Disney/Orlando Boxes?
Board: Traditional Letterboxes

So from a quick search I see that there USED to be boxes in Disney World that are no longer there (seems pretty brave to attempt a plant there anyhow!). I'd love to hear that dramatic story if anyone wants to tell it. ;)

But anyhow, family and I are going to Disney and Universal in April. Wondering what some of your favorite boxes in the area are. Ideally, I'd love to find a public park outside Disney that has a Disney themed series or something.

They just had a Theme Park themed gather in Clermont (which is NW of Disney) a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps the boxes are still out?

Boxes have been pulled. They were in and around Lake Louisa State Park. It was super. Eeyoremama was the hostess. She might have some ideas.

Check Clermont, Florida listings

Also, message to Eeyoremama if she still has the clues to Lake Louisa. The clues for the event were not published, and some or all of the boxes were pulled, they were temporary.

There is a series called Famous Floridians, series #1....planted by Grannybutterfly, but they are carves by Safari Man. There are 5 boxes and they are in a cemetery in Orlando-these were such wonderful finds! I was under the impression that they were all missing but one, but was so pleased to hear that while we were there for an event recently, others had found all of them. Sure enough, we went and they were all there, indeed! I highly recommend this series-and it is a very pleasant diversion from all the hoo-ha at the theme parks....just in case you need a little break! :-)

There are 2 Famous Floridians series. The series #2 boxes located in Gotha, FL (just west of Orlando) are all retired except one.

There was a mistake in the originally posted URL ("dramatic story"). Try this one:

Disney property is entirely off limits for letterboxing. Geocaching has at least once, resulted in the park being shut down for part of the day. Yeah, you don't want to be part of that, you will get kicked out of Disney.

I suggest to contact Eeyoremama and see if any of the 100 or so event boxes in Lake Louisa State Park and nearby are still in place, as she has the clues. I already discarded my clues.

Really? It works fine for me now and when I tested it before posting. Weird.

Was it some kind of tag added when I bookmarked that post that personalized it for my account or something? (I don't have the words for what I'm asking. . .) Is that why it still works for me, but not for everyone else? Just curious for future reference.

The message isn't actually deleted... It just doesn't show up because it doesn't match the 'search' that the URL uses. Looks like it's searching for a specific post that's also a favorite post or something like that and if you don't have it marked as a favorite, it appears to have been deleted.

Anyhow, cut off the typeId part of the URL and all is good. =) https://www.atlasquest.com/boards/messages.html?startId=942510;boardId=370

Funny! It showed up as deleted for me, too, but I thought it was intentional: Disney boxes removed/Disney posts deleted. I'm disappointed it was a glitch. ;)

We did enjoy finding this one in the Wilderness Lodge. It made us laugh.

That's a fancy box. It appears to be made of metal. Since it is current and in a Disney property, it's not our kind of letterbox. What is it?

Oh, it was just a mail box in the lobby.

But we had a lot of fun joking around about it.

It looks like you could ink that letterbox up and stamp it in your book anyway. Look at those nice raised letters! Too bad they're backward.

The big question is "is it magnetic and did you check around the edges?"
