This summer my family and I spent eight days in Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida on vacation. It was super hot but super fun and we enjoyed our time together and had an adventure almost everyday. We booked our time share reservation in the off peak season to save money that we used for food and activities. There are tons of FREE things to do and there is of course Disney home of The Mouse :)
I documented most of our favorite moments and have selected a few to share with you guys.
* This was the week before the unfortunate Disney event and the funny thing is, while we rode the Disney Monorail I saw an alligator pop up in the water a when I looked to the sidewalk nearby I saw no gate or fence. Once we were home and heard about Gatorgate, I instantly remembered my observation. Our prayers go out to the family.

Departure & Day 1
Time to take off! We booked off season and the seats were very reasonable for roundtrip tickets on a direct flight.
Enjoying the Florida sun after landing.
We explored our time share location as soon as we unloaded the luggage! Nature abounds in Orlando.
We got a feel for all of the options available to us at our time share on the first day. The property offered a game room, dive in movie pool parties, face painting, swimming and so much more. Any time we wanted to have some family fun and didn't want to travel we could stay on the property. They offered complimentary shuttle service to restaurants, Disney World, and even the grocery store. We full took advantage of this service almost daily.
Our first night in Florida, we visited an Italian eatery, within walking distance that offered us a filling and flavorful meal. We enjoyed fresh made bread, mussels, garlic knots, and a delicious pizza that easily fed us all for less than $20 dollars. The portion sizes were generous and the taste was excellent.

Day 2
Parkway International Walkway offered an even closer look at Floridian nature.
Lots of children on the property came out for FREE face painting.
We took advantage of the pools, face painting and took a walking tour on the Parkway International after sleeping in. We learned about some cool places in Kissimmee that we could reach using the complimentary shuttle service and planned on visiting the next day.
Day 3 and Beyond!
We grabbed ice cream at a Kissimmee shop with cool outdoor furniture. It was always busy! Meal combos were only $5
This FREE car show was fun for all of us!
On our way to see The Mouse!
