Sheraton Vistana Village shuttle buses...

[PoppyAnna]

Hi Brits,
Has anybody booked the Vistana Village (Int drive) through Virgin and if so, are the Disney Shuttle buses free of charge, I booked with this in mind as we a re a non driving group but have heard on a hotel forum that local shuttle charges were expensive from this hotel (or am thinking maybe it's a virgin guest perk).

Would love somebody to shed light in this...
Ta muchly.

Have stayed here with Virgin & had a really good holiday. Sorry but we had a car so can't help. Did read that there is a bus stop for the trolley bus outside the property if this helps.

oo thanks for speedy reply, I'm confident we can get about locally on the i-ride which stops outside and there is a supermarket (publix), and a few restaurants nearby apparently.
The scary story I heard was $8 per person each way for these shuttles to disney parks, for the five of us that's going to be a big cost, even a taxi van will be ooodles cheaper.

Thanks again.

PS Were you pestered with time share pressure? - some people say unplug the phone!

Hi

Publix is nearby (but not walking distance) - near to premium outlets.

Didn't have no problem with time share although they rung twice I think during our 3 week stay - so not bad. We were out most of the time so they probably kept missing us!

We had a 2 bed condo & we really loved it. Daily housekeeping is a bonus too.

Have a great holiday
