Hi Fred,
Our time in Florida was wonderful.  Your condo was perfect.  It is maintained very well.  We didn't need anything.  I will tell our friends about it.  Perhaps in the future we can rent it again. It would be great to be able to spend more time in Florida during the wintertime. Thank you again for allowing us to stay at Windsor Hills - IT WAS GREAT!

11/14/08
Dear Fred,
Thank you for letting us stay at your Safari condo. My kids did not want to leave. I will post a positive review on DisBoards.com for you.

Hi Fred,
The vacation was wonderful! Too short if you ask me. We bought a 6-day Disney park pass and didn't get to use all our days so we'll be coming back again! The condo was beautiful! It was just as depicted in the photos and very clean. We were impressed with the condo and the resort as a whole. When we first pulled up the main driveway, I thought we were in the wrong place, it was so beautiful. The children enjoyed the pool so much...it was truly a wonderful experience!

10/01/08
Hi Fred,
We truly enjoyed the condo, it was just what we needed to have everyone comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was great too. We spent 2 days at Magic Kingdom, 1 day at Hollywood Studios, 1-1/2 days at Epcot and 1 day at Discovery Cove. My husband and I and my oldest son did the dolphin swim there and everyone really enjoyed it. We also did the Royal Table breakfast and breakfast at Chef Mickeys too. Thanks again for all of your easy directions and helpful hints. If we are lucky enough to get back that way we will call you again.

Hi, Fred!
We had a great time in the condo and the weather was only rainy for two day (and only part of the day at that so it didn't really affect us). Your condo is lovely - one of the nicest we've stayed in (and we've stayed at many in the Orlando area and a few in Windsor Hills but not through Oasis). You really do think of everything that a person would need during their stay - never had such a well-equipped kitchen! We would definitely like to come back - as a matter of fact, we'll be sending you a form for August 8th - August 15th 2009 for Mickey's Clubhouse - we liked it so much we want our kids and grandkids to stay with us next year!


09/21/08
Fred,
We loved it! Our son had a great time- it was his first visit to Disney. We went to the Animal Kingdom, Epcot, & The Magic Kingdom. We were able to rest a couple of days in between at the pool. We all loved the way the condo was decorated. It really put our son in the spirit when we first arrived. Thank you so much. We could not have stayed at a better place. We hope to do it again next year. Take care.

Hi Fred,
Thanks for asking, everything was wonderful and the late checkout was a huge relief......we also timed Fay perfectly! We really enjoyed our stay. I'll make sure to contact you on our next vacation to Orlando. 

08/04/08
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.  The directions to the condo were clear and the suggestions were helpful.  I liked the door code alot better than a key.

 

07/26/08
Hi Fred and Joanne, 
We had a wonderful time in The States and your condo! We loved the location, decoration and of course the resort. It feels safe to know there is someone at the gate 24/7. We spent a lot of time in Disney World (Blizzard Beach and the Theme Parks). We had a little problem with one of the toilets. After we called, it was fixed within the hour, EXCELLENT! We will definitely return to either this condo or your other one!

07/02/08
Hi Fred!
Just got back yesterday! Your condo is absolutely beautiful!!! We loved staying there and would definitely love to stay there again. Renting a condo is sooo much better than a hotel. And with a family of 5, that's definitely the way to go. We will definitely recommend your condo to our friends. thank you!

07/01/08
We had a wonderful time ! I kept the family going from morning until night to fit in everything. We had pizza at Flippers one night and that was the best pizza. We all loved it even though it was not the prettiest of atmosphere. And lastly the rain thing every day was hard to get used to. We got everything in though. Our favorite dinner was at 'Ohana at the Polynesian resort. The bread pudding dessert was to die for! If you haven't been you must go. I would be ready to go back in a heartbeat but my husband is Disneyed out for awhile. The lines were long but the fastpass was a lifesaver. And thank you for the tip on the back way on getting to the parks. Thank you again for letting us stay with you- I would highly recommend for all of your younger guests to take part in the Bippity Boppity Boutique at Downtown Disney or where we did at Cinderella's castle. My 8 yr old granddaughter was treated like a princess with her hair, make-up and nails. Resv. have to made very early though. Sorry I have went on and on. I could name a hundred more things that were a blast. You are so lucky to have a such a nice place to stay.

