Three Good Reasons to Rent a Vacation Home Near Disney

By: Mark Whichard

Why are so many people looking to rent a Disney vacation home rather than book via the usual hotel chains? Do they know something you don't? There are three main reasons why people choose to do this, and you may find these fairly intriguing. The three reasons why people choose to rent Disney homes rather than hotel rooms are:

 

1. Renting an Orlando villa is substantially cheaper than renting a hotel room

2. By renting a whole home you have plenty of bedrooms, living spaces, bathrooms, dining space and a pool, all of which are entirely private

3. Orlando villa rentals are just a few minutes away from both Disney World and Orlando Studios, providing excellent convenience

 

Perhaps, after reading those three main advantages, the question should actually be why people would rent a hotel room rather than an Orlando villa rental? It almost seems too good to be true, which is why some people never look past the advantages, and carry on squeezing their entire family into a single, expensive room, spending two weeks watching their kids fly about like paranoid mosquitoes while they count the days until they can go back to work and get some rest.

 

The truth is that your children will have an even greater time if you manage to enjoy yourself, and get plenty of rest. We all need time off from our kids, and this just isn't possible in a hotel room.

 

When you're back at home you have no trouble relaxing - the children are asleep upstairs, while you can sit downstairs watching television, playing some DVDs or even relaxing by the pool or in the spa. If this is how you relax at home when your kids are with you all the time, why should you sacrifice this enjoyment just because you're on holiday? Surely being on vacation should improve your ability to relax and enjoy yourself, not crush it into a shoebox and shake vigorously for two weeks.

 

Let's have another look at those three advantages, and break them down more explicitly so that it's quite clear why choosing to rent a Disney home compares more favourably than the alternative of having a hotel room.

 

Economical advantage

Whether you're a couple going away with one or two children, or a double family vacation, you can definitely make substantial savings with an Orlando villa rental compared to the hotels in the Disney World area. Typical rates start at around $130 per night. If you assume the children are free (which in the hotel they won't be in many cases) then this works out at just $65 per adult per night for the two of you.

 

There aren't many places where you can find a hotel rate to compare with that, but the discounts simply increase if there are more of you in the group. If two families combine, with a total of four adults and a fair gaggle of children, then you may wish to rent a huge six or seven bedroom vacation home or villa. This will certainly ensure that you all have plenty of room, much more than in a hotel, and will cost around $200 per night. Divide between the four adults you're looking at a rate of about $50 per night. Any less and you'd be looking at paying campsite rates!

 

Privacy Advantage

With a hotel room you have two spaces - the room, and the bathroom. If you need to get away from the kids for a bit, your choice is either to sit on the bidet for a while or shuffle up and down the corridor outside along with the other haggard looking parents who are witnessing the best years of their life crawl out the window in bewilderment.

 

The dining area becomes something of a school canteen with other people's children either showing up your own, or behaving in ways you'd rather your own didn't witness. If you happen to have access to a pool, be prepared to share it with several hundred other people, their children, and whatever their children have added to it.

 

However, by renting a Disney home you have your own bedrooms, your children have their own rooms too, plus you will have access to a private living area, dining room, kitchen, balcony, garden and pool. Escape and peace are mere steps away, everything is as you want it, and the only people you have to share your pool with are your own family.

 

Convenience Advantage

To be classified as a Disney home the property must be within a few minutes of Disney World itself, and far from being flung far away from the action, you'll be right on top of it, with just a few minutes between you and the chaos to give you the chance to sit outside and relax in the peace and quiet.

 

With pizza delivery services close by, 24 hour supermarkets and even dry cleaning services for those little accidents, it's easy to see why choosing to rent a Disney home make a good deal more sense that paying far more for far less.
