2018~The Disney World Video

Finally!

Below is the video from our RV trip to Disney World. I had to forgo the idea of putting it in 1080p. It's in 720 and that took over 7 or 8 hours to upload to YouTube before I could put it on the blog.

My question is:
Is that normal? 

I'm learning as I go here 
with all of this video stuff!

There may be a quicker way to get an iMovie to YouTube (it'd be nice) but I certainly don't know what it is! If anyone knows, I'm willing to learn and open to suggestions. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you enjoy the video.

Below are some links:

Stay tuned for a vid about the campground.
Hopefully, it won't take me as long this time.

Hopefully.
Maybe.
Possibly.
Could be.
 We'll see.

Happy Camper Smiles,

2018-Disney World's Campground & Info

In May, we took our teenage grandsons, Preston & Triston, on an RV trip to Disney World.

All aboard!
We're on the ferry from the 
RV park (Disney's campground
to the Magic Kingdom!
I created a little video in iMovie about the trip.

Okay, maybe it's not that little.
It's almost 15 minutes!

I am having one heck of time getting it in a format to post on this blog though. I think (and hope) that I almost have the issues whooped! If so, I should be able to post it soon.  

FINGERS CROSSED!

In the meantime, 
I wanted to mention a little bit about


Okay, maybe not a little but a lot!
First of all, it's quite impressive!
Second, we loved it! 


The iMovie video that I'll be posting includes a bit of footage from our site #918 and the loop's area surrounding it but I will be posting a separate video about the campground. (Lord willing' and the creek don't rise! I've got to get the first one figured out before I'll even attempt to finish the second one.) 

Anyhow, I can't say enough 
good things about this place!
Okay, I'll try! 


The campground is huge--750 acres--yet it's quaint because it's distributed throughout 28 loops as you can see from the map below.
Map & Info
Sites are also available in various sizes and 11 laundry facilities are spread around the park. 

The map portion is mostly the same 
but this side has some additional info.

The campground's coziness is also created by the abundant pine and cypress trees along with tropical trees and other glorious green foliage as they abound along the sides of the roads, around each campsite, and throughout every loop.

The park is well groomed. 
Some is landscaped and some is natural. 
Either way, it's all awesome!
Driving in the park is only allowed for entering and exiting. Golf carts can be rented for $60 a day but Disney's buses are free and run constantly.

We're trekking around in the golf cart! 


You can also rent cabins, bikes, fishing gear, canoes, kayaks, pontoon boats and more. Other amenities include two Trading Posts, a pool, horseback riding, basketball, dog park, dog walking paths, jogging trails, archery, shuffleboard, tennis courts, wagon rides, nightly movies, a restaurant, and other goodies. Of course, you'll need to be prepared to pay Disney prices which you can find by clicking here.

Horseback riders in the park!
I'd like to do this next time.

Speaking of football...
which we're ready for!

We brought out the bean bag toss and 
played on the dog walking path behind the RV.

Elmer & Chewy made a new and 
bigger friend in the dog park.

Elmer and the new friend had quite a time 
running around and getting acquainted 
while Chewy wasn't sure what to do!
It was all very cute though!

The ferry (in the first pic) only runs from the campground to the Magic Kingdom and is about a 10-minute cruise to get there. To access the other parks--Epcot, Animal Kingdom & Hollywood Studios--you'll need to drive or take one of the plentiful buses which is a breeze to do. 

The buses are also available for locations like Disney Springs (shopping, dining, etc.), the water parks--Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach, and more. We drove to Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf but we took a bus to Disney Springs.    


As you can see, many of the RVers 
camp with the spirit of Disney in mind!

Camping Disney style!
And USA style!

Triston was ready for fajita night at the RV!

two Trading Posts in the campground.

We opened the RV door one day and this 
sweet, little guy was staring us in the face.
He's tucked away in the awning's hinge area.
He stayed there the entire day.

The squirrels were extra friendly too!
It was such a neat trip!
George and I plan to go back.

That's it for now.
I hope to have the video up next.

Smiles All,
