Both are nice, high end resorts. Location, units, ability to walk to services and more of a resort "feel" all favor Cypress Pointe.

I own at Vacation Village @ Parkway (VVP). There is plenty of room at VVP but very limited amenities. If you are going to spend any time at the resort, I would recommend Cyress.

I've only stayed at VV at Parkway. As far as spaciousness of the units, I don't think it can be beat. I had a 2 bedroom, which is really 2 one bed units, so I had 2 living rooms, a full kitchen and a mini-kitchen, 2 balconies,
a huge big screen tv, 2 washers. It is one mile from World Drive

I haven't been to Cyprus Pointe, tho it is highly spoken of here.

There used to be a list of top timeshare condos on the dis...would be great to see that revived!

I've stayed at Cypress Pointe, and it was very nice. Beautiful, nicely decorated suites, a pool and snack bar, etc. Excellant location, too, very close to downtown Disney. The pool was too cool for my tastes, but this was at Christmas; it is probably warmer the rest of the year.

VVP is supposed to have nice rooms (although the B sides are small, more like a studio that a one bedroom -- those are the ones that say "limited kitchen.") However, the resort has many units crammed together, and few amenities.

Actually, the one-bedrooms at Cypress Pointe are also not really one-bedrooms -- more of a hotel room, really, so try to get at least a two bedroom if you stay there. Cypress Pointe Grandvillas, on the other hand, have real one-bedrooms, I hear. (Cypress Pointe and Cypress Pointe Grandvillas are right next to each other and share amenities; they are different phases of the same resort.)

We stayed at Cypress Pointe about 6 yrs. ago. It was soo nice. The whole place has recently been remodeled. I was just at their website looking it up for a friend and they show lots of photos of the new units (during construction and after completion) It's www.cypresspointe.net. I'd love to stay again but we own a week at Summer Bay.

I forgot to mention, Cypress Pointe is really close to WDW!
