Where We Stay Near Disney World


Reunion Resort · 15 minutes from the parks

When I’m not planning outfits, I’m planning Disney trips. These two vacation homes in Reunion Resort, about 15 minutes from the Walt Disney World gates, are our favorite places to stay. We’ve stayed in both, we love them, and they’re where I send every friend and fellow teacher.

Why a house instead of a hotel? Everyone gets a real bedroom, you get your own pool, and a full kitchen and laundry keep a big trip affordable. Split between two families, it can cost less than hotel rooms.

You can see both homes, plus all of my Disney planning guides, over at Stay Magicly.

The Sophisticated Estate

A private screened pool with a slide and spillover spa, a chef’s kitchen, and a game room with a pool table. It’s the one I’d pick for two families traveling together.
