Buena Vista Suites-Discounts on Mousesavers

[areno79]

Mousesavers.com readers get a discount at Buena Vista Suites, which is NEAR Disneyworld. I'm taking this with a grain of salt because "near" can mean alot of things in reference to WDW Has anyone stayed here? We're currently booked at POP in May, it'll be me, DH, and 2 cousins (9 & 11). The rate is about the same as POP, but BV Suites would def. give us more space. I was wondering if it'd be worth it to have the space, and how close it really is to the parks...TIA!!

It look pretty close to me, but I have never stayed there,so I hope this is of some help!

I haven't stayed there yet - will be there on 3/30. I found a better rate going through BVS own website and using either a Gov't employee code or AA - both were lower than the Mousesaver's rate.

It's near HIFS (Nick Hotel) and MOWC. It's very close to EPCOT and MGM. Don't book there unless you have a car.

Thanks for the info, Lewis. We're actually driving down, so that wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't even consider staying offsite if I didn't have a car!

I've stayed at the Holiday Inn In Downtown Disney, would it be about the same distance?

FYI,
I just had quite the experience with a representative at Buena Vista Suites. Called around 2:00 (MTN) on a Friday, just asking some simple questions about shuttles routes: where they go, if they go directly to DD, if they go to Universal, how late they come back, just wanting some specifics for my vacation, I would rather not be stranded in a place I've never been. Well, apparently I wasn't asking politely, the lady started getting an attitude instead of trying to understand what exactly I was asking. I asked her why she was getting so upset, which made her more upset. She said rudely, "Well you asked me the question three times!" I said, " Well, you know what I'd probably rather not stay here anyway, I wont ask you anymore questions." She said, "Good." and hung up the phone.
Anyway, maybe it was just bad chemistry. But I would reccommend not staying there, less chance of having a similar experince.
I hope that helps.
