We came just for the day with a resort pass and had such a great time! The pool area was clean and relaxing, and the water slide was a fun bonus. Us old fat people were able to use it with no problems ! 🤣😭There were plenty of loungers and shaded spots, which made it easy to stay comfortable all day. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and the food from the poolside bar was surprisingly good— we did some nachos and my friend's son had a burger. He had no complaints about it so it seems like everything was good. Even though we didn’t stay overnight, the overall vibe of the property was welcoming and peaceful. It felt like a mini escape close to the parks without all the crowds. Would definitely come back for another day of relaxing! Read less

Every year since 2019 I’ve been staying in these Villas, except one year and that was 2020 because of Covid but the years after I’ve stayed here once a year with family. I’m writing this only because this will be my last year at this Villa. The location is great, the rooms are okay now. It looks renovated which is good but it’s smaller now. The Front desk service was great but the reason for the 1 star is because they have started to charge $25 A Day for parking when parking use to be free. If you’re staying a week or so, and you sorta don’t have a choice but to have a car because it’s so big to travel. Parking price I FEEL is unfair and a bit much. They also CHARGE you for EXTRA TOWELS OR WASH CLOTHS NOW. I never been to any hotel where they charge you for what should be free towels and wash cloths but because it’s a washer and dryer in the room. They want you to wash it basically. I came to relax not wash extra things if I’m being honest. The parking and the towel service did it for me. I don’t even know what else will transpire but hopefully nothing else. Read less

I feel like AFVC does itself a disservice by not updating the pictures. I was kind of skeptical about booking because I normally go to Kings Reef, in Orlando but the price was pretty high for the time that I was going so decided to pick a new spot.

I feel like AFVC does itself a disservice by not updating the pictures. I was kind of skeptical about booking because I normally go to Kings Reef, in Orlando but the price was pretty high for the time that I was going so decided to pick a new spot. The new spot is now my go-to spot... Amenities were all over the place (one thing I didn't like was you have to pay for mini golf and a few other sports). Pools (7), from Big to small, sauna, hot tubs, and steam rooms were awesome. There's a market on campus along with a couple of restaurants but I didn't try any. Grocery stores right around the corner so you can pick up something and then cook it in the room. Rooms where spacious I had a two bedroom apartment, updated, spacious, and there wasn't much noise even though you would imagine it would be with it being a vacation spot. The location was pretty close to Disney, 15 minutes from SeaWorld, etc. anyway you go you know you have to navigate traffic. Overall we were more than pleasantly surprised, and I can guarantee it won't be the last time that we book this spot. Read less
