About The Owners
Hi, we're Al & Jude. As you can probably guess, we love
Florida.

So much so, that we got married there back in 2001. This is
us on our wedding night. Sorry about that shirt!
That's when we first started to think about getting a place
over there.
We want you to have a great time in Florida.
We know we depend on our reputation for our success, so its
vital to us that we ensure you have a dream holiday, so you'll
tell all your friends about us.
We're here to help before, during or after
your holiday. We also have a top class management company on
hand, just a few minutes drive, or a phone call away.
We're really proud of our villa, and we're certain you'll love
staying there.
Here's a few things we love that you might
want to try. Difficult to narrow down as there's so much to go
at out there, but these are our favourites:
Al Recommends
OK, I'm the thrill seeker out of the two of
us, so these are my tips for getting your pulse racing. Hold
on tight!
Dueling Dragons (Islands Of Adventure)
You get two rollercoasters to choose from
here. Will it be Fire or Ice ?
Can't decide? Do one, then the other. Don't
forget to wave at the other coaster as you intertwine.
Rock'n'rollercoaster (MGM Studios)
Not only do you get your own stretch limo, but
as you blast through the dark, you get to sing along to
Aerosmith all the way. What could be better.
Spiderman (Islands Of Adventure)
Prepare to be dazzled by this one as you go
for a 3D ride with Spidey through the heights of the city. Oh
and there's one or two bad guys to take care of on the way.
Unmissable.
Montu (Busch Gardens)
Yeah, yeah. Another day, another coaster. But
this one is awesome.
And for those with an interest in archeology,
you get to scream your way through ancient Egypt by way of a
bonus. Which leads me to......
The Mummy (Universal Studios)
This is new, I had high hopes for it, and it
delivers! You know the story. You just can't keep a good mummy
down.
Tower Of Terror (MGM Studios)
Going down? You will be! But there's a lot
more to it than that. Since I last went on this, Disney claim
to have made it "worse".
Men In Black Alien Attack (Universal
Studios)
If it has anything other than the usual number
of eyes, limbs or heads, blast it back to where it came from.
Back To The Future (Universal Studios)
This has been around for a while now, but its
as impressive as it ever was.
Well if that Delorean is just sitting
there..............
Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom)
Its dark, you're in an open top jeep, its
dark, there are dinosaurs. Big ones! Did I mention its dark?
The Hulk (Islands Of Adventure)
And you'll be green too, when you get off. In
a nice way.
Terminator 3D (Universal Studios)
Arnie in 3D. Robots gone bad. And you get to
wear funny glasses.
Kraken (Seaworld)
I can see Shamu from up here. Aaagh. Sea
monster rollercoaster fun.
Mission To Mars (Epcot)
Not tried this one yet, but I've heard good
things. Let me know what its like.
There are so many more but I think I need a
lie down now. Here's Jude with some more civilised ideas.
Jude Recommends
Whilst Al's trying to hang on to his lunch,
here are a few great places to eat yours.
Cinderellas Castle (Magic Kingdom)
Book as soon as you get to the park in the
morning as tables are limited, but if you can get in this is
the place for an amazing meal.
Texas de Brazil
This is astounding food and great fun too. You
get a card with one red side and one green. Turn it to green
and waiter after waiter brings you meat of every variety
cooked in every way to tempt you with. Turn it to red and they
leave you alone. Then green again and they just keep on
coming.
Tutu Tango
Tapas of the highest standard in a fantastic
setting. Artists create whilst you eat, and you can buy their
artworks from the walls around you should you want an unusual
souvenir.
The Olive Garden
The Olive Garden is a chain of Italian style
restaurants with several branches within easy reach. Their
Chicken Pasta Alfredo is something else and they also do
takeaways (or carry out as it is known in the USA).
Red Lobster
Another chain which doesn't just serve
lobster!! Mighty big portions, be warned don't order a starter
and main course unless you haven't eaten for several
days!
Ponderosa, Perkins and Cracker Barrel
All the above are great for breakfast with the
pancakes at Cracker Barrel being particularly good accompanied
by individual bottles of maple syrup. Mmmm.
The Earl of Sandwich - Downtown Disney
A great selection of sandwiches of which the
tuna melt I can highly recommend. In fact on our last visit to
Florida, I made Alan take me to Downtown Disney just so that I
could have a tuna melt!
Ghiradelli Soda Fountain - Downtown Disney
They do the most amazing ice cream sundaes and
also have a chocolate shop right next door with some lovely
gift ideas.
Papa Johns
A chain of pizza places, there is one not far
from the villa who will deliver.
I could go on and on but it's making me feel
hungry!!!
Hope that gave you a little taster.
We've got a lot more suggestions to help you
have the kind of holiday that's perfect for you so why not
give us a call and let us help you plan your trip.
