450 Burma — Luxury Vacation Home Near Disney World

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.

What Encore Resort Amenities Can 450 Burma Guests Use?
If you are considering a stay at 450 Burma, you may be wondering about access to Encore Resort amenities. This is one of the most common questions we receive, and we want to be completely transparent. Here is the honest answer.

The Short Answer

450 Burma is a privately owned vacation home located in the Encore at Reunion West neighborhood. It is not booked through Encore Resort (encorereunion.com). Because of this, guests staying at 450 Burma do not have access to the Encore Resort amenities.

What Amenities Does Encore Resort Offer?

Encore Resort at Reunion (encorereunion.com) is a resort management company that operates within the same gated community. When guests book directly through Encore Resort, they receive access to amenities such as:
- Aqua Park: A large water park with slides, a lazy river, and splash areas
- Fitness center with modern equipment
- On-site restaurants and dining options
- Sports courts for basketball and tennis
- Organized activities and kids programs
- Shuttle service to nearby theme parks
These amenities are reserved exclusively for guests who book and pay through Encore Resort directly. Since 450 Burma is managed by Orange Vacation Homes rather than Encore Resort, our guests cannot use these facilities.

Why We Are Honest About This

We believe in setting the right expectations. Some vacation rental listings in the Encore at Reunion West community are vague about amenity access, which leads to disappointment on arrival. We would rather be upfront so you can plan your vacation accordingly.

What 450 Burma Offers Instead

The good news is that 450 Burma is loaded with its own private amenities, so you genuinely will not feel like you are missing out. Here is what is included with every stay:
- Private heated pool: Your own pool, available anytime without crowds, lines, or shared spaces. Heat it to your preferred temperature.
- Hot tub: Relax after a day at the parks in your private spa.
- Game room: Enjoy arcade games and entertainment without leaving the house.
- Themed bedrooms: Kids will love the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, Magic Kingdom, and Mickey Mouse themed rooms.
- Playground: A private outdoor play area for younger children.
- Tesla EV charger: Charge your electric vehicle overnight at no cost.
- Full kitchen: Save money by cooking meals at home with a fully equipped kitchen.
- 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms: Plenty of space for large families or groups.
Nearby Public Alternatives

Beyond what the house itself offers, there are excellent public attractions and facilities just minutes away:

Island H2O Live! Water Park (about 5 minutes)

If your family wants a full water park experience, Island H2O Live! is located at Margaritaville Resort, just a short drive from 450 Burma. It features thrilling water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and a kids area. Tickets can be purchased online, and it is open seasonally.

Restaurants on US-27 (5 to 10 minutes)

You do not need on-site resort dining when there are dozens of restaurants within a few minutes on US-27. From Japanese hibachi to authentic Mexican food to pizza delivery, you will have plenty of options. Check out our guide to the best restaurants near Encore at Reunion West for specific recommendations.

Reunion Resort Golf Courses (5 minutes)

Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the three championship courses at the nearby Reunion Resort, designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson. These courses are open to the public and located just minutes from the house.

Walt Disney World (15 minutes)

Of course, the biggest attraction in the area is Walt Disney World, which is only about 15 minutes from 450 Burma. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and other major Orlando theme parks are all within a 20 to 30 minute drive.

The Bottom Line

No, 450 Burma guests cannot access the Encore Resort water park, fitness center, restaurants, or other resort amenities. But with a private heated pool, hot tub, game room, themed bedrooms, a playground, and a location just 15 minutes from Disney World, you will have an incredible vacation experience. Many of our returning guests tell us they prefer having their own private amenities over shared resort facilities.

How to Get from Orlando Airport (MCO) to Encore at Reunion West
Planning your trip to 450 Burma in the Encore at Reunion West community? Getting from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Kissimmee is straightforward, and the drive takes about 30 minutes in normal traffic. Here is everything you need to know about driving directions, rental cars, rideshare, and shuttle services.

Driving Directions from MCO to Encore at Reunion West

There are two main routes from Orlando airport to Encore at Reunion West. Both take roughly 30 minutes depending on traffic.

Route 1: Via I-4 West (Free)
1. Exit MCO and follow signs to the 528 West (Beachline Expressway).
2. Merge onto I-4 West toward Tampa.
3. Take Exit 55 for US-27 South toward Haines City.
4. Turn left onto US-27 South.
5. After about 2 miles, turn right onto Reunion Boulevard.
6. Follow signs to Encore at Reunion West and proceed to 450 Burma Road.
Pros: No tolls on I-4. Cons: I-4 traffic can be heavy, especially during rush hour and around the Disney exits.

Route 2: Via FL-417 South (Toll Road)
1. Exit MCO and follow signs to FL-417 South (Central Florida GreeneWay).
2. Continue on FL-417 South, which becomes FL-429.
3. Merge onto I-4 West briefly, then take Exit 55 for US-27 South.
4. Turn left onto US-27 South.
5. Turn right onto Reunion Boulevard.
6. Follow signs to Encore at Reunion West and proceed to 450 Burma Road.
Pros: Often faster and less congested than I-4. Cons: Tolls apply (approximately $3 to $5 each way). Most toll plazas are cashless, so make sure your rental car has a SunPass or toll transponder, or expect a toll-by-plate charge.

