We just came back from the Sheraton Safari, which has suites and a great pool with a water slide shaped like a snake. My kids, 7 and 3, wanted to leave the parks every day in the afternoon to swim for a few hours. The hotel is close to parks, and very near Downtown Disney. We did rent a car so we could avoid waiting for the shuttle. We used Starwood points and got 3 nites free (for 3000 points each, regular room) but I know people are using priceline for this hotel as well with good success. The pool is great, the room was okay, and we asked for a fridge which was delivered promptly and saved us even more $$. This hotel is on Apopka-Vineland, and is near many restuarants if you want to eat off-site also. Try for a poolside suite. Good luck.
