Can anyone recommend lodging near Disney that has a full kitchen and is somewhat of a luxury property? Looking for a beautiful swimming pool and tropical setting?

Windsor Palms Resort

We enjoyed the Caribe Royale resort. Very close to Disney. 2BR condo was very comfortable.

We were there in late August and didn't get much time at the pool due to daily afternoon thunderstorms.

There are tons of condo/timeshares in Orlando. Marriott has lots of them & we have stayed at 2....Sabal Palms (located right next to the Orlando World Center resort so you can use all the facilities) & Cypress Harbour--which was a huge cluster of different named timeshare units all run by Marriott & sharing a central large resort center with pool, tiki bar & a "ferry pontoon shuttle" that transports you across a lake to the resort center. Both condos were well kept-HUGE and had full kitchens & very affordable.

Not sure if you have found what you are looking for yet, but we own and Vistana resort and just love it there. There are like 5 pools and so many different activities. You can rent from them or you could find plenty of owners willing to rent. It is a huge resort.

All of my friends take their kids to windsor hills. They go to this website www.magicalvacationhomes.com. I've only heard good things about it. In fact I'm thinking of taking my little guy there too.

Marriott's Grande Viste has just completed a $7mm renovation...
