What boat did you take from Epcot to HW studios? 

I was thinking, on our next trip, doing the Skyliner from HW studios to Epcot also. I didn't know you could ride a boat between the two.

Katman1356 is spot on and detailed with answer.  You board or disembark in EPCOT near the bridge at Fish & chips near Rose& crown England.  Gets you off your feet for awhile.

Monday from All Star Music we bussed to Disney HW studios, Skylined to Epcot, had lunch in France and boated back to Disney HW studios bussed back to All Star Music.  

Next to last paragraph says. . . “requires an E-PASS account with a minimum of $10 in prepaid tolls.”

Cast member event yesterday riding on Skyliners. No public.

Lucky for us our daughter received a post card from Marceline from another Fort Fiend.

We were planning a West/Southwest trip and added it as a stop.  We stayed 2 days and enjoyed every minute.  

Walt Disney’s parents moved the family there from Chicago.  They lived on a 40 acre farm.

Museum is located in the 2 story train depot. It is filled with Disney artifacts many fron Walt’s sister Rose.  There is one room devoted to Disney collectors who submit items on a rotating schedule.  Many of the volunteers new Walt from his visits to his “hometown”.  

Local eatery Ma Vic’s across the park from museum has great food.  It’s located in an old building that once was a hotel.  It’s said it inspired Walt to include on Main St Disneyland.

We got back a week ago from a Southwest 7,000 mi round trip from NJ.  We have 2015 F350 carrying Lance 4,500 lb bed camper. The the cruise control, exhaust break and tow haul features got a work out.  No only for the inclines, also the many 4%, 6% and even 1 10% declines.  Great looking F-450 you got.

Idea for shooting glasses   https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=clip+on+shooting+glasses&tag=geminipcstand-20&index=aps&hvadid=28314454637&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=e&hvdev=t&ref=pd_sl_8tsk2flvng_e

I'll look for clues.

Well that was exciting, constuction, traffic, cars crossing parking spaces carlessly at Sam's. I thought we were gonna see The Kingdom, before we got to the Magic Kingdom.

Dave, thanks got the GPS set for 9498 S. Orange Blossom Trail Orlando FL 32837

I think this is the closest....we went there before. It's about 10 miles.

4763 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL 34746

Although....if they are taking 528 from Canaveral to the Fort, this one might be more convenient to that route:

9498 S Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, FL 32837

I'm so glad I have no access to a car when I go

Golf cart? Rent a car. Time 'tween FW & POP Cent?

Awhile ago, diesel & 87 gas were same price in NJ.

Welcome!! Depending on your dates in Oct you'll have a chance to meet lots of us :)

You've been warned.

Kool!

Jumping to here just to type I'm in!
