Located only 3 miles from Disney’s main gate it is the perfect place for your dream vacation, with it’s large selection of accommodation from 3 bedroom townhomes through to 6 bedroom Windsor Hills vacation rentals.

Below is information about the resort and community facilities but I wanted to start by giving you an overview of the area and why Windsor Hills is such a good place to book a vacation rental home.

Windsor Hills vacation rentals are some of the most sort after homes in the Orlando area and alway book up quickly mainly because they are newly built. They also have a good bedroom to bathroom ratio offering a 4 bedroom 4 bath and 5 bedroom 5 bath layout which is ideal for families that don’t want to share!

Every vacation rental on Windsor Hills has it’s own private heated pool and spa which is a great place to relax after a long day at the Orlando theme parks. All the Windsor Hills pool areas also have a covered patio area known as a lanai which is great in the summer when you want a bit of shade away from the strong Florida sun. The covered lanai area is also a great place for kids to play without the fear of getting sun burnt, it’s also ideal for alfresco dining anytime of the day.

Celebration Tree Lighting and Snow FallCelebration in Orlando Florida is kicking off the holiday season with there nightly snow fall from Saturday 26th November. On opening night Santa Claus will be there so you still have time to sit on his knee and ask for a present. There will also be strolling carollers, christmas tree lighting at 5.55pm, festive treats and all the local restaurants are open as normal so why not take the kids to enjoy the snow and grab some dinner afterward.

Highly recommended, is the clam chowder at the Boston Market restaurant, but make sure you get extra crackers (mine always get stolen by Claire!).

The Celebration Snow Fall runs daily from the 26th November to 31st December at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm.

There are cushioned surfaces all around for safety and for those in your group opting out it’s still a lot of fun watching others develop their new or expert surfing skills!
