We will be staying at the Treehouse Villas for the first time in June and have no idea what to expect other than the pics online. Six adults and one adorable two yr old grandson. We will have a vehicle. Any advice or tips are appreciated. How would I use my vehicle there? Drive to the parks or to the SSR parking lot or what?

Although I haven't stayed in the Treehouse Villas, for any "remote" location (like the Fort Wilderness Cabins) I recommend driving. It is a pain to take a bus to a bus to the parks, and then do the whole thing in reverse, at least it was for us.

I can't wait to hear your review though, they look awesome!

Just take you car to the parks. Don't mess with driving to SSR just to get on a bus.

Treehouse Villas have their own bus stops, but they don't take you to the parks... You would get on a bus a at either the north or south station... From there, the bus takes you to SSR main resort... I forget which stop is the first stop... Then from there you get off the bus and wait for a parks bus... The few times I stayed there, it really was annoying... After a long day at the parks, you then have to take a bus to SSR, get off and wait at the stop for a bus to the Treehouse Villas... I hated that...

I would recommend driving...

As mentioned above a car is very helpful. We tried the buses a couple of times but they were a time killer. The treehouse shuttles you to the last stop at SSR so the bus has a pretty good chance of being full when it gets there so it’s usually standing room. You could walk to the Grandstand stop but we’re already walking 12 to 15 miles a day so I’m not down for that.

The villa was nice. Everything worked. The layout did not really work for us that well. Two of the bedrooms and beds I would describe as a full size maybe they were small queens. The bunk beds in the third room would be great for kids. Our grandson slept in a crib in that room. Our DD and her DH slept on the pullout which they said was really comfy. The room felt much smaller than a regular ( not OKW) room villa.

The deck was great and there was a grill. I was super quiet
