Homewood Suites vs Cypress Pointe GV

[coachYO & my 3 girls]

Looking for 1st night, between these which would you take and why?
I have 2 DD's who want to swim and I'll want to veg with a cold one.
Thanks, YO

For one night, I would go with the cheapest. Both have a good reputation. We stayed at CPGV for 3 nights, and it is very nice.

How's the location of these 2 for getting to AKL and also for dinner that night and maybe going to one of the outlet malls?
Thanks, YO

Cypress Pointe is a short drive to Downtown Disney. Once you get on Disney property, the driving is quick. I heard there is an outlet mall not too far. If you pick Cypress Point, I would recommend a trip to the AAA for an Orlando road map. There are so many places to stay, and they seem like they are tucked away off the main highways(that's a good thing), but you need to know where you are going ahead of time.
