Kissimmee and the Orlando area

Oct 28 - 31/13 Hot Weather high 80's to 90 - heard it might actually be close to record high !

We stopped in the area to checkout a few campgrounds for the future.    The proximity to Disney World and Universal Studios is the key to the campground we are staying at this week, the Orlando/Kissimmee KOA.
It is not a very big park surprisingly but it has some of the longest sites we have ever seen in the last couple years.  They have premium pull-thru sites that are over 145 feet.  We could fit a couple of our rigs on one site with plenty parking too.   Our neighbour is staying here waiting to move into Disney's campground - Fort Wilderness.  You need to book at least 1 year in advance to camp there!!!  Well that may never happen for us I guess since we normally don't have next week planned out.  You can see he is ready to go there, check out his front window when he pulled in.  And they have no grandkids with them, so funny, he tells us he loves Mickey Mouse.

Another campground that is popular is where our friends like to stay Tropical Palms RV Resort.  It is right behind Old Town.  A very large park and lots of cabins too.   
October is not a busy month here and yet the roads are so congested and traffic so busy we do not feel  very comfortable on the motorcycle.    Yes we know its location, location, location and tourists, tourists, tourists:)
We also looked into the prices for Disney World and Universal.  If we have any mad money  left over in the spring we will stop back on our way home for 3 or 4 more days and see the parks.  Bring your credit card as the prices are over powering.  Yikes!
