Planning a Disney trip and torn between a hotel room and a vacation home? For most families, a private vacation home near the parks wins on space, value and comfort. Here’s an honest comparison — and how Our Disney Home in Windsor Hills stacks up.
Quick Comparison
| Feature | Typical Hotel Room | Our Disney Home |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeping space | 1 room, often 2 beds | 5 bedrooms, sleeps up to 12 |
| Bathrooms | 1 | 5 |
| Kitchen | Mini-fridge (maybe) | Full kitchen |
| Pool | Shared | Private heated pool + resort waterpark |
| Entertainment | TV | Arcade game room, themed bedrooms |
| Cost for a group | Multiple rooms add up fast | One nightly rate for everyone |
1. Space to Actually Relax
Cramming a family into one hotel room means early “lights out” for everyone. A five-bedroom home gives kids and grown-ups their own space, a living room to spread out, and room to breathe after a long park day.
2. A Full Kitchen Saves Real Money
Theme-park dining adds up quickly. With a full kitchen, you can make breakfast before the parks, pack snacks, and enjoy a relaxed dinner at home — often saving hundreds over a week.
3. Your Own Private Pool
Instead of fighting for a lounge chair at a crowded hotel pool, you get a private, screen-enclosed heated pool and hot tub — plus access to the Windsor Hills resort pool and waterpark when you want more.
4. Better Value for Groups
Two or three hotel rooms near Disney can cost more than a whole vacation home. Traveling with extended family or friends? Everyone stays together under one roof for one nightly rate.
5. Still Minutes From the Magic
The classic trade-off used to be “home = far away.” Not here. Our Disney Home is only ~2 miles (5–10 minutes) from Walt Disney World, so you get home comforts without a long commute.
When a Hotel Might Win
Solo travelers or couples on a quick one-night trip who want on-property perks may prefer a hotel. But for families and groups staying several nights, a vacation home usually delivers far more comfort and value.
