They spent last Christmas with ALL STAR Vacation Homes and enjoyed the space and relaxation their Disney area vacation home provided.
“After driving over a thousand miles with nine kids, the last thing all 13 of us wanted to do was cram ourselves into 3 or 4 hotel rooms,” Mr. Green declared. “Even Santa found our stockings hung on the entertainment center and left presents under our decorated ficus tree!”
