The Magic Kingdom

We arrived in the late afternoon on Sunday at the place we will be renting for a month. This place is very close to Disney World which was our objective.

We unloaded all the stuff we had in the car and then I went exploring while hubby took a much deserved nap. He has driven this whole trip! I headed for the clubhouse pool area; there I met some lovely people from Scotland. We had a very nice chat; too bad they are leaving today for home:-(
Since we're going to be here for a whole month I'll post pictures of the area slowly. We are renting a townhouse in a gated community. This morning we took hubby to Disney World and dropped him off for the day. We are less than 10 miles from the heart of the park; I will stay at the townhouse and put things away and go shopping for necessities.

There is a great pool area here and they have 'spa day' twice a week. The dogs and I took a little walk on the nature walk path after we dropped off hubby. Hubby will probably film half the day and then come back to the condo for a rest and then go back to film some more.

The townhouse is 3 br and 2.5 baths; we got the lead to it on Craigslist. We put an ad for a place and we also look for places. In this case the owner of this townhouse contacted us from out ad. We post a picture of the two of us and the dogs so people can picture the type of people they are renting their property. This works well for them and for us. I've successfully used Craigslist for several things; you do need to be careful in some cases due to potential scams.

Later today I went to Walmart for some essentials for the townhouse, while I was there I stopped and talked to an employee in the sporting goods department. I asked him about fishing laws and techniques in Florida. Turns out that the little pond right behind my townhouse is a great place to fish. Since it is on private property and the property is gated, no license is needed! Yipee, glad I brought my rod!
