ideal forDisney-first families: 3 miles from the gate, you can come home midday for lunch and the kids' nap — and still make the fireworks.
Windsor Hills is the classic for Disney trips without a hotel: 3 miles to the Maingate — no other large resort gets this close. The clubhouse is huge, with a zero-entry pool, water slide, movie theater, arcade and mini golf, and the resort itself is established, leafy and beloved by families who return every year. Because it's a mature community, each home has its own personality — that's why our listings show real photos of everything. It stays busy year-round (fame has its price), but the location repays every minute.
