A Walk to Remember: We're here!

FINALLY! All the planning and prep that went into this Disney trip, and we are HERE! We opted to save a TON of money and stayed offsite. Thanks to a friend of my husbands, we were able to get a really nice condo for LESS than it would have cost us for one night at a Disney Value Resort... ANY of them. Though I really, really, really wanted to stay on property, we couldn't pass up such a good deal. Our bank account is very thankful. The only downfall to this was that we would have to pay to park at Disney every day. This, however, turned out not to be such a bad thing considering how high the crowd levels were.

We pulled into the condo's office parkinglot with a very sleepy crew. The 'resort' that we were staying in was called Vacation Village at Parkway. The resort was nice, and the staff was also nice, though there is a huge push to become a timeshare member. We didn't really have the time, nor did we really want to give the time to listen to the sales pitch. We were already full to the gills with Disney plans. Not much time for anything else..

So, the Vacation Village at Parkway was a bang for the buck. No doubt about that. We only hit one of the pools (the first day- upon arrival), and never were able to take advantage of the many planned activities they offered.. and there were a lot. The condo itself, well we actually had two adjoining condos.. were clean and nice. Not luxurious, but very nice even so. Here are a few pictures:
