Should you and your family rent a
Disney Vacation Home with a private pool or a town home which is located near Disney World. Since every family is different I have listed to pros for each one below:
The Disney Vacation Pool Homes typically are a little larger than a town home and they offer more privacy since you are not connected to another unit.
The town homes offer a little better nightly rate and they offer the same amenities as you would find in a hotel with the concierge service, basketball courts, tennis courts, workout facilities, and free internet.
Either way you can not go wrong with either choice. If you are going to be staying for more than 5 days you might want to opt for the vacation homes since they are a little larger. If you are coming in for a short weekend vacation you can't beat the town homes for comfort and proximity to Disney World.
