Christmas 2004

A December 2004 trip to Orlando by richardsonhicks

We went south to visit Billy's kids for Christmas and stopped in Orlando for a week to visit the Mouse. We stayed at Summer Bay and loved the accommodations. The weather could have been better, but the company and the sightseeing were great!

Best Things About the Resort:
Friendly staff, beautiful landscaping, very nice rooms, and within walking distance from amenities

Resort Experience:
We always like to exchange to somewhere new when we go to Orlando. This one sounded nice and didn't disappoint. I liked it here more than Orange Lake; it was not as big, but they were much friendlier. The landscaping is lovely, the roads are easy to navigate, and it’s a great spot for short walks. On a small lake, it allows some of the local wildlife (herons) to visit right under your window!

The two-bedroom we stayed in was very comfortable. Either bedroom would do just fine, but the master had a lovely Jacuzzi tub. The balcony was the perfect seating area for beautiful sunsets and dining (if the weather had been a little warmer). I wouldn't hesitate to return here.
