Disney Vacation Homes - How Close are they to all the attractions

One of the biggest questions I am asked every day is how close are the Disney World vacation homes to all the attractions in Orlando. Below you will see the approximate distances of our private pool homes to the attractions:

1. Disney World- Almost all of our vacation homes are located in Kissimmee, Florida, which is right next to Disney World. Most of our homes are within 15 Minutes to Disney World and some of our homes are as close a 2 miles to Disney World. It really depends on which sub-division you choose.

2. Universal Studios Orlando- Most of our vacation homes are within 22 minutes to Universal Studios. Keep in mind, Universal Studios is located in Orange County which does not allow short term vacation home rentals, so all the vacation homes have to be located in Kissimmee. It is really easy to get to Universal Studios from all our homes since it is a straight shot down 1-4.

3. Sea World Orlando- Sea World sits directly between Universal Studios and Disney World so it should take you 17 minutes to get to Sea World. Again it is really simple, all you have to do is get on I-4 and follow the Shamu signs.

4. Budget Attractions- Most of the budget attractions in Orlando are located in Kissimmee and our Kissimmee vacation homes are located very close to almost all of the budget attractions.

All in all, it will not take you more than just a few minutes to get to all the attractions. If you want to be right near the parks you can stay in one of our Orlando hotels, but hotels will not give you all the extra space and privacy of our Disney vacation homes.

Vacation Homes Near Disney World for a Christmas Vacation

Tis the Season to be Jolly! Today I just went by some of our vacation homes near Disney World to do one final check on them to make sure that everything is in working order for guests coming in this week. Let me tell you it is like a zoo near Disney World. This is our busiest time of the year and especially this year since Christmas and New Years Day falls on a Friday.

I will tell you once I got pass all the Kissmmee hotels which cater to Disney World on 192 the traffic eased up a little. The once I started to drive around the vacation home communities it was really peacful. Now, pretty much all the homes are occupied this week, but it was still so much more peaceful than on 192 near all that conjestion.

If you are thinking about taking a Christmas vacation to Disney World do yourself a favor and book a vacation home or one of our Disney condos. This way you can still cook a great Christmas feast, have extra room to open a few presents you bring to Orlando, and above all enjoy a little rest and relaxation out by the private swimming pools.

400 Orlando vacation homes

Rosen Hotels announced this week that they are going to be building 400 more Orlando vacation homes and Disney vacation condos near the Shingle Creek Golf Course. Quite frankly Orlando is already flooded with too many vacation homes, if you count all the vacation homes in Kissimmee and Orlando you will find that there are more vacation home units than there are hotel rooms.

The good news for guests is that the nightly prices per night on a vacation home have gone down since 2003. Yes, we are selling a three bedroom vacation home near Disney World with a private pool for $81 a night. Amazing! In 2003 the same house rented for $95 a night.

Most people should find this news very uplifting as well. For the past 2 years nobody has been building anything here in Orlando, so this news should give us hope that our economy is starting to turn the corner and we are finally going to put this financial mess behind us.
