Vacation Home Community closest to Disney World

[rhbaum]

We are planning a trip to Disney World in October with most of our children and their families. There will probably be around 24 of us total. We are looking into a vacation home rental but I am wondering which of the vacation home communities are actually the closest to Disney World. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? We have been to Disney many times but have almost always stayed on-site so this will be a new thing for us. Any help is appreciated!!

We recently stayed at Windsor Hills for the first time and were surprised how easy the drive was. We have been researching Encore at Reunion for the next offsite trip - maybe 5 more minutes of a drive - and there are some HUGE vacation rental homes there.

Windsor Hills is my favorite - great location, lots of amenities, and beautiful houses up to 6 bedrooms.

Try IPG Florida Vacation Homes

For a party of 24 you will need 2 or 3 .... 5 bed Villas

A 5 bed will have a Max of 12 people

Split your party into Family Units for best results for everyone

We have also rented two 6 bedroom pool homes at Windsor Hills for our family of 22. Love it there. 5 minute drive from Disney arches . . . not sure if there are any closer than that, because it feels about as close as you can get.

I'd agree that Windsor Hills is a great location. We also stayed at Emerald Island villas. They were maybe a few minutes further than Windsor Hills but still very close.

A timeshare property, Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek, has 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom units and is next door to the Caribbean Beach resort.

Could be an option for a large group with multiple family units and needs.

If you want to stay together then i believe Reunion resort is the closest.
If you split up, Windsor hills or Formosa gardens are great locations that are close.
The combination of staying together AND staying close to WDW will be pricy.
So either splitting up or accepting longer distances is possibly the trick keeping prices reasonable.
If price is not an issue there are several properties in Reunion with many amenities ,some are even a destination in them selves.

The house we just reserved in Indian Creek mentioned that the same owner also has the house next door and a third on the same street. Just throwing that out there for consideration.
