Best Times to Visit Disney World and Book 450 Burma
One of the most common questions we hear from families planning an Orlando vacation is simple: when should we go? The answer depends on what matters most to you — low crowds, pleasant weather, special events, or the best pricing. This month-by-month guide will help you decide when to visit Disney World and when to book our luxury vacation home at 450 Burma Street in Kissimmee, just 15 minutes from the parks.

Month-by-Month Guide to Disney World

January

Crowds: Low (after the first week). Weather: Mild, highs around 70-72F, lows in the 50s. Pricing: Low season.

January is one of the best-kept secrets for Disney World visitors. Once the holiday crowds clear out after New Year’s Day and the marathon weekend (usually the second weekend), the parks empty out dramatically. Wait times drop, the weather is comfortably cool, and vacation rental prices are at their lowest. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts runs from mid-January through February, offering unique food, art, and performances. This is one of our top recommended months to visit.

February

Crowds: Low to moderate. Weather: Mild, highs in the low-to-mid 70s. Pricing: Low season (except Presidents’ Day week).

Early February continues the low-crowd trend from January. The Festival of the Arts is still in full swing at EPCOT. Be aware that Presidents’ Day weekend brings a moderate uptick in visitors. Overall, February offers a great balance of good weather, manageable crowds, and value pricing on vacation rentals.

March

Crowds: High (spring break). Weather: Warm, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Pricing: Peak season.

March is spring break season, and the parks feel it. Schools across the country schedule their breaks throughout March and into April, which means consistently high crowds. The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival typically kicks off in early March, adding beautiful topiaries and outdoor kitchens to the park. If you must visit during spring break, book early — popular vacation homes sell out months in advance.

April

Crowds: Moderate to high (tapering after Easter). Weather: Warm, highs in the low-to-mid 80s. Pricing: Moderate to high.

Early April can still carry spring break crowds, especially around Easter. After Easter, crowds drop to moderate levels. The weather is warming up but is not yet at the intense summer heat. The Flower and Garden Festival continues at EPCOT. Late April can be a sweet spot if Easter falls early.

May

Crowds: Moderate (increasing toward Memorial Day). Weather: Hot, highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Pricing: Moderate.

May is an underrated month for Disney World. Most schools are still in session, so weekday crowds are manageable. The heat starts building, but the afternoon thunderstorm season has not fully kicked in yet. Memorial Day weekend is busy, but the weeks before it offer good value. Coming home to your private heated pool and air-conditioned home at 450 Burma makes the warm weather very manageable.

June

Crowds: High (summer vacation). Weather: Hot and humid, highs in the low-to-mid 90s, daily afternoon thunderstorms. Pricing: Peak season.

Summer vacation begins and the parks fill up. The heat and humidity are intense, with temperatures regularly hitting the low 90s and feeling hotter with the humidity. Daily afternoon thunderstorms are almost guaranteed but typically pass within 30 to 60 minutes. Pack ponchos and stay hydrated. The good news: summer evenings are long, and having a private pool to come home to at the end of a hot day is worth its weight in gold.

July

Crowds: Very high. Weather: Peak summer heat, highs in the low-to-mid 90s. Pricing: Peak season.

July is the peak of summer crowds and heat. Fourth of July week is one of the busiest periods of the entire year. If you visit in July, plan to arrive at the parks early, take a midday break (your private pool at 450 Burma is perfect for this), and return in the evening when temperatures cool slightly. The air-conditioned game room with the Pac-Man arcade, air hockey, and gaming consoles gives kids something to do during that midday break.

August

Crowds: Moderate to high (decreasing as schools resume). Weather: Peak summer heat and the start of hurricane season. Pricing: Moderate to high, decreasing late in the month.

August brings a gradual decline in crowds as schools across the Southern states start their fall sessions. Late August can offer surprisingly manageable crowds. However, August is also the beginning of the most active stretch of hurricane season (August through October). While direct hits on Orlando are rare, tropical weather can affect your plans. Travel insurance is worth considering for late summer and fall trips.

September

Crowds: Low. Weather: Hot, but beginning to cool slightly. Hurricane season active. Pricing: Low season — excellent value.

Late September is one of the best value periods of the entire year. Most kids are back in school, the parks are noticeably less crowded, and vacation rental rates drop significantly. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party typically begins in mid-August and runs through October, adding festive entertainment to the Magic Kingdom. The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival also kicks off in late July or early August and runs into November, making EPCOT an absolute must-visit during fall months. If you can travel during late September, you will enjoy short wait times, lower prices, and fantastic seasonal events.

October

Crowds: Low to moderate. Weather: Cooling down, highs in the low-to-mid 80s. Hurricane season still active. Pricing: Low to moderate.

October is a fan-favorite month. The weather starts cooling to more comfortable levels, the Halloween events are in full swing, and the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT offers some of the best eating experiences of the year. Columbus Day weekend sees a bump in crowds, but the rest of the month is generally manageable. This is an excellent time to visit if you enjoy seasonal events and pleasant weather.

November

Crowds: Low (early), very high (Thanksgiving). Weather: Pleasant, highs in the mid-70s to low 80s. Pricing: Low early, peak for Thanksgiving.

Early November is another hidden gem. The first two weeks before Thanksgiving offer low crowds, beautiful weather, and the tail end of the Food and Wine Festival. The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins in late November and runs through December, featuring holiday storytellers, food, and the beloved Candlelight Processional. Thanksgiving week, however, is one of the busiest and most expensive periods of the year. If you can visit in the first two weeks of November, you will get outstanding value.

December

Crowds: Moderate (early), extremely high (Christmas through New Year). Weather: Mild, highs in the low-to-mid 70s. Pricing: Moderate early, peak for holidays.

Early December (before the 15th) can offer moderate crowds and gorgeous weather. The holiday decorations across all four parks are spectacular, and the Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT is in full swing. However, the last two weeks of December — from about December 20 through January 2 — are the busiest days of the entire year at Disney World. Expect maximum crowds, maximum prices, and the need to book your vacation home many months in advance.

