    Yes, I saw it that weekend after you left! It was ready for the next guest and I was lucky to get a peak. It gave me some ideas for my place - we are constantly updating. It's so fun to see what everyone has to offer. It's like getting the 'Star Wars suite' or 'Princess room' at a hotel...

    I spent 2 weeks at Windsor Hills in January and another week in February. I really enjoy taking a walk each day around the community. Here are a couple photos from my walks. There is always some sort of wildlife and this time, they walked with me for a bit. The other photo is a sidewalk that...

    Every owner is different however I will say that this is the first time I've heard of this type of practice at WH. Most WH rentals will provide you with a quote and many you can find on their website if you don't want to 'inquire' personally. If their website is not listed on WHPR, google their...

    The largest homes and Windsor Hills are six bedrooms although some have converted to a seven bedroom. There are no nine bedrooms. Each home is individually owned so you have to check with the owner regarding there HVAC rules. The units will freeze up if they are set at too low of a...

    I was able to see Jedi Retreat between guests last week - it is AMAZING! I love all the different types of theming and that no two condos/townhomes/homes are alike. And there is something for everyone.

    The waterpark refurb is going well and on target. Only the slides are closed, the pool & spa are still open. The slides are expected to be open again on Saturday January 29th.

    I’m sorry to hear of your troubles booking but I think you are right and it was meant to be. There are so many unique townhomes. It will be great to have the extra space to let the toddlers nap!

    You pick up your wristbands at the clubhouse. Just one person needs to go into the office and let them know the address of the home you are staying in and how many guests need a wristband. They double check that you are registered in the system but in order to get through the front gate...

    Windsor Hills Information Station: Resort only Trip Reports

    I am an owner & we have a very active Windsor Hills Guests Facebook page which is where most of our guest questions happen. I’m happy to answer any questions here on the Disboards also! I didn’t stay offsite until 2019 and while i do stay at a Disney resort once in awhile, I’ve found it to be...

    Fireworks Cruises

    I was connected with a cast member after being on hold for three hours and 15 minutes. I was able to book a MK fireworks cruise for August 31. The cast member said that only grand Floridian was showing up for availability but that worked just fine for me. It took 15 minutes to make the...

    Fireworks Cruises

    I’m at 3 hours and five minutes on hold. It would be nice if they gave a better estimate than ‘over 2 hours.’ Good luck!

    Many owners will take reservations a day or two before if they have availability. They are also starting a 'last minute' booking thread on the face book page and many owners posted listings for the next day and what they have in February. You can also check the big sites to see who appears to...

    I don't know too much about the condo rules but there is a great resource (face book group) that connects Windsor Hills buyers & sellers (that is the name of the group) which is monitored by the WH HOA and has a lot of owner members for advice.

    The official site (endorsed by the HOA) is the Windsor Hills Private Rentals site. You typically get the lowest rate on that one because it is free for the owners to post there and is supported by the community HOA. There is another site that is managed by a previous owner that current owners...

    I'm leaving today after a week here and am so sad to go. I'm already looking at flights to book to come back. So I understand how you feel! Most guests aren't booking far in advance, with the average booking 1 month in advance. I've received many bookings only a week or two ahead. Your...

    So glad to hear you had fun! While I wasn't there for the holidays, many owners were and they said it was very busy - in a good way of course! I have visited several times, most recently in October, and while it isn't the busiest I've ever seen it, it was close to it. As Disney parks open up...

    I bought my WH townhome sight unseen (except for photos.) First time I walked in was after closing. I've looked at both the WP & WH townhomes and I think what is most key is checking out the community and then touring ANY of the available units that would look like yours (for a home, that might...

    Yes! You can receive deliveries from Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. They are able to access the community and drop packages at the front door. Note the United States Postal Service does not deliver there. Some homeowners have their mail forwarded to their primary address and if not, deliveries from...

    I like the dining establishments at Sunset Walk. There are more of them but these are the ones I've eaten at so far - Bento, BurgerFi, El Jefe, Ford's garage, and Yeoman's Cask & Lion. I also tried a couple spots in Celebration recently. It is a lovely area and atmosphere.

    I have never stayed at Vista Cay. I have stayed onsite at Universal but typically I'm at Windsor Hills, a Disney resort, or one of the 3 Hiltons near Disney Springs. One of the nice things about staying at WH or any vacation home is that you have a shared space for your traveling party only...
