Lake Wilson Preserve

redemma13 · 24 Jan 20, 05:09 PM

Afternoon all,
We are going back to Orlando in 2021 and I have already started looking at villas! Keen I know!

I have found a dibb villa on Lake Wilson preserve but I wasnt sure in real time how long it was from the 192 and disney? We will have 2 kids with us and will be going back to the villa for chill out time and then out again at night. Is this too far out? I don't mind driving 15mins or so for food but don't want to be driving too long.
We stayed at legacy Park last time which we didn't find too far at all so if anyone has a comparison then that would be great.
Thanks,
Em

From 192 maybe about 10-15 mins, not that far away really. The benefit is having Champions gate very close which has lots of restaurants, so you wouldn't need to go as far as 192 - unless you wanted to.

It is a bit further to Disney, but I wouldn't say it was too bad a journey.

Hope that helps.

We stayed in Welshwiz's villa in Lake Wilson Preserve a few years ago. The villa was beautiful. The location (at that time) was very quiet, with relatively quick access up north old lake Wilson road to I92 and Disney, or diving off and joining the 429 and popping out at Rolling Oaks.

I do know though that traffic has got a bit heavier on nolw road in the last year or two.

I would still very happily stay in the area. Between championsgate and Ovation there are plenty of shops and several restaurants if you don't want to go up to the 192.

Thank you both for your replies. Very helpful. Have been and stayed in villas quite a few times but never the same community twice! Travelling with young children makes you want a good quality villa as well as location!

We have stayed in this villa also. We've just returned from a trip there. Getting to disney springs in heavy traffic took us around 25 mins.
