Planning a Disney vacation is exciting, but one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is where to stay. Most families immediately think of hotels, but in Orlando, vacation rentals have quickly become the preferred choice — especially for groups visiting Walt Disney World.
Here’s why choosing a vacation rental near Disney often beats staying in a hotel.
1. More Space for Families and Groups
Hotel rooms can feel cramped, especially when you’re traveling with kids or extended family. Vacation rentals offer multiple bedrooms, living areas, and even private game rooms or theaters. Everyone has their own space to relax, while still staying under one roof.
2. Private Pools and Resort Amenities
One of the best perks of Orlando vacation homes is the private pool and spa that come with most villas. Instead of sharing a crowded hotel pool, you get the privacy and convenience of your own. Plus, many resorts also include amenities like waterparks, lazy rivers, fitness centers, and sports courts — so you enjoy the best of both worlds.
3. Cost Savings (Especially for Large Groups)
When you factor in the cost of multiple hotel rooms, parking fees, and dining out for every meal, hotels get expensive quickly. A vacation rental is often more affordable per person, since everyone can share the cost of one villa. Having a kitchen also means you can save by cooking some meals instead of relying solely on restaurants.
4. Full Kitchens for Convenience
Disney food is fun, but it adds up. Vacation rentals give you a fully stocked kitchen where you can make breakfast before the parks or enjoy a late-night snack without extra cost. It’s not just budget-friendly — it’s family-friendly.
5. Flexibility and Comfort
Unlike hotels, vacation rentals give you the freedom to spread out, do laundry, grill outside, or have movie nights in your own theater room. It feels like a home away from home, making longer stays much more comfortable.
6. Great for Multi-Family Vacations
Disney trips are often shared experiences — grandparents, cousins, and friends joining in. Instead of booking several separate hotel rooms, a vacation rental keeps everyone together in one home, making it easier to coordinate and create memories.
7. Close to Disney (Without the Price Tag)
Vacation rentals in communities like Windsor Island, ChampionsGate, and Encore Resort are just minutes from Walt Disney World. You get the same convenient location as nearby hotels, but with far more amenities and space for the price.
Hotels may offer a bed and a pool, but vacation rentals provide an entire home — with privacy, flexibility, and value that hotels simply can’t match. For families and groups planning a Disney trip, vacation rentals are the clear winner.
