There’s even a 9-bedroom home with a Millennium Falcon bedroom

Sure, staying at an on-site Disney World hotel has its perks—namely, being a gondola ride or a monorail stop away from the action—but if you’re willing to forego the Disney bubble, there’s a lot you can gain from staying outside of the Disney World resort. How does an actual indoor playground sound? Or a bunk bed that doubles as a pirate ship? Or a bedroom that’ll make you feel like you’re sleeping in the Millennium Falcon? Whether you want to stay in the Star Wars universe or a Frozen land, here are the coolest Disney-themed Airbnbs near Walt Disney World.

This OMG Airbnb With a Star Wars Game Room and (Two!) Indoor Twirly Slides

Star Wars room in Disney-themed Airbnb near Disney World
Airbnb

This. House. Is. Awesome. Ready to blow your kids’ minds? This Airbnb is practically a theme park in itself, with bedrooms that double as playgrounds, complete with whirling slides and games galore. A  Star Wars game room will be the first order of business here, as it has video games, a foosball table, a ping pong table, an air hockey table, and a huge indoor slide. But that’s not the only time you’ll be saying “Whoa.” The Trolls room has another twirly slide, this one covered in colorful troll-ish fur and accessible through a grass-covered rainbow doorway! Kids will have a perfect movie night in the home’s lush theater room, with recliner seating for everyone. When it’s time to sleep, the seven bedrooms range from elegantly adult to whimsically kiddish, with stuffed animals propped on beds, colorful murals on the walls, and Disney touches all around that your little explorers will love to discover.

It’s a Pirate’s Life for You at this Pirate-Themed Airbnb

Airbnb

 

Located less than 10 miles from Disneyland, this 8-bedroom villa lets little Jack Sparrows immerse themselves into a pirate-themed land so authentic you’ll be saying, “Arggh,” whether you like it or not! The “Dueling Ships” bedroom lets kids sleep aboard a wooden pirate ship with its own slide; while the “Sunken Ship” bedroom lets them explore (and sleep inside) an underwater shipwreck. Other rooms include the “Captain’s Quarters” and the “Treasure Island” bedroom (which has its own trunk of treasure!), not to mention a fully-themed movie theater, epic game room, pool, spa, pool table, and barbecue area.

This 7-Bedroom House, Where Every Bedroom Has a Theme

Airbnb

Your kids will have plenty of choices when it comes to where to lay their heads at night: Do they want the Frozen room, with 15 costume dresses in the closet? The Harry Potter room, with brooms and potions on the wall? The Avengers room with the Xbox? Or maybe they’ll just switch around every night! From the “Haunted Mansion Landing” inside to the “Seven Dwarves Cottage” outside, this 7-bedroom home has enough themed spaces that you’re bound to find at least one to connect with — there’s even a life-sized raptor dinosaur held captive in a cage in the backyard, plus a “Jurassic Lab” with artifacts and a Power Wheels jeep for little paleontologists to climb aboard. For grown-ups, the safari-themed room, the Cocoa Beach room, and the Arabian Nights rooms are elegant bedroom spaces without being too kitschy. There’s also a screen-enclosed (for bugs) outdoor pool and jacuzzi.

Harry Potter Meets Frozen at this 9-Bedroom Estate

Airbnb

Universal or Disney? You won’t have to choose between the two at this sprawling property, which has nine bedrooms (and nine bathrooms!) to choose from and thematic elements from both studios. The 6,700-square foot home has odes to both Disney and its Potter-loving rival, plus a Jurassic Arcade Room and 13-seat movie theater with recliner seats and stadium seating. Grown-ups will appreciate that the themed portions of this home are limited only to the two kids’ bedrooms (which sleep 8, in total) and the arcade. The rest of the place is immaculately adult (but still “kid-friendly”), with a dining table for 15, subdued colors throughout, upscale furniture, and a gorgeous outdoor pool and spa with a rock grotto. It’s also right next to a conservation area so is surrounded by palm trees and greenery.

This Stunning Lap of Luxury with an Indoor Castle

Airbnb

If you can find a few friends to go in on this swanky home with you, all we can say is… we’re jealous! This stunning home is both super-luxurious and incredibly kid-friendly at the same time (in other words, you’ll be as wowed by it as the kids).  The kids’ bedrooms feature OMG elements like replica pirate ships and huge castles, while the adult bedrooms (and bathrooms) are pristinely decorated to be both clean and elegant. Outside, there’s an impressive entertaining space with a TV and dining room plus a resort-style pool where you’ll want to spend all your time (Hint: You can see the Disney fireworks on a clear night!). Kids will love the indoor arcade—which has a twirly slide plus enough games to keep everyone busy. There’s also an indoor movie room that’s impeccably designed to look like a drive-in movie theater.

