Finding Your Perfect Family Vacation Home: Encore Resort or Reunion Resort?
Both Encore Resort and Reunion Resort are luxury gated communities just minutes from Disney, perfect for families looking for spacious villas with resort-style amenities. But which one fits your vacation style best? Let’s dive into the key differences — so you can pick the ideal base for your Orlando adventure.
🏊 Pools & Water Parks: Which Splash Will Your Kids Love More?

Reunion Resort boasts a massive 5-acre water park exclusive to its guests, complete with lazy rivers, towering slides, splash playgrounds, and poolside dining.
-
Encore Resort features a newer but smaller resort-style pool with splash zones, cabanas, and a hot tub area—perfect for families who prefer a quieter pool experience.
Both resorts have heated pools and kid-friendly areas, but Reunion’s water park is the clear winner if your kids love slides and big water fun.
