info on villa location please.

[DisneyAli]

We are looking to go for our fourth time either next year or 2005.

I have been looking for a small villa with pool as there is only the two of us.

Using links from this site i have found a 2 bed villa with pool in Hidden Springs, Buenaventura lakes.

They have an onsite map but doesnt help a lot.

Could anyone advise me just how far away from Disney, airport, the 192 this is, and what the area is like.

Thanks alison.

Alison,

I haven't stayed there, but this is quite a long way from Disney (about half way between Orlando International airport and WDW on the 417 Central Florida Greeneway toll road). If you don't mind the journey, it's quite a straight forward drive in. I guess you'd need to use the Florida Turnpike to get to Universal.

I'd ask the villa owner for travelling times to WDW and Universal. Many of them are deliberately vague on their websites, but it's harder for them to avoid a direct question. Even so, I'd add 5 minutes to the times they tell you.

Alison, Buenaventura Lakes is further away from WDW, as mentioned in the previous post. Many of the tour operators brochures offer villas in that area but it's not one I'd choose. I like to be more central but that's just an individual choice. If you don't mind a little extra time in the car to get to parks, etc then go for it.

I'm not sure what that area is like for restaurants etc, maybe someone else can help with that?

Alison,

Have you tried www.evilla-rentals.com

We've used them for both our trips and got great value.

I notice they had 2-bedroom villas in Indian Wells and Windsor Palms....both are about 3-4 miles from Disney.


Hope this helps,
