Here in the middle of Florida is what I call the amusement capital of the US. And with the parks here charging well over $100 a person per day, it can send you to the poor house. We chose the cheaper stops like Disney Springs. This free place is filled with shops, restaurants, venues, and things to do. When we tired of walking, we hopped a boat shuttle to a local resort and rode back. Another day we visited the Disney Boardwalk. More shops and restaurants and then a trip on the Skyliner in a new style gondola around Epcot. On the Skyliner, we passed over the Caribbean Beach Resort where we stayed in 2003. Yet another stop here was Celebration, a small town of galleries and eateries and a great walking path thru trees and along lakes. A birdwatcher’s heaven.
