This was our first stay off Disney property and we weren't sure if we would enjoy it since we had been spoiled to staying on site. The grounds of Reunion are beautiful. Even though we rented through VRBO the staff at Reunion were more than willing to help us with any questions we had. We also enjoyed our first dinner on site which was not only convenient but really tasty. The pools are clean and well maintained.
If you are trying to decide if you want to stay off site---DO IT! We were concerned about traffic, how difficult it would be to get out of parks, etc. From our past experience staying in Disney and having to catch busses at the parks and everyone cramming into a bus and possibly making multiple stops.......this was so much better!!! IT did not take us long at all to get to our car and get out of the parks. You simply walk out of the park and catch the tram and they take you to "area" in which you parked. I cannot explain how nice it was to get in your own car and head home.
Regarding this specific condo, it was everything that was advertised. Here is a breakdown of our experience:
BEDROOM: Plenty of sheets, comfortable beds/pillows
BATH: Plenty of towels, bring your own shampoo/conditioner, soap (there is a very small soap provided but no shampoo/conditioner), hairdryers in each bathroom
KITCHEN: Well stocked. They provide dishwashing soap, 1 pod for the dishwasher and 1 roll of paper towels.
WASHER/DRYER: bring laundry detergent and dryer sheets. They provide 1 box of detergent.
TRAVEL TO ACTIVITIES: 15 minutes to Disney, 30 min to Universal (I-4), 25 min to Seaworld (I-4). All of these attractions are close, the traffic and congestion make the travel times longer.
CONVIENCE: CVS, Public, McDonalds--1.6 miles away, Walmart--2.5 miles, Perkins Restaurant--3 miles. We loved having access to all of this. Very easy to navigate the area.
This is a well stocked condo. As with any rental there are usually things you "find" and have to contact the owner about and we could not have been happier with Toby. He was great to deal with and very on top of things. He responded to us very quickly. We would rent this unit again in the future.
