Camping At Disney World 2018 - Day 9

This was it - our last day on the road.  We got up early, shook off the cold, packed up camp and drove about 10hrs (with stops) to get home.

We had a really great trip and I'm glad we got to go with Mom.  I think my biggest takeaways from this trip were:

• Disney World has become much more crowded.  It's true what they say that there really isn't a slow time or season anymore.  Just plan the best you can and be prepared to make the most of it.
• Camping and going to the park wasn't a problem at all.  True you can't really head back to your tent in the middle of the hot day to rest/take a nap, but if needed you could easily camp out in a comfy chair in the lobby of any of the myriad of hotels around the property.
• The hardest part of the trip, and the hardest to adjust to, was the temperature swing from the traveling phase of the trip to the destination portion.  Planning to camp in 80-90° weather is one thing, planning to camp in 30-40°, then 80-90°, then 30-40° again weather is something else.  It didn't help that our travel days ended up being colder than originally forecast, and our Disney days were hotter than they were predicted to be.  I suppose if we had an unlimited amount of space and could fully pack for both extremes it would have been more comfortable, but as it was we did the best with what we had.
• And that's it.  You can only learn 3 lessons from any given situation - additional enlightenment would just be ridiculous.

I'll circle back around to compare/contrast once we take the next trip with our friends.  Hope you enjoyed.