Quick Reference: Best and Worst Times to Visit

Best value months (low crowds, low prices): Mid-to-late January, early February, late September, early November.

Best weather: October, November, March, April.

Best for special events: September through December (Halloween, Food and Wine, Festival of the Holidays).

Worst times for crowds: Spring break (March), summer (June-July), Thanksgiving week, Christmas through New Year’s.

Book Early for the Best Dates

No matter when you plan to visit, one thing is true across the board: the best vacation homes book up months in advance. Our 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxury home at 450 Burma Street in Encore at Reunion West is located just 15 minutes from Disney World in a gated community. With a private heated pool, hot tub, game room, themed bedrooms (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse, and a Master Suite), and space for up to 16 guests, it is the kind of property that attracts repeat bookings.

If you are eyeing a popular period like spring break, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, we strongly recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance. Even for value periods like January or September, booking early ensures you get the dates you want.

Kid Essentials Packed In: Traveling Light to Orlando with Little Ones
Packing for an Orlando vacation with kids can feel like preparing for a small expedition. Between the diapers, snacks, toys, entertainment devices, strollers, and just-in-case outfits, your car or luggage starts overflowing before you even think about what the adults need. The good news is that staying at a well-equipped vacation rental like our home at 450 Burma Street in Kissimmee can dramatically reduce what you need to bring, making the trip easier from the moment you leave your front door.

What 450 Burma Provides So You Can Pack Less

One of the biggest advantages of a vacation home over a hotel is that it comes fully equipped like a real home. At 450 Burma, we have stocked the property with amenities that families with young children specifically need. Here is what is waiting for you when you arrive:
- Full kitchen with premium appliances: No need to eat every meal at a restaurant. You can prepare bottles, make baby food, cook kid-friendly meals, and keep snacks on hand. The kitchen features granite counters, an air fryer, and premium coffee equipment including an automatic espresso machine, burr grinder, and Keurig — because parents of young children need their coffee.
- Sound machines in every bedroom: If your little one needs white noise to sleep (and let us be honest, most do), you do not need to pack your own. Every bedroom in the house has a sound machine ready to go.
- Blackout curtains and shades: Orlando sunlight streams in early, and Florida does not observe daylight saving time for half the year. Blackout curtains and shades in every bedroom keep rooms dark for nap times and early bedtimes, which is a game changer for families with toddlers.
- Premium mattresses and luxury bedding: Everyone sleeps better on quality mattresses with premium pillows and luxury bedding. Well-rested kids (and parents) make for much happier park days.
- High-speed internet: AT&T Fiber at 1 Gbps with Wi-Fi 7 mesh and backup 5G means you can stream movies, shows, and music without any buffering. Bring your streaming logins and the kids can watch their favorite shows during downtime.
- Gaming consoles: PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED are all available. Older kids and teens will be entertained for hours without you needing to pack a single game device.
- Game room: The Pac-Man arcade with 1,300 games, air hockey, ping pong, foosball, and premium cornhole give kids of all ages something active and engaging to do.
- Private heated pool and hot tub: Kids live in their swimsuits on Florida vacations. Having a private pool steps from the back door means you do not need to plan a big outing every time they want to swim.
- Washer and dryer: This is the unsung hero of family vacation rentals. Instead of packing 7 outfits per child for a week-long trip, pack 3 or 4 and do a load of laundry midweek. Kids get messy, clothes get sunscreen stains, and having laundry on site means you never run out of clean options.
Orlando Packing Essentials You Should Still Bring

While the vacation home covers a lot of ground, there are certain items you will want to bring from home or purchase upon arrival. Here are the essentials for an Orlando trip with kids:
- Sunscreen (and lots of it): The Florida sun is strong year-round. Bring SPF 50 or higher and plan to reapply every two hours, especially at the parks and the pool. Consider sunscreen sticks for faces — they are easier to apply on squirmy toddlers.
- Comfortable walking shoes: You will walk 8 to 12 miles per day at Disney World. Make sure every family member has broken-in, comfortable shoes. This is not the time for new sneakers or sandals.
- Rain ponchos: Florida afternoon rain showers are practically guaranteed from June through September. Pack lightweight ponchos rather than buying overpriced ones at the parks. Dollar store ponchos work perfectly.
- A stroller you are willing to lose: If your child is under 5, a stroller is essential for the parks. Consider bringing an inexpensive umbrella stroller rather than your expensive jogger. Park strollers get moved, rained on, and banged around. Some families buy a cheap one at Walmart (less than 5 minutes from the house) and donate it at the end of the trip.
- Refillable water bottles: Staying hydrated in the Florida heat is critical. Disney allows you to bring water bottles into the parks, and you can refill them at water fountains and quick-service restaurants for free.
- Portable phone charger: Between photos, the My Disney Experience app, and kids watching videos in lines, your phone battery drains fast. Bring a portable charger. You can fully recharge it each night thanks to the USB-C outlets throughout the home.
- Swim diapers: If you have a baby or toddler who is not yet potty-trained, bring swim diapers for the private pool.
- Favorite comfort items: A beloved stuffed animal or blanket from home can make all the difference for a toddler sleeping in a new place.
Why a Vacation Home Beats a Hotel for Families with Young Kids

