Summer 2015 Villa Reserved!

This year's villa selection was more difficult than previous trips. The Villa we planned to use in Indian Creek was booked. Worse, all the Villas in Indian Creek that we would want were booked too!

We had to search the broader area. We looked throughout Kissimmee, Four Corners, and Davenport area. We went as far out at Sandy Ridge looking at Villas.

We looked at a hundred villas through online services, and carefully examined a thousand pictures. We scrutinized every detail, scoring the villas based on things important to us.

We then took the highest scoring villas and emailed the owners to confirm pricing and availability. That narrowed the field of choices.

We then called the remaining four villa owners to talk about their Villas: how is the pest control done, tell us about the management company, how are deposit arranged, and any other questions we had.

We printed off details about the two remaining villas, laid out the information on the dinning room table, and made a pro and con list.

Last summer I was thrilled to find a four bedroom pool house villa for five weeks for around $97 per night. This year we found a five bedroom pool house in Four Corners for five weeks for $108 per night.

I am disappointed about the price increase. However, the price increase is my fault because I waited too long before looking for a villa. This year's villa is larger than last year's, but is perhaps ten minutes further away from Disney.

It is very exciting to be able to cross this important task off our list!
