We stayed at Windsor Palms in August. We were in a villa. This was my first stay in a villa and to be honest I think I preferred staying in an hotel, but that is no reflection on Windsor Palms.

The resort seemed well cared for and we felt secure here. The manned gatehouse was good.

We didn't use the communal pool which is just a large simple pool - but it looked good. There was a small shop near the pool which sold essentials and a club house which had pool tables.

There is a large road being built which is close to the gatehouse but it didn't bother us as our villa was a little way into the resort - I think the townhouses are even further away from the road works than we were.

Windsor Palms is very near the 192 with plenty of choice of restaurants. There is a WinnDixie and a Publix within 5 minutes drive.

Using the Sherbeth Road shortcut we drove from our villa to Animal Kingdom car park in just 8 minutes - this is the nearest Disney Park to Windsor Palms.

Not sure what info you are looking for.

We stayed in a 3 bed townhouse here a couple of weeks ago.

Excellent accomodation. 3 good sized bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms, two with tubs and showers, one with just a double sized shower.

Full air (a little noisy, insulation is such that you can switch it off at night).

Fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. Through lounge with dining table and access to pool/deck.

Washing and drying upstairs.

A very quiet complex, should be the same in Nov.

Communal pool is heated and very clean. Hot tub to roasting!
Kids play area well kept.

I'd highly recommend this complex and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

If you want any pics I've got a few, I could post them on my pic host when I get home?

we stayed there 2 years ago, and it was lovely - we had a 2 bed apartment just behind the communal swimming pool and I couldn't fault the apartment or the development.
We, personally, have decided we prefer a hotel, but there was nothing wrong with the apartment at all, it was beautiful.
the location is very good, just behind animal kingdom, so the 8 minutes quoted above sounds about right to me. Loads of restaurants nearby as well, and a supermarket at the top of the road too.

8 minutes was exact the day we did this - I was sad enough to time it!:p:

Stayed there last year in 2 bed condo and off to do the same on Sunday. Its certainly a good location with easy access to Disney and we reckoned under 15 minutes to all Disney parks not always using Sherberth road. Also as stated earlier not too far from 192 with shops and restaurants.

I have received over 60 emails from owners offering their condo's have never done anything like this before as this is my first trip ever. I requested general info on booking from the site wow did i hear back.