Rental Car Tips

A rental car is the most convenient option for exploring the Kissimmee and Orlando area. Here are some tips:
- Book early for the best rates, especially during peak season (summer, holidays, and spring break).
- Ask about toll transponders. Many rental companies offer SunPass or a similar device for a daily fee. Alternatively, you can purchase a SunPass Mini at most gas stations and Publix stores for about $5.
- Consider an EV. If you rent an electric vehicle, 450 Burma has a Tesla EV charger right at the house, so you can charge overnight for free while you sleep.
- Free parking at the house. 450 Burma has a spacious driveway with free parking, so you will never pay for overnight parking like you would at a hotel.
Rideshare Options (Uber and Lyft)

Uber and Lyft both operate at MCO and are a popular choice for families who do not want to rent a car.
- Pickup location: Follow signs at MCO to the designated rideshare pickup area on Level 2 of the Terminal C garage.
- Estimated cost: $25 to $45 one way to Encore at Reunion West, depending on demand and time of day.
- Estimated time: About 30 minutes.
- Tip: If you have a large group or lots of luggage, request an Uber XL or Lyft XL for a larger vehicle.
Keep in mind that without a car, you will need to use rideshare for everything during your trip, including getting to the theme parks. This can add up quickly for a week-long stay.

Airport Shuttle Services

Several shuttle companies offer shared and private transfers from MCO to the Kissimmee and Reunion area:
- Mears Connect: The official ground transportation provider at MCO. Offers shared shuttles and private vehicles. Book in advance at mearsconnect.com.
- Sunshine Flyer: A themed shuttle service with buses styled like vintage trains and steamships. Kids enjoy the experience. Book at sunshineflyer.com.
- Private car services: Several companies offer private SUV or van transfers that can accommodate large families and luggage. Prices typically range from $80 to $150 one way.
Free Parking and Tesla EV Charger at 450 Burma

Unlike hotels and resorts that charge $20 to $35 per night for parking, 450 Burma offers completely free parking in the driveway. There is room for multiple vehicles. If you are driving a Tesla or another electric vehicle compatible with the Tesla connector, the home also features a Tesla EV charger so you can charge up overnight at no extra cost.

10 Tips for Planning a Family Vacation to Kissimmee and Orlando
Kissimmee and Orlando are among the top family vacation destinations in the world — and for good reason. With Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, beautiful weather, and endless activities, there is something for everyone. Here are 10 tips to help you plan the perfect family trip.

1. Visit During Off-Peak Seasons

The most expensive and crowded times to visit Orlando are summer (June-August), spring break, Thanksgiving week, and Christmas through New Year. For shorter lines and lower prices, consider visiting in January, early February, late September, or early November. You will get the same great weather without the peak-season prices.

2. Stay in a Vacation Home Instead of a Hotel

A vacation home like 450 Burma gives you more space, a private pool, a full kitchen, and room for everyone at a fraction of the per-person cost of a hotel. For families or groups, the savings can be hundreds of dollars over a week-long stay.

3. Buy Park Tickets in Advance

Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld all offer discounts when you buy tickets online in advance. Multi-day passes are significantly cheaper per day than single-day tickets. Plan your park days ahead of time and buy tickets as early as possible.

4. Cook Breakfast and Pack Lunches

Dining at the parks is expensive — $15-25 per person for a quick-service meal. Save hundreds by making breakfast at your vacation rental and packing sandwiches and snacks. Publix and Walmart are both within 5 minutes of 450 Burma.

5. Build in Rest Days

You do not have to go to a theme park every day. Plan at least one or two rest days to recharge. With a private pool, game room, and playground at your vacation home, the kids will not even miss the parks.

6. Use Rope Drop Strategy

Arrive at the parks right when they open (rope drop) to ride the most popular attractions with minimal waits. You can often knock out 3-4 major rides in the first 90 minutes. Then take a break during the hot midday hours and return in the evening.

7. Rent a Car

While rideshare works, a rental car gives you flexibility to visit grocery stores, restaurants, and attractions on your own schedule. 450 Burma offers free parking for multiple vehicles and even a Tesla EV charger if you rent an electric vehicle.

8. Do Not Skip the Water Parks

Island H2O Live! is just 5 minutes from 450 Burma and offers a full day of fun. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Universal’s Volcano Bay are also excellent options and often less crowded than the main parks.

9. Explore Beyond the Theme Parks

Kissimmee and Orlando have so much more than theme parks. Check out Disney Springs for free shopping and dining, Celebration Town Center for a charming walkable downtown, or Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures for a Florida wildlife experience.

10. Book Your Accommodation Direct

If you find a vacation home you love on Airbnb or VRBO, check if the owner has a direct booking website. You can often save 10-15% by booking direct and avoiding platform service fees. At 450 Burma, you can book direct and put those savings toward your vacation.
