Would you change to a villa?

[vampiress88]

Currently on holiday on a cruise with the kids and it’s making me re think our Florida holiday.

We have booked a studio room with virgin but have asked to upgrade With the hotel to a two bed suite.

We are now wondering if to change to a 4 bed villa.

I love I drive. I like walking up and down there and having a nosy but I think I might be remembering it as a couple like that. With kids I can see them moaning.

The villa has a private pool which is one of the reasons I would change.
But then we don’t get the free breakfast included like we do in the hotel.

What do you think

We stopped near I Drive as a couple and great as can walk about and have a few beers but went Villa last time and kids just loved having own pool. Booked again for July this year. Would go Villa every time now.

Always hotels for me, couldn’t do a villa

We do a spilt stay and finish up with a villa. Villa every time for us, kids are 13 & 11 and it just doesn’t work. This year we have 5 nights at Disney and 8 in a villa, free breakfast wouldn’t even come in to the decision as you can you can take cereals/brioche from home. The space in a villa and your own pool has totally outweighed how we holiday now and I don’t think we could go back to apartments/condos.

I like hotels at the moment as a couple but I think having your own pool is such a dream for British kids that I would chose a villa over an off-site hotel.

Meant to add it’s £133 more difference for the villa

We have stayed in villas last two trips, after several hotel stays on I Drive and LBV. We love the space of the villas, just me and DH, we had a 6 bedroom villa last year in Windsor Hills. (we booked a five bed to get a bigger pool area, came as a six)!

With kids too, the extra space is ideal. You can always pop back to I Drive if you really need to. Although the 192 area has similar places to eat. Not somewhere we walked along though.

We always opt for a villa. The pool is such a hit with the kids and there's so much space, freedom and privacy.

Saying that, we have stayed in a 2 bed at OKW which I would do again for the on site benefits. If not on site, villa every time!

I'd always choose a villa if traveling with children. It's much more relaxed, everyone has their own space. Plus, a pool to yourself.

Out of interest, if you return to Disney on the 8 nights after the 5 in the onsite Hotel, will you be eligible for fastpass booking 60 days prior to those 8 days? Or just the 5 days?
