Which community

[ellie]

Highway 27 is a great place to stay. It is in a beautiful area, with lovely countryside on your doorstep, such as Lake Louisa State Park, but with a huge number of brand new shops and restaurants close by the junction of the 192 and the 27, and further north and south. This area offers great convenience, plus you can get away from all the hustle and bustle. There are some fantastic communities here and getting about is so easy. You will certainly be spoilt for choice!

We are situated at the junction of the 192 and the 27, and since the opening of the new Highway 429 which goes directly into Disney,and which is just 3 miles from here, you can be at the gates of Disney in no time at all, as you only go one exit (approx. one mile) and you are there, very close to Animal Kingdom and all the other parks. The beauty of this road is that it is almost completely empty as few people have found it yet, and getting out of the parks at night via this route is amazingly easy - we normally have the road to ourselves.

As for getting to Universal, that is also very easy, as you can pick up the Interstate 4.

Hope you have a great time choosing, and I wish you a fantastic holiday in Orlando.

There are also some great communities just off I-4 exit 58 Champions Gate that have brilliant access to all Orlando has to offer, Lake Wilson Preserve, Thousand Oaks, Reunion, Sandy Ridge, Terrace Ridge, Town Center, are those that spring to mind, apologies for those I've missed.

Happy selecting [cheers]

As others have said the area of H27 is just as convenient as those on the 192 for the parks like Sea World etc andalso is so close to the I4 that it is possible to get to the beaches of the Atlantic or Gulf coast in just over an hour so you have a vast area to explore.
We were last there at Christmas but even since then we have heard of severall more shops and restaurants being opened in the vicinity and cant wait to get back at Christmas to explore.

Thank you.

Now I need to sit down with a coffee and big bar of chocolate and work my way through all the responses I've received from villa owners

I can think of worse things! [msnwink] If you have a lot of replies you will need one of them huge Cadbury bars!

Most of the properties on this site meet the 20 - 30 mins to Universal. What you should concentrate on are the facilities and villa itself. Does it meet your needs etc.

Enjoy eating the choc bar

I'm on Tuscan Ridge on 27...last visit I found it quicker to get to Sea World etc than normal...and we were there Easter time so the roads were busy...I4 seemed to flow more...lack of road works...we go to IOA and Universal most days just to eat...

Hi
We have just returned from Orlando a week ago.[msncry]
We had a fantastic time.
We stayed on Sandy Ridge, not far from Champions Gate.
We found the location central to everything, and very easy to get onto the I4.
We have stayed in villa's for many years, for us this was the best location so far.

We did spend some time on the US 27 this holiday, there is a big Walmart supercenter and plenty of shops,with many new ones being built.
It is hard to decide where to stay, but to me the planning....... its part of the fun...........
Good luck
Ellie
