Take some of the stress associated with Christmas out of the mix. Book a luxury villa close to Disney in Orlando and you can give the kids their best-ever Christmas present. With them ready for all of the magic that Mickey can dish out, how about taking the whole family with you? We have some super-big villas with plenty of room for the extended family. Or if you prefer take two or three families and stay in side-by-side rentals.
