Looking for hotel/resort near Parks- suggestions?

[lilasmom]

We are staying offsite and I'm trying to find a resort/hotel near the parks. We've stayed at WBC and the family wants to try something new. We've also stayed at the Grand Beach and Reunion and like them both. We will have our own car, are a family of 4 and need a washer/dryer in the room and a decent kitchen to cook in. A nice pool is also a requirement. Any suggestions? Thanks!

We have stayed at both the Sheraton Vistana and the Sheraton Vistana Villages (most recently-July 1-7, 6 nights for $837 all included). Both are great and the deals being offered at the villages for non housekeeping rooms are great. Just note, that when booking a one bedroom, we found that you could choose either a 500 (apps.) sq./ft/ room or an 800 (apps.) sq./ft. room for the same cost. We got the 800 and it had a full kitchen, washer and dryer, dining area, family room, master bedroom, private screened porch and three section bath (all inter-connected, but a shower and sink in one section, a toilet in another and a sink and jetted tub in the third). We put 5 in the room (using a couple of air mattresses) and it did not feel to tight. There is plenty of room. We have also stayed in the two bedrooms at the Vistana and it was huge!

Both properties are close to one of the gates and have great pools. PM me if you are interested in pictures.

We have stayed at Windsor Hills two times in a townhouse and it was very nice, with the townhouse you have your own private splash pool but there is also a very nice community pool with a water slide. They have condos and house also. It is a five minute drive to the gates of Disney. There is a lot of websites that you could rent from windsorhillsrent.com or vacationcentralflorida.com come to mind.

We always rent from Windsor Hills and stay in a 3 bedroom condo. 7 nights for around $600.
