Which Orlando Resort Is Right for Me?

If you are asking “Which Orlando Resort Is Right for Me?”, the answer depends on much more than distance from Walt Disney World. Your ideal resort will also depend on your group size, budget, preferred villa style, interest in golf, need for children’s facilities and whether you want a lively or peaceful atmosphere. This page will help you identify which Orlando Resort Is Right for Me.

For example, Reunion Resort is often suited to travellers looking for premium villas, golf and additional privacy. On the other hand, Encore Resort can be an excellent match for large families who want entertainment facilities and a family-focused resort experience. Meanwhile, Windsor Hills may appeal to visitors who place Disney proximity and practical value near the top of their list.

Our Orlando resort quiz compares six popular villa communities:

• Reunion Resort
• Encore Resort
• ChampionsGate
• Solara Resort
• Windsor Hills
• Margaritaville Resort Orlando

As a result, you can compare each resort according to the features that genuinely matter to your holiday rather than choosing solely by name or location.

How the Orlando Resort Quiz Works

The Which Orlando Resort Is Right for Me? quiz asks a series of questions about your holiday plans. It then compares your answers with the strengths of each featured resort.

What the Quiz Considers

Holiday factor	Why it affects your resort match
Number of guests	Some communities offer a stronger selection of large villas for groups
Bedrooms required	Villa sizes and bedroom availability vary by resort
Disney proximity	Some resorts are better positioned for Disney-focused holidays

The quiz awards points to each resort based on your selections. Consequently, your final result includes a first, second and third resort match rather than presenting only one possible destination.

Is Reunion Resort Right for Me?

Reunion Resort Is Often Best For

Reunion Resort may be your strongest match if you want:

• A premium Orlando villa
• A large property for an extended family or group
• High-quality private amenities
• Easy access to golf
• A quieter and more exclusive atmosphere
• A villa suitable for a celebration
• A balance between theme park access and resort quality

In particular, Reunion Resort works well for travellers who view the villa as a major part of the holiday rather than simply somewhere to sleep.

Many properties offer features such as private pools, games rooms, cinema rooms, large communal areas and outdoor entertainment spaces. However, amenities differ between villas, so they should always be checked individually.

Browse available Reunion Resort villas or explore the wider collection of luxury Orlando villas.

When Reunion Resort May Not Be the Best Match

Reunion Resort may be less suitable when keeping accommodation costs as low as possible is your main priority. Likewise, guests who want a particularly lively resort atmosphere immediately outside their accommodation may prefer another community.

Nevertheless, for luxury, villa quality, large-group suitability and golf, Reunion Resort is often one of the strongest all-round options.

Is Encore Resort Right for Me?

Encore Resort Is Often Best For

Encore Resort may suit your group if you want:

• A large villa for several families
• Entertainment facilities for children and teenagers
• A family-focused resort atmosphere
• Water-based resort facilities
• A spacious home close to Orlando’s major attractions
• A premium experience without making golf the main priority

when looking at Which Orlando Resort Is Right for Me, Encore is particularly relevant to multi-family holidays because many properties are designed around larger groups. Furthermore, games rooms, cinema rooms and themed bedrooms are common priorities among visitors considering the resort.

Explore Encore Resort villas and compare them with EPV’s wider selection of Orlando villas near Disney.

When Encore Resort May Not Be the Best Match

Encore may not be the first choice for visitors seeking a quiet golf-led community or maximum privacy. In addition, the resort’s family-oriented atmosphere may feel busier during popular travel periods.

Even so, it remains a strong choice for large groups who want entertainment and practical access to the theme parks.

Is ChampionsGate Right for Me?

ChampionsGate Is Often Best For

ChampionsGate can provide a useful balance between villa size, golf, family amenities and value.

It may suit:

• Families seeking a well-equipped resort
• Golf groups
• Medium and large travelling parties
• Guests who want good facilities without selecting the highest luxury price category
• Travellers who are comfortable driving to the theme parks

ChampionsGate may therefore appeal to visitors who want many of the advantages associated with a large Orlando resort while keeping value in mind.

You can also explore the ChampionsGate resort map to understand the community’s layout before choosing a villa.

When ChampionsGate May Not Be the Best Match

ChampionsGate may be less suitable if being as close to Disney as reasonably possible is your overriding priority. Similarly, travellers looking for the highest level of exclusivity may prefer Reunion Resort.

However, for golf, family facilities and overall balance, ChampionsGate remains a strong contender.

Is Solara Resort Right for Me?

