$1 BILLION Expansion Coming to a Hotel Near Disney World

[Disney4me]

Although some guests want to stay at a Disney hotel when visiting Disney World, many opt to stay elsewhere to save a little money or to be closer to other fun things to do in Orlando.

There are, of course, many options for guests wishing to stay off-property, including hotels in the nearby vicinity and AirBnBs. And one resort is about to start a MAJOR expansion that will give Disney World guests even more options!

According to GrowthSpotter, the golf resort operator Kingwood International Resorts (which purchased Reunion Resort & Golf Club in Kissimmee, Florida, in 2019) has announced plans for a $1 billion expansion of the resort, which will include a new hotel and vacation condos. The expansion also includes a 10-acre lagoon, as well as an amphitheater.

The resort already includes villas and vacation rentals, as well as three golf courses, seven restaurants and bars, a 5-acre water park, 7 pools, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and transportation to Disney World. So it’s about to get even BIGGER! The company has already secured a $14.5 million loan for phase 1 of the expansion, which will include 1,800 additional units.

There will be five phases overall in the expansion, which will include six condo buildings featuring architecture and interior design from different regions of the world. Each condo, which will be a suite with 1 or 2 bedrooms, will have a balcony facing the lagoon and amphitheater where guests can expect to see nightly shows and entertainment.

Of course, such a massive expansion will take time, so you won’t be able to book one of those condos just yet. However, it will give guests visiting Orlando and Disney World another option on where to stay, particularly those with larger groups or those parties looking for luxury accommodations with loads of amenities.

In the meantime, there’s a lot of construction going on in Disney World, too! You can keep up with the latest here.
