Live from Windsor Hills.....

[Jeninindy]

Good Afternoon All,

We arrived here yesterday afternoon and everything is wonderful - we are staying at Mickey's World and the townhouse is exactly as described. The beds are very comfortable and three bathrooms is a wonderful thing with three kids. We are so happy we choose to do townhouse vs onsite.

The backroad directions are wonderful - we were at MGM this morning for Star Wars weekend - the kids had a blast. We did a ton of stuff this morning despite the crowds (thanks to a sponsor of this site) and came back for an afternoon break/swim at 1:30pm after the Indiana Jones show.

We are heading back this afternoon for the Cars Stunt show, dinner, a few more rides and Fantasmic......

The townhouse looks awesome! Thanks for the review. It's always nice to hear about another option for our August 2008 trip!

Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

I'm so happy to hear that Windsor Hills is nice. We are vacationing there Oct13-20th and I'm still nervous about having made the choice to stay at WH vs. a name brand hotel/timeshare. Your post makes me feel better about my decision to pick WH. Thanks.

We'll be there in December, I'm glad it lives up to it's website pictures. Do you have a laptop with you or are you posting from an internet cafe... I've been curious about how we'll do the 24 hour advance check in for Southwest for our trip home. We'll have to check in on X-mas day since we fly on the 26th and I've been wondering if there is a computer facility/access at WH. We won't have a laptop with us.

There's high speed internet in a lot of the homes, but no public computer facilities or internet access type of setups in the resort. There is an internet cafe some have used on US-192 Irlo Bronson Highway over by the Giordano's.

Once in March when the internet wasn't working at our rented pool home, I brought my Macbook with Airport to the clubhouse. Sitting there, I was able to use it. Not sure whether it was a fluke, but just wanted to report my experience.

Do not worry, once you have vacationed at a private home you will not want to go back to a hotel!

Glad you are having a great start to your holiday - we are there in OCtober

I think I remember a stroller being mentioned on the website. Do you see one and what type is it?

Also curious about the internet connection in this Townhouse. We will be bringing 2 laptops with us.

Can't Wait!!!

Sorry, we have been having a blast and I haven't checked the internet!!!

I am posting from the dining room table from my laptop, there is a wireless connection in the townhouse. The internet connection works great and all of the equipment is in the bottom drawer of the cabinet near the dining room table. The plasma tv works great - at least during the few times we have actually turned it on!!!!

We haven't made it to the clubhouse yet, so I cannot tell you what is there!!!

I highly recommended this townhouse........the kids love, love, love the splash pool and so do I. Oh yeah, the w/d too - nothing better than going home from vacation with NO dirty clothes.

I second and third that statement!!!!!!

There is an umbrella stroller in the closet - we haven't used it though......There is also a pack n play too....

I was going to stay at mickeys world but they didnt have my dates available so I am booking now with the owner of mickeys world's sister. I guess the sister helped decorate both places. I would love to see pics of anyone that stayed there . Is everything as nice as it looks on the site? And did they ever put a freeze on the credit card for a security deposit? I forgot to ask how they do that. Thanks!

Yes the place looks exactly like the pictures - it is even nicer in person than the pictures!!! It's beautifully decorated and was sparkling clean when we arrived.

There is currently no hold on my credit card for a security deposit.

Will answer more later - have to get to bed so we can be ready to hit MGM in the morning!!!!
