Timeshare Travels: 2007

Orange Lake Resort-Kissimmee, FL (Jan-Mar 07)

We returned to the Orange Lake Resort to enjoy another Florida winter. We stayed in the exact same unit in the tennis villa's again this year. We enjoyed having our daughter Vicki's family pay us a visit. A highlight of their visit was celebrating Sierra's fourth birthday. It has become an every other year tradition.

We worked at Disney's Wide World of Sports again this year. We really enjoy the work and the many friendships we've made with other snowbirds.

We also did a lot of volunteering at Give Kids the World which is such a blessing.

Disney Bahamas Cruise (1/25/07)

On 1/25/07 we headed out for a four day Disney Cruise to Nassau and Castaway Cay. One of the perks we get working for Disney are discounted space available cruises which are great.

Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and activities on the island. Click here to see a short video of Castaway Cay.

While in Nassau we enjoyed checking out the beautiful Atlantis Resort. We also enjoyed the great food, shows and fun on the ship. Click here to view a video of the Atlantis Resort.

On 3/31/07 we moved to the Vacation Village at Parkway for our final 2 weeks in Florida. This is a nice resort in a great location. We extended our stay a couple weeks so we could attend a family wedding. We were glad to have Marlene's parents join us for a few days before the wedding.

We also enjoyed a day on the beautiful road to Hana which is a 68 mile drive with over 600 curves and 56 bridges. We left the driving to a van driver which a better way to go than driving yourself. Click here to enjoy a ride on the roat to Hana.
