Reunion Resort is one of the most popular vacation communities near Disney World, with 3 championship golf courses, a 5-acre water park, and 7 on-site restaurants. But if you are traveling with a large group of 10 or more, finding a home inside Reunion with enough space is tough. Most Reunion rentals are 3-bedroom condos built for small families.
The better option: book a large private pool villa at ChampionsGate or Windsor Island, both just minutes away. You get 8 to 10 bedrooms, a private pool, game rooms, and a theater, all while staying in the same corridor as Reunion Resort, 10 to 25 minutes from every Disney park.
Here are the best homes for your group.
Why the Reunion Resort Area Is Perfect for Large Groups
The stretch along I-4 Exit 58, where Reunion Resort and ChampionsGate sit side by side, is one of the best locations for group trips near Disney. Here is what makes it work:
- 10 to 25 minutes from every Disney park. Animal Kingdom is the closest at roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Magic Kingdom is the farthest at about 20 to 25 minutes. Reunion Resort runs a shuttle to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios ($8 per person for most guests, complimentary for Platinum resort members).
- Reunion Resort amenities nearby. The 5-acre water park with a 1,000-foot lazy river, 8 pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and dining options from rooftop steaks to poolside tacos are all within a short drive of ChampionsGate and Windsor Island homes.
- Groceries and dining within 5 minutes. Publix, Walmart, and a dozen restaurants sit along ChampionsGate Boulevard and US-27. Groups cooking breakfast at the villa or grabbing pizza after a park day never have to drive far.
- Gated, secure communities. Both ChampionsGate and Windsor Island are gated resort communities with their own pools, waterparks, and 24-hour security.
Best Homes for 10+ Guests (with Private Pool)
Every home below has a private pool, a full kitchen, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms to keep a large group comfortable. All are managed by FunStay Homes with direct booking, no hidden fees, and a dedicated local team.
For the Biggest Groups (12 to 15 Guests): Windsor Island 10BR Villas
Luxury 10BR Windsor Island Home, Pool, Game Room
The largest home in the FunStay portfolio. 15 guests, 8 full bathrooms (no morning lines), a dedicated game room, and a private pool. Ideal for multi-family trips or friend group vacations where everyone wants their own space.
Windsor Island | 10BR Luxury Haven + Game Room
Another 10-bedroom layout with a game room and private pool. Slightly smaller max capacity at 13 guests, which means more breathing room per person. Great for a group that wants extra space over maximum headcount.
Windsor Island Luxury 10BR Villa with Pool/Spa
Same 10-bedroom floor plan with a spa added to the pool deck. Perfect for groups that want to unwind after long park days. The spa seats 4 to 6 comfortably.
For Groups of 10 to 13: ChampionsGate 8BR Villas
These ChampionsGate villas are roughly 2 miles from Reunion Resort’s main gate. Most include a private pool, game room, and home theater.
Luxury 8BR ChampionsGate Villa w/ Pool and Theater
The full package. A dedicated game room keeps teens and kids busy while adults relax by the pool. The home theater is a hit on non-park evenings. At 13 guests, it handles most group trips comfortably.
ChampionsGate Spacious 8BR Villa, Pool/Spa
Pool and spa combo without the theater. A solid pick for groups that prioritize outdoor relaxation over indoor entertainment. Five bathrooms means roughly 1 per every 2.5 guests.
For Families with Kids: ChampionsGate Fun Villa
ChampionsGate Spacious 8BR Villa, Pool/Spa
Three themed bedrooms (Avengers, Star Wars, Princess) make this a standout for families traveling with children. Six full bathrooms for 6 bedrooms means no sharing. The private pool keeps everyone entertained between park visits.
Every home above is available for direct booking through FunStay Homes. No middleman fees, local support, and flexible cancellation.
How Close Are These Homes to Reunion Resort and Disney?
ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort share the same I-4 exit. Windsor Island is a short drive south on US-27. All three communities put you in the same pocket of Osceola County, within easy reach of every major park.

| ChampionsGate | Animal Kingdom | 11 mi | 15 to 20 min |
| ChampionsGate | Magic Kingdom | 14 mi | 20 to 25 min |

What Every Large Group Home Should Have
Not all large vacation homes near Disney are built the same. Before booking, make sure the home checks these boxes:
- Private pool (not shared). Community pools are fine as extras, but a group of 10+ needs its own pool. Every home listed above has one.
- At least 1 bathroom per 3 guests. Morning routines with 12 people and 2 bathrooms will test any friendship. Aim for 1 bathroom per 2 to 3 guests.
- Game room or theater. Park days are exhausting. A game room or theater gives people something to do on rest days without leaving the house.
- Full kitchen with dining space. Cooking group breakfasts and dinners at the villa can save hundreds on dining over a week-long trip.
- Enough parking. Large groups often bring 2 to 3 cars. Confirm the driveway or garage handles that.
- Resort community amenities. A clubhouse pool, lazy river, or waterpark gives the group overflow options beyond the home’s private pool.
Large Home vs. Multiple Hotel Rooms: The Math
A group of 12 guests would need 4 hotel rooms near Disney. At $200 to $250 per night per room, that is $800 to $1,000 per night, with no pool, no kitchen, and no shared living space.
An 8-bedroom villa with a private pool, game room, and full kitchen typically runs $350 to $550 per night depending on season. That is roughly $30 to $45 per person per night, compared to $65 to $85 per person for hotel rooms.
The savings add up fast over a 5 to 7 night stay, especially when you factor in meals cooked at the villa instead of eating out for every meal.
