Eight bedrooms and six bathrooms sleep 18. The five king bedrooms each have their own private bathroom, so every couple gets a private suite, and the children get rooms themed for Star Wars, princesses and Harry Potter. Your screened pool has a raised spa and looks out over a pond and conservation land. Indoors there is a theater with reclining leather seats and a game room with a pool table and arcade machines. Gated Emerald Island Resort is about 5 miles from Disney's Animal Kingdom.

GETTING IN
Send us the names of everyone staying and we enter them at the gate. The resort then emails a link to register each vehicle. The resort charges $20 plus tax per vehicle.
GOOD TO KNOW
Pool heat is $35 per night with a 4-night minimum. The raised spa is part of the pool and is not a separate hot tub. A gas grill can be rented. We stock starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, soap and trash bags) for the first day or two. Smoking is allowed outside only.
