Rooftop sushi, championship golf, waterslides for the kids, and six FunStay vacation homes just 10 minutes from Magic Kingdom.
Six miles from Disney World, there’s a gated resort where you can eat sushi 11 stories up, watch your kids wipe out on waterslides, and tee off on a course Jack Nicklaus designed. All before lunch.
That’s Reunion Resort. It sits at 7593 Gathering Drive in Kissimmee, FL 34747, spread across 2,300 acres of golf fairways, pools, restaurants, and vacation homes. FunStay Homes manages vacation rental properties inside the gates. And if your family wants more than just a place to crash after the parks, this is where you book.
Why Families Choose Reunion Resort Vacation Homes Near Disney
The 10-minute drive to Disney’s main entrance is the obvious draw. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about 30 minutes out without traffic. But families keep coming back for what happens when they’re not in the parks.
Reunion is a gated community with 24-hour security, so your kids can bike the sidewalks without you trailing behind like a nervous helicopter. The resort runs its own shuttle to the Disney parks, which means no rental car standoff over who’s driving. And unlike a hotel room, your Reunion Resort vacation home has a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and actual space to spread out after a day of standing in line at Space Mountain.
Compared to ChampionsGate or Windsor Hills, Reunion goes bigger on dining and recreation. More restaurants, more pools, more to do. It’s the most “full resort” experience you’ll find in a vacation home community near Disney.
Best Amenities at Reunion Resort Orlando
The Seven Eagles pool area is where most families set up camp. Splash park with slides for the kids, bocce ball, ping pong, a fitness center, and enough lounge chairs that you won’t be racing to claim one at 7 a.m.
More pools are scattered across the resort’s neighborhoods, so the one nearest your unit is rarely packed. Two playgrounds keep little kids busy. Tennis and pickleball courts handle the competitive parents. And there’s a mini golf course ($14 adults, $8 kids 4 to 12) for when you need a low-stakes family activity that doesn’t require a theme park queue.
If your crew likes a challenge, try FootGolf on the Tom Watson Course ($30 adults, $15 kids under 15, cart included). Soccer meets golf. More fun than it sounds.
Then there’s the real flex: three championship Reunion Resort golf courses designed by legends. Book tee times through the Reunion Resort golf club.

Where to Eat at Reunion Resort Kissimmee
Seven restaurants plus a full Starbucks in the Grande lobby. You won’t need to leave the resort for dinner unless you want to.
The one everyone talks about is Eleven, a rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar on the 11th floor. The food is great. The view is better. On clear nights you can watch Disney fireworks from your table without fighting for a spot in the park. If you’re sneaking in a date night, this is the spot.
Reunion Resort dining also includes:
7593 Chophouse
OpenTable Diners’ Choice winner. Go with the ribeye.
Grande Lobby Sushi Bar
Something lighter when you’re done with theme park junk food
The Clubhouse
Casual burgers after 18 holes on the Palmer/Watson courses
Traditions
Southern comfort food at the Nicklaus Clubhouse. Hits after a long park day.
Drifters Bar & Grille
Flatbreads and frozen drinks while the kids are still in the water
The Cove Bar & Grille
Same vibe, poolside at Seven Eagles
