Are we Disney World pros? Yes, we are! Do we still make mistakes in Disney World? Well, to quote The Good Place, “Pobody’s Nerfect.”

For example, we still trip over the trolley tracks in Magic Kingdom although we’ve walked down Main Street, U.S.A. MILLIONS of times. We also still occasionally forget to bring our rain gear to the park, even on days when we KNOW it’s going to rain. Yes, we even occasionally still wear shoes that we think could be a bad idea (and they usually are) and have achy feet at the end of the day. In other words, we’re human. So we have a story to share with you about us getting lost at a Disney hotel.

We recently stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside in Magnolia Bend (each section has its own name, as does each building). We left our room to hit up Riverside Mill Food Court, came back, but then…well…we couldn’t find the building our room was in. Even with the signs at the resort, we wandered past our building in BOTH directions because every single building LOOKS THE SAME. Okay, so that’s frustrating, right?

So we started looking for the quiet pool that we knew we’d walked past to get to the food court, and we found what we thought was the RIGHT quiet pool, but turns out, it wasn’t. So we wandered around the wrong set of buildings in the wrong direction for about 20 minutes. Don’t get us wrong — it’s a beautiful resort to wander around, but at this point, it was getting ridiculous! We’re Disney pros — HOW IS THIS HAPPENING TO US? So yep, we were just aimlessly looking at room numbers, and yep, WE WERE LOST.

We did get back there eventually, but the next morning, we were running late and were desperately trying to find our car. Guess what? We were looking in the WRONG PARKING LOT. There are SIGNS, but those signs are pretty vague. If you park your car late at night and need to find your room, you might end up a half a mile away from where you parked. So good luck on getting back to it in the morning! Anyway, will our walk of shame never end?

So here’s where we really feel like we messed up. When you check into any room at a Disney World hotel, you’re generally given a map by a Cast Member who shows you exactly where your room is (and they usually even circle it on the map), as well as where the closest parking lot is. Did we look at that map? NOOOOO…we’re pros, we don’t need no stinking maps.

Except that we do, apparently. So don’t be like us. Look at that map, carry it with you, take a photo of it, and keep it on your phone. You may need it as these massive Disney World resorts. If all else fails, leave yourself a trail of breadcrumbs when you leave your room because otherwise, you’re just going to lose your way all over again.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.
