There are
hundreds of home owners and companies around Walt Disney
World in Orlando who let out their homes to families wanting
to spend a weekend or a longer period. The great thing about
these vacation homes is that they are like ‘real’ homes.
They are not like hotel rooms that offer a “sterile”
environment, where there is no privacy or peace once you
step out of your room.
Instead
Disney vacation homes offer spacious bedrooms, private
and family bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, family and
dining rooms, and amenities like cable TV, DVD/VCR players,
eating and cooking utensils, dishwasher, washer/dryer etc.
Many
Orlando vacation
homes even have a private, enclosed swimming pool. This
adds great value to your Disney vacation because you can
shake off the heat and dust after a visit to the Disney Park
by splashing around in the pool with your family.
Another bonus
is the size of
vacation homes in Orlando. You can chose a vacation home
based on your needs. You can go for a
3-bedroom pool home
if you have a small family or you can rent a
6-bedroom pool home
that can sleep 14. You also have the option to rent a home
that has two Master Suites. This is especially useful if you
have planned your holiday with another family.
An extra
bonus is the cost.
Vacation rentals in Orlando work out cheaper than hotel
rooms. The savings can be substantial for large families
that need two or more than two hotel rooms. You also save on
food expenses. Every meal you cook in the vacation home will
be cheaper than the cost of a similar meal in a hotel. Also,
you can use the washer to wash your clothes. This is
especially useful for working women who don’t have to worry
about bagfuls of dirty laundry when they return home from a
vacation.
The cost of
the vacation homes, besides space
and amenities, also depends upon their location. The closest
home would be around 2 miles from the Disney Park while the
distant ones would be about 15 miles. You need to factor the
driving time when selecting a vacation home.
However, to
get the best deal you need to plan your trip to Disney World
in advance. As far as possible you must avoid going to
Disney World during the busy season. The best months – from
the price point of view — are January, February, September,
October, early November and early December. The costs go up
in late April, May, and August. The remaining months are the
most expensive.
You should
also try to rent a vacation home directly from the owner
instead of going through a travel agent or a management
company. This way you will strike a better deal. The owner
may pass you the share that would normally go to the travel
agent bringing your rental costs down considerably.
Today, it is
not difficult to interact directly with the owners. Most
owners have their own websites. Several also put up their
vacation properties on eBay. All that you need to do is to
search the net, and find the right vacation home for
yourself.
You will find
staying in a vacation home far more fun, and economical,
than staying in a hotel.
