For the Best Disney Vacation-Tropical Paradise Villa

What is Accidental Damage Waiver

OK, I have to pay the Accidental Insurance Waiver, but does it actually do anything for me?
Actually……yes, it helps to take some of the worry out of staying at someone else’s beautiful vacation home. Simply, it covers any accidental damage up to $500, so that you don’t have to worry about paying out more money.

How does it help?
In fact it would have been a great help to a friend of ours when they stayed at a vacation home in England. In their case they had to make a damage deposit of about $600 instead of an accidental insurance waver payment. One of their children tripped and fell on a very old dilapidated coffee table. The owner of the home said it was not just old, but an antique and appraised at $600 (a very convenient number). The family fought the situation, demanding to see the appraisal, which never showed up. Eventually the home owner settled for $100, admitting it was just old, not really an antique. It took them several months to get their money back and a lot of frustration. They would have been much better off with the waiver and just let the property management company fight it out with the home owner.

So what are the details?
It costs $50 and is part of the full quote you receive. The waiver saves you from having to put down a large deposit to cover any accidental damage. Lastly, you will not have to wait for someone to inspect the house before you get the deposit back, because you did not have to pay one.

If some damage does occur while you are staying in the home, please let us know about it so that we can arrange the claim. We will then work with the property management company to repair or replace the items. You will not have to do anything else.

Do you supply cleaning supplies and basic foods?

Each guest is responsible for their own cleaning and hygiene supplies. We will supply one roll of toilet paper and one hand soap per bathroom, one roll of paper towels in the kitchen.
Cleaning supplies are often dangerous chemicals and each guest may have their own preference to what products they are comfortable using. Any leftover cleaning supplies are removed from the home between each guest for safety reasons.

The same principle applies to all foods left behind.

How do I book and pay for my booking?

We can take bookings directly through our reservation software. Just follow the link provided in your quote and it will take you directly to your reservation inquiry.

How far is the home from Walt Disney World?

Our home is located just outside Walt Disney World. Average times to the main gate on World Drive is about 5-7 minutes. Allow for additional time depending on which park you are visiting. Traffic, parking, and crowd levels all add additional time.

Is there parking at the home?

Yes, there is free parking available for two vehicles.

How far is the Orlando airport?

The airport is about 25 miles. We find that using route 417 is the best way to travel.

What time is check in and check out?

Check-in is after 4pm and check-out is before 10am. We can sometimes offer late check-out or early check-in depending on our other bookings. This must be done in advance.

How do we get into the home?

About three weeks prior to your stay, we will email you an Arrival Guide that has been prepared especially for your stay. In this Arrival Guide, you will get the credentials you need to gain access to the resort. You will travel directly to the home as we use a keyless entry system. Your code for the keyless lock is included in the Arrival guide.

Can you make recommends of places to go and things to see?

Absolutely. Join us on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ for many up-to-date area events. Visit our Blog, Orlando Insider Guide or Pinterest page for planning information. Lastly, email us with a specific question and we will gladly share any insider information we may have.