06/17/08
Hi Fred,
Couldn't have been nicer!! Your place is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us. The other family we went with were also very impressed. You were so thorough with your instructions---they were very helpful! Glad we found you and your condo!

05/28/08
Hello Fred, 
Everything was great. It was nice to stay in one of your families condos again. All was as we were expecting and very nice. Thank for letting us have a late checkout... the extra 2 hours was incredible helpful after all those late nights having too much fun. We'll be calling you guys again for our next trip and I also may have some friends that may give you a call.

05/24/08
Hi Fred, We did Cypress Gardens, Kennedy Space Center, Universal, Disney, all four parks again and again. We also did, The Pirates of the Caribbean dinner show, breakfast with Mickey, lunch with Chip and Dale, breakfast with Mary Poppins. I was not sure about the Pirate dinner, wasn't sure what we were getting into, but we had a wonderful time. It was a dinner with every family member involved. Our food was great, more then enough and the entertainment was fast moving and fun. Would recommend to anyone.T he breakfasts with Disney characters is really a nice way to go, of course we had a ball. Then there was this condo. It was so fun knowing where we were headed, knowing what to expect and not be worried about how to get there and would it be an OK place. We have been to a few, not so good places. That was an extra I had not counted on. We were very glad for your directions. We brought less clothes, because we had a washing machine and drier and we went out to eat and had left overs and brought them home for another day, as we found there was always more then enough food where ever we went. We did 2 small loads of personal clothes and washed our towels,s heets and ran the dish washer before we left and everything worked great. These little things made a difference. Even a vacuum, which we did use once. We also found time to use the pool area.We loved our stay at the Safari and I know we will come back again. Thank you so much for being such great hosts.

05/10/08
Everything was perfect...I wish we could have stayed longer. Your condo was better then what we expected, thank you so much for allowing us to stay there....If you can get a seat sale we will be back in the early fall.....

05/02/08
Hi Fred,
We had a wonderful time in Florida. The condo was better than we expected. The kids loved it. We especially loved the pool. It was nice to see that it was warm. Again, thank you so much for letting us use your home.

04/25/08
Hi Fred,
Thanks for your message. We had a great time and your condo was spot on. We all walked in and went WOW! You have got it just right. We enjoyed all the facilities. The pool area was also excellent. We are pleased to be able to say this and have no hesitation in recommending your condo to others. We have also left a note in your guests book.

03/26/08
Hi Fred,
Disney was packed and a bit stressful as it was Spring Break but the condo was gorgeous. We loved it and didn't want to leave! Thanks so much for everything.

03/13/08
Hi Fred,
We loved the condo and we are ready to book for next year!

03/02/08
Hi Fred. Great vacation, wonderful condo. Would be happy to provide an endorsement for your website regarding the entire experience anytime! Could have been a bit hotter in Florida, but not bad at all! We are planning to make this an annual event. We think we will book the Clubhouse if that is the case as my parents and sister/family want to come too. We will be in touch. Thanks for everything. It was great.

02/22/08
Dear Fred, Thank you so much for the use of the condo. Everything was great. Your welcome packet and helpful tips were very useful. We had a wonderful time at Disney. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We took great pictures. My kids loved the extra amenities such as the play station. She is 5 and it was her first time playing video games and my son loved the stuffed animals. I have already recommended the place. Thank you again. We hope to visit again some day.

02/02/08
We had a wonderful vacation! It was everything I was hoping for and more. The condo was beautiful, very clean and well designed, as the pictures showed. Windsor Hills is a nice location, the pool is fantastic, better than the pictures. The extras like the remote control fans and keyless entry are a nice touch. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend your location(s) to anyone.

01/28/08
Hi Fred - Thanks for the email. Our vacation was great - and your place was perfect. It was great to stay there - and I will definitely let everyone know about it and hope to be able to stay there again. Even before I stayed with you, I had referred an acquaintance to you/... and they got to stay there before we even went just before Christmas, and she said it was great!). Thanks again for everything.

01/15/08
We had a great time. Really enjoyed your "Mickey's Safari". If you remember the specifics about my reservation, we spent 3 days at Mickey's Safari then 7 at another condo in Windsor Hills. Yours was smaller but much more pleasant, seeming much better kept.

