Florida - Vacation home or hotel for Orlando area

Hi,

My family and I are booking our first ever Disney vacation and we wanted to see if people would recomend a hotel or vacation home? I'm brining my parents so a vacation home would be much cheaper but not sure if it will wreck the vacation fun if something went wrong with the home.

We looked on http://www.vrbo.com but I got nervous dealing directly with the owner so we were thinking using http://www.Magicalvacationhomes.com as they have homes in Windsor Hills which is just 2 miles to Disney and are members of the BBB.

Any advice appretiated.

Ut really depends on what type of holiday you want, what time of year, how many people will be going, ages, and how long you will be staying.

Lots of choices from homes, hotels, and extended stay type properties. staying at a Disney onsite hotel is great. Might want to look into one of the Disney Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

I agree that it really depends on what kind of experience you want. Some want to be on Disney property and others prefer a private home with the benefit of a private pool and more space etc. I would be happy to help you make sure your experience is what you want it to be. We have owned a home there since 05 and know the area pretty well. Just pm me if I can help.
Have fun!!:)

You'll probably have better luck posting this question on Fodors.com (Fodors Travel Talk Forums) which is more geared to the leisure traveler rather that the business traveler. To get you started, take a look at this: http://tinyurl.com/22q95yh

I've used VRBO many times and have always had a good experience. To me dealing with the owner directly is better as it allows for negotiation towards price, check in/out times, etc. and better service as owners tend to be much more helpful than your regular hotel employees.