Hotels are designed for couples and business travelers. Vacation homes are designed for families. The difference becomes glaringly obvious when you are traveling with toddlers and young children. Here is why:
- Separate bedrooms for nap time: At 450 Burma, there are 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. When your toddler needs a nap at 1 PM, you put them down in their own room (complete with blackout curtains and a sound machine) while the rest of the family continues their day. In a hotel room, everyone has to tiptoe around or leave entirely.
- Themed rooms that excite kids: The Star Wars room with LED star ceiling, the Harry Potter room, the Frozen room, the Magic Kingdom room, and the Mickey Mouse room make bedtime something kids look forward to. There are no arguments about who sleeps where — every room is special.
- Kitchen for snacks and meals: Toddlers eat on their own schedule. Having a full kitchen means you always have Goldfish crackers, fruit, milk, and everything else on hand. No more $15 chicken nuggets from the hotel restaurant at 4:30 PM because your kid cannot wait until dinner.
- Space to spread out: Kids need room to play, crawl, run, and just be kids. Our home gives them that. The game room provides active entertainment, the pool gives them an outlet for energy, and the large living areas mean you are not tripping over luggage and pack-and-plays in a cramped hotel room.
- Laundry facilities: A blowout, a pool accident, a spilled juice box — these things happen daily with young children. Having a washer and dryer means these minor disasters stay minor.
- Privacy and quiet: Located in the gated Encore at Reunion West community, our home sits on a quiet street. No hotel hallway noise, no elevator dings, no ice machine humming through the wall at midnight.
Grocery Shopping Made Easy

One of the first things we recommend families do upon arrival is a quick grocery run. Publix and Walmart are both less than 5 minutes from the house, so stocking the kitchen is fast and easy. Pick up breakfast items, lunch supplies, snacks, drinks, and ingredients for a few dinners. You will save a significant amount of money over the course of a week compared to eating out for every meal, and your kids will eat better too.

Many families also use grocery delivery services like Instacart to have groceries waiting at the house when they arrive. There is nothing like walking into a fully stocked kitchen after a long travel day.

Rest Days Are Better at a Vacation Home

Experienced Orlando families know that rest days are essential, especially with young kids. Trying to do parks every single day leads to meltdowns, exhaustion, and diminishing returns on fun. At 450 Burma, rest days are genuinely enjoyable. The kids swim in the private pool, play in the game room, watch movies on the big screen, and explore the themed bedrooms. Adults relax in the hot tub, read on the outdoor sectional under the pergola with dual fans, or enjoy coffee from the espresso machine on the patio. It does not feel like a wasted day — it feels like the best day of the trip.

15 Minutes to Magic: Why Encore at Reunion West is the Perfect Disney Home Base
Choosing where to stay for an Orlando vacation is one of the most important decisions you will make during the planning process. It affects your budget, your commute to the parks, your comfort at the end of a long day, and ultimately how much you enjoy the trip. If you are looking for a location that puts you close to Disney World without the chaos of International Drive or the premium price of on-property resorts, Encore at Reunion West deserves a serious look.

What Is Encore at Reunion West?

Let us start with an important clarification, because the name can cause confusion. Encore at Reunion West is a gated vacation rental community — it is not the same as Encore Resort. Guests staying at properties in Encore at Reunion West do not have access to Encore Resort amenities such as the water park, gym, or on-site restaurants at encorereunion.com. These are two separate entities, and we want to be upfront about that so there are no surprises when you arrive.

What Encore at Reunion West does offer is something many families find even more valuable: a quiet, gated residential community with beautifully maintained homes, low traffic, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels a world away from the tourist corridors — while being just minutes from everything Orlando has to offer.

Location: Close to Everything That Matters

The biggest draw of Encore at Reunion West is its location. Our luxury vacation home at 450 Burma Street sits in the sweet spot of Central Florida, putting all the major attractions within easy reach:
- Disney World: Just 15 minutes away. Whether you are heading to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom, you are never far from the magic.
- Universal Studios: Approximately 25 minutes, making it easy to fit in a day at Universal or Islands of Adventure.
- SeaWorld: About 20 minutes by car.
- Island H2O Live: Only 5 minutes away — perfect for a quick water park day without the long drive.
- Orlando International Airport (MCO): Roughly 30 minutes, which makes arrival and departure days smooth and stress-free.
- Publix and Walmart: Under 5 minutes for groceries, snacks, sunscreen, and anything else you need.
This central location means you spend less time driving and more time enjoying your vacation. Compare that to staying on International Drive, where traffic can add 30 to 45 minutes to your Disney commute, or staying at a Disney resort where you pay a massive premium for proximity that often comes with its own logistical headaches like bus waits and monorail transfers.

The Gated Community Advantage

Encore at Reunion West is a gated community, which means controlled access and a level of privacy and security you simply do not get at a hotel. The streets inside the community are quiet and residential. Kids can look out the window and see palm trees and well-maintained homes rather than parking garages and busy roads.

For families, this peace of mind is invaluable. You are not sharing hallways with hundreds of strangers. You are not listening to the elevator ding at 2 AM or the neighbors slamming their hotel room door. When you come home after a 12-hour day at the parks, you pull into your own driveway, walk into your own private home, and decompress in total privacy.

Hotel vs. Vacation Home: What You Gain

Staying at a hotel near Disney might seem convenient, but the tradeoffs are significant, especially for larger families and groups. Here is how our 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom vacation home at 450 Burma compares:
- Space: Our home sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably. To accommodate the same group at a hotel, you would need 3 to 4 rooms — at a much higher combined cost.
- Privacy: Six separate bedrooms mean everyone gets their own space. Kids go to bed early in themed rooms (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse) while adults relax in the living room or by the pool.
- Kitchen: A full kitchen with granite counters, premium appliances, an air fryer, and premium coffee equipment (automatic espresso machine, burr grinder, and Keurig) means you can cook breakfast and pack lunches, saving hundreds of dollars over a week of restaurant meals.
- Private pool and hot tub: No sharing, no crowds, no rushing to claim chairs. Your own heated pool and hot tub are steps from the back door.
- Game room: A dedicated game room with a Pac-Man arcade (1,300 games), air hockey, ping pong, foosball, and premium cornhole. Plus PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED for gaming enthusiasts.
- Laundry: A washer and dryer in the home means you can pack lighter and keep clothes fresh throughout your trip.
Quiet Residential Feel vs. Touristy Hotel Strips

If you have ever driven down International Drive, Highway 192, or the hotel corridors near the Disney Springs area, you know the scene: bumper-to-bumper traffic, neon signs, chain restaurants, souvenir shops, and constant noise. Some travelers enjoy that energy, but for families who want to relax at the end of the day, it can feel exhausting.

