The main attraction is the eight restored vintage Airstream trailers that guests can rent starting at $149 a night. There are seven vintage disney cruises and disney world vacation packages convertibles where travelers can sit and watch an old-time movie on a large outdoor screen.
disney cruises and disney world vacation packages A movie buff for as long as he can remember, Gudenas decorated the Airstreams in a manner he thinks John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, or Robert Redford would have liked when they were filming on location in Utah.
Each trailer has a kitchen, a tiny bathroom, beds, satellite disney cruises and disney world vacation packages radio and television as well as a wooden deck with Adirondack chairs and a propane grill. Gudenas even sells ready-to-cook packs of steak, salmon, chicken, brats, or hamburgers so his guests don't have to hunt for the grocery store.
Gudenas is easy to spot: He wears 1950s-type bowling shirts—a style he adopted long before Charlie Sheen made them famous on Two and a Half Men —and a straw porkpie hat. He delivers dinner disney cruises and disney world vacation packages and breakfast on a vintage 1966 bright yellow electric golf cart.
Gudenas, who operates the facility with his son, said one of his first memories as a child was watching The Bridge on the River Kwai in the backseat of his parents' Ford Fairlane at a double drive-in movie theater.
During his youth, he returned to the drive-in many times: He hopped the fence and pulled the speaker off the post before he was shooed away. He also remembers going in his first car, a 1966 Mustang, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
It had to be just right, he said. The town of Escalante is almost exactly in the middle of the 124-mile stretch of Highway 12, making it a good home base to explore the recreational areas in either direction.
The Resort Store features a wide assortment of food, beverages, and sundries. Located indoors, adjacent to the store, is a full bath and shower for guests. A wash and fold laundry service is also available.
The distinctive-looking disney cruises and disney world vacation packages Airstream trailer dates to 1929, when Wally Byam purchased a Model T Ford chassis, built a platform on it and then erected disney cruises and disney world vacation packages a tent on it. His wife, Marion, refused to go camping without a kitchen, so he built a teardrop-shaped shelter that enclosed a small ice chest and kerosene stove. He published an article on "How to Build a Trailer for One Hundred Dollars" and sold 15,000 detailed instruction plans. After several friends asked him to make them trailers in his backyard, the Airstream Trailer Company went into full production in 1932. Airstream is credited with the first holding tank, ladder frame, pressurized water system and, in 1957, the first fully self-contained travel trailer.
