    Renting at Windsor Hills

    Also, feel free to ask the owner about their cancellation policy - outside of what the website says. I have a 60 day cancellation policy on VRBO, but I have twice refunded people that had to make last minute cancellations for medical reasons. (This is tricky as the guest has to cancel the...

    Bama Ed, Thanks for those suggestions. I would not have thought about that. I will also start looking for other campgrounds

    Availability in January?

    Thanks for all the replies. Ideally, I was looking for a 6 day period that we could park the RV and DH and I would be dogsitting while DD went to Jamaica. We don't want to have to drive it, so day by day piecemeal probably won't work. Any other recommendations for campgrounds with hookups...

    Availability in January?

    Hello! My Daughter and Fiance recently bought a fifth wheel and have been travelling the country. I was trying to get them a reservation at Fort Wilderness for January, but it looks like it's sold out. Is that usually the case? Should I keep checking? I'm surprised it's totally booked this...

    41 minute lay over at ATL. WOULD YOU?

    I have not read all the other replies but several years ago, I was booking travel for a business client who had delta status, so that was her preferred airline. She said she never booked anything with out AT LEAST a 75 minute window between flights when going through Atlanta.

    Old, Abandoned Hotel off of 192 and I-4

    We stayed there when it was the Hyatt. We got it on priceline. I think it was 2000 or 2001 (is it in my signature? I can't see that while typing here :))

    Where should I start? One month rental.

    I would also recommend Oakwater Resort - found through VRBO (home away) and Airbnb. Just put Oakwater Kissimmee in your search for location. It is a little closer to WDW than Windsor Hills - and has a Walmart next door - walking distance. Nice community pool, hot tub, exercise room, game...

    A little advice please!! (or just reassurance!)

    I would second this. As Annual passholders for several years, my favorite thing is the fireworks - amazing and IMHO much better than the DL nightime shows (that we saw for first time summer 20190 To me, the fireworks, the shows, the parades are all the things that make it a theme park instead...

    F&W Nov 4-6?

    HI everyone! I now the F&W historically ends the second week of November. This year, they don't indicate and end date. We are going to be in FLA Nov4-6 and I was thinking of trying to go to F&W, but I don't want to buy tickets and make reservations for Epcot if the Festival is over. That...

    I never did call. My reservation - which I made just about a month ago, was for Jambo house. They called me and said that Jambo house was not available and offered 1BR at kidani

    Vacation rentals near Lake Nona?

    I think ParkHopperfan is right. Orange County does not permit short term rentals. However, you will find lots of them on airbnb. Much more than homeaway or VRBO

    Best resort or neighborhood for condo or house rental

    I vote for Oakwater Resort. (I'm prejudiced, we own there!) It's in the same area as Windsor Hills but a little closer to Disney. There is a newly opened Walmart right next door - walking distance - so groceries and sundries are easy. It is a smaller resort, so most of the time the pool is not...

    Hi All! MY Dh and I did RotR on Saturday, January 11th. We arrived at the parking lot around 6AM - Parking in Minnie 301. We had no bags and were in line behind the DHS ticketing windows. The turnstiles opened around 6:20AM and we were in the park by 6:30 or so. We weren't planning to do...

    Share your story from visiting DHS’ SWGE!

    Thanks so much for this. I hope to go on Friday or Saturday. I'm curious though, do you have to be in star wars land to log in to get your boarding group? Or do you just have to be in the park? and were you able to try for the boarding group right when you went through the gates or was that...

    Where do I find info on off site condo rentals?

    You can also do a VRBO or homeaway search for Oakwater Kissimmee. Oakwater is located closer to WDW that Windsor Palms. I don't think there are 4BR units, but there are many 3BR that sleep 6. Outside of peak/holiday times - Ubers are about $10 to/from the parks. and there is a Super Walmart...

    How to avoid scams when renting a vacation home

    I have rented Airbnb and homeaway and also own a home listed on home away. Personally, I am more comfortable with listings that say contact OWNER as opposed to contact MANAGER. Both of the listings you have are MANAGED by the same person - who may not be the owner. (And I mean no disservice...

    Old non expiring tickets, how to check what's on them?

    Can't help with finding out before you go; but if you want to check them while there go to GUEST services in the parks. I have twice checked tickets at resort guest services and they gave me incorrect information.

    No car. Is the price difference worth it?

    Hello! You could also check out "Oakwater Resort" in Kissimmee through homeaway, vrbo or airbnb. It is a smaller resort community location right behind the new Walmart on Old Lake Wilson road. 2 and 3BR units, reasonably priced. We own a unit there. It's usually about $30 for uber to/from...

    Tips for Newbie for one day park plan

    Hi all, I have a friend planning to do one day at Universal this week. They will just do one park - not sure if they have decided which one yet. Any tips to pass along? My tips for WDW were 1) arrive at parking lot at least 1 hour prior to Park opening and maybe earlier. If parks open at...
