We spent our 2008 winter at the Orange Lake Resort. This is our 4th winter at Orange Lake. Again this year we stayed in the same unit at the Tennis Villas which gives a great view of the lake and golf course as well as views of some great sunsets. Again this year we worked at Disney Wide World of Sports and volunteered at Give Kids the World. Click here to view a short video about volunteering at Give Kids the World. We are friends with Bill one of the volunteers featured in the video.
We visited the Disney Parks many times as well as enjoying a season pass to Seaworld.
On 4/19/08 we moved about 5 miles east to the Vacation Village at Parkway resort for a 3 week stay. We have stayed at this resort several times and always enjoy our visit. We stayed in Florida longer this year so that we could enjoy a Disney Panama Canal cruise in May. During our visit we enjoyed the Arabian Nights dinner show which is located next door to the resort.
