The Moore's Theory: April 2012

As most know, we took a trip to Orlando over Spring Break due to I couldn't due much this past Christmas since I broke my wrist. We had a great time and decided to do the "real Disney vacation" we stayed at the http://www.shadesofgreen.org/, did not rent a car so we used their transportation (shuttle buses). It was very different than I visioned but we had a good time. I guess I was just surprised that with it being a military resort that we would have "military prices" it was more so of Disney prices. If you wanted a soda you paid $1.75 for a bottle (not a 2 Liter bottle), at the AAFES....I know I am on vacation but I don't need to break the bank. Lucky for me I had family in Florida that came to visit so I made them do a shopping trip for snacks and drinks. I did love they had a lot of restaurants nearby but for some reason never what we wanted to eat...made Ryan miss my cooking. :) We enjoyed the extra magic hours, although the whole park is not open so if your staying at a Disney resort for this option....make sure to check the Disney World website to see what attractions are open during the extra magic hours...I didn't know they had a listing until the last park we went to. So all in all, if we take a trip to Disney again, I would rather rent a condo or house through http://www.homeaway.com/ & rent a car. We had a great experience the last time we rented a condo and I really liked having a kitchen which is most important. Another site to check out for hotels, condos, etc is http://www.afvclub.com/...we used this before for Orlando and for Greece, great prices for military. I did this blog for some of my friends planning trips to Orlando and were asking about the things we did and places we stayed. We had a busy week. We went to Epcot, Disney Quest, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. We also did a Hot Air Balloon Ride. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
