Everything Is Minutes Away
Relax at Windsor at Westside
Some of the best activities near Magic Moments don't require a car at all. Just a five-minute walk from your front door, the Windsor at Westside resort amenities turn an at-home day into a luxury vacation: a zero-entry pool with a kids' waterpark, a tropical lazy river, a fitness center, sports courts, and the Tu Casa clubhouse and tiki bar.
It's the perfect way to break up park days — let the kids splash and slide while you unwind poolside, all included with your stay.
Walt Disney World Is Practically Next Door
Magic Moments puts all four Walt Disney World theme parks within easy reach. Disney's Animal Kingdom is the closest — just 8.3 miles from the front door — followed by Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios, plus Disney's Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon water parks. Being this close means you can rope-drop the parks in the morning, come home for a poolside afternoon, and head back for fireworks — no long commute, no resort parking marathon.
Universal Orlando & Epic Universe
Harry Potter fans get a magical head start at Magic Moments — our themed Harry Potter bedroom sets the mood before you ever reach the parks. And about 25 minutes away, Universal Orlando Resort delivers the real thing across three theme parks: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and the brand-new Epic Universe (opened 2025), home to a third Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, and a How to Train Your Dragon land. Add the Volcano Bay water park and the restaurants and shops of CityWalk, and Universal becomes a world all its own.
