How far is Storey Lake Resort from Disney World?
Disney is about 5 miles from the gate, so 15 minutes or so in the car. Do a park morning and you're back at the lazy river by early afternoon.
Does Storey Lake Resort have a lazy river?
Yes, a heated one, with two water slides and a splash pad next to it. It's all part of the villa rate at The Hideaway Club, nothing to pay on arrival.

Disney five miles out, The Hideaway Club on-site, and a lake in between. Parks in the morning, lazy river after lunch, mini golf when you want a breather.

It runs from 3-bed condos to 8-bed detached villas. A group of 10 or 12 usually takes a 5 or 6-bed, with a private pool, games room and one address.
Which Storey Lake Resort villas are best for a Disney trip?
The villas nearest the entrance make the Disney drive under 15 minutes, which counts when you're up for rope drop and every minute matters.

Which Storey Lake Resort villas are best for large groups?
The 7 and 8-bed villas keep everyone under one roof, with a private pool, games room and The Hideaway Club a short walk off. No juggling separate rentals.

Your Complete Guide to Storey Lake Resort
Know the distance to Disney and the parks from Storey Lake
Storey Lake is about as close to Disney as a gated resort gets, give or take five miles and fifteen minutes from the gate. The other parks are more of a drive, but easy enough across a week.
- Five miles to Disney. Fifteen minutes most days. Nearer than just about any gated resort round Kissimmee.
- US-192 is the straight shot west, but it crawls on a park-opening morning.
- When it does, people cut onto the Osceola Parkway toll road instead. Quicker.
- SeaWorld's the close one, nine miles, twenty to twenty-five minutes.
- Universal's the long haul. Roughly 22 miles, thirty to forty up I-4.
- There's a free golf-cart shuttle round the resort, but nothing to the parks, so you'll want a car. The 5 Star Villa Holidays team can sort the hire or a transfer.
What Types of Condos, Townhomes and Villas Are Available at Storey Lake?
Storey Lake mixes condos, townhomes and detached villas inside one gated community, anywhere from 3 to 8 bedrooms. That spread is half the reason it suits such different groups.
- Condos start at 2 or 3 beds. No private pool, but full run of The Hideaway Club.
- Townhomes are 4 to 5 beds, each with its own little splash pool and screened patio.
- The 5 and 6-bed villas are the sweet spot. Room for 10 to 12, games room in most.
- Want the lot? The 7 and 8-bed detached villas take 14 to 16, with a screened pool, games room and cinema.
- One tip: check the property type when you enquire, because the layouts are genuinely different.
- The big ones go first. Enquire early for summer and Christmas.
If none of those fit, we list villas at other Orlando resorts too.
Is the resort pool - The Hideaway Club pool included with your stay?
The pool complex comes with every booking. No gate fee, no wristband, you just walk in, 9am to 9pm.
- In the price: lazy river, two slides, the resort pool, splash pad, gym, courts and a 9-hole mini golf.
- The resort pool's a big zero-entry, beach-style one. Loungers all round.
- The lazy river runs heated year-round and loops the mini golf in the middle. Rings provided.
- Two slides. One boxed in, one open to the sky. Both included.
- What costs extra: the tiki bar, the Poolside Bar and Grill, Once Upon a Cone, and a cabana if you want one.
- Your own villa pool is a separate thing. Townhomes and bigger luxury villas have one; condos use the club.
Pool heating, villa pools and the club pool -What’s in the price?
Two pools in the mix here. The club pool is heated for free, while heating your own villa pool is the optional bit.
- The club pool's heated and open 9am to 9pm, whatever you've booked.
- Townhome splash pools are private but on the small side, and cold unless you pay to heat them.
- The 5-bed-and-up villas get a proper screened pool. Same deal, unheated as standard.
- Heating's priced per villa, and we'll put the figure in your shortlist so there are no surprises.
- Summer? Skip it. June to September the sun keeps the water warm on its own.
- The screened lanai traps a bit of the overnight warmth, which helps if you've paid for heating.
Want a heated private pool without the add-on? Our non-gated Orlando homes to rent are worth a look.
Do Storey Lake Resort villas have a hot tub?
Two ways to get a soak at Storey Lake. Some of these Orlando vacation rentals have their own hot tub on the deck, and there's a shared one down by the lake.
- A private hot tub comes with a certain set of villas, not all of them.
- Where there is one, it sits on your screened lanai next to the pool. Lake views at a few.
- There's also a communal lakeside hot tub at the club, open to everyone.
- October to March is when you'll really use either, once the evenings cool.
- Most private-spa villas can heat the pool too, so mention both when you get in touch.
- Tell us at enquiry and we'll dig out the ones with their own.
Does Storey Lake Resort have pool cabanas?
