    Sheraton vistana deal-do you get the $100 right at ck in?

    We were in Fountains I because the jacuzzi was in the bathroom. We got the $100 in cash, not Vistana dollars. This was our second time at the Vistana and would love to stay there again.

    Sheraton vistana deal-do you get the $100 right at ck in?

    We had this deal as well in April. You will have to go to another desk where they will try to sign you up for the timeshare presentation. We told them we weren't interested but they told us that we could get our $100 the next day. We went back the next morning and they still tried to sell us...

    The Seas with Nemo and Friends

    We saw Turtle Talk with Crush and rode the Nemo ride. Turtle Talk was much better; it was interactive and the kids loved it. The Nemo ride was kind of boring. If there's no line, go ahead and do it. But if you had to wait I'd say don't bother.

    sheraton vistana resort

    Yes, we paid the tax upon check-out. I think it was $12.50 a night or something like that. The original deal we were offered was $169 for 4 nights in a 1BR, but the week we wanted to go they had no 1BR available, so for $249 we stayed in a 2BR. We would have been happy with the 1BR as well...

    sheraton vistana resort

    We stayed at the Vistana in 11/05, so I guess we are on their mailing list now. Back in August we received the invitation which was good for one year. I doubt we'll be lucky enough to get another especially since we weren't interested in attending the timeshare presentation.

    sheraton vistana resort

    We just returned from a 4-night stay. We received an invitation for 4 nights in a 2BR villa for $249, plus $100 cash back upon check in and no timeshare presentation. Although when we checked in the sales guy made us come back twice before he finally gave us the $100. He said we can get $200...

    Nemo Show?

    We went to the first show at 11:30 a.m. and it was packed. It's a really cute show. I would say it's best for kids under 10. My kids are ages 7 and 9 and they enjoyed it.

    Narnia

    We were just there this week and it's at MGM. I wouldn't wait on line too long for it though. You just go into a big room with trees and snow and they show clips from the movie.

    converting 14-day exp tickets to non-expiring

    We purchased 4-day hopper passes from Undercover Tourist and received 2 days free. We only used 4 days and wanted to know if we can convert the last two days to non-expiring tickets. We're already home and didn't think about it while we were at the parks. I called our local Disney Store and...

    April 21-28 - Did I goof

    I have a subscription to the UG and the crowd levels the week of 4/22 are projected to be between 5 and 7 so it should be fine.

    Sheraton Vistana resort promotions

    I forgot to mention that we also were getting the $100 cash back as well. It would have been $169 but the week in April we are going they didn't have any 1 BR villas available, so for an additional $20/night we get the 2 BR. It's still a great deal. I guess we're on the mailing list because...

    Sheraton Vistana resort promotions

    We will be staying at the Sheraton Vistana in April 2007 at a promotional rate of $249 for 4 nights for a 2-BR villa. Does anyone know if there is a particular section they put you in when you get a promotional rate? We were told we'd be in a villa with a king bed in the MBR and 2 double beds...

    Anyone Eat at Giordano's?

    Our family ate at Giordano's in Nov. '05 and it was by far the worst pizza we have ever had. We are from NJ where a great pizza place is on every corner, and this didn't even come close. I've had frozen pizza that was better than this; it was like cardboard. Maybe we hit it on an off night...

    Hotel Reviews

    What are the names of some websites that show reviews of hotels in the Disney area? After reading some reviews, we stayed at the Sheraton Vistana in November and now I can't remember what websites I looked at. Thanks for the help.

    When is Jersey Week this year?

    We were there in November for Jersey week, and it wasn't bad at all. The crowds were manageable with minimal waits. We used fastpasses for the more popular rides. The longest wait we had was 15 minutes. The weather is great that time of year. It was 80 degrees everyday and no rain. Have fun!

    How crowded is Jersey Week?

    We were just there during Jersey week and although there were lots of people in the parks, we had minimal waits. We did AK on Sunday, MK on Monday and Tuesday and MGM on Thursday. I think the longest wait was for the Rockin' Roller Coaster at MGM (about 20 mins). We used fastpasses very...

    Which week this year is Jersey week.

    We were just there 11/5-10. Since this was our first trip I have nothing to compare it to, but I didn't think the crowds were bad at all. According to the UG the crowd level was at 7 for the weekdays, so I was a little worried before we got there. We were in Magic Kingdom for two days and...

    November Crowds?

    We were there 11/5-10. I didn't think the crowds were bad at all. We used Fastpass as much as we could and the longest wait was about 15 minutes for the Rockin Roller Coaster at MGM. I would recommend getting an early start and you should be fine. The weather was sunny and 80 degrees all week.