Encore at Reunion West is the opposite. You drive through the gate, pass quiet streets lined with vacation homes, and pull into your driveway. The loudest sound you are likely to hear is the kids playing in the pool. At night, the backyard comes alive with patio string lights and landscape lighting, creating a tranquil space under the pergola with dual premium fans and luxury outdoor furniture.

This environment is especially valuable for families with young children who need nap times and early bedtimes. The home features blackout curtains and shades plus sound machines in every bedroom, so little ones can sleep soundly no matter what time the rest of the group goes to bed.

Smart Home Comforts and Connectivity

Even though Encore at Reunion West has a quiet, residential atmosphere, our home at 450 Burma is anything but dated. The property features modern smart home technology that makes your stay seamless:
- Keyless smart locks: No fumbling for keys after a long day. Enter with a code.
- Smart thermostats: Keep the home at the perfect temperature.
- AT&T High-Speed Fiber (1 Gbps): Paired with Wi-Fi 7 mesh and backup 5G, so your internet never misses a beat whether you are streaming, video calling, or gaming.
- USB-C outlets throughout: Charge your devices conveniently in every room.
- Tesla and 50-amp EV charger: If you drive an electric vehicle, you can charge it right at the property.
A Home Base That Enhances Your Entire Trip

The best vacations are the ones where your accommodations work for you rather than against you. At 450 Burma, your home base in Encore at Reunion West gives you the proximity to Disney and other parks, the space and privacy of a real home, the entertainment options to enjoy rest days, and the quiet atmosphere to recharge every evening. Our Airbnb rating of 4.9 stars across 10 reviews reflects the experience our guests consistently have.

Private Pool and Hot Tub Bliss: Making the Most of Your Backyard Oasis
There is something deeply satisfying about stepping out your back door and slipping into a sparkling private pool with no strangers in sight, no race for lounge chairs, and no lifeguard whistles. At 450 Burma Street in Kissimmee, your Orlando vacation comes with a private heated pool and hot tub that belong entirely to your group — morning, noon, and night.

Why a Private Pool Changes Everything

If you have ever stayed at a hotel or resort near the Orlando theme parks, you know the drill. You wake up early, grab your towels, and rush down to the pool hoping to claim a few chairs before they all disappear. By mid-morning, the pool deck is packed with wall-to-wall strangers, kids are splashing everywhere, and the music from the pool bar drowns out any chance of relaxation. That is the reality of a shared resort pool, and it can turn what should be a relaxing experience into something stressful.

At our 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxury vacation home at 450 Burma Street, you never have to deal with any of that. Your private heated pool is steps away from the living room, available on your schedule, with no crowds and no reservations required. Whether your group is 4 or 16 guests, you have the entire pool and hot tub to yourselves.

Best Times to Enjoy the Pool During Your Orlando Trip

Having a private pool gives you flexibility that hotel guests simply do not have. Here are some of the best times to make use of your backyard oasis:
- Morning before the parks: Start your day with a quick swim or a relaxing float. It is a wonderful way to wake up, and since Disney World is only 15 minutes away, you still have plenty of time to get there for rope drop.
- Midday break: If you leave the parks during the hottest part of the afternoon (a smart strategy in Florida), come home and cool off in the pool. The kids will love it, and everyone recharges for an evening return to the parks.
- Evening wind-down: After a full day of walking through the theme parks, there is nothing better than easing into the warm hot tub under the stars. Let the jets work on those tired legs while the kids burn off their last bit of energy in the pool.
- Rest day by the pool: Some of the best vacation days are the ones where you do not go anywhere. Dedicate a full day to lounging poolside, grilling out, and playing games in the game room.
The Hot Tub Experience

The private hot tub at 450 Burma is the perfect complement to the pool. After a long day at Disney, Universal, or SeaWorld, the warm water and jets provide genuine relief for sore feet and aching muscles. Many of our guests say the hot tub is their favorite feature of the entire property.

Evenings are especially magical. The backyard features patio string lights and professional landscape lighting that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Imagine settling into the hot tub after the kids are in bed, looking up at the Florida night sky with the soft glow of string lights around you. It is the kind of moment that makes a vacation feel truly special.

The Outdoor Living Space: More Than Just a Pool

Our backyard oasis extends well beyond the pool and hot tub. The entire outdoor area has been designed for comfort and entertaining:
- Pergola with dual premium fans: A shaded pergola provides relief from the Florida sun, and the dual ceiling fans keep the air moving so you can relax outdoors even on warm days.
- Luxury outdoor sectional: A premium outdoor sectional sofa gives your group a comfortable spot to gather, have conversations, or simply read a book poolside.
- Outdoor dining set: Enjoy meals al fresco with a full outdoor dining set. Grill some steaks from the nearby Publix (less than 5 minutes away) and have dinner under the stars.
- Patio string lights: The string lights transform the backyard into a magical space in the evening, perfect for gatherings or a quiet night outside.
- Landscape lighting: Professional landscape lighting adds ambiance and ensures the outdoor space is beautifully lit and safe to navigate after dark.
Pool Safety Tips for Families with Kids

A private pool is a wonderful amenity, and safety is always a top priority, especially for families traveling with young children. Here are some important tips to keep everyone safe:
- Designate a water watcher: Assign one adult at all times to be the designated water watcher. This person should not be on their phone or reading — their only job is watching the kids in or near the pool.
- Establish pool rules early: On your first day, walk the kids through the rules. No running on the pool deck, no diving in the shallow end, and younger children must always have an adult with them.
- Use the buddy system: If you are traveling with multiple kids, pair them up so no one is ever swimming alone.
- Check pool depth: Show children where the pool gets deeper and establish boundaries for younger or less experienced swimmers.
- Swim gear: Bring puddle jumpers or Coast Guard-approved life jackets for toddlers and young children who are still learning to swim.
Evening Entertaining by the Pool

One of the biggest advantages of a private pool vacation home over a hotel is the ability to entertain. At 450 Burma, the backyard becomes a gathering space for your entire group in the evening. Here is how many of our guests spend their evenings:

After a day at the parks, the group gathers on the outdoor sectional while the grill heats up. Someone makes coffee with the premium espresso machine inside while others set the outdoor dining table. The string lights come on as the sun sets, and the kids take one last swim before dinner. After eating, the adults move to the hot tub while the kids head to the game room for air hockey, ping pong, or a few rounds on the Pac-Man arcade. It is the kind of evening you simply cannot have in a hotel room.

