We don't want you to just plan your next trip to Winter Garden we want you to move here. There are many other great things here than Walt Disney World Resort. Winter Garden has the West Orange Trail, places for art lovers, nature lovers, golf courses, weekly live entertainment, Live music, great parks, Lake Apopka and is a great destination to choose to live.
Unlike living in the resorts your neighbor is not here to visit and will remain your neighbor for months if not years as short term renting in neighborhoods is very limited. That is one more thing that separates this location from much of Kissimmee and its resorts or a hotel.
In Central Florida many people choose resorts as apposed to a hotel room. Travelers to Walt Disney World most commonly will stay for days so they look for a location to stay that is more like a home operating base for themselves and their kids. That sounds fun and it is. But not for those who live full time in the same community. Rest assured that in Winter Garden this is very restricted.