01/13/08
My husband and I are still talking about your wonderful condo. We have stayed at many others but none remain in our minds like Mickey's Safari. Thank you Fred for allowing our family to share your home. We are already planning our next year's trip and will be in touch soon.

01/11/08
It was so nice to get away to such a great place. We really did love it, and it made me want to redecorate my house! You will definitely be hearing from us again, but maybe next time it will be in your new Clubhouse. Our little girl was fascinated by all of your decorations, as were the rest of us. Thanks again for everything and being so wonderful to deal with throughout the process and for your help in planning our trip, it was a pleasure and I am telling everyone about the place.

12/29/07
Yes... the condo was fabulous! We really enjoyed our stay! I loved the resort, and as I think I mentioned earlier, we are coming back again in February with a large group. We had hoped to rent Mickey's Clubhouse, but it was already sold out. :( Anyway, you can guarantee that we will be back again!

12/28/07
We have been to Disney many times and absolutely loved Mickey's Safari. The condo theming goes above and beyond that which we have seen in other condos and gave our children the sense of staying onsite. We can't wait to return to it!

12/22/07
First, our vacation was WONDERFUL! We had a great time and the condo was supberb. It was so much better than staying in a hotel with a 4 year old. Having a bedroom for her made all the difference in the world. She LOVED the condo and especially all the pictures and stuffed animals, she cannot stop talking about it. You have an absolutely wonderful place and if and when we make it back, we will be contacting you again.

12/04/07
The vacation and condo were both great. We look forward to staying with you in the future. Thanks

11/06/07
Your Condo was absolutely wonderful, I have suggested it to a few of my friends. We would not hesitate to make contact with you again. We truly enjoyed our stay in florida as well as the parks. Many thanks

10/30/07
Your condo was everything we had expected and more. If we do have a complaint it was that we could not get our children to leave when it was time to go. Thank you Fred for being so nice to work with, especially when we had a last minute change of plans. We are already looking forward to our next 'Mickey' safari.

10/23/07
Hi Fred. We had a great time at Disney and your place was the perfect place to come back to at the end of each day! Our
daughter especially liked the Disney Song DVD we found. Surprisingly, the draw of going to "Mickey's Safari" was enough to get her out of the parks each day without tears... she had something to look forward to! Thanks again. We look forward to staying at your Mickey Clubhouse in December!

07/05/07
We are home and very tired... Vacation was good... condo was good - door code worked perfectly...I just wish we had more time to spend there, as well as time for the amenities. The boys really liked the pool the few times we went. We loved the
condo... the boys loved their rooms. We did take your advice and go to Universal City Walk and have dinner and see a movie. We also found the Publix you suggested. Thanks so much for allowing us to use your place for the week. Hopefully we can come back and bring family members. The house on your website looks perfect for a bigger group. I will be sure to pass on your information to friends and family. Hopefully everything was o.k. for your housekeeper when we left... we weren't there a whole lot during the week... I started the dishwasher, put in the load of towels, piled the bed linens on the washer and took out the trash. Thanks also for making the arrangements for our place to stay easy. It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

06/30/07
Hi Fred, We had a wonderful time! I wanted to let you know we would like to rent the condo again. We are trying to come up with a date for next year. Probably in June. Could you please keep our paper work and as soon as we decide I will let you know. Thank you again for allowing us to use your home away from home!!

06/27/07
The condo was beautiful and we loved feeling like we were on disney property. The safari-theme was excellent! And your
tiles in the condo looked gorgeous. It was awesome and we really enjoyed the condo.

06/08/07
We were so happy with Mickey's Safari I was going to email you on the 2nd day but we were having too much fun! The girls LOVED having their own bedrooms with TV's, DVD's and stuffed animals. They couldn't decide which room they liked better so they kept switching each night. You guys thought of EVERYTHING! We did not need for anything (except toilet paper). :) And it was beautifully decorated. When we got home I realized just how bare my walls are. Also, the tips you added, especially the back entrance off Sherberth Ave was excellent. We felt we were in on a secret. I checked out your website when we got home and saw that you added one of the homes in Windsor Hills to your rentals. Very nice to have so many options. I could go on and on and on but I'm sure you already know how perfect it is. Actually, my husband and I were so impressed with how seamless everything was that we are very interested in setting up a vacation condo just like Mickey's Safari and the others you have. Did you do all of that yourself (website, maintenance, cleaning, etc) or do you work with a company that helps set everything up? One more thing.......now we are spoiled and don't think we'll ever be able to stay in a "room" again, hence why we are thinking of buying. Thanks again Fred & Joanne, it was a great pleasure having a "home" while on vacation and having it be more affordable than a hotel room was the icing on the cake.

