Another WARM & SUNNY "Disney" thought (in the cold of winter!).

I snapped him/her as the gator lazily "stalled" near the edge of the waterhole. I dread the thought of telling you "where" I snapped this...as you may never wish to walk near there again! Then again, he was a "wittle-baby-gator" LOL! (DH was saying MOMMY is in the bushes nearby...watching me!). He/she was approximately 3-4 feet in length.

My RED DODGE VIPER...in the midst of the water in between the Dolphin/Swan (Dodge Convention), My WING at the Dolphin...and the VIEW from a window of our Suite!

Enjoy!!

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I only just found out about it today. The Dolphin has officially anounced a replacement for the once popular Juan & Only's restaurant. Touted as the best mexican restaurant in Orlando, J&O's has been sorely missed by many. In it's place the Dolphin will add a yet to be named seafood restaurant. Construction on the new
restaurant, which will be under the direction of nationally
known chef Todd English (of Olives fame in Boston), is scheduled to be completed by next fall. I've eaten at Olive's and feel comfortable in saying that this new restaurant, if it's anything like Olive's, should be out of this world.

Thanks for the update Irodk! I LOVE T.E., and his expertise is notorious & legendary! I'll miss J & O, but will now be eager to taste the menu of Todd's new hotspot! GREAT NEWS!! Thanks...DF99

Nope...but we had fun trying to figure-out a way to "drive" this one home! LOL. Our neighbor's have one (yellow), and I've taken it for a spin. They also recently bought an H-2, and I also got behind the wheel for a jaunt around the "hood". Actually, I have a vintage (RED) Vette, and "play" with it once in a blue-moon. RED...is my favorite color for sports cars. My other vehicle is BLACK, w/Limo-tint on all the windows...nice and private! LOL.

Oh no, I've created a monster!!!!!! Ha....just kidding. Keep 'em coming!

"You've UNLEASHED the BEAST" LOL!! I'll taper off now...he he! Like a KID in a CANDY store...I've learned a NEW TRICK! Now, I know why you were SO EXCITED once you mastered this feat! I have tons of pics...could go on for eons...LOL! But, to think this summer, I can post a few each day...and give you a true "FEEL" for the trip~PURE MAGIC!

 

[ozziewags]

No, don't stop......we want to see your 'other' house! With all the decs and the monorail!

I am trying decide on if these would be better or the AKL- standard view.

I am really concerned about cleanliness and being updated and new.

I have read the Swan is being renovated. How much? Just rooms or hall? Carpert new? What about the big pool? Does show a lot of wear?

I was hoping someone could convince me not to spend 199 for AKL when I can stay at Swan for 129.

I really like the location of the Swan as I like to be able to walk places.


Lo

DF, I was wondering how 3 people would fit in a Viper! DH collects old cars and has several. He sold an old corvette for a fourtune last year! He buys and sell antique cars. I drive a 540i BMW (silver)! I love this car because it is a sporty/sedan/6 speed! We are a car loving family! What is an H-2?

I love the picture of the hallway at the Dolphin! It made me want to go back NOW! Thank you for posting the great pictures and keep them coming! We love pictures and I really have to learn how to post digital pics!
