Let me start out by saying we've stayed at WBC and loved it. However I'm debating switching it up...how do LBV and VR compare to WBC? I have quotes for both LBV and WBC, but who should I check out to get one for SVR?

Thanks in advance!

For a Disney trip, Bonnet Creek has the best location by far.

I liked the room layout and decor a bit more at Vistana. However, this is more personal taste than anything. We were able to park right outside our unit, which was nice, but not all units are like that. The resort itself was much more spread out than Bonnet Creek and they charged for mini golf. The pool facilities have an early 1980s vibe -- a bit dated but workable.

Right outside is a Walgreens and a Chick-Fil-A and Wendy's, so you can grab some fast food and snacks. The traffic can be a bear around Vistana depending on when you are traveling.

I have not stayed at Lake Buena Vista, but I have driven past it many, many times on the way to Wal-Mart. If you want to shop in some outlet malls or go to Wal-Mart, they are super-close by.

If you are looking for a change, I would recommend any of the Marriott timeshare resorts, but they are further away from Disney and better for a Seaworld/Universal vacation.
 
Sheraton Vistana Resort is a very sprawling, large resort with mostly low-rise buildings. In comparison, WBC and LBV Resort & Spa both appear to have the tower-style high rise buildings. Only two sections of SVR have elevators, Lakes & Cascades. Many of the SVR buildings only house 4 units.

WBC does offer larger units (more than 3 bedrooms). SVR has 1 bed, 1 bed premium, 2 bed, and 2 bed lock-offs only. I am not sure about LBV.

TripAdvisor reviewers currently have SVR ranked at #41, LBV Resort & Spa at #48, and WBC at #91 out of the 329 properties in Orlando.

I just booked LBV for end of June/early July - we have stayed at WBC the past two years, so I will let you know how LBV compares when we get back!
