HGVC I Drive vs Sea World

[awatt]

Deciding between these two for a weekend trip to catch some Christmas events at WDW. I Drive is rated higher on tripadvisor. The rates at seaworld are better. Is there a big difference between the two properties?

Between the two, I've only been to the HGVC seaworld and it is very nice. I liked the pools, on-location theater, and the croquet court!

Thank How was the rive to Downtown Disney and Disney parks?

We have stayed at both. They are actually not that far apart from each other. The pools at the sea world location are larger. The idrive location is right next to the outlets and a bit closer to Disney.

The quality of both resorts is a out the same. Idrive is newer but SeaWorld has been recently renovated. Sea world has more amenities at the resort if that makes a difference. I think most prefer the parc soliel resort and the drive over sea world mainly due to the newness of the other 2. Depending upon your route I would drive past downtown Disney and enter through the main central pocatik. It was faster as they are working at downtown Disney and traffic was busy. It took around 15 min to get to the lower parka and longer to the Mk.

Drive time between the two is similar but idriilve and parc are going to save a few min but it's not enough to really complain about IMHO.

OP, are you planning on taking in any of the Seaworld Christmas events during your visit? If so, then I would choose the HGVC at SW for the onsite benefits you will receive (free Quick Queue in particular). Seaworld's Christmas Celebration is not to be missed....it truly is spectacular and the decorations are gorgeous. Best of all, there's no special ticket required. Everything is included in your regular admission. If you can squeeze it in among your Disney attractions, I would highly recommend it .
