Staying at Encantada Resort right now!

[aquaticmom]

We are currently staying in a 4 bedroom, 3 bath with a nice sized private pool at Encantada resort right now. The resort is very nice. There are two community pools, one zero entry. There is also a large community hot tub, a playground and a catch and release pond. I paid less than $115 a night which includes taxes and cleaning fee. With the new Toll road - 429 ($1) it takes us about 10 -15 minutes to be in the Magic Kingdom parking lot! We have been here for 5 days, it's really, really quiet here. Any questions, I will try to answer them for you.

Hi there! I just booked a 4 bedroom with private pool there for October. I wondered if you can give me any more details or advice. Even small details like the nearest grocery store and things like that would be helpful. This is my family's first trip to Disney and we are pretty clueless. I tried to PM you but apparently I'm not allowed yet since I'm new to these boards. Thanks!

I've stayed there twice. As with any villa, each is individually owned and level of maintence will vary. Moving on to the particulars.....there are two public pools which are fairly large. The game room is a little on the small side but it did have a pool table and a few arcade games. There was about 4 or 5 computers in the internet cafe. The property is nicely landscaped. It was relatively quiet when were there and we were there during the summer on both visits. It is gated but the gate did remain open during the day. I'm not good with roads or directions but I do know that we never took a toll road and we were at disney in about 5 minutes. As for nearby stores, there's a ton. There's a McDonalds right at the corner of the property. There are several Walgreens nearby. There were 2 Publix's less than 2 minutes from the property. I can't remember the names of other resturants within the area, as we didn't eat at any of them. I like to do Disney meals but like the room and price of private villas. That's about it. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I think you'll love it, as long as your villa is up to par.

Thanks so much for your reply - I really appreciate the info. It's good to hear from someone who stayed there (and twice even!). It sounds great!

Any specific recommendations for 4 bedroom townhouses in Encantada?

We stayed in one villa and another family traveling with us stayed in the other. They both were very nice and extremely reasonably priced.
