mich112 New Poster (5) Join Date: Jan 20 Location: South West UK	Gated community Hi all I’ve just booked flights for July and now looking for a villa. I’ve only been once before and stayed at Windsor palms. Do you think it’s a lot better to be in a gated community? Just worried about the security and feeling safe. Probably being overly paranoid but I’m a worrier! What have other people found?

You could try searching for DIBB villas through menu at the top of this page you can specify how far from Disney you want to be. BTW we have had both gated and not gated and never felt unsafe

We have stayed in a couple of DIBB villas that have been fantastic over the years.
They were on Sunset Lakes, This is an amazing gated community, Only 10 mins to Disney and just a couple of mins to loads of restaurants and shops.
The villa are set around a huge lake, It really is a lovely place to stay.
It is in the Formosa Gardens area.
