Where is Windsor Hills Resort Orlando, and which "Windsor" is it?
Windsor Hills Resort is at 2600 North Old Lake Wilson Road, and Orlando International Airport is 30 to 35 minutes away by road.
Check the resort name on any quote you compare. Windsor at Westside and Windsor Island are separate resorts, sold by other UK operators under similar names. For a different gated community, look at our villa holiday at Encore Resort at Reunion, or browse our Orlando villa holidays.
How do you get to the parks from a Windsor Hills villa?
The included transfers cover the airport journeys only, and the resort does not run its own shuttle to the parks. Plan your daily transport before you travel, and car hire gives you the most freedom.
A full UK photocard licence is valid for driving in the US. The FCDO says a 1949 international driving permit may also be needed, and you can only buy one in the UK. Without a car, taxis and rideshare apps reach the Disney parks quickly, though fares add up across several park days. Our guide to Orlando villas with flights from the UK compares transport by area.

Temperatures are Orlando's 1991–2020 averages from NOAA. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November, so pick insurance that covers weather disruption. In midwinter an unheated pool feels chilly, so October, November and May give the best mix of warm water and lower prices.
How to pace 7 nights
The non-stop flight from the UK to Orlando takes about 9½ to 10 hours, and Florida is normally five hours behind the UK. Keep the first full day easy. Seven nights then fits four park days with pool days between them. Our Orlando planner for families helps match parks to children's ages.
