But when the kids learn how much there is to do nearby, they won\u2019t mind leaving the resort\u2019s splash pools and playgrounds behind \u2013 for a while, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The resort is 5 miles from Walt Disney World Resort, and just a short drive from some of the USA\u2019s best and most beautiful water parks. Staying in one of our luxury <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/encore-resort-at-reunion\/vacations\">Encore Resort vacation rentals<\/a> also means you&#8217;ll enjoy proximity to a huge range of shops, restaurants, and family friendly attractions on the doorstep. The only tricky thing is deciding what to do first!<\/p>\n<h3>Hit the water parks<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole lot of laughs to be had at Encore Resort\u2019s AquaPark but for a change of scenery you might want to check out one of the area\u2019s other water-based attractions.<\/p>\n<p>Florida is home to some of the wildest water parks on Earth, including Disney\u2019s ski-themed Blizzard Beach, whose lightning-fast slides are the stuff of legend. The Legoland Water Park, home to a Lego-edged wave pool and a build-your-own-raft facility, is perfect for families with young kids.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12265\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_161892053-1.jpg\" alt=\"Orlando's best rollercoasters\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_161892053-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_161892053-1-460x306.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_161892053-1-526x350.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_161892053-1-390x259.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Test your nerve on Orlando\u2019s best rides<\/h3>\n<p>Colorful parades feature high up on most to-do lists, but there\u2019s a lot more to Disney World than meeting Mickey at the Magic Kingdom.

Check out the movie-themed rides and attractions at Universal Studios, or clamber aboard the nerve-jangling rollercoasters at the Islands of Adventure. Doctor Doom\u2019s Fearfall is not for the faint hearted; it pushes you 200 ft into the sky with more thrust than a 747\u2019s jet engine \u2013 and more acceleration than a space shuttle.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out the restaurants near\u00a0Encore Resort at Reunion<\/h3>\n<p>The fine-dining scene in Orlando is super diverse, with inventive chefs serving delectable dishes from every corner of the globe.
