Park Royal Orlando

The Resort & Setting

Park Royal Orlando is a low-key, independent timeshare resort located at 1500 N Thacker Ave, Kissimmee, FL. The property offers studios and suites, an outdoor pool, sports courts, and in-room movie options that include Disney titles — a straightforward setup aimed at travelers who want a comfortable, affordable base rather than a full-scale resort experience. Google reviewers rate it 3.7/5 from over 1,500 reviews, describing it as casual and functional, which lines up with its positioning as a value-focused timeshare property in the Kissimmee market.

As an RCI-affiliated resort, Park Royal Orlando gives owners the option to deposit their week or points into the RCI exchange network and trade for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide, rather than returning to the same property every year.

The Area & Things to Do

Kissimmee sits in Osceola County, about 20 miles south of downtown Orlando, and is one of the busiest vacation bases in Central Florida thanks to its proximity to the major theme parks. Walt Disney World Resort — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom — is roughly 20 miles (32 km) away. Golfers can reach Orange County National Golf Club with ease, and families looking for something different can try iFLY Indoor Skydiving in Kissimmee itself. Shingle Creek offers a quieter, nature-based outing, while Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast makes for a longer day trip if you want to see NASA's history up close. Kissimmee also has its own spread of restaurants, outlet shopping and entertainment, so there's plenty to do without ever setting foot in a theme park.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Park Royal Orlando and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com lists it as a private, owner-to-owner resale and rental marketplace. You set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform — there's no commission on the sale, just a one-time listing fee to post your week.

Because Park Royal Orlando is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a large branded developer. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, as these vary and aren't published figures we can quote here. Ask specifically whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and exactly what the new owner will receive — for example, whether the RCI affiliation and any accumulated points or banked weeks carry over, or whether those reset with a change of ownership.

For renters, Park Royal Orlando tends to appeal to budget-conscious families wanting a simple studio or suite within driving distance of Disney and other Kissimmee attractions, rather than travelers seeking resort amenities like lazy rivers or multiple dining venues. Being upfront about the resort's casual style, its pool and sports courts, and its distance from the parks will help set realistic expectations for anyone renting your week.

Practical Notes

Kissimmee sees its heaviest visitor traffic during summer school holidays and around major US holidays, so owners renting out a week should expect stronger demand — and potentially higher achievable rates — during those periods. A rental car is genuinely useful here, since the resort's attractions and dining options are spread across Kissimmee and the wider Orlando area rather than concentrated on-site. If you're planning to use RCI to exchange your week rather than sell or rent it, check RCI's own deposit and exchange windows well ahead of your travel dates, as availability for popular periods can fill up early.
