Top Reasons Families and Groups Are Choosing Orlando for Summer 2026

Orlando’s popularity isn’t built on one attraction. It’s the variety that keeps visitors coming back year after year.

Families can spend their mornings at a theme park, cool off at a water park in the afternoon, and enjoy dining, entertainment, or fireworks after sunset. Friends can fill their itineraries with shopping, live entertainment, outdoor adventures, and plenty of poolside relaxation.

The destination’s mix of attractions, entertainment, dining, and seasonal events makes it easy for every member of the group to find their own adventure. From grandparents and toddlers to friends and teammates, everyone can fill their vacation with memorable moments.

It’s no surprise Orlando continues to rank among America’s favorite summer destinations.

Group travel is better when everyone has room to spread out and reconnect.

Instead of splitting up across multiple hotel rooms, guests at Encore Resort at Reunion can spread out in spacious vacation homes featuring four to thirteen bedrooms.

Large gathering spaces become the backdrop for family dinners, game nights, movie marathons, and conversations that last long after the day is over. Full kitchens make meals and snacks easy, while private bedrooms provide a comfortable place to recharge before the next adventure.

Encore offers the space and flexibility to make every gathering feel effortless whether you’re planning a family reunion, birthday celebration, bachelor or bachelorette getaway, church retreat, sports tournament, or team bonding.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Encore Resort at Reunion is its location.

Guests are just minutes from Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld® Orlando, and many of Central Florida’s most popular attractions.

Even better, Encore offers complimentary theme park transportation, making it even easier for families and groups to spend less time coordinating plans and more time enjoying the magic.

That means more time for rides, shows, dining experiences, and unforgettable moments with the people who matter most.

After a full day of exploring Orlando, guests can return to their spacious retreat, recharge, and get ready for another day of adventure.

Summer 2026 also brings one of the world’s biggest soccer tournaments to North America, creating an electric atmosphere for fans throughout Orlando.

At Encore Resort at Reunion, the excitement continues beyond the stadium with special match-day experiences designed for guests of all ages.

During the tournament, Global Soccer Match Day Fun brings soccer-themed activities, friendly competitions, and family fun to the resort. Guests can also join Kickabout Hour, an interactive soccer challenge where players can test their skills and score a special treat.
