Trip to Orlando-Day One






On Friday (September 5) we drove down to Orlando Florida despite the fact that there were several possible hurricanes headed our way. It was rainy down 95 but once we turned inland towards Orlando the weather cleared right up. Turns out our "Vacation Evacuation plan" was a good one (score one for Sundee, Christopher wanted to stay put and ride out the storm).  

We got to Shades of Green, which is a military resort right on the Disney complex. It is a beautiful place, they recently refurbished it and added on a new wing, which we got to stay in. Our R&R package included breakfast and dessert at the hotel, so that cut down on our food expenses which was really nice. We had a beautiful view of the golf course from our room. They have lots of fish in the ponds to feed, two very nice pools (one Mickey Mouse shaped!) and remote control boats that Christopher and Wesley had a good time playing with. They also had an AFFES which was nice. It's a beautiful resort, we are looking forward to going back and staying there again.
