Pictures of our All Star Vacation Home

Let me first start out by saying this was our first and definitely not last time staying off property. We called this townhouse 'home' the whole time we were there, and it was like our 2nd home. We loved loved loved it! When we go back to WDW, we will definitely be staying at Windsor Palms again, and I would probably work our vacation around this property's availability. I can't imagine staying at a different townhouse now! Looking at the pics is making me homesick

Our own private 10' x 10' pool:


The downstairs queen bedroom:


This frog was on the wall at the top of the stairs in the hallway:


The upstairs king bedroom (where I slept). It was all African themed and I fell in love with it right away. It was SO me!!


The cool b&w African pictures above my door. Down the hall is the full size washer/dryer and the boys room is at the end of the hall:


The African vase and giraffes on the wall in my room:


Even my master bathroom had an African theme:


The other part of my master bath:


The boys twin bedroom:


The mural on the wall in the boys room:


A surfboard nailed to the wall and the suspended t.v. in the boys room:


The other side of the boys bedroom. There was a tiki statue in each corner:


Our kitchen. I loved the color scheme: Lime green, yellow and purple


The cute frog decorations above the microwave:


More kitchen. Man, I wish we were still there


The wine cabinet in the kitchen:


From the kitchen looking at the foyer. The queen bedroom and downstairs bath are on the left:


The dining area right off the living room:


Looking out the living room sliding doors onto the deck and pool area:


The deck chairs outside. There's a child safety screen between the deck chairs and the pool (and also an alarm on the sliding glass door)


The cutest martini chairs at the bar looking into the kitchen:


Our living area:


My favorite lamps:


The t.v. area. It had surround sound (altho we never got it to work), a DVD player, VCR, and a PS2!

The place looks beautiful. I liked the colors but I'm deathly afraid of frogs. How long did it take you to get to the parks?

OMG, Tina... no wonder you are so sad to be home after this last vacation! The place looks very comfortable! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. How long did it take you to drive from your townhouse to WDW?

It looks really beautiful, I went to the website and looked around but found myself a little confused with all the properties and choices. How did you decide which one to stay at and how far were you from the parks?

Very I can see why you loved it there!

I love the African king room. And the surf room just seems to fit too! And what about that kitchen? The bar stools really do match the decor! I think those colors could grow on me.

Great find!

It took us less than 10 min. to get from our home to DHS. Epcot was just a bit further and then MK and AK were a little further.
