i will be visiting orlando for the 1st time in may along with wife + 2 children (3 & 1.5) + inlaws
I was wondeing if there is any community that
a) Is walking distance to pub/restaurants/supermarket
b) A communal pool that has a childs section
Also not sure if there is any merit doing any parks or are the children too young . Also if was to buy say a 5 day hopper pass for disney, could i uses the pass for say 3 visits and the fatherlaw uses for the other 2 visits
any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Kev there are a lot of communities that are close to shops, bars and supermarkets.
Your fingerprint is taken at the theme parks, so only the person who's ticket it is can use it.

Hi Kev, We went to Orlando two years ago with my little ones who were the same age as yours are now. We only got a one day pass for Magic Kingdom and entered the park early for breakfast and to take pictures without the crowds. My 3-year-old loved all of the characters, but my 15-month-old was overwhelmed and a little scared. They both had a great time, but we tried to do the whole park before going back to the villa for a rest. By the time we did get back, everyone was so exhausted that plans to go back in the evening for the fireworks fell through.
As long as you take it slow and don't try to cram everything in as soon as you get there, you should be fine. I see that you plan on getting a five-day pass, so you will have plenty of time to see everything.
We stayed at Legacy Park in Davenport, and there is a little shopping centre a short way away. This year we shall be staying at Highlands Reserve, and the same shops will definitely be withing walking distance.

Hi Kev, May is lovely in Florida, we are there up to May 9th as well, the estates of Formosa Gardens,Oak Island Cove and Harbour,Indian Creek and Rolling hills are some three miles west of disney and three quarters of a miles roughly from the Fromosa Shopping Centre which has a supermarket,7 or eight restaurants, two with a bar in,medical centre, atm etc.
None of these have a community pool, in the same area slightly further away are the estates of Windsor Hills,Emerald Island and sunset lakes all of which have a community pool.
There are many more areas with the faciliities you require,I only know the area where our villa is located but am sure that some of our fellow owners will also be able to suggest to you whre would best suit your family.
