To all reports, just a wee bit better than adequate. They are rent-subsidized, so it's half CMs, half low-life. Don't leave electronics visible in your car in their lot.

My BiL gave me a 'great' recipe for koi/carp.
"Place cleaned fish on a pine 1x4 a little longer than the fish.
Season with butter,lemon and spices of your choice.
Gently wrap fish and board in foil and place atop low coals.
Let cook for 10/15mins per side.
Remove foil,discard carp and eat the 1x4." :D:

That depends. Do you own a bulletproof vest? And are you comfortable sleeping in it, in the event of a ricochet?

Zazu and hhsrat summed up what I've heard about the place nicely.

PM me if you want information on the complex I live in. It's also rent subsidized but because of its location is quiet and has very few problems. I'm 20 minutes from West Clock by back roads so no traffic to speak of usually. I'm less than 5 minutes from two Publixes and 10 minutes from a huge shopping center with a Target, Lowes, Best Buy, and a number of other stores and restaurants. I'm also about 5 minutes from beautiful downtown Winter Garden and 3 by bike from the West Orange Trail, a nice hiking/biking trail.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Disney housing isn't bad. There's a lot of stories out there of people not liking it for whatever reason...such as doing something & getting themselves terminated. Always because that CP did something REALLY stupid.