Heated Pool Means Year-Round Enjoyment

Florida winters are mild compared to most of the country, but the temperature can dip enough to make an unheated pool uncomfortable. That is why the pool at 450 Burma is heated, so you can enjoy it comfortably whether you visit in July or January. This makes our home an excellent choice for holiday trips, spring break getaways, and off-season visits when crowds are thinner and prices are lower.

The property is located in Encore at Reunion West, a gated vacation rental community just 15 minutes from Disney World, 25 minutes from Universal Studios, and 20 minutes from SeaWorld. With the pool, hot tub, outdoor living space, game room, and themed bedrooms including Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Frozen, there is truly something for everyone.

Planning a Family Trip to Disney World: Budget Tips for Groups of 10+
Taking a large group to Disney World is an incredible experience, but the costs can spiral out of control fast if you are not strategic. Whether you are planning a multi-family trip, a reunion, or a vacation with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, these budget tips for groups of 10 or more will help you maximize the magic while keeping spending in check. We have helped dozens of large groups plan unforgettable Disney vacations from our luxury vacation home at 450 Burma St in Kissimmee, FL, and here is what we have learned.

Stay in One Vacation Home Instead of Multiple Hotel Rooms

This is the single biggest money-saving decision for large groups. A group of 12-16 people would need 3-4 hotel rooms near Disney, easily costing $150-400+ per room per night. That is $450-1,600+ every single night just for lodging. Our vacation home at 450 Burma sleeps up to 16 guests in 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Split the cost across the group and each family pays a fraction of what a single hotel room would cost.

Beyond the savings, a vacation home keeps the group together. Instead of being scattered across different hotel floors or buildings, everyone is under one roof. The kids play together, the adults cook and socialize together, and the trip feels more like a family experience than separate hotel stays that happen to overlap.

Cook Breakfast and Pack Lunches to Save Thousands

Food is the second largest expense at Disney World after tickets, and for large groups, it adds up shockingly fast. A quick-service breakfast in the parks runs $12-18 per person. Sit-down restaurants charge $20-35 per person for lunch. For a group of 12, that is $144-216 just for breakfast and $240-420 for lunch, every single day.

The solution is simple: cook breakfast at the house and pack lunches for the parks. Our fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops, premium appliances, and an air fryer. The premium coffee station features an automatic espresso machine, burr grinder, and Keurig, so you do not need to spend $6 per coffee at the parks either. Publix and Walmart are less than 5 minutes away for grocery runs.

Here is the math: cooking breakfast saves roughly $15-25 per person per day. For a group of 12 over 7 days, that is $1,260-2,100 saved on breakfast alone. Pack sandwiches, snacks, and water bottles for the parks and you will save another $1,000+ on lunches. Splurge on one or two nice park dinners instead and enjoy those meals guilt-free because you have saved so much elsewhere.

Buy Multi-Day Park Tickets for the Best Per-Day Value

Disney World ticket pricing rewards longer visits. A single-day ticket might cost $109-189 depending on the day, but multi-day tickets bring the per-day cost down significantly. A 5-day ticket can bring the daily cost below $90 per day. For large groups, buying multi-day passes and planning which parks to visit on which days can save hundreds across the group.

Additional tips for tickets:
- Visit on weekdays when ticket prices are lower than weekends
- Skip Park Hopper unless you truly plan to visit multiple parks in one day
- Check for seasonal promotions and Florida resident discounts if any of your group qualifies
- Buy tickets directly from Disney or authorized sellers to avoid scams
- Consider whether every member of the group needs to go to the parks every day. Babies and toddlers may be happier at the vacation home pool on some days
Use the Rope Drop Strategy

Rope drop means arriving at the park right when it opens, and it is the best free strategy for maximizing your time. The first 1-2 hours of the day have the shortest wait times for popular rides. A group that arrives at rope drop can knock out 3-5 major attractions before the crowds build up. This means less time standing in lines and more time enjoying the parks, which translates to fewer days needed at the parks overall and potentially saving on tickets.

Since 450 Burma is only 15 minutes from Disney World, you can leave the house at 7:30 AM and be at the park gates before they open at 8 or 9 AM. That is a huge advantage over staying further from the parks.

Plan Strategic Rest Days

Rest days are not just good for your body. They are good for your budget. Every day you skip the parks, you save on tickets, food, parking, and impulse purchases. For a group of 12, a single rest day can easily save $1,500+ in combined expenses.

At 450 Burma, rest days are anything but boring. Your group can enjoy:
- Private heated pool and hot tub with no crowds and no time limits
- Full game room with a Pac-Man arcade cabinet (1,300+ games), air hockey, ping pong, foosball, and premium cornhole
- Gaming consoles: PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED
- Beautiful outdoor space with a pergola, dual premium fans, luxury outdoor sectional, dining set, patio string lights, and landscape lighting
- Themed bedrooms that kids never get tired of: Star Wars (with LED star ceiling), Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse, and the Master Suite
The property is in the gated Encore at Reunion West community. Please note that guests do not have access to Encore Resort amenities such as the water park, gym, or restaurants, but with everything the house offers, you will have more than enough to fill a fun rest day.

