I hate to be negative because it's such a wonderful thing to be picked for free home upgrades but....that yard is hideous! I hope they really love it though. Perhaps I'm too traditional...

I agree. The pool is nice---I would rip up the "winter wonderland" stuff as soon as possible though if I owned the home an put down "regular" pavers. I love the outdoor areas/pools of the WDW resort hotels(gazebos, waterfalls, gorgeous flowers, outdoor fire pits, etc) and would love to replicate those in my backyard. However, I would not want the "Blizzard Beach" theme
