We Escaped to Disney for Memorial Day Weekend (And It Was Exactly What We Needed)
Need a break from the everyday grind? Join us for a spontaneous Memorial Day weekend getaway to Orlando as we trade the hustle and bustle for a relaxing escape filled with Disney magic, resort luxury, incredible transportation adventures, and one unforgettable Florida lightning storm!
In this episode of Boating Journey, we spend the weekend exploring EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom while staying at the stunning Gaylord Palms Resort. This isn't a Disney planning guide or theme park review—it's a real-world weekend escape focused on slowing down, enjoying the experience, and making memories.
Along the way, we ride some of Disney's most iconic transportation systems, including the monorail, ferry boat, trams, and buses as we hop between parks and take in the sights. Back at the resort, we unwind with an amazing dinner at MOOR and witness one of Florida's spectacular lightning storms from the comfort of the Gaylord Palms.
