10 reasons why you should celebrate May the 4th in Orlando, Florida, at Disney’s theme parks next year

 

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a phrase was born that would unite fans across generations: May the Fourth be with you!

 

Book this home

 

What started as a clever play on words has evolved into an annual holiday dedicated to celebrating all things Star Wars. And if you’re looking for the ultimate way to mark this special day next year, there’s no better place to do it than in Orlando, Florida, at Disney’s theme parks.

 

Orlando is home to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge transports guests directly into the world of Jedi, Sith, and smugglers. You’re not simply visiting a theme park – you’ll be stepping into your own fully immersive Star Wars adventure.

 

That’s why today is the perfect time to plan your 2026 May the Fourth trip to Orlando!

 

#1. Exclusive May the 4th celebrations and merch

Disney goes all out in its Star Wars themed area Galaxy’s Edge for May the 4th, often featuring special events, exclusive merchandise, themed food and drinks and unique character appearances. Imagine sipping on a blue milk while mingling with stormtroopers or hunting down rare collectibles that are only available on this galactic holiday.

 

#2. Make it a long weekend

In 2026, May 4th is a Monday, with May 5th – the day for the Revenge of the Fifth – falling on a Tuesday. This gives you the perfect excuse to turn your May the 4th trip into a super-galactic long weekend!

Book one of our homes for five days. Arrive Saturday, settle in, then spend Sunday chilling by the pool. Head to the parks for two days enjoying the Star Wars themed festivities. Then enjoy another pool day before you head back for a two-day week! Enjoy it you will!

#3. Special evening activities on select dates

Disney puts on a show for May the 4th. The parks host special events with character appearances and evening activities – such as light sabre classes. Make sure you visit on a special date (May 4th included, of course) so you can linger and enjoy the show.

 

#4. Build your own light sabre

What would-be Jedi wouldn’t want to build their own light sabre? Guests can book special workshops at Disney Hollywood Studios in Disney World to create their very own customized light sabre. For a mere $250 (2025 prices) you can book into a special session at Savi’s Workshop in Galaxy’s Edge where you can create the lightsabre you’ve wielded in your imagination!

#5. Ride the fastest ship in the galaxy

Ride in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon on a daring Smugglers Run. This thrill ride is great for kids and adults alike. Whether you’re a pilot, engineer or gunner, the Millennium Falcon will blast off, pushing you and your crew back into your seats when you jump into hyperspace.

 

#6. Combine forces with the resistance

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a massive attraction with multiple ride systems. Hidden in the forest outside Black Spire Outpost, the Rise of the Resistance is another kid-friendly thrill ride. Your mission has unexpected twists and turns – especially when your transport is captured by an imposing First Order Star Destroyer filled with legions of stormtroopers!

#7. Create your own sidekick

Take your choice of the BB-series unit or R-series unit and receive a basket and blueprint for parts, then you can begin your droid-building experience at Black Spire Outpost’s industrial depot.

#8. Try to stay out of trouble at the Cantina

For those who have long dreamed of visiting one of the galaxy’s most infamous watering holes, Oga’s Cantina brings that dream to life. To sup on a Jedi Mind Trick cocktail, Bad Motivator IPA or Toniray wine, it’s highly recommended that you book in advance, which you can do through the Disney app after purchasing your theme park tickets.

 

#9. Once you’ve saved the galaxy, head back to the pool for a dip

It’s a great atmosphere and super fun, but there is nothing like being able to return to the comfort of your own vacation home after a busy day at Orlando’s theme park.

Book this home

Choose one of our homes with private pools and you can rest those tired limbs and recover from your intergalactic adventures in the best way possible.

 

#10. Go back for more…

In recent years, a new May celebration has grown in popularity. May 5th is the day for Revenge of the Fifth – when the dark side gets to celebrate its own villainous antiheroes… Or perhaps it’s yet another great excuse to enjoy all the fun of Galaxy’s Edge and Disney Hollywood Studios for an extra day!

St Patricks Day celebrates St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It’s a day to wear green and celebrate your love of all things Irish!

 

It’s a big day in the USA since many Americans have a claim to some Irish ancestry.

 

But how should you celebrate St Patrick’s Day? If you’re visiting Orlando today, on 17^th March, why not try some of these ideas? Head over and join the revelries!

 

Raglan Road at Disney Springs

 

The party is already in full swing over at Disney Springs. Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant kicked off its annual St Patrick’s Day festival on Friday 14 March, with events and celebrations through until today.

 

 

The Irish themed pub serves up traditional and contemporary Irish dishes made with the finest local ingredients. Feast on hearty favourites like bangers & mash, fish & chips, shepherd’s pie, boxty potato pancakes and braised beef short ribs. And, of course, you can enjoy a pint of Guinness or an Irish whisky.

