We arrived at Fort Wilderness Campground about noon and got the site we wanted in Bobcat Bend. You have been to Disney too many times if you know sites you want in advance. It is perfect. We are not going to parks but don’t think that means a lazy day, we walked 7.5 miles on day one. That is almost 18,000 steps. We around the campground, drove to Disney Springs for an early dinner at The Homecoming. Too much food, but so very good. We have another day’s meals in the leftovers. We walked at the Springs, took a boat to Port Orleans and walked about there and boated back, hustled from one end to the opposite end to get back to our car and back to the campground in time to walk to the beach and watch the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Tomorrow will not be less busy. But what fun. We snagged a cone to share at Salt and Straw during a deluge in the afternoon (before dinner!) and it was exceptional. We tried S&S in Seattle three years ago and it was equally as good.
