A video from a guest!
We have just received an email from a guest that stayed for a week in Eeyores Escape in May with a link to a youtube video they compiled after they got home.
The have given us their permission to share it with everyone, and in their words ‘it’s quite a fun look at the happiest place on earth! You automatically get a smile watching it.’
We agree and after watching the video can’t wait to go back!
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we did.

Bellavida is going ‘digital’
The cable TV system on the Bellavida Resort is being upgraded to a digital service, bringing more choice and 15 new HD channels.
We are told this will be happening during this month, and when complete the basic package will have 108 channels and an improved internet service with up to 25mbps available.
At the moment all homes on Bellavida Resort get the same cable tv package so it is interesting to see the words ‘basic package’ as this would indicate there will be upgrades available, hopefully these will be made available soon!
We also need to change the Tivo DVR system in the villa, but again apparently there will be options available so watch this space!
Luxury Villas Near Disney – The Benefits
Most of our guests already realise the benefits of renting a villas. Many have stayed in a villa elsewhere and are bringing the rest of the family to Orlando for the ultimate Disney experience so I will not start this post with the usual ‘villas offer so much room’ and ‘imagine breakfast by the pool in your pjs’ etc. Even if it’s your first time i’m sure you will have read this before so it does not need to be said again!
I wanted to share is the benefits of renting villas near Disney that you may not be aware of, but that we have discovered over the years. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time in Orlando or if you visit every year, there are always things you may not be aware of and this post is about the benefits of staying in a luxury villa, but using the Disney hotel attractions.
Our new Bellavida villa website!
Regular visitors may notice we have updated our website! There was very little wrong with the only site, however the blog entries were made with a separate program to the main website, and when we were at the villa in October we could not update the blog while we were away.
Keeping up appearances
One of the challenges we set ourselves when we first bought the villa was to make it the very best of the best, and to maintain that high standard.
It’s part of our long term outlook, we hope to have our home for a long time and although when we bought we were told we could simply replace items when they broke and to expect everything to last an average of seven years, we simply did not want a villa that would get progressively more worn and tired each year, but instead to keep it ‘like new’.
More guestbook entries
We leave the villa to fly home again today, but just before we leave I thought I would scan in some more entries from the guestbook.
Villa computer and wifi upgrades
We have upgraded the computer terminal and installed a new wifi router today!
The computer is located in the loft area next to the ‘mickey’ and ‘eeyore’ rooms. The new desk lets you use the villas mac computer or you can close the drawer to hide the keyboard and mouse and place your own laptop on the desk instead.
Over 220 books in the villa and counting…
Mainly thanks to Hayleys family in Canada, we now have over 220 books in the villa!
Our ‘book policy’ has always been if you read any of the books and are halfway through when you leave please feel free to take it with you, but please leave a different one behind.