On St Patrick’s Day, you can enjoy the St Patrick’s Day celebration atmosphere with live Irish dancing performances during the day and then with live music later into the evening.

View the performance list here.

 

Mulligans in Celebration

 

Mulligans Irish Pub on Blake Boulevard in Celebration, too, has been partying all week in preparation for today. The Irish pub in the charming lakeside town of Celebration has been winding up to St Patricks Day with a series of events from Monday 10^th March.

Sadly, it’s located away from the downtown Celebration area, but it’s close to the Publix supermarket at Water Tower Shoppes. You can read more about its St Patrick’s Day events here.

Today, you can head over there to enjoy a pint of Guinness in a convivial atmosphere before the party kicks off at 5pm with a live DJ.

 

The Harp and Celt Restaurant in downtown Orlando

 

If you’re willing to venture as far as downtown Orlando, you can check out The Harp and Celt Restaurant and Pub, which has been serving up Irish hospitality in Orlando for some 15 years.

Since 2007, The Harp and Celt has been pouring the perfect pints of Guinness and cooking up classic Irish dishes, like Irish stew, fish and chips and traditional Irish breakfasts, from its Magnolia Avenue location.

 

 

The Magnolia Avenue part of downtown Orlando is known for its lively atmosphere, with bars, restaurants, and cultural spots like theatres and galleries. The area is popular for its nightlife and events, so it can be bustling and energetic depending on the area and time of day.

St Patrick’s Day is a great opportunity to explore the area while enjoying some authentic Irish hospitality.

 

St Patrick’s Day at SeaWorld

 

If you have little ones with you or you would simply prefer the slower pace of a more family-oriented event, SeaWorld has an option for you. There, you can enjoy a little of the St Patrick’s Day spirit as part of your park admission.

The SeaWorld Orlando St. Patrick’s Day Celebration is a lively and family-friendly event that takes place as part of the park’s Seven Seas Food Festival. The event is designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for all ages, making it a great outing for families.

 

 

SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival runs from January 31 to May 4, 2025, on select dates. It features over 190 internationally inspired dishes, along with a variety of wines, craft beers and cocktails. There’s also live music and concerts from popular artists every weekend, included within the park admission. The festival incorporates themed events like Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo and, of course, St. Patrick’s Day.

This year, the St Patrick’s Day festivities run from March 13–17 and March 20–23, 2025.

The heart of the celebration is the Irish Market Plaza where you’ll discover live Irish music, stilt walkers and vibrant entertainment throughout the day. You can enjoy live performances from talented musicians and performers who bring the spirit of Ireland to life with traditional melodies and dances. Dig into some traditional Irish cuisine, with classic dishes like shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, and themed drinks such as the Shamrock Sour.

 

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

 

We hope we’ve inspired you with some St Patrick’s Day ideas… However you are celebrating, we wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day!

Lights, camera, popcorn! If you’re a movie buff or simply love the comforting crunch of a fresh bowl of popcorn, there’s no better way to celebrate National Popcorn Lovers Day than with an unforgettable stay in one of our vacation homes with private movie rooms.

 

National Popcorn Lovers Day falls each year on the second Thursday in March. This year, that’s today – the 13^th March! That makes today the perfect day to celebrate your love for this delicious snack!

 

The ultimate movie-watching experience

Since some of our vacation homes boast private movie theatre rooms, we thought we’d share some highlights with you on National Popcorn Lovers Day.

 

These fun movie rooms are the perfect space for chilling with a movie and a bucket of your favourite popcorn.

 

Enjoy a luxury movie theatre experience at Anchors Away! View home here

 

Why choosing a movie room is a great idea for an Orlando vacation

We love Orlando’s theme parks. But we all know a long day on your feet traversing the parks can be tiring, especially for little ones.

 

It’s one of the most compelling reasons to stay at one of our vacation homes … you get some quiet space away from the parks where you can enjoy some downtime, relax and recharge.

 

The pool is, of course, our favourite way to relax and recharge! But on your quiet days, it can be a wonderful choice to experience luxury, relaxation and endless entertainment in our state-of-the-art movie theatre rooms. Sink into plush, reclining seats and enjoy the immersive experience of our high-definition screens and surround sound systems.

 

After your kids have seen their favourite characters and themed rides around the parks, they are usually itching to watch the movie again! Simply add your favourite snacks and your loved ones, then sit back in the comfort of your own vacation home and enjoy!

 

Popcorn perfection

Of course, no movie night is complete without popcorn – and we’ve got you covered. Our vacation homes feature fully equipped kitchens with everything you need to whip up the perfect batch of popcorn. Plus, some of our homes even have their own movie-theatre-style popcorn makers!

 

Check out the wonderful popcorn maker at Blissful Retreat! View home here.

