Is Encore Resort at Reunion part of Reunion Resort?
No. They are separate properties that share the Reunion name, each with its own address and website. This holiday stays at Encore, on Fairfax Drive, while Reunion Resort sits on Gathering Drive.
Reunion Resort owns the Palmer, Watson and Nicklaus golf courses. Golf is not part of this package, although Encore's team can help reserve tee times there. If Encore is not the right fit, compare Windsor Hills or our other Orlando villa holidays.
How do you get to the parks without a car?
Disney is the closest of the big parks. SeaWorld and Universal each take 20 to 25 minutes by road, according to the resort.
Encore runs shuttles to the major parks, and seats must be reserved through its concierge. The shuttle suits a park day with a fixed start and finish. For late fireworks, a taxi or rideshare back lets you choose when to leave.
Flights from the UK, and 7 nights or 14?
Nonstop flights from London Heathrow and Gatwick to Orlando take about 9 hours 40 minutes westbound and about 8 hours home. Florida is normally five hours behind the UK, so expect early wake-ups for the first few mornings. Ask us which UK airports are available for your dates.
Seven nights gives you two to four park days, with a pool day in between and time lost to the flights at each end. Fourteen nights suits a group covering Disney and Universal at a slower pace, with room for a day trip to the coast. Our guide to planning Orlando with children helps you split the parks across either length.
When is the best time to go?
Orlando's wet season usually runs from late May to mid-October, with hot, humid days and short afternoon thunderstorms. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from 1 June to 30 November, with activity peaking between mid-August and mid-October.
From mid-October to April the air is drier and park days are more comfortable. UK school holidays carry the highest prices, so term-time dates stretch a group budget further.
