The Real Cost of a Hotel vs. One Comfortable Home

Hotels look cheaper at first - until you factor in multiple rooms, fees (parking, resort fee, etc), and limited space. Our home offers room to relax, amenities you'll actually use, and a better overall value.

Guest Experiences

We would definitely stay there again. Plenty of room for all 10 of us, clean and pool and hot tub were a plus. Our host was very attentive with any questions and added a special touch for our holiday. Stay. The location was perfect to all theme parks and any shopping. We would highly recommend staying here.

Common Questions

Team travel FAQ

Approximately 12 minutes by car from ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. The short drive means you can go back and forth between games or competition sessions without eating into your day.
Some ESPN Wide World of Sports events have Stay-to-Play policies requiring teams to book through official partner hotels. Individual families traveling with a player, family members not on the team roster, and extended-stay bookings (before or after the required nights) are typically not restricted — always confirm with your team coordinator. For events without STP requirements, Parkside Retreat is a great fit for the whole team family group.
Two or three families sharing our 6-bedroom home almost always pays less per family than booking multiple hotel rooms. Each family gets their own bedroom (or two), plus shared kitchen, pool, laundry, and living space — which usually adds up to a significantly better trip at a lower per-family cost.
Yes. ESPN Wide World of Sports is part of Walt Disney World, and Parkside Retreat is only 10–15 minutes from every Disney park. Many tournament families combine competition days with quick park visits — especially since games often don’t run all day, leaving windows for a few hours of Disney magic.
ESPN Wide World of Sports hosts major youth and amateur championships year-round: The Cheerleading Worlds, The Summit, Unrivaled Flag Football World Championships (formerly NFL Flag), AAU Basketball World Championships, Pop Warner events, and many more. See the events list below for what’s coming up.
Yes — a full-size washer and dryer with laundry supplies. Uniforms, cheer bows, jerseys, and warm-ups can be washed and back in the bag before the next competition day.
Up to 14 guests across 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The layout is ideal for multi-family tournament trips — everyone has their own space to rest between games, and the shared living areas fit the whole crew comfortably.