05/27/07
I just wanted to thank you very much for the use of your lovely condo. Everything worked out well. The kids really loved
playing with the stuffed animals and the games. I really don't have a single complaint. Once again, thank you. Florida was
great. We all had a good time.

05/13/07
We really enjoyed your condo a lot! It was the perfect size for a family of 4. My 7-yr old daughter stayed in the room with the white bedspread with Mickey’s. She loved it. Our 1 yr old boy stayed in the crib in the room with the twin beds. That worked out fine. He loved the little lamp with the plane on it. We loved the pool area and the close vicinity to WDW. We loved the Mickey decorations and the Playstation. We used the pool noodles, high chair, grocery cart. I also liked that you had a couple of baby sippie cups and children’s plates, etc. All of these items made the stay so much easier. All in all it
was a great stay and we are recommending it to my brother and his family for their future trip. Thank you so much! We would have written more in the journal, but were in a hurry to get packed and out the door.

05/07/07
The Condo was very nice and yes we had a great time, our seven year old loved the play station. We hope to use it again.
Thank you very much.

05/03/07
Everything was just great. We had a wonderful time both in the parks and at the condo

05/01/07
Hello Fred. Everything worked out very well… we were able to get the groceries into the condo in the morning. We had a very good and relaxing time… just what the doctor ordered. We also went to 4 theme parks on our trip: Disney’s Epcot – Soarin’ was great (a real mind bender) and Fast Trax was fun, but everything else was just O.K…. Typhoon Lagoon – pretty enjoyable… my swimming goggles got sucked off my head by the wave pool 3 times until I finally lost them for good. Universal studios – pretty good as well… we got on all the coasters – dueling dragons, the hulk, the unicorn… Spider man was good… also quite enjoyed 4D Shrek Disney’s Animal Kingdom – my personal favorite… the Mt. Everest coaster was fun and the line was so small (Tuesday at about 5:00 pm) we went on it 3 times… I also thought the bird show was fantastic and the little coaster in Dino park was a real laugh. The condo was quite nice. I think you guys love animals.

04/03/07
The house looks GREAT!!!!!! I will be definitely working on getting a group trip together. When do you think you would be
ready? I am sure we won’t be back for little while anyway. We are still recovering…..we didn’t do much resting. We LOVE the parks and we stay ALL day with the three girls, mind you. Exhausting…..anyway, I have already referred you to my Aunt’s sister in law (on her husbands side) so hopefully she will be calling you soon. Thanks and keep me posted on the house. I have LOTS of friends that are always interested in going to Disney

03/27/07
OH Yes, It was outstanding. You have a beautiful place and it makes you feel right at home. We took you advice about smokey bones and also had a wonderful dinner. Hope maybe one day we can rent again. Thanks

03/20/07
Hi Fred, I meant to e-mail you sooner--the condo was absolutely great! I think I need a vacation from this vacation after
travelling w/2 little kids--but we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Your suggestions and directions to/from Disney were impeccable, and everything we needed was already at Mickey's Safari (including my daughter's favored sippy cup brand!). Getting the kids to sleep was so much easier since they each had their own room, and my husband enjoyed the fitness room several times. We've pretty much decided that we're never staying in a hotel room again!

03/19/07
We visited Mickey's Safari on 2/13/07 - 2/22/07. Everything in the condo was clean and well prepared. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. You have created a comfortable place to retreat after a very long day at the parks. Thank you for all the extras! The location is perfect and the short cuts as well as helpful tips were greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend your place to anyone visiting Disney. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We will be back

02/12/07
Hi Fred. We had a GREAT vacation. The weather was beautiful and the condo was very nice. It worked out well for our
family. Thank you so much

01/08/07
Fred, Thanks. We have had a great time. We were just saying how we wish that we would have stayed here the whole time. We spent the first three nights at Shades of Green on site. Anyway, we really enjoyed staying here and thought you should know - we think you have wonderful taste. It was very pleasant here. Thank you,

12/17/06
Hi Fred, We had a great time! I wish I had a video of my 4 year old when we first went in. She was in awe of all of the
decorations LOL. We were so pleased with everything - the location, the furnishings, decor, extras you have like the stuffed animals and DVDs, etc. It really felt like we were going 'home' every evening. I know we will be returning in the future, I can't imagine any other place being better! It looks like you are already booked for the same week next year but we are considering mid November or earlier in December so we aren't getting back so close to Christmas.