Take Advantage of Free Activities

Orlando has plenty of free things to do that do not require park tickets:
- Disney Springs: Free admission. Shop, dine, and enjoy live entertainment without a park ticket. Great for an evening outing.
- Town of Celebration: Walt Disney’s planned community is charming and free to explore. Walk around the lake, check out the shops, and grab ice cream.
- Resort hopping: You do not need to be a hotel guest to explore Disney’s resort hotels. Visit the Grand Floridian, Polynesian Village, or Contemporary Resort to see the architecture and theming for free.
- Pool days at the house: Your private heated pool is the best free entertainment for the whole group. No admission fees, no crowds, no sunscreen reapplication lines.
Split Costs Fairly Across the Group

One of the keys to a successful large-group trip is transparent cost sharing. Before the trip, agree on how to split the vacation home rental, groceries, and shared expenses. Apps like Splitwise make it easy to track who paid for what and settle up at the end. When you split a vacation home among 3-4 families, the per-family cost for luxury accommodations is often less than a single budget hotel room.

Additional Money-Saving Tips
- Free parking at the house: Disney resort hotels charge $25/night for parking. We offer free parking plus a Tesla and 50-amp EV charger for electric vehicle owners.
- Do laundry at the house: Pack lighter and wash clothes during the trip instead of paying airline bag fees for extra luggage.
- Bring your own stroller: Renting at Disney costs $15-35/day. Bring one from home and save.
- Refillable water bottles: Fill them at the house each morning and refill at free water stations throughout the parks.
- Set a souvenir budget: Give each child a set amount for the whole trip so they learn to choose wisely.
Why 450 Burma Is Perfect for Large Groups

Our vacation home was designed with large groups in mind. With 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, premium mattresses and luxury bedding in every room, and smart home features including keyless smart locks, smart thermostats, smart lights, and USB-C outlets throughout, it is a modern, comfortable home base for your Disney vacation. AT&T High-Speed Fiber (1 Gbps) with Wi-Fi 7 Mesh and backup 5G keeps everyone connected, even with 16 people streaming, gaming, and posting vacation photos.

The location is ideal: 15 minutes from Disney World, 25 minutes from Universal Studios, 20 minutes from SeaWorld, 5 minutes from Island H2O Live water park, and 30 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO).

The Ultimate Game Room Guide: What to Expect at 450 Burma
A great vacation home near Orlando needs more than just bedrooms and a pool. It needs a game room that keeps everyone entertained, whether you are taking a rest day from the parks, waiting out an afternoon Florida rainstorm, or just looking for something fun to do after dinner. At 450 Burma St in Kissimmee, FL, our game room is stocked with everything from classic arcade games to modern gaming consoles, and it is a hit with kids, teenagers, and adults alike. Here is the complete guide to what you will find.

Pac-Man Arcade Cabinet with 1,300+ Classic Games

The centerpiece of the game room is a full-size Pac-Man arcade cabinet loaded with over 1,300 classic games. This is not a cheap novelty piece. It is a premium cabinet with authentic joystick and button controls that takes you back to the golden age of arcade gaming. You will find all the classics: Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and hundreds more. It supports two players, so you can go head-to-head with your kids, your partner, or anyone in your group.

For parents and grandparents, this arcade is pure nostalgia. For kids who have never seen a classic arcade machine, it is a brand-new experience. We consistently hear that guests spend hours in front of this cabinet, cycling through games they forgot existed or discovering titles for the first time. With 1,300+ games, you could play a different one every few minutes for your entire vacation and never run out.

Air Hockey Table

Nothing gets the competitive energy flowing like a fast-paced air hockey match. Our air hockey table is a full-size, high-quality table with smooth airflow for fast puck action. It is one of those games that everyone can play regardless of age or skill level. Set up a family tournament, keep a running bracket for the week, or just enjoy quick one-on-one matches between park days. Air hockey is universally loved and always gets people laughing and trash-talking in the best way.

Ping Pong Table

Ping pong is another game that appeals to every age group. Whether you are a casual player who just wants to rally or a competitive player looking to show off your spin serves, our ping pong table delivers. It is a great way to burn some energy after a big dinner or get the blood flowing on a lazy morning. Doubles matches are especially fun with larger groups, and with up to 16 guests in the house, you will never have trouble finding a partner or opponent.

Foosball Table

Foosball is one of those classic games that never gets old. Our foosball table is built for real play, with solid rods, balanced players, and a smooth playing surface. Two-on-two matches are where foosball really shines, and it is a fantastic game for parents and kids to team up together. The fast pace keeps everyone engaged, and games are quick enough that everyone gets a turn, even in a large group.

Premium Cornhole Boards

Cornhole is the ultimate chill game. Whether you play indoors in the game room or take the boards out to the patio near the pool, it is a laid-back, social game perfect for all ages. Our premium cornhole boards are regulation quality with a smooth sliding surface for consistent bag action. Set up a cornhole tournament, play while the kids are in the pool, or use it as a wind-down activity after a long day at Disney World. It is simple, fun, and endlessly replayable.

Gaming Consoles: PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED

When the family wants to switch from physical games to digital ones, we have you covered with three premium gaming consoles:
- PlayStation 5 (PS5): Sony’s flagship console delivers stunning graphics and a massive game library. Whether you are into action, adventure, sports, or racing, the PS5 has something for everyone.
- Xbox Series X: Microsoft’s most powerful console offers incredible performance and Game Pass access to hundreds of titles. Perfect for multiplayer gaming sessions with the family.
- Nintendo Switch OLED: Nintendo’s versatile console is a family favorite. Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, and dozens of other family-friendly titles make this a must-have for groups with kids. The Switch can be played on the TV or taken handheld, giving you flexibility to game anywhere in the house.
With all three major current-generation consoles available, every gamer in the family will find something they love. Pair these with the AT&T High-Speed Fiber internet (1 Gbps) with Wi-Fi 7 Mesh and backup 5G connectivity, and you have a lag-free gaming experience that rivals anything at home.

