My MIL has RCI points and we have the option of doing Sheraton Vistana, Hilton Grand or paying out of pocket to stay onsite. We've only done one Disney trip and stayed onsite at AKL. This time, since MIL is coming, we'd have to get 2 rooms and have a baby this time - in addition to our to-be 5 and 3 year olds. So dragging 3 kids back and forth to the parks with just 2 adults (MIL will not be with us always) will be work. No naps planned - 17m baby can sleep in stroller as big sis did at 20 months.
I really prefer to stay on-site but the budget is screaming no since we are paying for MIL; though I think there are some RCI costs involved. We really are not value resort type people, so those are out. But for convenience it just makes sense to stay on-site. MIL and my family will be going in different directions 1/2 the time so only having 1 car, if that, would be difficult. We're not planning on Universal or Sea World or anything else. Just golf for DH but he could do that on-site.
Any feedback on which resort would be better (or onsite) would be greatly appreciated. How easy is it to get on/off property and park for MK? How far are the 2 resorts from WDW? How are the pools - MIL will likely spend a lot of time there?
Do I even have the Sheraton part for Vistana right for RCI participation? I read some other posts about the Vistana and wonder if the non-Sheraton part is ok for my picky family? But the Hilton Grand looks over the top.
Thanks!
