The trip didn't start until 10.30am on Sunday 17 February 2008 thanks mainly to Donna being hit with a gastro virus, something that was to slow both of us down throughout the Disney part of our trip.
The drive down ended up being split into approximately 800 km on Sunday before I tired of driving and we stopped for the night in a Best Western in Walterboro, South Carolina. Monday saw us complete the last 600 km into Walt Disney World (WDW).
Our Disney experience started with our accommodation at The Wilderness Lodge. In the second tier of Disney's resorts, the massive 4 storey entry foyer includes multi-storey totem poles and everything else that makes it special in the Disney way.
Our room 6031 overlooked the pool and had a good view of Lake Buena Vista and the nighttime water light show. We used the Unofficial Guide to WDW guide book to plan our whole Disney trip. Still not sure what to make of the fact that it is as big a book as the Lonely Planet Guide to USA! Idea was to have a room on the sixth floor looking the other way up to The Magic Kingdom where we could see the nightly fireworks show. However I didn't read the earlier sentence which was that we needed an even numbered room! Was ok but a bit of a bummer.
After carting everything up to our room, we drove over to Downtown Disney for the evening. Had dinner at Planet Hollywood and wandered the shops.
