Orlando Vacation Homes

[dolphindan1]

Hi guys and gals...We are planning a mid december trip to December. Well we are taking my MIL and SIL and her husband plus my wife and 2 boys. We have decided that Disney resorts are way out of the extended families budget. My family always stays on site except for one trip several years ago. We stayed in a vacation home. It was in a gated sudivision off of hwy 192 behind the wal mart down a little road between wal-mart and Medevil times....We loved every minute but for the life of me I cant remember who we booked thru or anything..I remeber it was a great deal. Anyway we want to do the same thing. That way my MIL who will not want to tour every park will have a nice place to stay and the SIL can do what they can afford....we are going for tentavily Dec 9th through 19th if we can work it out. We want the same type conditions at least 4 bedrooms pool and spa....Can someone recommend a company or anything to check out....I have done an online rquest but am getting swamped with e-mails....thanks in advance for your help

This can be a great way to go. The information can a little overwhelming. I always go direct from the owners as it usually saves us money. I'd do some research on this site as to the various options. Here are some of the sites I like to go through.

www.orlandovillas.com

I also like vrbo.com. You may also want to check out the location of the villa communities by checking out this map:

Hey....thanks for the help....one follow up question...I migt should post this as a seperate thread on another board but I will see what happens...Sorry Mods...LOL

Since we are staying offsite. Who should I buy tickets through...My SIL and her husband are military....We get them to get our tickets most of the time...Is that our best bet?...Or do I use Mapleleaf or someone else?...again thanks for the help and sorry if I messed up Mods

We like to have our tickets prior to leaving for our vacation. We usually purchase ours through the link in the Mousesavers newletter. If you don't already get the newsletter, go to Mousesavers.com and sign up. The newsletter comes on the 15th of each month. There are links to ticketmania and mapleleaf with discounts for the newletter readers. They might not look like discounts right off, but the prices include taxes already and usually shipping so they are less expensive than purchasing from Disney direct. I don't know how much of a discount your military relatives get but it wouldn't hurt to compare prices.
