If you have been reading along, you probably know that I took a trip last month to Florida for the #DisneyGlobalEvent. I have been posting all these fun posts and pictures about my trip and where we went, but haven’t said much about where I stayed during my time in Florida and where I got to rest, sleep, take a shower and all that fun stuff.
So here it is, the beautiful Global Resort Home that I got to stay in last month for almost a week!
When I found out I was going to be staying at Global Resort Homes I was more than excited. For the last couple years, I have been hearing great things about Global Resort Homes from other bloggers and I was always a little jealous that I hadn’t been able to see Florida for myself too!
For me, I don’t vacation too far from home, especially due to the fact that I have 4 children. Taking a family of 6 on a plane far away hasn’t been much of an option for us. For the last few years I have taken various trips to Southern California to visit places like Disneyland and Universal Studios which are only about an 8 hour drive away. This last month, I finally got to see fulfill one of the items in my Bucket List, to visit Florida and better yet, stay at one of those cool Global Resort Homes that my fellow blogger friends have been raving about.
On one of the mornings of my stay at Global Resort Homes, I thought I would go outside to get some fresh air. As I walk out the front door and look to the left, I see the most amazing site. Yes, a HOT air balloon that looked to me like it was going to hit one of the houses on the street.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t see hot air balloons that often. I seem them sometimes on TV, but other than that, I haven’t seen a real actual hot air balloon this close since I was a child. I quickly ran back in the house all excited like a kid about this pretty hot air balloon going by. For those in Florida, I am sure you are used to these beauties by now, but for me it was really exciting to see.
After seeing this balloon and after conquering 8 different zip lines like a champ, I might actually add “Go on a hot air balloon in Florida” on my bucket list!
Now let me tell you more details about this house I stayed at. First of all, I would like to mention that the house is 2,812 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Since my house is about a 1/3 of the size and only has 1 bathroom, I really felt like I was enjoying my stay in luxury and think that all my future vacations should be at a resort home. With my past vacations I have stayed at hotels where I get a small room for the whole family and once the kids have fell asleep, it is usually quiet time which is no fun when you are on vacation.
On top of the 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, we also had the luxury take a dip in to this:
Having your own private pool and spa to get into is also very convenient. I actually took advantage of the spa a couple nights with my mommy blogger friends.
The house also had a game room, but with all the fun we were having, I don’t think anyone had a chance to use it. I did snap a photo to share though.
What is also neat about staying at this resort home was the full size washer and dryer. While I was there, I was able to wash my clothes since I was there almost a week and not worry about bringing home dirty laundry. There of course was a nice and beautiful kitchen as well as lots of area to relax and get on my laptop and iPad. There were TVs in the house, but I only watched it in my room at night before I went to bed.
The Global Resort Home that I stayed in happens to the in the Windor Hills. This is a gated community that offers a ton of different recreation and activities for everyone. This gated community has a children’s playground, fitness center, sand volleyball, tennis courts, a movie theater that seats 40, an arcade and more. Even though we didn’t have time to take advantage of all these amenities, they were there if we wanted to use them. What is also convenient about the Global Resort Homes at Windor Hills is the fact that staying there, you happen to only be 1.5 miles away from the gates of Walt Disney World.
If you are planning a vacation to Disney World this summer and looking for a place to stay with your family, I highly recommend Global Resort Homes.
This is just one of many beautiful Global Resort Homes that you can reserve. In addition to this home, there are other beautiful homes in the Windsor Hills community as well as many other options depending on your needs.

that hot air balloon was really an incredible site.I loved the hot tub, so clean, so relaxing .
I loved the whole trip! The only part I didn’t like was leaving. Glad we got to share the house together and the hot tub!
Wow, that place looks great!
I loved my stay there. I was there with Brandcation and it was awesome! Bobbi and I shared a Disney Princess room! I hope to go back one day soon!
While I was there I missed my family and was anxious to go home, but ever since I left, I keep thinking I want to go back!
I miss our vacation home! And I miss you! We had a great group didn’t we?
Aww, I miss the vacation home and you too!
Can’t believe how close that hot air balloon was!
I think it was the closest I have seen one. So pretty!
That house looks really nice!
I’ve heard so much about them. they look awesome!
Totally looks like the way to vacation! We are planning to Disney in the Fall and will definitely have to check out this option!
You totally should check out this option. Global Resort Homes has condos too if you are looking for something smaller.
Beautiful home! It makes going on vacation with extended family members easier and cheaper because you can split the cost!
WOW! The whole house looks amazing! We are planning a Disney trip in about 5 years or so and I’m guessing I really need to look into the costs including a beautiful house like this to stay in so I can be prepared. Thanks for sharing!
so jealous you got the hot air balloon shots!! these houses are marvelous. i can’t wait to go back!
I was in the right place at the right time. 😉
You had me at private pool. Just wow!
Wow, what a beautiful home!
It was great meeting you!
This would be wonderful for a vacation with extended family. More space and plenty of stuff to do.
These homes look like such an awesome place to stay, and I LOVE the hot air balloon!
I love staying with Global – such nice homes.
Looks like an amazing place! I would love to visit Disney and stay in one. I love your hot air balloon story, we have them here all the time. I’m gonna get some photos this year!
Wow, that picture with the balloon is amazing. I love Global Resort Homes too. So spacious and comfortable.
Gorgeous homes!
Those homes are beautiful!
Great photo of the hot air balloon! I live in Tampa and have seen a few hot air balloons but after visiting Napa Valley – hot air ballooning in FL just wouldn’t cut it because it’s so flat. I had written a post about our trip to Napa Valley and how we almost got to go on a hot air balloon. The weather didn’t cooperate and it was cancelled. 🙁
Oh, zip lining is soooo much fun! We did that in Gatlingburg, TN and I hope we’ll get a chance to go zip lining again!
What a perfect place to stay for a family or group of friends. Privacy, comfort, more interaction than separate hotel rooms and a great price!
What a great place to stay. We are trying to get set up there for September.
So nice to have the comfort of home away from home!