Why the Game Room Matters on a Theme Park Vacation

Here is something experienced Disney families know: you need rest days. Going to the parks seven days straight is a recipe for exhaustion, especially with young kids. A well-stocked game room gives your family reasons to enjoy a day at the house without anyone feeling like they are missing out. Rest days at 450 Burma are genuinely fun, not just downtime.

The game room is also perfect for these situations:
- Rainy afternoons: Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms are predictable and intense. Instead of being stuck in a hotel room, your group has a full game room to enjoy.
- Evening entertainment: After a park day, head to the game room for a family tournament before bed. It is a great way to make memories without spending another dollar.
- Different interests: In large groups, not everyone wants to go to the same park every day. Some people might prefer to stay at the house and enjoy the pool and game room while others hit the parks. Everyone wins.
- Teenagers: Keeping teens entertained is notoriously difficult. Between the arcade, consoles, air hockey, and ping pong, even the hardest-to-please teenager will find something fun to do.
Beyond the Game Room

The game room is just one part of the 450 Burma experience. The property also features a private heated pool and hot tub, a beautiful outdoor space with a pergola featuring dual premium fans, a luxury outdoor sectional and dining set, patio string lights, and landscape lighting. Add in six themed bedrooms (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse, and a Master Suite), a fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances and coffee station, and smart home features throughout, and you have a vacation home that rivals any resort.

The property is located in the gated Encore at Reunion West community in Kissimmee, FL 34747, just 15 minutes from Disney World, 25 minutes from Universal Studios, 20 minutes from SeaWorld, and 5 minutes from Island H2O Live. Please note that guests do not have access to Encore Resort amenities such as the water park, gym, or restaurants.

Our Themed Bedrooms: A Magical Sleep Experience for Kids and Adults
What if bedtime was the part of vacation your kids looked forward to most? At our luxury vacation home at 450 Burma St in Kissimmee, FL, every bedroom is a themed experience designed to delight kids and adults alike. From a galaxy far, far away to the halls of Hogwarts, each of our six bedrooms transports guests into a different world. Here is a detailed look at every room in this 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom vacation home just 15 minutes from Disney World.

Star Wars Bedroom: Sleep Under the Stars

The Star Wars bedroom is a showstopper. The highlight is an LED star ceiling that glows like a real night sky full of stars, creating an immersive galactic experience as you drift off to sleep. The room is decorated with iconic Star Wars imagery and details that will make any Jedi or Sith fan feel right at home. Whether your kids are obsessed with lightsaber battles or you grew up watching the original trilogy, this room delivers an experience you simply cannot get at a hotel. Imagine the look on your child’s face when they walk in and see a ceiling full of glowing stars above their bed.

Harry Potter Bedroom: Welcome to the Wizarding World

Step into the Wizarding World without leaving the house. Our Harry Potter bedroom is designed for witches, wizards, and muggles of all ages. The room captures the magic and mystery of Hogwarts with carefully chosen decor and theming that makes you feel like you have received your acceptance letter. After a day exploring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, just 25 minutes away, your kids can return to their very own magical bedroom. It is the perfect complement to a theme park vacation.

Frozen Bedroom: Let It Go in Style

For little ones who cannot stop singing “Let It Go,” the Frozen bedroom is a dream come true. Inspired by the icy kingdom of Arendelle, this room brings the magic of Elsa and Anna to life. The Frozen theming creates a cool, enchanting atmosphere that kids absolutely love. It is one of the most requested rooms in the house, and it is easy to see why. Young fans of the franchise will feel like royalty every time they walk through the door.

Magic Kingdom Bedroom: The Happiest Room in the House

Our Magic Kingdom bedroom captures the spirit of Disney’s most iconic theme park. The room is decorated with imagery and details inspired by the park that started it all. After spending the day on Main Street U.S.A. or riding Space Mountain, your family can come home to a bedroom that keeps the Disney magic going all night long. This room is perfect for families who eat, sleep, and breathe Disney. The Magic Kingdom is only 15 minutes away, so you are never far from the real thing.

Mickey Mouse Bedroom: Classic Disney Charm

You cannot have a Disney vacation home without a room dedicated to the mouse that started it all. The Mickey Mouse bedroom celebrates the most recognizable character in the world with cheerful, classic Disney theming. This room is a hit with younger kids who are just discovering the magic of Disney for the first time. It is bright, fun, and full of personality, exactly like Mickey himself.

Master Suite: Luxury Retreat for the Adults

While the kids are living out their fantasy adventures in their themed rooms, the adults deserve their own retreat. The Master Suite is a sophisticated, luxurious space designed for rest and relaxation. After long days at the parks, you will sink into the premium mattress, wrap yourself in luxury bedding, and enjoy the quiet comfort of a room built for grown-up relaxation. It is the perfect balance to the playful energy of the rest of the house.

Every Room Is Built for Premium Sleep

Theming is just the beginning. Every single bedroom in the house, all six of them, is equipped with features designed to deliver the best sleep of your vacation:
- Premium mattresses and pillows so every guest wakes up refreshed and ready for another park day
- Luxury bedding that feels like a five-star hotel
- Blackout curtains and shades that block out the bright Florida sun, perfect for sleeping in or putting little ones down for naps
- Sound machines in every room to create a peaceful sleep environment, even with a full house of 16 guests
These are not afterthoughts. We invested in sleep quality because we know that a great vacation starts with a great night’s rest. When the kids are well-rested, park days are happier for everyone.

Why Themed Bedrooms Make a Difference

At a typical hotel or even a Disney resort, kids sleep in the same generic room as the adults. There is nothing special about bedtime. At 450 Burma, bedtime becomes part of the adventure. Kids race to their rooms. They take ownership of their space. They talk about their themed bedroom for weeks after the trip. It turns an ordinary vacation home into an extraordinary experience that the whole family remembers.

Parents have told us their kids asked to go back to the house instead of staying at the parks, just because they loved their rooms so much. That is the kind of magic we aim to create.

