Wednesday afternoon we took a stroll on Disney's Boardwalk. This is actually an area of Vacation Disney, with time share units among the 25,000 rooms available in Disney resorts throughout the property. Surrounding this small lake, which has boat connections to Epcot and Magic Kingdom, are Boardwalk, Beaches, Dolphin and Swan resorts. Along the boardwalk are shops (Disney retail is everywhere throughout the properties), snack bars, restaurants and nigh clubs for adults.
Thursday we did Disney Hollywood where Grandpa B rode the Tower of Terror Elevator. We took the back lot tour, saw the Little Mermaid show and the Beauty and the Beast Musical.
By now, we'd reached the Disney saturation point, and merrily went down the road to Winter Haven.
Here, where Cyrpess Gardens once thrived with it's water skiing shows and lush gardens with Southern Belles, a Legoland Park is being constructed. With that, I believe, Florida should become the Most Amusement Park state!
This afternoon we're going to explore Spook Hill in Lake Wales, hoping to find out if cars really do glide uphill on this road!
P.S. Yes, they really do!
And then we happened upon a wonderful seafood restaurant! Great gumbo, coconut shrimp with a Key Lime Hot Pepper dipping sauce (God, I wanted that recipe! Citrus-y sweet with a nice after bite of pepper) and lovely fried calamari with fresh marinara sauce.
