Orlando is abundant with hotels and motels of all types and levels. Accommodation prices in Orlando hotels are cheaper than most other places in the USA.
But there are much more tempting and recommended accommodation options for families in Orlando: living in an apartment or a villa.
Living in a villa for a family is more cost-effective than staying in a hotel. You can live in a dream villa with 3-5 bedrooms, a living room, a family room, a large and equipped kitchen, a dining area, private covered parking, and the main attraction: a clean and well-maintained private swimming pool with a patio featuring a garden table and chairs, a gas grill, and various other garden accessories. The private yard is covered with a fine mesh that prevents mosquitoes and other insects from entering.

In the winter months, the pool is heated. Some villas have additional attractions, such as: a jacuzzi in one of the bathrooms or an outdoor jacuzzi near the pool, a game room full of games, or a variety of Disney movies on tapes and DVDs. Some villas have a billiard table, air hockey, or a foosball table.
Every villa has several televisions, a VCR, DVD player, sophisticated stereo systems, and more.
Each villa has at least two spacious and pampering bathrooms, and sometimes three. There is no need to queue for a shower or to brush your teeth in the morning when you are in a hurry to get to the parks.
In other words, for the cost of two motel rooms, you can live in comfort, with each child having their own room and parents having their own pampering kingdom: a giant bedroom with a walk-in closet and a large bathroom. The American dream come true...
The villa owners have thought of every detail, and many of them have designed the children's rooms inspired by Disney movies. The rooms are full of pictures and accessories. Regarding the number of beds and spaces in these villas, at least 6 people can stay in each villa, and often 8-12 people in great comfort. Thus, if two families are traveling together, they can rent one villa, live comfortably, and pay a very attractive price.
The houses are modern, equipped, and furnished. All that's left for you to do is go shopping at a nearby supermarket, and you're all set. This way, you can eat breakfast at home before heading out to the many attractions Orlando has to offer and save time and money.
After a busy and exhausting day at the crowded theme parks, there is nothing better than arriving at a spacious home, having fun in the private pool, and relaxing, each in their own room.
All homes have a central air conditioning system, cable TVs, a private phone line with free local calls (meaning: if you have a laptop, you can connect to the internet for free), a washing machine, and a dryer (no need to look for laundromats and drop in many coins).
Each house is located in a quiet and safe villa neighborhood located among many other similar villa neighborhoods in several suburbs near the Disney parks.
In each neighborhood, there are playgrounds for children and a public pool for all residents of the neighborhood (for those interested in a larger pool than the villa offers, though you likely won't need it), and in many neighborhoods, there are also tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts. Many neighborhoods have a central clubhouse with a well-equipped gym.
The drive to Disney parks takes between 5 to 15 minutes (depending on the location of the villa neighborhood where you stay), while to International Drive (where most of Orlando's attractions are concentrated, such as Universal, SeaWorld, the "Wet 'n Wild" water park, and plenty of other small attractions and, of course, shopping) it takes about 15-25 minutes.
There are not many other places in the USA or Europe where you can live in such a high standard of housing at such attractive prices. The only disadvantage of these villas is that after living in them, it's hard to get used to staying in motels and hotels later in the trip...