 

Family fun and more…

Our movie theatre rooms are perfect for family fun nights, romantic date nights or just some much-needed downtime. Beyond movies, these versatile spaces are great for gaming sessions, karaoke nights or watching sports events. The possibilities are endless, and the memories are priceless.

 

Enjoy movies, games and more at Sunshine at Solterra. View home here.

 

Book your 2026 stay today

Fancy a spring break in 2026 with movies and popcorn thrown in? Browse our homes now!

 

Next year, why not celebrate National Popcorn Lovers Day the right way, with luxury, comfort and, of course, plenty of popcorn!

 

Happy National Popcorn Lovers Day! 🍿🎥

 

We’re excited to have transitioned from Ciirus PMS to Streamline PMS. We believe this powerful platform will enhance your experience as a White Rose Villas owner.

 

One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is how owner statements are structured. We understand that adjusting to a new system takes time, so this blog is intended as a guide that will help you to navigate the key differences and new features.

 

Key differences between Streamline & Ciirus statements

 

1. Enhanced statement layout and organization

A major improvement in Streamline is how statements are structured.

• Ciirus Statements were very basic, similar to a bank statement, listing transactions without a clear breakdown of income, expenses, or financial details. There was no summary, making it difficult to get a quick financial overview.
• Streamline Statements provide a detailed, itemized breakdown of all income, expenses, and deductions, offering much greater transparency and clarity.

 

2. Monthly statement generation

Both Ciirus and Streamline generate statements on a monthly basis rather than in real time. Your finalized statement will be available by the 15th of each month, reflecting all income, expenses, and payouts.

• Ciirus: Monthly statements with a simple transaction list.
• Streamline: Monthly statements with structured sections, making it easier to track financials.

 

3. Cleaning charges have changed

With the move to Streamline, you will no longer see cleaning charges for WRV guest bookings on your statement. You’ll see only cleaning charges for:

• Owner stays
• Owner guest stays
  will now appear as an expense.

This means greater clarity in tracking your own charges versus those covered by White Rose Villas for guest bookings.

 

Let’s take a look at the different sections of the Streamline statements so you know what to expect.

 

Understanding the Streamline statement sections

 

1. Account summary

This section provides an overview of your income and expenses, giving you a high-level breakdown of your monthly financials.

•  “Balance Due” – This is the amount being paid to the owner.
•  “Total Balance Owed” – This is the amount the owner owes to White Rose Villas.

• Scroll down to the bottom of “Your Account Summary” on your statement.
• The “Balance Due” reflects your owner payout.
• The “Total Balance Owed” indicates any charges or fees due to White Rose Villas

 

2. Reservations

This section offers more transparency into who stayed at your property. Unlike Ciirus, which only showed amounts, this section in Streamline includes:

• The number of nights booked
• Guest reservation details
• The commission charged, ensuring full transparency

 

3. Owner payments / Additional owner income

This section lists any payments made by the owner and additional income from extras such as:

• Pool heat charges
• Other additional services requested by guests
• Payments you’ve made toward expenses

Descriptions in this section provide clarity on each transaction.

 

4. Owner charges and expenses

This section breaks down all property-related expenses, such as:

• Maintenance or call-out fees

• Monthly service fees
• Utility payments (utility statements can be viewed in attachments)
• Housekeeping or repairs
• Cleaning fees (only for owner stays and owner guest stays)

Each charge is clearly itemized, making it easy to track property costs.  Figures in brackets are charges to the owner.

 

5. Payments to owner

This section shows any payments sent to you, providing clarity on:

• How much was disbursed
• When the payment was made
• The total amount you received

 

6. Owner held

This section reflects funds that are being held on your account for future disbursement. These transactions have not yet been charged but will be processed at a later date.

 

7. Monthly fee: software and support service fee

 

Where to find your statements in Streamline

You can access your statements in both the Streamline app and the desktop portal:

1. Log into your Owner Portal.
2. Navigate to Dashboard > Reports > Month-End Statements.
3. Select the month you want to review.
4. Download or print for your records if needed.

 

In addition to being available in the portal, statements have also been emailed as an attachment. If you haven’t received yours, please check your junk/spam folder or log in to the Owner Portal to access it.

 

Key takeaways

 

✅ More detailed, transparent statements than Ciirus
✅ Monthly statements are emailed and available in the Owner Portal
✅ Clear breakdown of reservations, expenses, and payments
✅ Easier tracking of owner income, additional fees, and disbursements
✅ Funds held for later disbursement are clearly labeled in “Owner Held”

 

 

Frequently asked questions

1. When are statements available?

Statements are generated monthly and are available in the Owner Portal by the 15th of the following month. They are also emailed to you as an attachment.

 

2. Why don’t I see a payment under “Payments to Owner”?

If you don’t see a payment listed in this section, it could mean:

• The payment is still being processed.
• There were no payouts for that month.
• Funds have been placed under “Owner Held” for later disbursement.

