Forget the Resort! Families Going to Disney World Should Rent 1 of These Magical Homes Instead

Updated on 11/1/2018 at 5:07 PM

If you're trying to plan a trip to Disney World on a budget, there's a new way to save big on accommodations without sacrificing even one minute's worth of magic. Now, families opting out of expensive in-park resorts and hotels can connect with the many savvy homeowners in central Florida who have renovated their residences to attract those wanting that full experience.

They've decked out their vacation rentals to feel 100-percent Disney — whether your kids are looking to blast off with Buzz Lightyear during playtime, nap in a Cinderella-Inspired carriage bed or take a predinner dip in a pool fit for Dory and Nemo.

Popular property rental site HomeAway has shared with POPSUGAR just a handful of the rentals available now, and by the looks of them, you will have a hard time deciding which home — some of which are priced for as little as $15 per person per day — to choose. In fact, they're so authentic, you might have an even harder time leaving them every day to head to the parks!
