Minutes From Disney. Surrounded By Golf.

They are two different communities that sit about a mile apart and share a name, which trips a lot of people up when they are booking.

• Reunion Resort is the larger, older community, a little over 2,200 acres of golf course, villages, condos and homes.
• Encore Resort at Reunion is a separate gated community just to the north. Homes only, its own front gate, its own amenities.

For your trip the practical difference is small, since the drive to the parks is nearly identical from both. It matters for one thing: community amenities are not shared between them, so whichever home you book, the amenities you can use are that community's.

Ask us before you book, and we will tell you exactly what your specific home comes with.

We would rather be blunt about this than have you find out at a gate. In these communities, access to shared resort facilities like water parks, golf and clubhouses is controlled by the resort and its HOA, not by us. It depends on the individual home and on membership arrangements attached to that property. It is not automatically included with every rental, anywhere in either community, no matter who you book through.

What you always get is the home itself and everything in it: the private pool, the spa, the theater room, the game room, the kitchen, the whole house. That is what we control and that is what we will promise you. For anything shared or resort operated, call us on (813) 343-2660 and we will confirm the current terms for that exact address in writing before you pay anything.

Roughly 10 minutes to the closest Disney gate and about 20 to Magic Kingdom, driving, outside of peak times.

Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are the nearest. Magic Kingdom takes longest because after you park you still have the ferry or monorail crossing to Seven Seas Lagoon, so build in the extra time. During rope drop and park close, add 15 to 20 minutes to any of these.

Yes, plan on it. These are residential resort communities, not a hotel on Disney property, so there is no walking to a park entrance and no Disney transportation from your front door. You will want a car for the parks, for groceries and for golf. Parking at the home is free and there is room for several vehicles, which matters when a group arrives in three cars.

Our homes in this area sleep 8, 16 and 24 guests. If your group is bigger than one house holds, call us rather than booking online. We can look at pairing homes and at what else we have in the Orlando area for the same dates, which is not something the booking calendar can work out on its own.

Yes. The guest making the booking has to be at least 25. Before arrival you will sign a digital rental agreement and complete ID verification with a photo and a verification selfie. This is all done online in advance, it cannot be handled in person at check in.

Earlier than you think, especially for the large homes. There are only so many homes in Central Florida that sleep 24, and the groups that use them tend to rebook a year out.

• Christmas and New Year: 6 to 12 months ahead
• Spring break and March: 4 to 6 months ahead
• Summer: 3 to 6 months ahead
• September and early February: the quietest windows, and the best value

Golf season in Central Florida runs roughly October through April, so if the trip is built around tee times, the winter months book up on both fronts at once.

On a week in a large home, the platform service fee alone is usually several hundred dollars. Booking direct:

• Saves up to 30% in channel fees lost to platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo
• Gets you a more flexible cancellation policy, 14 days instead of 30
• Reduced cleaning fee and zero markups
• Puts you in touch with the people who actually manage the home, not a support queue
• Lets us apply discounts that platforms do not allow us to pass on
