Last weekend, WDW Today “podcasted” live from one of ALL STAR Vacation Homes premier Orlando vacation rentals in Acadia Estates. The show answered listener questions about Walt Disney World, vacation homes and traveling to Orlando.
ALL STAR was also featured on WDW Today’s regular Monday podcast. The show, entitled “Home Suite Home”, was hosted by Matt Hochberg of Studios Central & Mike Newell of Mouse World Radio and provided listeners with a first hand view of what it’s like to stay in an estate vacation home.
They also discussed the advantages of vacation homes over typical resorts, commenting on how close they were to Walt Disney World, how much they loved the private screened pool and home theatre and how much they saved eating in instead of at the parks.
Mike Newell enjoyed the Acadia Estates vacation home so much, he even stayed in for a whole day instead of going out to the parks like he had planned!
