    The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

    Are the vaulted ceilings and sky lights ONLY in Fountains? (And is that both Fountains 1 and 2?) What would be preferred in terms of being close to 1-2 big pools/activity center? Fountains? Cascades? Falls? Or something else? (It'd be a 2 bedroom and we need 2 beds in the 2nd room)

    Vistana Resort VS Vistana Villages

    Hello! I see a huge thread on the Resort. Not a ton on the Villages. Can anyone tell me what the differences are - pros/cons? We’ve stayed at the Resort before. Fountains section. It was nice but very spread out. A bit outdated but still comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Looking for...

    Hello! We stayed in the Fountains 2 section about 5 yrs ago. Returning back this summer. We had a top floor with vaulted ceilings. Loved it! The kids are now 14&15 and we’re looking for 2 beds in the guest room and to be near a big pool. The deeper the better! Is Fountains the best place...

    Hello! We haven't been to Sheraton Vistana in 4-5 years. When we stayed before we were in Fountains II section but found it a hassel to drive to the Cascades pool all the time. Back then, it seemed like that was the "main pool". Our kids are a bit older now (teens) and we'd like to be close...

    non Disney resort stay with teens & a great pool!

    We trade through II and are planning a trip to Orlando with our girls, 13 & 14 yrs old. We always get a 2 bedroom and the key desires in a resort would be a fun activity club, a pool with some depth to it (some seem to only be 4-5 feet at the deepest) and ideally mini-golf. 2 beds (vs 1 king)...

    Timeshare close to MK or EPCOT w/shuttle?

    This isn't going to be until NEXT fall so we have plenty of time. This summer we'll be at Marriott Royal Palms but that is a non-Disney trip. (We'll be doing a beach day, Sea World, Busch Gardens and a few pool days at the World Center!)

    Best Beach for Day Trip

    I know that Cocoa Beach is the closest to Orlando, but I'm not getting a ton of info on the beach itself. Can anyone recommend a beach 60-90 min away from Orlando that has snack bars/restaurants/souviner shops right there at the beach? Doesn't need to have a boardwalk or anything but just the...

    Marriott Royal Palms....

    We have a non Disney trip coming up in a few months and will be at the Marriott Royal Palms. Who's been that can tell me if it's best to go with a ground floor and have a walk-out patio OR Top (4th) floor? I know many resorts have higher/vaulted ceilings on the top floor, which I rather prefer...

    Timeshare close to MK or EPCOT w/shuttle?

    Hello...are there any timeshares (Interval International) that have shuttle service to the Disney parks? And if so, are the shuttles easy/convenient or more of a hassle than just parking there ourselves? Which timeshares do you recommend that are closest to MK and/or EPCOT? Looking for 2...

    So more about the mermaid tails... You can choose 30 min ($20) or 45 min ($30) and kids are fitted with either a mermaid tail or fins. Our session was just 4 mermaids and one of the scuba instructors. They breifly teach the kids how to swim with the tails on. They make sure they can swim on...

    Well - important t check your bill when you leave. They had someone else's Cascades lunch, snack and bar bill for an entire day, on our tab. Two orders of wings. Onion rings, nachos, fries, liqueur,beer - totaling about $60. When I questioned it, they immediately pull receipts - discovered...

    It's our last night here and we're sad to be going home! We found out 2 weeks before that II had confirmed us in Lakes. (Not what I'd requested, but whatever. Figured we'd be happy wherever.). Requested top floor with view of the lake And that's exactly what we got! Lakes 2. It is gorgeous...

    No it's not sorted out. I've written back to the lady (at Sheraton) and tried calling but she's not responding. I figure I'm not living there, I'll just be there a week - so where the stick us won't matter I guess. Not starting off on a good note with me already. I never experienced this...

    Hmm I just got an email from the concierge desk and they said that Interval International already placed a request for me and I'm confirmed in the LAKES section. Why would they request anything for me? I'm going to write backto see if that can be changed. But so far, I'm not thrilled that...
