Wyndham Reunion Resort
I had heard that Reunion was a huge resort, but I was surprised just
how large it is! I didn't realize it was an actual subdivision.
Worldmark and Wyndham just happen to have a fraction of the units there.
"Reunion is a World Class Resort Community located in Central Florida,
less than ten miles from Disney World. It features world class amenities
and many wonderful neighborhoods with real estate products ranging from
Condos and Townhomes to Villas and Estate Homes.
In addition to three signature world-class golf courses, WorldMark
Reunion offers a selection of outstanding amenities and is home to the
Reunion Golf Academy. Enjoy the 5-acre Water Park, complete with lazy
river, slides and interactive pool. There is a daily activities program
with events for all ages, including bicycling and six lighted tennis
courts. For those seeking relaxation, the Spa offers personalized
pampering and there are three on-site restaurants with family, fine
dining or tapas styles to choose from.
Located throughout six different communities within the resort, the
villas at Reunion offer between one and three bedrooms. Guests can
reserve one of these uniquely upscale spaces and enjoy spacious living
rooms, dining rooms, fully-equipped kitchens, private balconies, and
other plush condo-style comforts."
Needless
to say, it was rather impressive. Apparently there are a lot of full
time residents there, too. I was a little surprised that it seemed so
residential. Where are the stores? Do we have to go to Irlo Bronson
Blvd to get to the stores? All that I could easily find was the Publix
about 1 mile down the road and a CVS across the street from it. Wasn't
until Angie and Josh got there that they found the area by the entrance
to I-4 (about 3 miles away) and it had several really nice looking
restaurants around it.
Our
timeshare units were in the Villas at Reunion. This is one of the
Villas buildings. We were put in---E102 on Cabana Ct.
This is the view from our back patio looking over at the Grand section of the resort---the hotel villas of the resort.

You
can tell you're in a Worldmark unit if it has the complimentary
spices. Such a nice touch! Too bad Wyndham doesn't do that, too.

I
did do some furniture rearranging. We were suppose to have a handicap
accessible unit, but when they combined our WM and Wyndham reservations
so we wouldn't have to move, I think they just gave us what was
available with a ground level. But it was fine. No roll in shower or
bars in the bathroom, but Ken was able to manage with the walker and
wheelchair. I also moved the couches closer together so I could move
the little table over between the chair and couch. Moved the lamp over
there. That became Ken's area.
Ended
up moving 3 of the chairs over to the wall so ken had room for his
wheelchair at the table. Also moved the vase to the buffet.

our
Master bedroom (moved the chair away so I could get the wheel chair in
there. Used the seat cushion on "ken's" chair so he could stand up
easier.
Layla's bathroom---and guest bathroom, if there were any guests.
Layla has grown accustomed to having her own bedroom when they go anywhere now. That's one of the first things she looks for.
And she was happy again with her room
Mom and Dad's room---2nd master bedroom, with on suite
back
to the real master bedroom bathroom. We were suppose to have a
handicap accessible room. Somehow, I don't think this is one! But Ken
was able to manage with his walker. No accessible
shower in this bathroom. Plus the toilette in a little closet wasn't too accessible. No handle bars, either. I had even asked if this was an accessible
room when they called the next day to see how everything was. They said
it's on the ground level so it's accessible. I don't think he knew
what he was talking about, but since they aren't making us move
mid-week, I didn't complain.
The
children's play area of the water park. Looked like a lot of fun for a
kid, but it looked like it was closed. I presume because of Covid?
I
was really impressed with the lazy river pool and looking forward to
taking Layla there. Unfortunately she ended up being pretty sick, so we
didn't take her.
Didn't really like that there was no parking by it, either. Just a drop off zone, then a parking lot a couple blocks away.
Surprised it wasn't more crowded.
little green courtyard next to the building we were in. The grounds were really nice.
The little pool across from our building. I did make it here a couple times.

At
first I wasn't too thrilled with the location of this resort and the
size of it. But by the time we spent 8 nights here, I'd gotten use to
it. I hope to go back some day.
