Offsiters where will you be staying on your next trip

[kathy884]

Would love to hear where you are staying on your next offsite trip. Variety is the spice for life and there are so many great offsite options.

I'm going down Dec. 13th (before most of the Christmas crowds roll in) and staying at one of the two bedrooms at Cypress Point. My parents traded some timeshare points and Cypress Point which we love didn't require many points at all (two weeks for one -- Orlando and Puerto Vallarta for a trade of their one week in Sedona). Can't wait // first time ever for me to be traveling at a low crowd time. DH is staying home. I'm going down with DS after his college finals and meeting up with my mom and dad. We'll be back home for Christmas week.

So where are you staying? Tell us about it.

Love Cypress Pointe. One of our favourites. We also love Orange Lake. We did a split stay at Cypress/Orange Lake for 12 days last March. This year we booked Orange Lake for 13 days in March. Trying to find a good rate for off site Dec 18th to 26th. No luck yet. Surprise xmas trip.

We are staying at Sheraton Vistana Resort again this next trip (we leave in 18 days! ) . This will be our second stay, after we fell in love last summer .

In addition to an onsite stay at POR, we have also done offsite vacations at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, Residence Inn SeaWorld (an onsite SW property), the StaySky Suites (an International Drive hotel) and Lowes Royal Pacific at Universal.

The Vistana is our new home. Its the only place we will consider for future Orlando vacations.

We are going for the week after Thanksgiving. We used to stay at Shearaton Vistana and have also stayed at Cypress Point but the traffic around there is a total nightmare. Three years ago we tried Silver Lake and fell in love with it. The resort itself is smaller than Vistana but the units are bigger. You can back door it into WDW and avoid all the traffic. Great restaurants and grocery stores near by.

Holiday Inn club vacations Orange Lake. It is in Kissimmee!
Huge Huge property, with tons of onsite activities. My kids really like the 3 mini putts, and the loved going tubing in the lake.

We're doing our first offsite stay after 9 onsite trips in December. We'll be going to Orlando from December 5th to the 14th. 2 nights onsite at Universal and 7 nights at Sheraton Vistana Resort. I've always wanted to try offsite and found a fabulous rate for the Vistana that made the decision for me this time. Looking forward to trying something new and having all that space for such a fabulous price.

the backdoor to WDW was a lot easier back years ago. There was a road through the back of DTD (Lake Buena Vista back then!) that went almost right to the Fort Wilderness area/CR area. I don't recall the name of the road but it is still there on the MK side, I just don't know how it connects from DTD now.

We will be at the caribe royale villas in December.

We stayed there last yr. Really nice!

I don't know if any are members of the American Legion, but they have offers for many hotels/resorts that can't be beat! I did just find out about them and if you can join and check it out well worth it! Also, Wyndam group gets 20% off with the card.

We will be at WBC in August (1st time -- so excited!), WH Townhouse in November and still haven't decided where we'll be in April. We're going to get one last trip in before our WDW APs expire.

Wyndham Cypress Palms is my go to place. Just love it. Will be there at the end of October for 2 weeks.

 

[MOpGrad2013]

Currently booked in June at Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista on Palm Parkway. Loved the townhouse in WH, but changing up city locations. Plus, we are traveling with another family and extra teenagers (17, 18, 19) so the included breakfast, shuttle (we drive) to parks, free hotel parking and no resort fee...all made it better for the budget.

This is our family's first visit to Disney World. We are going from September 27th to october 10th. We are staying the first 7 nights at Wyndham Bonnet Creek and the next 6 at Sheraton Vistana Village. We are all really excited.