 

3. What is “Owner Held” and when will I receive these funds?

“Owner Held” represents funds that are being held on your account and will be disbursed at a later date. If you have questions about specific amounts in this section, please reach out to our team.

 

4. Can I get a real-time statement during the month?

No, statements are only available once the month is closed and processed. However, you can still review upcoming bookings and expected income in the Owner Portal.

 

5. What if I notice an error or discrepancy in my statement?

If you spot something that doesn’t seem right, please reach out to us as soon as possible, and we’ll review it for you.  The best contact is Amanda@whiterosevillas.com
Owners have 5 days to review the monthly statement.

 

Need help? We’re here for you!

We know that switching systems can take some getting used to, and we’re here to support you.

If you have any questions about your statement or need assistance navigating the Owner Portal, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Contact: Amanda@whiterosevillas.com or admin@whiterosevillas.com

 

Thank you for your patience and support as we transition to Streamline PMS. We’re confident this system will provide a more transparent and efficient experience for you as an owner.

We’re thrilled to announce that the new Owner Portal in Streamline has officially launched – and it’s already proving to be a game-changer for owners!

 

After months of planning, development and lots of rigorous testing, the rollout has gone incredibly smoothly. We’ like to thank you all for your feedback, engagement and support.

 

We’ve also been publishing some user guides. For more information about them, please keep reading!

 

Here’s a closer look at what makes this milestone so exciting and how you can get the most out of your new portal.

 

Phase 1: Getting owners onboard and embedding housekeeping

 

As part of the initial rollout, we’re focusing on Phase 1, which is all about getting owners onboard and familiar with the portal’s core features.

This phase is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition and empowering owners to effectively use the dashboard.

 

Key goals for phase 1:

• Onboarding owners: Ensuring all owners have successfully logged into the portal and set up their accounts.
• Embedding housekeeping: Streamlining housekeeping requests and communication through the portal.
• Dashboard familiarity: Helping owners get comfortable with navigating the dashboard and accessing key features.

 

We’re excited to report that many owners are already engaging with the platform, and we’re here to support those who are still getting started.

 

If you need extra help, please book time with Lisa to go over the dashboard. You should have a calendar link in your latest newsletter from us – so please book time directly into her calendar if you can.

 

You can also find a wealth of resources under the Owner Portal User Guide menu tab on our blog. Go to Homeowner Resources and, on the drop down menu, click Owner Portal User Guide.

 

We’ll shortly be progressing to phase 2 of the Owner Portal rollout.

 

Phase 2: Statements and guest reviews

 

Following the successful completion of Phase 1, we’ll be rolling out Phase 2, which introduces two exciting new features.

 

First Statement: The first owner statements, covering January, will be available on 15th February. These statements will provide a detailed breakdown of revenue and expenses for your property. You’ll be able to access them through the “Reports” tab in the portal.

 

Guest reviews: We’ll also be enabling the review section, allowing you to view guest feedback directly within the portal. This feature will give you valuable insights into guest experiences and help you better understand how your property is performing.

 

We’ll keep you updated as these features go live and provide any additional training or resources needed to get started with them

 

Extra information online

 

As we’ve mentioned, you can find additional information to aid with the transition under the Owner Portal User Guide tab on our blog.

A good night’s sleep is fundamental to any great vacation – and your guests’ happiness. That’s why good-quality, freshly laundered linens that are in good condition are a staple for any vacation home.

 

Your responsibility as vacation homeowner

 

Each home requires at least two sets of linens for each bedroom, as well as towels, washcloths and pool towels (if appropriate). We’re soon going to be running an inventory on all of the homes we manage to let each of our homeowners know how suitably equipped your home is.

To help you ensure an excellent guest experience, we also offer a linen service which includes the supply of good-value, good-quality household linens, including some bundle discounts for those vacation homeowners looking to stock or resupply their home.

Of course, you are welcome to supply your own linens. If you sent replacement linens to us by post, we can restock your home for you.

 

Taking an inventory for you

 

Jessica, our Housekeeping Manager, will be reaching out to review your current linen stock and to discuss any updates or replacements that may be needed.

 

 

This proactive approach ensures your property is always equipped with quality linens that enhance guest satisfaction and reflect our high standards. Vacation homes should always have a complete set of linens for each bed and a spare set stored in the closet for convenience. This ensures your property is always prepared for guest turnover and emergencies.

We also understand that some owners prefer to provide their own linens. Jessica will check your supplies and report back if any additional items are needed to maintain quality and consistency.

 

Our homeowner linen supply service

We are pleased to share our updated linen service pricing with you. This service ensures that your property is equipped with high-quality linens, offering a seamless and professional experience for both you and your guests.