The Perfect Home Base for a Theme Park Vacation

With 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, 450 Burma is located in the gated Encore at Reunion West community in Kissimmee, FL 34747. Please note that guests do not have access to Encore Resort amenities such as the water park, gym, or restaurants, but with a private heated pool, hot tub, full game room, and all the comforts of home, you will not miss them. The property is just 15 minutes from Disney World, 25 minutes from Universal Studios, 20 minutes from SeaWorld, and 5 minutes from Island H2O Live water park.

Top 10 Reasons to Choose a Vacation Home Over a Disney Resort Hotel
Planning a Disney World vacation and debating whether to stay at a Disney resort hotel like the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, or Art of Animation? On-property resorts offer convenience, but a luxury vacation home near Disney World delivers far more value, space, and comfort for families and groups. Here are the top 10 reasons a vacation home at 450 Burma St in Kissimmee beats a Disney resort hotel every time.

1. Six Bedrooms vs. One Cramped Hotel Room

Disney resort hotels pack your entire family into one or two rooms. Even the Family Suites at Art of Animation max out at 6 guests in roughly 565 square feet. Our 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom vacation home sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably across spacious bedrooms, each with premium mattresses, luxury bedding, blackout curtains and shades, and sound machines. Everyone gets a real bed, real privacy, and a real night’s sleep.

2. Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub vs. Crowded Resort Pools

Disney resort pools are beautiful but packed with hundreds of guests competing for lounge chairs. At 450 Burma, you get your own private heated pool and hot tub. Swim at midnight, float in peace at sunrise, or let the kids splash without fighting for space. No towel reservations, no crowds, no time limits.

3. Full Kitchen Saves Hundreds on Dining

Dining at Disney resorts adds up fast. A family breakfast at a Disney restaurant easily runs $15-25 per person. Multiply that across a week for a large group, and you are spending thousands on meals alone. Our fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, premium appliances, an air fryer, and a premium coffee station with an automatic espresso machine, burr grinder, and Keurig. Cook breakfast for the family, pack lunches for the parks, and save that money for experiences instead. Publix and Walmart are less than 5 minutes away for easy grocery runs.

4. An Incredible Game Room for Rest Days

Disney resort hotels offer a pool and maybe an arcade corner. Our vacation home has a full game room with a Pac-Man arcade cabinet loaded with 1,300+ classic games, an air hockey table, ping pong table, foosball table, and premium cornhole boards. Add a PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED, and you have more entertainment than most Disney resorts combined. Rest days at the house are just as fun as park days.

5. Themed Bedrooms That Rival Disney Theming

Disney’s Art of Animation offers themed rooms, but they are small and shared with strangers down the hall. Our vacation home features six individually themed bedrooms: Star Wars with an LED star ceiling that glows like a galaxy, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse, and a luxurious Master Suite. Kids get to fall asleep in their favorite world every single night, and the theming is exclusively yours.

6. Dramatically Lower Cost Per Person

Disney’s Grand Floridian runs $700+ per night for a standard room that sleeps 5. The Contemporary Resort starts around $450/night. Art of Animation Family Suites are $350+ per night for 6 guests. Now consider that a luxury vacation home sleeping 16 guests can be split among multiple families. When you divide the nightly rate across 10-16 guests, each person pays a fraction of what a single Disney resort room would cost. The math is simple: more space, more amenities, less money per person.

7. Free Parking vs. $25/Night at Disney Resorts

Disney charges resort guests $25 per night for self-parking, and valet parking costs even more. Over a week-long stay, that is $175+ just to park your car. At 450 Burma, parking is completely free. We even have a Tesla and a 50-amp EV charger available for electric vehicle owners. No parking fees, no tram rides from distant lots, no hassle.

8. In-Unit Laundry Means Packing Light

Disney resorts have shared laundry facilities where you compete for machines and pay per load. Our vacation home has a private washer and dryer, so you can pack half the luggage and do laundry on your schedule. After a sweaty day at Magic Kingdom, throw everything in the wash and start fresh the next morning.

9. Real Privacy and Space to Spread Out

In a Disney resort, you share hallways, elevators, pools, and dining areas with thousands of other guests. A vacation home gives your group the entire property. Enjoy morning coffee on the outdoor patio under the pergola with dual premium fans, relax on the luxury outdoor sectional, or dine al fresco under patio string lights. The property is in the gated Encore at Reunion West community, offering peace and security. It is your home away from home with no strangers next door.

10. Prime Location Just 15 Minutes from Disney World

One of the biggest arguments for Disney resorts is proximity to the parks. But 450 Burma is only 15 minutes from Disney World, 25 minutes from Universal Studios, 20 minutes from SeaWorld, 5 minutes from Island H2O Live water park, and just 30 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO). You are close to everything without paying the Disney resort premium. Plus, our smart home features including keyless smart locks, smart thermostats, smart lights, and USB-C outlets throughout the home make your stay seamless and modern.

The Bottom Line

Disney resort hotels sell the magic of convenience, but a luxury vacation home at 450 Burma St delivers more space, more amenities, more privacy, and a dramatically lower cost per person. With AT&T High-Speed Fiber internet (1 Gbps), Wi-Fi 7 Mesh with backup 5G, and every modern comfort you can imagine, this is not your average vacation rental. It is a resort-quality experience with the privacy of your own home.

- Journey Into Imagination with Figment – A quirky, colorful ride starring the beloved purple dragon. Kids adore Figment.
EPCOT Seasonal Festivals

- EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival (spring) – Stunning topiaries, outdoor kitchens, and garden activities for kids.

Pro Tips for EPCOT with Kids
- Bring a stroller – EPCOT is the largest Disney World theme park and involves a lot of walking. We keep strollers at 450 Burma that guests can use for their park days.

- Kidcot Fun Stops – Free activity stations in each World Showcase pavilion where kids can color and collect stamps. Great way to keep them engaged.