Solara Resort Is Often Best For

Solara Resort may suit visitors looking for:

• A modern Orlando villa community
• Family and children’s facilities
• A social resort atmosphere
• Villas suitable for medium or large groups
• A balance between price and resort amenities
• An active holiday environment

When Solara Resort May Not Be the Best Match

Solara may be less appropriate for visitors prioritising championship golf, exceptional privacy or the most luxurious villas available.

Nevertheless, it can provide a compelling combination of family facilities, modern homes and reasonable relative value.

Is Windsor Hills Right for Me?

Windsor Hills Is Often Best For

Windsor Hills may be a strong match if you prioritise:

• Convenient access to Disney
• A family-friendly environment
• Villas suitable for small or medium-sized groups
• Practical resort facilities
• Strong relative value
• A straightforward Orlando theme park holiday

For many families, the principal attraction of Windsor Hills is its convenient positioning for Disney-focused itineraries. Therefore, it may rank highly when daily theme park access matters more than golf or ultra-luxury accommodation.

When Windsor Hills May Not Be the Best Match

Windsor Hills may offer fewer choices for very large groups seeking ten or more bedrooms. Likewise, it may not suit travellers who want a premium golf-estate experience.

However, it remains a practical option for young families and visitors who expect to spend much of their holiday at the parks.

Is Margaritaville Resort Orlando Right for Me?

Margaritaville Is Often Best For

Margaritaville Resort Orlando may suit guests seeking:

• A colourful and distinctive resort atmosphere
• Restaurants and entertainment nearby
• Convenient access to the Disney area
• A lively rather than secluded setting
• Accommodation for couples, families or smaller groups
• A holiday experience with a recognisable theme

Margaritaville differs from traditional Orlando villa communities because its wider identity forms a significant part of the experience. Consequently, it may suit visitors who want dining, entertainment and atmosphere close to their accommodation.

Explore EPV’s Luxury Margaritaville Orlando Resort Villas.

When Margaritaville May Not Be the Best Match

Margaritaville may be less suitable for very large groups or travellers seeking maximum peace and seclusion. It may also be less relevant to visitors planning a golf-centred holiday.

Nevertheless, for atmosphere, Disney-area convenience and nearby entertainment, it can offer a distinctive option.

Which Orlando Resort Is Best for Large Groups?

Reunion Resort and Encore Resort are often the strongest starting points for large groups.

Reunion Resort may be particularly suitable for:

Encore Resort may be particularly suitable for:

• Several families travelling together

Browse EPV’s mansions for rent in Florida for homes designed for particularly large travelling groups.

Which Orlando Resort Is Closest to Disney?

The answer depends on the exact villa location, route, traffic conditions and Disney park being visited. Walt Disney World covers a very large area, so there is no single driving time that applies to every park.

Generally, Windsor Hills and Margaritaville are frequently considered by visitors who prioritise Disney-area convenience. Encore and Reunion are also popular for Disney holidays, although individual journey times vary.

For this reason, avoid choosing a villa based only on a broad resort-level distance. Instead, consider:

• The exact villa address or community location
• Which Disney parks you will visit most
• Expected travel times during busy periods
• Whether you plan to return to the villa during the day
• How often you will visit Universal Orlando or other attractions

Explore Orlando villas near Disney for more options.

Which Orlando Resort Is Best for Golf?

Reunion Resort and ChampionsGate are the strongest matches within this comparison for golf-focused visitors.

Reunion Resort for Golf Holidays

Reunion Resort is often the premium option. It combines golf access with luxury villas, large group accommodation and a more exclusive resort atmosphere.

ChampionsGate for Golf Holidays

ChampionsGate may provide a strong alternative for visitors who want golf and family facilities while placing greater importance on relative value.

Therefore, a dedicated luxury golf group may lean towards Reunion, whereas a mixed family-and-golf group may also consider ChampionsGate.

Which Orlando Resort Is Best for Families?

Encore Resort, Windsor Hills, Solara Resort and ChampionsGate all have strong family appeal, although they suit different types of family holidays.

Family requirement	Resorts to consider
Young children and Disney access	Windsor Hills or Margaritaville
Large family group	Encore or Reunion
Children and teenagers	Encore or Solara
Family holiday with golf	ChampionsGate or Reunion
Luxury multi-generational trip	Reunion

It is particularly relevant when the group wants:

• A distinctive premium villa
• Large private entertainment spaces
• Golf
• Privacy
• High-end communal areas
• An impressive setting for a celebration

Encore Resort may also suit visitors looking for premium large villas. Meanwhile, Margaritaville may appeal to guests who define luxury through style, dining and atmosphere rather than seclusion or golf.
