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.

Beautiful property. The pool and game room were definitely the best part of the whole stay! The pool was very clean, someone came twice in the week we were there to clean it. The kids had a blast in the game room! There was plenty of room for everyone. The property manager was quick to respond to all our questions. We will definitely come back. We made a lot of memories with the other family we were with!

The house was incredible , the pool and hot tub was a warm and cool sensation , the bedrooms were as the pictures showed. Extremely comfortable and charming for the kids. The game room was an extra touch and very nice for family entertainment. The kids enjoyed the house and pool as much as Disney World.

Perfect place for our family
The house was exactly as described in the listing. Lots of room for 7 of us. Well equipped kitchen for cooking. Very clean. We loved using the pool after the long days at Disney and Universal Parks. Great location to restaurants and grocery stores. The game room was a family favorite! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend our family and friends to book this house.

Awesome family vacation. Everything was great for our family of five including an almost 2, 4, and 7yo, and a set of grandparents. Plenty of space and great resort amenities and location.

Fun Experience, This was a fantastic property. The house was great. The only negative was we couldn't get the pool or hot tub to work properly, but the management company refunded our money. Florida Premiere Rentals is a 1st class company and they did what was right. Thank you.
