Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Harry Potter and visit the village of Hogsmeade, the mysterious Forbidden Forest and parts of Hogwarts Castle and grounds. The new Wizarding World of Harry Potter will also include what are described as "experiential shops and restaurants" which will allow guests to purchase all manner of Harry Potter merchandise and sample food based on the J.K.

"All facilites were are described in review of property. Owner dealt with all queries from booking to completion of vacation promptly and very efficiently"
"The villa was quite spacious, the area quiet (except when my own children could be heard, laughing and carrying on in the pool!) and the location perfect central to everything. The bedrooms were spacious, comfortable, the games room filled with in-home entertainment and there were ample dishes, cooking utensils we needed only to visit the Super Walmart up the road for a few odds and ends. Bernie was always very quick replying to my many e-mails and questions. I called Melanie from the property managament company on a few occasions with questions and she too was very helpful and so kind. The stroller was a blessing after we forgot it the first day and ended up paying $17 for a rental at the park! We have visited Orlando on several occasions always in hotels, some on-site and some off-site. I have to say that I will never again stay in a hotel in Orlando. Renting a vacation villa is definitely the way to go. After long days at the theme parks, coming "home" to sit on the sofa or sit outside watching the kids in the pool made it seem like a real vacation. The privacy fence around the pool was a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again!"
"The villa was much larger than the pictures portrayed. The kitchen looked new and the Betty Boop bedroom & bathroom was a lovely surprise for the girls. The master suit was beautiful and the bed huge! The pool was great (couldnt keep the kids out!) and the cover kept it warm for our stay. The villa was immaculate with everything you could need during your stay. Hampton Lakes is a very well maintained community and their Christmas lights were the best on that strip. The villa is about 10 - 15 minutes to Disney with some really good restaurants within 10 minutes. I would definitly recommend this villa."

"Villa Betty Boo was spacious, well maintained and very clean. The master bedroom was beautiful, I loved the bed linens and the bed was enormous!!!! The new HD TV was well appreciated as was the free wireless internet & free calls to the UK... The kids loved the pool and the privacy fence worked really well, we couldnt see our neighbours and they could not see in to our pool, I loved the tropical plants and the patio furniture looked brand new!! Bernie (the owner) was so promt and helpfull during the booking process and gave us some great tips on the parks and the best way to get to them. The management were very efficient, she turned up within 15 minutes with a new toaster when our one stopped working." I would reccommend this villa to anyone and will definately be returning next year.

"This was a beautiful home! It felt like the closest thing to actually being home. It was the Christmas Holidays and my daughter, who arrived earlier by a few days, surprised us by having the outside and inside decorated, even having a small Christmas Tree. We also had the opportunity to spend Christmas with my sister and her husband, something we have not able to do for several years. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation, made even better by this lovely home. Rita and family"

"11th - 116th August 2007 We were looking for an alternative to staying in a hotel when we drove down to return our son to University in Lakeland. The villa was perfect! We had a wonderful few days of togetherness as we got him settled, and played some golf as well! Having our own pool to use whenever we felt like it was terrific! The location was convenient to everythig. Sincereley, The Kerrs Long Island New York USA"
"7th July - 21st July 2007 We had a lovely time in Florida, your house was perfect and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. We were in Universal Studios 6 of the 7 days, and the kids had a blast running the parks. The management company was helpful & friendly. Thanks for your hospitality. The Mott & Van Essendelft families (New York USA)"
"We loved the convenience the house offered to our family of 7. Lots of space for everyone. The pool was an added asset as well as the game room. I would suggest adding simple starter supplies (hand/bath soap, dish soap, tp and kleenex, maybe salt/pepper, coffee filters,etc) This would help on first arrival. Also would have loved some quick directions to the local attractions. I am not sure we took the fastest routes... All in all, we have a lovely week of great memories!"

"This was our first time renting a villa, and we were a little apprehensive but now we would not hesitate to do it again. The villa was exactly the same as the pictures on the web site. We really enjoyed staying at the villa, it was very nicely furnished & comfortable. The neighbourhood was quiet and very well maintained. Very easy access to highways and easy to find the different amusement parks."
Value: Excellent , Met expectations: Exceeded them , Recommend: Definitely , Overall: Excellent
"The villa was even bigger than we anticipated and was fully equipped with all the amenities you would expect, ie dishwasher, washing maching, dryer. There were more than enough cutlery and crockery for everyone. It was very close to the Disney parks and all the restuarants and attractions of the Highway 192. We all enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa."

Just got back from Florida this morning and wanted to say thanks for letting us stay in your gorgeous villa. The photos on the website don't do it justice as it is really lovely (and so much bigger than we anticipated)! We managed to find it with your directions during a very bad thunderstorm (and very heavy rain) and not too much arguing!
The children loved having their own pool - somehow I don't think their bath tonight will have quite the same effect - heehee!
Thanks again, Karen
P.S Can recommend First Choice flights. They were excellent (and very cheap too!) "
"This property was excellent. close to Disney world. The villa was way better than staying at a hotel. It was roomy enough for all of our guests. Enjoyable. Please note, there is a guest book in which guests have made a number of great reviews too."
