Joint 40th in 2023 help!

Hi everyone! It's been 7 almost 8 years since my last trip to Florida and my friend and I have decided we want to go for our 40th birthday (which isn't til 2023 but we want to get ahead with ideas lol! ) I know the prices wont be out yet but I'm looking for any suggestions about places to stay and things to do. There will be 5 adults and 3 children under 10 going (2 girls 1 boy). Both times I've been we stayed on I-Drive and I'd be happy staying there again however I think a villa would probably be the best option, so any recommendations for villas close to disney would be greatly appreciated!

So much has changed since I've been, are there any must see and dos for us?

Thanks in advance!

I would definitely say a villa would be great for a larger groups, we've been twice in larger family groups and loved having a villa. Everyone had their own space and we were able to eat together, have chill days by the pool and it was great. We always had a couple of cars as well so we didnt all have to be togetehr all the time if we had different plans.

We stayed in Formosa Gardens which was gorgeous, and there are other villa communities close by that also get food reviews . . . i think Emerald Isle is one, sure someone will come along and correct me if that's not right

That's fab, I dont know much about villas or where is best to look for them! Did you have to book the flights separately or were you able to book it as a package?

We booked separately. For villas we looked at a few different websites like home and away etc. We had a few requirements/ must haves, narrowed it down and then agreed together on our favourite, worked for us
