Reunion Resort

How far is Reunion Resort from Disney?

Reunion sits just south of Walt Disney World — about 15 minutes (roughly 10 miles) from the park gates by car, with quick access via I-4 and US-192. That's close enough for an easy morning rope-drop run and a midday break back at the pool, but far enough to escape the on-property crowds and prices at night. You'll want a rental car here, as it's off Disney's transportation network.

What Reunion is like

It's a large, gated vacation community of villas and pool homes wrapped around golf and resort amenities — quieter and more polished than the busy US-192 strip. Inside the gates you'll typically find:

• Multiple community pools (and, seasonally, a water park with a lazy river and slides).
• Golf — Reunion is known for its courses.
• Restaurants and a calmer, residential feel — good for unwinding after a 14-hour park day.

The Reunion Resort water park

One of Reunion's best perks for families is its water park — a multi-level pool complex with a lazy river and water slides. On a non-park day it's an easy way to keep the kids happy without driving anywhere. Access can depend on your specific rental and the season, so confirm it when you book; we cover the details in our Reunion Resort water park guide.

Who Reunion suits

It's an especially good fit for families and groups who want space and a private pool without giving up a short, predictable drive to the parks. Multi-generational trips and two families traveling together do well here — everyone gets a real bedroom, there's a kitchen to save on meals, and the resort itself gives non-park days something to do.
