                                    Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I choose a villa and not a hotel?

Hotels close to Disney can be quite expensive compare the cost of squeezing yourself and your family in one or two rooms add to that the time and expense of feeding and entertaining everyone after a long day at the parks

 

With a villa you will have the luxury of an individual lounge dining area a complete fully fitted kitchen laundry room private en suite bathrooms and of course your own private pool Jacuzzi and covered terrace

You will probably find that 10 people can stay in a villa for the price of one in some hotels.

 


Why our villa

Our villa is new and enjoys a fantastic location on the best resort in the area not only can you enjoy the unrivalled facilities of Windsor palms our villa is our personal home not part of a rental business it has been furnished without compromise far beyond the required standards asked for by Florida management companies.

How far are the shops and restaurants?

Just a 2-minute drive there is a great selection of shops restaurants and supermarkets a few minutes further on the 192 are hundreds of shops and restaurants catering for every taste.


What should I pack

Not a lot! . Most regulars travel from the UK lightly loaded with the intention of filling their suitcases with all the amazing bargains to be had. Remember you are staying in a very fully equipped luxury villa. All towels and linen are provided the laundry room with washer and drier means you do not need as many clothes as you would if you stayed in a hotel.  But just to be on the safe side pack some tea bags.

How much does the pool heat cost

We charge £80 ($120) per week. Remember you will only require heat in the winter months if requested pool heat will be switched on prior to your arrival ensuring the pool is ready for your use as soon as arrive.


When do you advise pool heat

As a rough guide pool heat is generally recommended between October and April.


Are there any other extras?

Unlike many other villas we provide high chair, Cots, Gas BBQ and everything else you may need for a perfect holiday completely free of charge.


What about flights

 There are two types of flights to Florida scheduled or chartered 

Scheduled

Scheduled airlines will mostly fly you direct into Orlando international. Those that fly indirect are usually cheaper but the stopovers should be checked with care as the total journey time can be extremely arduous.

It may be worth considering to pay that little bit extra for a direct flight or it is possible that charter flights would be cheaper still (see below). Scheduled airlines can be arranged for any number of days (11, 12, 13, 14, 15 etc.) and with many airlines including:-

Chartered.

Charter flights fly direct into Sandford airport and are usually cheaper than scheduled flights.

Upgraded seats can be purchased on some airlines and apart from the comfort factor they can compare very famously with the price paid for an economy seat on a scheduled flight

Charter flights are usually only available for periods of 7,14,21,days etc. and can be arranged amongst others:-

 

There are a number of online companies that can provide you with consolidated airfares and further holiday options such as car hire. These include Expedia and Airline Networks.

What about car hire ?

We always recommend hiring a car in the USA and most people would consider it essential to get the most out of your Orlando vacation.

The main car hire rental companies have offices in all the major airports making it easy to collect your car at the start of your holiday and drop off again on your way home.  Our advice would be to arrange your car hire before arriving, it is much cheaper this way. US Car Hire based in the UK can provide you with a very competitive quote.

All inclusive packages usually work out to be the best prices, try and include as a minimum.

Full insurance

Tank of petrol

Unlimited additional drivers
