Encore Resort vs. Reunion Resort: Which is Right for Your Family Vacation?

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.


🏠 Villa Styles & Amenities

  • Reunion Resort offers a wide range of villas—from cozy 3-bedroom homes to ultra-luxurious mansions with private pools, movie theaters, and game rooms.

  • Encore Resort focuses on modern, newly-built villas with open-plan layouts and stylish interiors, ideal for families who want contemporary comfort.

Both resorts provide full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and laundry facilities—making it easy to feel at home during your stay.


📍 Location & Access

  • Reunion Resort is about 10–15 minutes from Disney’s main gates, also close to golf courses and local shopping.

  • Encore Resort is slightly closer (around 8–10 minutes), with easy access to US-192, making it handy for trips to Universal and other Orlando attractions.

If proximity to Disney is your priority, Encore might edge out slightly, but both locations are fantastic.


🍽️ Dining & On-Resort Amenities

  • Reunion Resort features upscale dining options, golf courses, tennis courts, and a full-service spa.

  • Encore Resort offers a clubhouse with a restaurant, fitness center, and playground, plus on-site bike rentals for easy family outings.


💡 Our Take: Which Should You Choose?

  • Choose Reunion Resort if you want a bigger resort feel with extensive amenities, golf, and a water park that’s a destination itself.

  • Choose Encore Resort for a newer, more intimate community with easy access to Disney and a quiet, modern vibe.

Either way, Florida Premier Rentals has stunning villas in both resorts — ready to welcome your family for the perfect Orlando vacation.

Amazingly good communication with the hostess, Karen. The home we stayed in was very clean, very convenient, and had much-appreciated plus amenities for our baby grandson.Ease of travel to Disney parks cannot be overstated... a few turns and straight into the parking lot areas. Will definitely look to stay here again.
