Hi Jim,
l know that you're kidding. Disney's dubious and extremely slow execution of chargers is polar opposites from Tesla's. You can't find a less similar comparison.

My subtle sarcasm is probably lost on some, I was not being complimentary to the design of the charge stations at Epcot. I am honestly torn between the fact that there are chargers and the facts that there are not enough, they cost too much, they are a pain to park at and they only have them at Epcot. I agree that every Disney resort should have charging facilities as well as the parks. I expect Disney to be world class and the lack of chargers removes them from that status.
I stayed there many times. It's awesome there. The chargers are located located in the garage next to the entrance- making it the best spots. Overnight you get a full charge. I thinks it's the best place to stay in Orlando.
Hi Harry,
Could you please clarify? Where have you stayed that have chargers in the garage next to the entrance?
Thanks.

Stopped by the SC last night. Minor changes as one can see in the photos.
Two different parking signs; 3 of each.
On the toll front, I came from I4 north on the TP and paid $.52 using Sunpass. Did the Uturn at the service plaza, took TP south, exited to I4, and paid another $.52. Non-Sunpass holders would pay the full $.75 each way.

Nice location design (I understand the 1-way, no backing possible idea). It leaves little chances to get ICEd, someone couldn't argue that he didn't see the charging stalls
There is not much traffic past that area, you have to drive all the way around the island to get back to it. It is not a path most visitors to the plaza take.
Hi Andrew,
Welcome to the Sunshine State.
Here's a link to a Map of Florida Hotels with Electric Charging Stations.
Just zoom into the area in Orlando that you are interested in to find a hotel with overnight charging.
This thread below discusses some of the hotels.
Hotels in Florida with Charging Stations
In addition, the Amtrak station in Sanford is only about 10 miles from the Tesla Orlando-Longwood Service Center in the event you need an immediate charge.
Please let us know how the Auto Train experience goes.

Here's a photo taken by a club member today.
It looks open, but unfortunately he didn't have his Model S with him to test it out.

You would obviously know that there is a Supercharger at Woodbridge a few miles south of Lorton, I would charge up there before loading your car, then you can easily make it to Port St Lucie from Sanford. Also, the Ft Drum Station would may be up by then also. But Turkey Lake SP will be quite out of your way from Sanford. I thought of the Auto Train when coming back from Mass in Oct. But the drive wasn't difficult, the thought of it being free was nice. Also would rather be driving my MS than sitting on the train for 19 hours. You could probably drive from where you are to Jax by dark, then straight on down to FLL, saving time and about $800.
Supercharger in Orlando (Confirmed?)
I've got a 10 and 9 year old with me, and we thought it would be fun to try the train. We've got a family sleeper room, so the overnight part should be easy. We're staying one night in Orlando, and will likely use the car a bit while we're there, so I think the Orlando SC on the way out makes the most sense. We will be driving back home from Ft. Lauderdale after the cruise.
