Each week, special correspondent Rick E-Mouse reveals the hidden magic of Walt Disney World – in places you’d least expect!
Here’s this week’s secret:
How to Get the Most Value for Your Group
on Disney Area Vacation Accomodations
To get the most VALUE out of your family, group or team’s Walt Disney World area acommodations, you need:
- Enough room to keep everyone together for a comfortable, relaxing visit
- Plenty of amenities and luxuries that make everybody happy
- A prime location away from it all that’s still stay close to the fun
Vacation homes provide all this and more for family reunions, sports teams, business conferences and other group travel to the Walt Disney World area. Just listen to what others have experienced:
”My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary by taking the family to Orlando for the week. The home was a 2-story with 5 bedrooms giving everyone their own space. We couldn’t imagine being at a hotel and having to turn out the lights so they could fall asleep. The large family room also provided a place for the adults to visit after the kids went to bed.” – G. Yuccas from Illinois
“We enjoyed having a bedroom and bath for each couple and rooms for the children. The pool was of course a highlight for the children and used everyday.” – R. Pearson 
from Nebraska
“The kids had a blast! I can’t wait to go back!” – Coach Bressler, The Family Team Basketball Team from Michigan, participants in the 2008 AAU 9U National Championship at Disney’s Wide World of Sports.
“I had my parents, my family, my brother and his family and my sister and her family in a 5 bed/4 bath home and it was awesome! We have not been all under one roof since we were kids and ALL STAR allowed us to spend some quality time and have one large pajama party!” – T. Daigs from Louisiana
”We had 6-kids and 6 adults and we all had a blast. It was so nice having fun at Walt Disney World all day then heading HOME! We even had a group of 12 stay on our same street with overlapping dates so we could hang out. What a great deal. We will never stay on property again!” – B. Pilkington, Sr. from North Carolina
Now that’s an EARFUL!
