I can't wait for a recap of your race!<br /><br />I have only been to Disney once in my life. It was during our senior trip in high school. My sister and I were never really Disney fans when we were younger - there were only select movies my parents chose to buy for us. There are some classics that I have never seen and people gasp every time I tell them. When we went to Disney, I wasn't that impressed but I think it was due to the organization of the trip. Plus, we hardly saw ANY characters! I wanted to get pictures with them and I did not see a single one :(<br />If my husband and I ever have kids, I think I would definitely bring them to Disney world so they can experience it while they are young, unlike me!<br />I do love Disney and the magic around it so I am hoping when I bring my own kids or nieces/nephews I will get to experience the magic as well :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975156527926120864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-76557255494710223082014-02-19T10:17:47.834-05:002014-02-19T10:17:47.834-05:00Great pics and I would consider staying in one the...Great pics and I would consider staying in one they look amazing ;-) mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039174297761185867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-63668435941414446512014-02-19T09:59:58.882-05:002014-02-19T09:59:58.882-05:00It was actually just the land when Walt wanted to ...It was actually just the land when Walt wanted to buy it. From what I understand the Family sold the land to Wyndham instead of Disney and then Wyndham is the one who built the resort. I imagine that land didn't come cheap!

Funny you should mention about the airplanes because I have always wondered what the view would be like to fly over Disney property, but now that you've mentioned it I don't ever remember seeing or hearing a plane overhead while at Disney. I'm definitely going to be on the look out for one this weekend!Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-25668827321746625822014-02-19T09:17:23.527-05:002014-02-19T09:17:23.527-05:00I have actually heard really great things about th...I have actually heard really great things about this resort!! If I ever stayed at a non-Disney resort it would either be this one or the Hilton in Downtown Disney (I think that those hotel guests still get the extra magic hours). I have also heard that Disney has so many 'air rights' that they don't allow airplanes to fly over or even near the parks!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450134506494930799noreply@blogger.com
