I've had to move from the Rosen Plaza on I-Drive as they couldn't accommodate the whole of my holiday. I'm now staying in a 1-bed king suite at the Hilton Grand Vacation Tuscany Village right next to the Vineland Premium shopping outlet (you just walk through one of the many gates and you're in there). It is fabulous with so much room. The place feels like you're in the Caribbean and not in Orlando. It is absolutely beautiful.

20 April 14 nights is £230 plus £70 for bags which is pretty good as it includes Easter Monday and gives you the May Day bank holiday before heading back to work. If you can manage with one case between two it's pretty good at £265 pp

If we hadn't already booked NA at £279 plus the same for bags for the Monday I'd have looked seriously at this one.

OP if you mean Homewood Yes they are fine, prices are probably high because you are arriving Easter weekend. Try splitting your dates 20th to 23rd and a seperate booking 23rd to 2nd and see what that does to prices at the various properties.

Bahama Bay is nice but if you are doing Disney with the wee one Blue Heron is a good location as you cut along Hotel Plaza Blvd to Disney Springs etc so nice short drive. Plenty places to eat around Blue Heron and a Starbucks right at the front entrance for a morning fix!

Our dates are still coming up at £160.00. 24th April - 8th May. LGW - SFB. Bags are additional like you say. Skyscanner found me the pricing initially and I have booked via lastminute.com

Hi all, thank you for all the replies and recommendation. After a lot of research & YouTube video watching we have booked the Blue Heron Resort! Very happy with the area as we have stayed at the Clarion nearby before. The rooms look lovely too and we got a great price through Olotels.

We have paid £854 for two full weeks. There is a resort fee and cleaning fee which takes it to just under 1k which was our budget. Of we didn't need an extra room for Edith, if have booked the Clarion LBV which would have been £570 x
