Oak Plantation Reviews??

[poohmomof3]

HI,

Considering staying here with my family of 5 in late April or early May 06. Our plans are to spend a few days at Sea World, a few at Disney and maybe Universal or a beach.

How is the resort & location? Is it a safe place?

I'd appreciate any advice.

I stayed here in January 2003. The resort itself was quite nice ~ the pool and hot tub were very clean and water was warm. We had a one bedroom unit and it was "okay" The location is the pits. There is so much construction on 192 that it took literally 30-40 minutes to get to Disney. There is lots of shopping in the area (Walmart, Walgreens, mall) but I did not feel safe out at night-time.
My DS5 was sick in the night and my DH had to go out for Gravol etc. about 2am. I was on the phone with our insurance company trying to decide where to take him and the phone literally came off the wall and disconnected my long distance call! Its funny now, but at the time very frustrating.
I do remember the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were to leave the next day on the Magic for 7 days Eastern and were frantic when Joshua got that sick. They were so nice to us (& he was so much better the next day ~ we did our cruise!)
I would stay closer to Lake Buena Vista due to traffic and safety. Bryan's Spanish Cove is a great condo on SR535 as well as Vistana. You may even want to try the Springhill Suites on Vineland Ave.
