We are also planning to make reservations at the Vistana Villages. I have read the recent good reports and plan on booking through hotelkingdom.com to get the 119/night rate for the 2 bedroom. My main concern was distance to the parks. We previously stayed at the Vistana Resort which was very close and convenient. By mapping both locations on the web, we found the distance to be only 6 miles farther in the Vistana Villages. Also, the fact that this is a fairly new resort makes it all the more appealing. Have fun - we will in December.
