I can't help you with your drive, but we stayed at the Sheraton Vistana Resort last month and last November. Go to their website and register for the Diamond Lane check in. (faster service) there you can put in requests as to which area you would like.
There are newer units and older units. We stayed in the Cascades last month, it is the newest and I think most convenient to general store/close to pool/ and food. (It was only 4 adults and we weren't there most of the time) Although it was newer it was smaller than last November when we stayed in the Fountains.
The units in the Fountains were quite a bit bigger. Especially noted in the Kitchen and guest bathroom. I believe if you booked through a timeshare that does not include housekeeping they will give you a packet of coffee/filter, automatic dishwasher detergent, towels, etc to get you started then you have to buy those things, and wash towels. If you got a housekeeping rate they do come in daily and clean up, give you more detergent, etc. Ours was a housekeeping rate, but we did have to purchase ... Dawn dish detergent, laundry detergent, coffee filters/coffee (Mr. coffee regular size). There is a SuperWalmart further down on 535, when you pull out of vistana take a right go through interection of 535/536. About 1-2 mi on right hand side set back is SuperWalmart. I'd do a search on this site there is a very helpful woman that knows ALOT about this resort. Not sure of her name, but her replies have a picture of her older children in front of a sign for the food/wine festival.
Enjoy!!!
