I'm not sure exactly how many times we've been to Florida. Between '93 and 2000, I think possibly 6 times, and possibly 3 or 4 times between '83 and '93. I started going with my parents almost 30 years ago, and as my own family has grown up, I've taken them as often as possible. In all that time, I've only stayed in a hotel in Orlando once (the first time with my parents). Every time we've been to Orlando since, has been in a Villa. We've stayed in hotels and condos in other parts of Florida (actually, we've never had a Villa outside of Orlando come to think of it).

You just can't compare a hotel with a Villa and for the life of me, I can't think of any reason why you would stay in any other form of accommodation in Orlando. I have four kids, ranging from 2 to 14, and we need the flexibility to put the younger ones to bed while staying up ourselves with the older ones. We use the villa like we use our own home and it makes all the difference to the holiday.