Want to explore? A golf cart is included in the rental so you can cruise the neighborhood—a gated community with amenities including mini golf, tennis, basketball/volleyball courts, a fitness center, a tiki bar, outdoor pools, playgrounds, and walking trails. This is a good life!

The Airbnb That Will Save Your Wallet

Airbnb

A free golf cart during your stay isn’t the only cool perk you’ll score by choosing this gated community rental just five minutes from Disney. The home also offers eight bedrooms, a pool (with a view of the Disney fireworks on a clear night!), a Harry Potter-themed game room, and three Disney-themed children’s rooms perfect for slumber parties—all for less than you’d pay for one night at Mickey’s house. Split the costs with another family and you’ll be all ready to make it a “Yes Day” when your kids ask, “Pretty please?” at the park.

It’s Princess vs. Pirates vs. Star Wars at this Airbnb

Airbnb

Whether you’re on Team Princess or Team Star Wars, you’ll have a blast at this 8-bedroom Airbnb where pirates, princesses, and Star Wars characters come together, room by room. It’s a place where “going to bed” means climbing aboard a pirate ship, or into a castle, or aboard a Rogue One Imperial Walker; where every themed room has a full costume closet; and where the movie room houses a giant Jabba the Hut on one side and a stuffed wall of space suits on the other. There’s also an enclosed pool and hot tub, and a Cinderella carriage propped out front waiting to take imaginations to the ball. Oh, and it’s just 10 minutes from Disney!

This Frozen and Star Wars Themed Airbnb with Waterpark Access

Airbnb

This 6-bedroom Airbnb has a Frozen bedroom decked in Elsa Blue along with a Star Wars room with two bunk beds—plus four other non-themed bedrooms to offer some reprieve from the noisy bustle of the theme parks. But perhaps the best thing about this place is that it’s located inside a Kissimmee resort with enough amenities that you’ll want to schedule a whole day away from the parks to explore the grounds.  When you’re not at Disney, your kids can zip down one of five waterslides (there’s a whole structure for smaller kids, with smaller slides and a splash area), play beach volleyball, or dine with you at the upscale clubhouse restaurant. There’s also a gym, playground, and indoor children’s play area—plus daily shuttles to/from Disney, Universal, and Sea World.

Sleeps: 16
Cost: $319

This Royal Airbnb for Little Princes and Princesses

Airbnb

Calling all divas and princesses! This luxuriously decked-out 5-bedroom home is both swanky and fun, with adorable pirate ship beds (with moving cannons!) and an enchanting tiki room with bamboo beds that seem to hang from the ceiling. The living room is done up in royal pink, with plush curtains that hide a lush lounge area. The other bedrooms have a fun beachy vibe, with palm trees fronds drooping from the ceiling and nautical murals on the walls. Outside, a tropical pool and hot tub beckon, while the house itself sits just against a waterway, across from a golf course, and six miles from Disney World. Want to up your game? Add on a real treasure hunt (this can be arranged with the host), with hidden maps, clues, and a treasure chest full of goodies at the finish line.

Sleeps: 15
Cost: $262

This Airbnb That’ll Take You To a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Airbnb

The host calls this home a “live-in movie set,” and it’s no wonder why: From the Millennium Falcon twin bed surrounded by starry night walls to the “Cloud Bedroom” that has an under-the-bed fog machine to make it look like the mattress is floating mid-air, the force is strong all over this 9-bedroom home. Even the hallways are done up right, with faux metallic-plated walls that make you feel like you’re marching through an actual spacecraft. Of course, parents may want to spend a little time on Earth, so common areas like the kitchen and living room feel a little more terrestrial, with leather couches and simple black and white decor. Little Skywalkers will love the playroom, which has a pool table and ping pong table, and families will want to save some time for the outdoor pool, which is screened-in (er, force-fielded?  to protect from Florida’s notorious bugs.  And while you’ll feel “far, far away,” you’re actually only 15 minutes from Disney World.  No wormholes needed.

Sleeps: 16+
Cost: $347
