Hi! We're looking at doing a non-parks trip to Orlando to visit for other reasons, and we would like to stay somewhere that isn't necessarily as expensive as a Disney resort, but has a nice pool and feels somewhat like a "vacation" not a business trip. We have four kids and would likely go early May. Any ideas? :)
 
Air B and B, or Lodgify have good options. We just stayed at a house in the Reunion resort and loved it.
 
There are several high end timeshare resorts in the area that are excellent for family vacations. Sheraton Vistana (2 locations) Marriott Palms (4?) locations, Hilton Grand Vacation (3 locations) Wyndham Bonnet Creek are all very popular options. Bookings can be done with the hotel chain themselves, but it is generally less expensive to book through skyauction (but read and understand add-ons fees - sliding scale by date) or direct from an owner (Redweek or Timeshare User Group). Bonnet Creek and Vistana have very active information threads here on DIS.

ETA: the advantage of timeshare resorts is that they are very similar in size and amenities to the DVC properties. Generally great pools with water features, large 2 or 3 bedroom villas with full kitchen, living and dining areas, on-site dining, so you are not just cooped up in a 200 square foot box for the week. It is a much more relaxing vacation for our family than a hotel type vacation as everyone has space!

Lots of choices. To be close to Disney & Disney Springs check out the Disney Spring Hotels. Priceline does do PrinceBreakers know where you bid but know what hotel you might out of 3 hotels. All the chains have great choices. Caribe Royale Orlando I have looked at, and it looks nice. sign up for the mousesavers.com newsletter
 


Have a look at The OMNI Hotel at Champions Gate ( Off Hwy 27 & near I 4 )

Good places to eat nearyby And within 10 miles of Disney & Disney Springs
