    Looking for Orlando area residence! I need your advice!

    Although I don't live there full time I would endorse Hunter's Creek too. Seems to be very central and we've driven around it plenty and it seems like a nice tidy neighbourhood. In fact the house next door to my villa was owned by someone on Hunter's Creek. My friend moved to Florida and...

    We have a date and a place for the wedding

    What a beautiful house-it brings back great memories of my daughter's wedding day up in Mt Dora Florida at the Darst Victorian Manor last October. A truly magical day. Good luck to the happy couple.

    Cypress Gardens Closing

    We managed 3 trips there in the last 3 years and have some wonderful pictures of our daughter in various locations around the park in her 'southern belle ' gown. She was going to get married there (our friend's did) but settled on Mt Dora instead. Very sad-thought it was a magic...

    Dollar Car Rental - upgrades

    Sorry Disney Owl an I4 is just short for an intermediate (size) 4 door car-which is probably the commonest type of rental car. It's about the size of the new mondeo. There's E2's economy 2 door and E4's-well you can work that out. They are the size of chrysler neon's-you often don't get the...

    Dollar Car Rental - upgrades

    we rarely get upgrades-and I'm an agent! Probably because we usually get an I4-there must be zillions of them!

    Southern Dunes Villa

    At least you'll be handy for the Haines City Walmart! and it does great golf! Sadly my friend had to sell up because she could'nt get guests to travel all that far-even if she reduced her prices. Don't worry though-you'll have great time.

    Non-driver

    From Orlando or Sanford airports-take the 417 toll road going south and west. It's much quieter than the I4. Have some small change with you. Dollar bills etc. Allow about 45 mins from Sanford-less from Orlando -and as you start coming into the Orlando area you will see signs like the...

    My Next Holiday Question?

    We went to Vegas in October and the weather was lovely. My mum usually goes May and October/November and normally has great weather. I really enjoyed it-but Orlando still wins hands down. I'm a shopper not a gambler. Alison

    "I wouldn't fly to the US at the moment"

    We flew out 9 days after Sept 11th-and for once I was so full of bravado my fear of flying actually diminished. When we go back in May it will be my 7th visit since Sept 11. Like Harry the Spider-they didn't stop me from going in February and nothing is going to stop me next month. I had 4...

    Non-driver

    If you keep your driving on the I4 to a minimum then the rest is a piece of cake. With lots of roads like the 417 -Florida Greenway, the Beeline and the Osceola Parkway-you can get from A to B quite quickly as they are toll roads and are not over used. Navigation isn't difficult either...

    New Shopping Mall on I-Drive

    The construction in the middle of I Drive is an annexe for the convention center. When we were over in February it was looking almost ready for completion. Alison

    Anyone Else HATE Flying???

    I had hypnotherapy for my fear of flying and it did help a lot. I also take Bach rescue remedy and homeopathic calc carb. We go over about 3 times a year-so had to make sure I got it sorted out-it was so embarrassing. Have you had a look at EFT Emotive Freedom Therapy. Paul McKenna...

    Which breakfast buffet?

    Sam I never set out to upset you or Disney. I'm sorry if I have offended you -it wasn't my intention. I think we'll drop the subject now shall we? Alison

    Which breakfast buffet?

    No we weren't guests Sam and to be honest we never woke up that morning wondering how we could get the most out of Disney without paying for it. Disney are very relaxed at their hotels and this one in particluar. This is the way that they market their hotels. Every one who comes through...

    Which breakfast buffet?

    Hi Instimpres I had to chuckle when I read in your signature that All Star Sports is known to your DD as All Star Shoebox. One time when we knew we were flying in a day early and could not get into our villa till the following day on an earlier trip we went looking for somewhere to...
