Encore Resort and Reunion Resort are both excellent choices for families planning an Orlando vacation near Disney World—but they're built for different kinds of trips. Encore Resort sits closest to Disney World, making it ideal if the parks are your main draw. It features resort-style pools with water features, a clubhouse with a games room and movie theater, and townhomes and villas ranging from 2 to 6 bedrooms. The resort leans into family fun with constant activity and a more intimate, relaxed atmosphere. Reunion Resort anchors central Orlando with three championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and Jack Nicklaus. It offers five community pools plus a water park with a lazy river, upscale dining options, and a wider range of homes from 2-bedroom townhomes to sprawling 8+ bedroom luxury villas. The pace is more relaxed, the setting more expansive. Choose Encore if your kids live for water slides and you want to be fifteen minutes from Magic Kingdom. Choose Reunion if you want a more complete resort experience with championship golf, upscale dining, and a quieter setting that balances theme park days with genuine downtime. Both deliver the space and comfort your family needs—just in different ways.