11/30/06
Hi Fred, Thanks again we really enjoyed it. We had learned about the condo from a friend whose families had stayed at all
three of your condos two weeks before we did. We have definitely showed our vacation pictures to anyone at work who has asked. A co worker has already booked from your daughter next March. Hopefully we can send more referrals your way.

11/20/06
I would like to thank you once again for sharing your wonderful condo with our family. We have bragged so much since we have gotten back that I have given quite a few people your website and info. My family is pretty much a walking billboard for "Mickey's Condo." We will definitely check to see if Mickey's Safari is available on our next vacation to Disney
World.Thanks,

11/19/06
Hi Fred,Thanks for the update and reminder of our returning guest discount. I have raved to many people about your condo and I personally wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. I will definitely look at your availability calendar. I *always* have an urge to return to WDW.

11/19/06
I'm sure the next time we come to Disney we will be staying at your place! We absolutely loved it. I wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely amazing time at your condo. Even with the tropical depression coming through while we were there, we made the best of it. I've passed your website on to all my friends who are planning a disney trip. Maybe in a few years we'll get to go again as a family of 5 this time!!!!

11/18/06
Fred, We had a great time, thanks! Your place is beautiful and had everything we needed. So close to everything, too! I'm
sorry to say we never had time to make use of the pool, etc. on the premises, but we definitely kept busy. I hope everything was found to be in order. We tried very hard to make sure we left things the way they were found. :) Thank you, again, for opening your home to us. We hope to be back someday!

11/12/07
Hi Fred, The vacation was great! The condo was beautiful, it was perfect for us. We have three boys so they enjoyed the TVs in their rooms, the playstation games and the movies. We spent one day at the condo laying around the pool just relaxing. Thanks again for everything, we would definitely recommend to anyone we know who is going in the future.

11/07/06
Hi Fred, It was wonderful. We really enjoyed the condo. You guys did a wonderful job decorating. We loved everything. The kids especially liked all of the stuffed animals. It was convenient to the parks and the fireworks at night were the best. I don't think I'll ever stay in another Disney hotel again. My son, who does not like cramped spaces, is usually ready to go home by the second day. He never once asked, "When are we leaving?" He was sad to leave his "mickey condo". Whenever we go back to Disney, we will certainly check to see if you have anything available. There was only one problem....leaving. Thank you so much.

10/30/06
Fred, Our family had a wonderful vacation and created many happy memories. Thank you for opening up your condo to guests. The location to the parks was superb and the condo was comfortable and well appointed. We appreciated being able to come back to the condos from a long day of walking and sightseeing and just being able to relax – whether on the screened in deck or down by the great pool. My in-laws stayed in your condo and just loved it. We also enjoyed the fact that the condos were in close proximity to those we rented from your daughter, Jennifer. I would highly recommend you to anyone – and actually have! Next week, a co-worker of mine is renting your condo and they are so excited. When I returned to work today, I told her what great accommodations you have and what a great facility Windsor Hills is. When we plan to visit again – we will definitely choose your condo. Thank you for helping make our Disney dreams come true!

06/24/06
Hi Fred, Yes, we did receive the monkey earlier this week. I can't thank you enough. You should have seen the look on her
face! She had no idea that I had contacted you and that you had located her monkey. She was thrilled. THank you so much for taking the time to do all that you did. We appreciate it.

06/24/06
Hi Fred, Our family had an awesome time at your condo! The week flew by and we were sad to have to leave. The condo was perfect!! It was very comfortable... Our kids loved having the comforts of home... computer & playstation ... The pool and clubhouse were great too! We will definitely keep your place bookmarked and consider it again when we make our way to Orlando again. And we will definitely recommend it to our friends! If you have an email list to advertise any specials you might run, please add us. Thanks again.
