Our Resort: Tree People Kingdom

When I booked our resort, I was unsure if it would look as good as it did in the pictures.  Fortunately, i was good to go, as the Old Key West Resort at Disney was a delightful and quiet resort with a great ambiance.

We asked for a third floor condo and that's what we got.  As you can see from the pictures I posted yesterday, it was like being in a tree house.  I have decided that drinking red wine in a tree house is a delightful job.  I am now officially applying for all positions that require that skill and can be reached here...

The front of the condo.  All easter egg colours and gingerbread trim.

 

the pool nearby.  we never used it.  we would go to the parks and then return to the tree house for the afternoon....

I was mesmerized by the grasses.  I grow these at home and to see them growing in a lovely garden made me quite wistful.

 Bucolic streets, the quiet only marred now and then by gangs of grandparents and their children and grandchildren, who roamed the neighbourhood with balloons and strollers and cotton candy.  Late at night, the bribing to the get them to sleep would begin.

Our tree house overlooked a canal, home to ducks and ibis and the odd heron....

And while it was early spring, the azalea was in bloom.  sigh....

Every day I watched flocks of these fellows go up and down the canal.  They were just lovely...

There are no indoor pictures, since by the time I thought of it, the inside of the condo, was quite messy, what with us becoming tree people and all....However the pictures on Disney's web site are accurate and can be trusted!

The last night we were there, the kids got to overhear a "domestic" (No, not ours!) - a couple in the room next door were having a heated discussion on the balcony that was adjacent to our living room.  There was a lot of "I'm just trying to understand" and "I guess I just don't understand human nature" and some reference to something that occurred "after the electric parade in the magic kingdom" during the previous year.    This went on for a good hour until dear son shocked them by going next door and telling them that he had to get to sleep and could they please quiet down....  Tree people are not to be kept awake by current or past grievances....

The resort was lovely enough that it would be worth it to simply visit there and skip the parks if you'd like....

But not the tree people... they went daily... and this leads to my next post called "When Good People Walk too far and for too long..."

Have an awesome Sunday and stay safe out there!
