I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this in the past, but Allison and I are planning to drive to Florida and back as part of our Epic Disney Adventure. We figure that getting to Disney and back has to be as epic as the visit to Disney itself. For the next few post I’m going to talk about some of the stops we plan on making on our way to and from Walt Disney World. Most of these “plans” are works in progress, and we’re constantly changing our minds as we go. Some stops will be long, others only a few hours, but we want to taste a little bit of the USA before we go visit the House of Mouse.

St Augustine is very close to Disney World, you may be asking yourself, why don't you just head straight to the park instead of stopping just short. There are two reasons we chose St Augustine as a stop right before our trip, and here they are: First of all we want to have our first day at the park be a full day. We're planning on staying at St Augustine the night before we're supposed to check in. Then we're going to head over to our resort first thing in the morning, check our bags, and get ourselves started on the theme parks.
The second reason we want to stop at St Augustine is the city itself. This is the oldest continuously inhabited city (by Europeans) in the USA, and it shows it. The architecture in this city looks fantastic, and I think considering our epic adventure it only makes sense to visit a city with such a history. I also think that this city will give us a little of the Florida vibe before we walk into the Mickey Mouse utopia.
