Gone Fishin’… At Disney World!
One of the best perks of our Disney Visa card are the points we build up to spend during our next visit. We redeem them before our trip and use them on a splurge. Our last splurge was a private fishing excursion on Crescent Lake. My boys had a blast. My husband’s fish tales were scaled down to a believable account due to the many witnesses. And I was able to enjoy a leisurely cruise around my favorite EPCOT resort area. Disney supplies everything you need for their catch and release bass fishing excursions: fishing equipment, rod, reel, nets, bait and Continue reading Gone Fishin’… At Disney World!
