The best time to book a stay in our Emerald Island Resort Orlando rentals is outside of peak season. In peak season, which is the summertime and around holiday periods, such as Christmas and Easter, both the resorts and Orlando’s top attractions are likely to be significantly busier. Furthermore, in the summer season, Orlando can experience sudden downpours. Though these are typically warm and brief, you may choose to avoid them if you want to keep dry throughout your vacation.
Our favorite time to visit Orlando and its resorts is in the autumn and spring. This is because most people are still at work and school, offering you the chance to experience Orlando with smaller crowds of tourists, but the weather is still utterly delightful. In these months, you can expect mild temperatures that still keep you plenty warm, but aren’t quite as high as in the summer months, and a low chance of rain.
Whilst Emerald Island Resort is nestled on the outskirts of the city, towards the southwest, the main airport for the region (Orlando International Airport, or, MCO) is located in the southeast. Due to its prime location, there are several routes you can take between the two, with the fastest being along the FL-528. This journey has a toll, but takes only 33 minutes and covers a total of 26 miles. The second route that runs slightly further south to our recommended route goes along the FL-417. This way also has a toll, but it is only slightly longer at 36 minutes driving time and passes close to a Target, Walmart and Publix.
Currently, Emerald Island Resort doesn’t operate its own shuttle service to the Disney theme parks. However, getting there is still simple and straightforward. You can organize your own transport by contacting a local taxi or shuttle company, or get in touch with our friendly team of Travel Planners, who will help you to organize your own private transfers to and from the parks. Alternatively, we can help you sort out hire for your own vehicle for the duration of your vacation, so you can enjoy your time in Orlando with the freedom to keep to your own schedule.
Emerald Island Resort is extremely close to the Disney World parks, with Magic Kingdom a twenty minute drive away, and Hollywood Studios a 17 minute drive away.
You can find our Emerald Island rentals on the outskirts of Orlando, towards the southwest at the following address: 2751 Emerald Island Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34747, United States.
When you pay a visit to Emerald Island Resort Orlando, you’re ensuring that you will enjoy a vacation without ever running out of things to do. Orlando is absolutely jam-packed full of sites, theme parks and incredible museums. Top of the list is of course, the Disney World theme parks, which is located around a 20 minutes drive away. Though it is easy to spend weeks in the Disney World parks and never get bored, you should also make sure you take the time to pay a visit to the famous Universal Studios too.
For something a little bit different to the theme parks, make sure you take the little ones to the interactive museum at International Drive, or test your mettle with a visit to the indoor skydiving venue. If you want to do line up activities that are a little more educational, the Orlando Science Center and the John F Kennedy Space Center should be at the very top of your list for inspiring and wow-ing all of your family members.
Emerald Island Resort vacation rentals are located in a prime position, close to plenty of family-friendly restaurant chains and beautiful eateries. For familiar comfort food, you could head to the nearby iHop, Waffle House, Applebee’s or Chick-fil-a, where you are sure to find something to please even the fussiest of eaters. For something more memorable, why not pay a visit to Bahama Breeze, offering delightful Caribbean cuisine, or explore a flavor explosion at Sakura Asian Fusion. Simply put, if you choose to stay at Emerald Island Resort, you will have more than enough choice when it comes to mealtime.
