What Disney Give Back.

When researching the Walt Disney Company benevolent approach I was moved as to how much Disney gives back to the world. 
There are many projects worldwide whether it be supporting conservation and wildlife, providing relief in conservation emergencies. aiding families in communities all around the world, donating to children's hospitals, supporting education establishments to promote creative, imaginary and physical projects, encouraging people to volunteer, getting people together in community local projects to help the environment, such as planting trees, (I myself am proud to say that I took part in a tree planting event). The list seems endless of what Disney fund, promote and encourage. Their ethics and morals are to be commended.
For local Central Florida projects go to the 'Walt Disney World in the Community' page on Facebook.

Why stay in a Vacation Home Rental near the Theme Parks in Orlando Florida?

From personal experience we found renting a house near Kissimmee close to the theme parks was a great solution for all our family's needs. 
The independence, space and luxury, adds to the vacation experience.
There are plenty of supermarkets close by to accommodate all your self catering needs. All home comforts have been thought off, with added luxury in most cases. fully equipped kitchens, washing machine and drier, bathroom and bed linen, TV, and quite often a small pool. 
We hired a car, which is recommended if staying off sight away from the theme parks own transport options.
There are many Vacation homes to choose from, for added security some can be rented that are in a gated community with added community perks such as swimming pool, gym etc.

Southern Cooking from the Dixieland Diner Food Truck.

Just a quick mention about a food truck I came across called the Dixieland Diner, it made me hungry reading the reviews on 'Yelp' (which were all very good) and the menu looks superb if you want Cajun and Southern food.
The food truck serves the Central Florida Area and can be found on Facebook and Twitter for more information and schedule.
