The Resort

What Reunion Resort Actually Is

Reunion Resort is a 2,300-acre private gated community about 6 miles from Walt Disney World’s main entrance. It’s not a hotel. It’s a resort community made up of private vacation homes, villas, and condos — all with access to shared amenities that rival anything you’d find at a major hotel. The resort has three signature golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson. A full waterpark with slides, lazy river, and zero-entry pool. Multiple resort pools. A spa. Restaurants. Fitness centers. Tennis and pickleball courts. A Disney shuttle. And 24-hour gated security. For families visiting Orlando, it’s the best of both worlds: the privacy and space of a vacation home with the amenities of a full resort.

Disney Proximity

15 Minutes From the Magic Kingdom Gate

The drive from Reunion Resort to Walt Disney World’s main toll plaza is roughly 6 miles — about 12 to 15 minutes in normal traffic. That distance changes how a Disney trip works for families. You can do a morning session at the park, come back to the house for lunch and pool time during the midday heat, then return for the evening shows and fireworks. No hotel shuttle schedules. No navigating massive resort lobbies with tired kids. You leave when you want, come back when you want. Universal Studios is about 25 minutes. LEGOLAND Florida is 25 minutes in the other direction. SeaWorld is 20 minutes. You’re centrally positioned for everything Orlando has to offer.

Amenities

What’s Included With Your Stay

Every guest staying at a Reunion Resort property gets full access to the resort’s shared amenities. That includes the waterpark with multiple slides and a lazy river, all three resort pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, a driving range, mini golf, and the Disney shuttle service. The waterpark alone is worth noting — it’s a full facility with a splash zone for younger kids, waterslides for teens, and adult lounging areas. Most hotels in the Orlando area charge separately for waterpark access or have nothing comparable on property. Dining options on property include multiple restaurants and a grab-and-go market. There’s also a full-service spa for parents looking to decompress between park days.

Where to Stay

Why The Luxe Palmilla Is the Right Property for Your Group

There are hundreds of vacation rentals inside Reunion Resort. The Luxe Palmilla was designed specifically for larger groups who want something beyond a standard rental. 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms means no one is sharing a bathroom. The private heated pool with waterfall feature and hot tub means you have your own outdoor retreat separate from the resort pools. The full arcade, movie theater, and second-floor gaming lounge means the kids are never bored regardless of what the weather’s doing. Two master suites with private bathrooms make it work for multi-generational groups where grandparents need their own quiet space. Five king bedrooms and four quad bunk rooms handle every combination of adults and kids. This is the property you rent when you want the trip to be unforgettable, not just functional.

Come See Why We Fell in Love With This Place

We discovered Reunion Resort the same way most families do — searching for something better than a hotel for a big trip. We loved it so much we bought a house here. If you’re planning a family trip to Orlando, we’d love to show you around.
