Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going on holiday today. We're going on an airplane today. Yes. To Florida.

It was one of the first moderately priced Disney hotels.

We enjoyed it. Basically, you sped around the Everglades and the uh pilot would hunt out alligators and other wildlife, which he would then show you.

Dixie Landings is the resort that we probably enjoyed the most.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider staying in hotels instead of villas when traveling with a toddler who cannot swim.
Book hotels well in advance to ensure you know exactly where you will be.
