i am also planning our first offsite trip and would love some advise of houses to consider.

I highly recommend Windsor Hills for your off site stay. It's just a beautiful resort.

Try www.windsorhillsprivaterentals.com for an available property for your dates.

Feel free to private message me for a referral for a villa. We have stayed at a few and can offer some insight.

We're a large family (2 adults, 4 kids, and my mom usually travels with us). Depending on the number of people traveling, we've stayed both on-site and off-site and like both for different reasons. Sometimes my sister and her family travel with us too which adds another 5 people into the mix.

When staying off-site I've never missed being in the Disney "bubble." We stay in Disney themed homes and love having the full kitchen, washer/dryer, private pool, and plenty of room to spread out (last home we rented was a 5 bdr/3 ba). I found driving to the parks took less time than waiting for Disney transportation. I also found that even with renting a car, paying for gas and parking, with what we saved on rooms and food (we weren't locked into eating every meal on-property) we still saved money.

OP I hope you have a great trip and enjoy your off-site stay.

This year we did a split stay at Pop Century and a vacation home. The house was nice and roomy and within 20 minutes of WDW. The teenagers loved it, but the 10 year old and I prefer Pop Century for the interaction of people at the pool and hotel. We have the whole summer for peace and quiet! lol
