We are heading down next April with our two girls (both under 3) even though we have been strongly discouraged not to take them so young...anyways, we are debating between the sheraton vistana or bonnet creek...we need 2 bedrooms for the girls and it is too much onsite so wondering what everyone's thoughts were...thanks!
 
Second vote for Bonnet Creek. Like SpiceyCat said it's newer and the location can't be beat! You are right near all the action of the Boardwalk and Downtown Disney.

Have a great time planning!
 
I loved my stay Bonnet Creek, and highly recommend it. The location is superb, the units are clean, stylish, and very well equipped. The newer buildings have flat-screen tvs, but the older buildings have the better whirlpool tubs.

There are two potential downsides though. It is a pretty dense development---all high-rise buildings of a dozen floors +/- clustered around a lake. I think Vistana is mostly low-rise 3-4 floor buildings, much more spread out, and a bit more lushly landscaped. There also isn't much in the way of restaurants onsite (mostly sandwiches, wraps, pizza), while I think Vistana has at least a couple options. As the Hilton and Waldorf open, things might improve, but I don't have a good sense for how convenient they will be to the timeshare cluster. It probably won't be until the Wyndham hotel opens that this problem is truly solved.

These aren't deal-breakers to me, so personally I'd rather go with Bonnet Creek.
