Sheraton Vistana Resort - Friday Check-IN

[luvdisney14]

We have an 8/6 unit checking in on a Friday, we will we be placed? I am hoping for cascades. I also might try lakes or fountains. I just love the cascade's pool.

A Friday check-in can get you anything EXCEPT : Courts or Falls (Falls has only 2 twin size beds in the second bedroom though instead of 2 full size beds).

Could you tell me how many 1 bedroom units that they have. We have a chance to take one of their promotional vacations. How much pressure do they put on you?

Walter,
I am not certain how many 1 bedrooms they have, but it's a smaller percentage compared to the 2 bedrooms. The only 2 bedroom lockoffs are located in the two newest sections----Lakes and Cascades. So if you reserve a 1 bedroom, you will be in one of the two newest sections.
Pressure.....I find Vistana to be moderate to high pressure based on my past experiences. Every single year we check-in for our yearly vacation, they try and get us to purchase more time. Saying "no" can be hard because they can be persistant. We have taken to unplugging our phones while we're there. This year, Vistana introduced a new "perk" to owners. Sort of like a deluxe/concierge check-in where we can bypass the lines in the main lobby and check-in is in another area exclusively for owners. I will admit it was quicker and less stress, but the so-called concierge who accompanies you to your villa ("to assist you"), is no more than a sales man for the resort. All he did was talk up Vistana and their new properties/programs while he watched us cart our luggage into the room. We were tired and in no mood. I really wish they'd give it up with trying to push more time on us.
