House Or Rental
If you're traveling with a larger group, extended family, or just prefer a more home-like setting, Airbnb and other vacation rental options around the Walt Disney World area are a great choice! The surrounding neighborhoods—like Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, and Davenport—offer a wide range of beautiful homes and condos with multiple bedrooms, private pools, and full kitchens, often at great value compared to booking multiple hotel rooms. Why Airbnb Might Be a Great Fit: Space for families or friend groups to stay together Full kitchens for meal prep and snacks Private pools, game rooms, and extra amenities Convenient locations often within 15–30 minutes of Disney Booking Tips: Search near Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, or Kissimmee for the shortest drive Look for homes with great reviews and clear cancellation policies If you plan to visit the parks, we recommend a rental car or checking if your Airbnb offers shuttle options. Whether you're looking for extra space, privacy, or just a fun group experience, vacation rentals can be a perfect fit for your magical stay!
Rental Car
For guests flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO), Budget Rent a Car is a convenient and reliable option for transportation during your stay. Budget’s rental counter is located directly inside the airport, and cars can be picked up from the on-site parking garage, making it easy to get on your way to the magic! Reservation Tip: We recommend booking your car in advance through Budget.com for the best rates and availability. Be sure to check for discounts through AAA, AARP, Costco, or your credit card provider. Budget Location at MCO: Terminal A & B (Ground Transportation Level) Open 24/7 Whether you're staying on or off Disney property, having a rental car can be helpful for getting around Orlando, exploring nearby attractions, or stocking up on essentials. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort and don’t need a car every day, ride shares (like Uber/Lyft) and Disney transportation are also great options!
