The starting size for lodging at Reunion is a 1,292-square-foot, one-bedroom villa with a full kitchen, abundant living space, 24-hour room service, and even a washer-dryer. But there aren't many of those, so I ended up in an even larger two-bedroom in the hotel tower, Reunion Grande, at the heart of the resort. There are other equally appealing options in low-rise buildings scattered around the various neighborhoods, including the one anchored by the tennis center and another by a water park. There are also neighborhoods of individually owned houses, the largest of them with 13 bedrooms, the most unusual of those bedrooms hidden behind a bookcase, which when opened reveals a Hogwarts Train with bunk beds. We contentedly made do with a kingsize bed and a long deck with views across the golf driving range and, at night, the distant fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Besides, we had a swimming pool and tapas-centric restaurant called Eleven on the 11th floor roof and an upscale steakhouse on the main floor, and a comfortable lobby with a bar.All of this was an easy walk to the courts, making the free shuttle unnecessary.