You can hire a cabana at the main pool. It's a paid extra on top of standard access, and there aren't many, so ask early.
- A shaded spot right in the thick of the pool complex.
- Not in the villa rate or the standard access. Booked and priced on its own.
- What you get varies cabana to cabana, so check when you enquire.
- They sell out over the school holidays. Sort it before you fly.
- The tiki bar and the grill are right there, so nobody has to trek off for food.
- Flag it at enquiry and we'll chase down what's free and what it costs for your dates.
Does Storey Lake Resort have a restaurant?
It's everywhere - poolside, all through The Hideaway Club, and there's more of it than you'd think. Everything's charged on the day.
- The Poolside Bar and Grill does the proper food: starters, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizza. Kids' menu too. Flag someone down at the pool or grab a seat inside.
- The tiki bar pours the fun stuff. A Maui Margarita, a watermelon mojito, pool party punch, draught beer with cheaper refills.
- Once Upon a Cone is the ice-cream shop. Sundaes and scoops, served right at the water.
- None of it's in the villa rate, so you pay as you go.
- Cooking in? We'll have a grocery shop dropped off before you land.
If on-site dining matters, our look at how Orlando's resorts compare shows where Storey Lake lands.
What are the kid’s amenities at Storey Lake resort?
A genuinely easy one with little kids. The gates keep the traffic out, the club's bang in the middle, and there's a lake with a beach on top of the pools.
- The splash pad's got fountains, jets and cannons, off on its own away from the main pool.
- That 9-hole mini golf goes down a treat with the 4 to 10s.
- There's a sandy little beach by the lake. Toddlers potter while the bigger ones take a kayak out.
- Themed bedrooms, princess, superhero, the lot, come with some villas. Ask if you've got younger ones.
- Cots, high chairs, travel cots, all on request, so confirm them when you book.
- Car seats? Florida hire cars almost never include them, so sort that before you fly.
Is Storey Lake Resort good for large groups?
Storey Lake takes a big group nicely. Detached villas up to 8 bedrooms, and the club gives everyone one shared base.
- The 7 and 8-bed villas sleep up to 16, so most reunions land in a single house.
- Bigger than that? We'll put you in two villas a few doors apart in the same gates.
- The Hideaway Club, with the river, slides, pool, arcade and food, keeps the whole party busy.
- Disney's five miles off, so everyone hits the parks in about fifteen minutes.
- For a night in, the 5 Star Villa Holidays team can book a private chef.
- The big villas go months ahead for summer and Christmas. Move early.
Bigger again? Our biggest Orlando mansion rentals go higher still.
Do Storey Lake Resort villas have a games room?
A private games room is standard across most of the bigger villas. The Hideaway Club has its own arcade as well, which is a different thing entirely.
- After the parks, this is where everyone ends up. Gets more use than people expect.
- Two separate spaces, mind. The villa games room is yours; the club arcade is shared.
- Pool table and a big TV every time. Arcade machines or table tennis depend on the villa.
- Standard from 5 bedrooms up, thinner on the ground in the 3 and 4-beds.
- A lot of the larger villas have a cinema room too, so say if you want both.
- Tell us the spec you're after and we'll match it.
Do Storey Lake Resort villas have a home theatre?
The larger villas, 6 bedrooms and up as a rule, often have a proper cinema room. Own door, own space, not a telly bolted to the lounge wall.
- Almost always the 6-bed-and-up homes. Rare in the smaller townhomes.
- A dedicated room, not shared with the games area or the lounge.
- Rainy days and movie nights, basically. For when the group's off the parks.
- Plenty of cinema villas have a games room too, so flag it if you want the pair.
- Proper seating, surround sound in most. A real film room.
- Let us know it matters and we'll only send you ones that have it.
Out on the lake
This is the bit the other resorts haven't got. An actual lake you can get out on, right inside the gates.
- Hire a kayak or canoe by the half-hour or the hour and paddle off across the water.
- There's a sandy beach at the edge for the little ones and the not-so-keen-to-paddle.
- Some villas back straight onto the lake, with the view to match.
- A different gear from the pool. Quieter. Worth an hour on a rest day.
What activities does Storey Lake Resort have?
On top of all the water, the club runs a proper programme through the week. There's nearly always something on without leaving the resort.
- The 9-hole mini golf, sat in the middle of the lazy river.
- Sand volleyball and basketball by the pool, not shoved away in a corner.
- A gym with treadmills, weights and the all-in-one machines. Opens early for the park crowd.
- The week's line-up: arts and crafts, bingo, giant Jenga, scavenger hunts, trivia, sunset karaoke. Grab the schedule at check-in.
- And the arcade, again, separate from the games rooms in the villas.
