Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past.

Backseat Driver (2011)

This is the view from the backseat of an extended length golf cart at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World. You can see one of these carts in action via this video I shot in 2006. Coronado is a convention resort with rooms very spread out on property. Thus, they will often provide you a ride for your luggage via these motorized machines.

The carts don't really fit the Southwest/Mexican theme at all, but when you have a ton of stuff to haul, they do come in pretty handy — though I say get off your butt and walk! Today's photo was shot in January 2011 as we were leaving a conference that was held at the resort. We used the cart because of the need to transport the contents of an entire exhibitor booth.

If you look carefully, you can see my reflection in the mirror above the driver (I'm wearing a yellow jacket!)
