    Sheraton Vistana short review

    Stayed here for 2 nights last week. I was told at the front desk that they were "sold out" and they only has the Springs section ground floor available. Judging from the open parking spaces, I don't really think that was true; however the Springs section was very nice. Had a 2 bedroom villa...

    PBH - just back

    Before our trip, I was always looking for threads from people who just got back - so I thought I'd post a quick review of PBH. We were there last week and it was fabulous! Don't believe those trip advisor negative reviews; this hotel was great in everyway. We stayed in the Villa wing (room 2566...

    Quick DC/Seaworld report - just back

    We did see the Shamu show, and we were a little disappointed. Seeing the baby and her mother was very cute, but I guess after seeing the blue horizon show, we were expecting more. We totally understood why it's scaled down though, based on what happened. Don't get me wrong - it was still very...

    Quick DC/Seaworld report - just back

    Since I used this forum for all of my planning, I thought I'd post some things about our trip in case it could help others. We did a 5 day trip to Tampa and Orlando last week; overall had a great time. DC - fabulous place and well worth the cost. I payed $199pp for the dolphin interaction...

    Trip report - Nov 6-11 Day 3

    Day 3 - MK Today was the day I obsessively planned for. I picked Tues for MK based on the touring plan website suggestions and had the touring plans from the Unofficial Guide committed to memory! We arrived at opening, saw the opening show and ran with everyone else to Space Mtn. Got right...

    Trip report - Nov 6-11 Day 1&2

    This is our 2nd time driving. It's a really long day, but we saved about $1,000 in airfare for the 5 of us. My husband has a company car so we don't worry about putting miles on it. As long as the kids have plenty of DVDs, things are pretty quiet in the car. We've also gotten very lucky -...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort - just back

    I'm guessing the fireworks we saw were at MK since they were always at 8 or 9pm. We were on the 4th floor of the Cascades section right behind the reception center (our villa was #2467.) They were fairly far away, but still visible and a real treat for the kids.

    Sheraton Vistana Resort - just back

    I also noted no smell at all in our condo, except a "recently cleaned" type of smell (pleasant, not overwhelming at all.) I would guess that you would be better off in the newer sections, but I have only stayed in the Cascades section, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Our villa...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort - just back

    Our $139 rate was through the allearsnet website. I originally booked it at $149/night, then allearsnet dropped the rate to $139. So I re-booked at that rate. I thought it was a great deal. I know that alot of people have gotten better deals through skyauction, but we couldn't do 7 days and...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort

    We stayed at the SVR from Nov 6 - 11. We paid $139/night for a 2 bedroom villa with housekeeping - we booked using the allearsnet promotion code. We requested a top floor villa in the Cascades section, and we got just that. Our villa was clean, modern and very spacious. We have 3 kids, so...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort - just back

    We are just back from a 6 night stay at the Vistana Resort. All I can say is it was excellent. I requested through Diamond Lane a top floor 2 bedroom villa in the Cascades section and got just that. You could see the fireworks from the screened porch - the kids loved it. Very clean, the...
