I own one of these (not one pictured) and just want to make a couple of things clear. First, most of us are family and personally owned and not some big corporation. AJ kept saying "big business" and yes, there are a lot of us, but we are not a big business. We all try to make our houses desirable and connect our guests to the parks. We theme and we give all of the comforts of home. Some charge for pool heat, we all have to get the house cleaned and it takes a lot of work to turn an 8 bedroom house around. I enjoy my home and enjoy renting it to others. If you have questions, and the DFB people don't mind, I'll answer questions for an owner's point of view.
In the past 6 years we've used VRBO 4 times to rent houses in the same neighborhood for our Disney trips. Way cheaper than a hotel, way more room, our own pool and laundry, 10 minute drive to the park. The only time I'd be interested in staying in a hotel instead would be for a couple splurge nights with a good view room at the animal kingdom lodge or the four seasons to use the pool.
LOVE THESE! We own a Magical inspired AIRBNB 7 minutes from WDW but its only 3 bedrooms! It’s called “The Enchanted Villa” on AIRBNB! It’s Adventureland themed living room, Mickey kids room, Haunted Mansion Bathroom, Beauty and the Beast Master, and Contemporary Mickey and Minnie room!
We stayed in Windsor Hill this past year and it was great! Just booked for this year at an all Villians themed home via VRBO in the Windsor Palms resort. Even with a massive suv rental and premium parking everyday at the parks, we break even against 2 rooms at pop without car rental. If you planned on staying moderate, this easily saves hundreds if not thousands depending on length of stay. Until onsite perks return or improve… no reason to spend the money!
We just purchased one and went live this morning! Message me for a discount!! 🙂
YES! love this! My husband and I own a fully Disney themed 6 bedroom/ 6 bath Villa called “Magical Portal House” on Airbnb and VRBO. We wanted to incorporate as many movies as we love as possible in this house by filling it with beautiful Disney murals. We are incredibly proud of the Tron-themed Arcade that will transport you into the Grid and get you excited for the Tron Lifecycle Run ride opening in April. The Living and Dining rooms are Tangled-themed, and our Movie room is Pixar-themed. Our staircase has a Fantasmic Mickey with walking broomsticks and a Cinderella castle with fireworks. The kids' rooms are Moana and Black Panther/Avengers themed and are connected by a mesmerizing magical portal between the worlds. The adult rooms are themed for Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Ratatouille, and Princess and the Frog. We take pride in providing a magical experience for our guests.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me.😊✨
i stayed at a place called Magical Portal House out in Davenport FL (super close to WDW) recently and it was EXCEPTIONAL. yall gotta check it out!
Recently stayed at an AirBnB called Magic Portal house with the fam and it was AWESOME. So many Disney Easter eggs and amenities to make it feel just like home. Highly recommend staying off property!
We were very happy with our stay at a huge house on VRBO. Cheaper than most Disney single rooms yet we had 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, full kitchen/dining/living/family rooms, game room and pool with hot tub. All only 10 mins from the parks. It was great! It would be hard to go back to tiny Disney rooms after that!
Wow neat
we stayed in a disney home in Kissimmee that had red walls and disney everything. it was $100/night and we were there for 10 nights. had 4 rooms, 2 full baths, pool and play room. it was awesome. seriously. except the red walls lol
We used Head for Orlando instead of airbnb for a couple of reasons. One, they waive the cleaning fee if you stay a certain number of nights. And two, they don’t make you pay a large down payment. It was a $200 down payment. Much better than paying half of the rental upfront!
My tip is to look in Kissimmee and not Orlando. We drove 40 mins one way each day to get to the parks. The rental was close in miles which is why we chose it. However, traffic is not your friend!!! Ruined me bc I’ll forever stay on property for now on. We only stayed off property bc we had a large family group last year and were trying to cut costs. However, I like drinking at the parks and I won’t drink and drive at all so it sort of ruined that aspect of my vacay. To each their own though, right!?
yes they can be a savings, but just remember , no one vet's the properties. read lots of reviews , if there are only a few i'd be concerned. we stayed in one. pre-covid. the owner came over each morning let himself in to check on things and make sure we were taking care of everything. (it was 4 adults and 4 kids, ) it was a bit off , that he'd just let him self in
Anyone have the link for the villa at 21:30? I’ve searched and searched and can not find it.
You've done every hotel motel in the Disney bubble. My question is, how about campsites in and around the bubble? Amenities, prices, locations, etc…
If a property is all ready booked for the dates you are looking for the property won't even appear in the search. If it is available then it will show up in the search for the dates you are looking for.
I’ve actually stayed at that first property the last two times we went to Disney. Not that exact room but very similar rooms. Very close to parks but kind of a weird location that a lot of Ubers May have issues finding. Otherwise super affordable & rideshare rides are about $10-$15
I was blown away by the price on the first place! That's 20 dollars more than a hotel in a town near me that's only good point is that it has a mall.
Disney needs to hunt these owners down and hire them to design future “reimagining” of their hotels 💯
As a central florida native seeing all these amazingly well done airbnb's makes me very happy! Like if you're gonna buy up all our houses and drive the market so high up I can't even afford to live ANYWHERE, at least be fun about it! 🙂
Last Nov., we checked on ratings/reviews but still got a dud in Kissimmee. The one my family and I got from AirBnB had bedbugs in a room. We were never able to get a refund and the property manager suddenly became very tough to get a hold of.
Little Princesses love 'Princess Crownhouse'. We'd love to host you on your next Disney trip!
We own a 6-bedroom Disney vacation home in Windsor Hills. It's a beautiful community with some great 2–6-bedroom rentals. Check out ours Disney Adventure Villa.
Warning: Air BnBs in Florida, at least in my experience, frequently have roaches.
On pricing, be sure to add the maintenance and any administrative fees to the nightly rate. It can double or triple the price. It may still be a good deal, but the nightly price listing is just one part of the story so don't be shocked when it turns out to cost much more than you thought.
I stayed at an airbnb just out of disney and my apartment got robbed so its worth considering all your options when on holiday and always lock your valuables in your suitcase before you head out
We always stay at Windsor Hills. For our family of 5 having more room is worth it. Use the money you save and get genie+. We would leave the parks and put a DoorDash order in and have food shortly after we arrive back at rental-still cheaper than Disney food and easy to get late night.
WARNING… From personal experience. Staying at an AirBnb may save you money. However! If you use ride share, the price can fluctuate need on demand. It was $30 to take us to the park but $70 back. So that was $100 in one day in travel costs. Because we got a big Airbnb and split cost with family we still paid less than if we stayed on resort, BUT some Airbnb are similar in price to resort cost but there may be added costs to Airbnb that you don't think about especially now that it's free to park on resort property for guests.
Why the hell would I want to pay for the heat in the pool in summer? Every time we went to the pool at Caribbean beach resort this august, it was so not refreshing…
