Which resort Holiday Inn Orange Lake or Sheraton Vistana?

[luv disney]

Our family of myself, hubby, 2 daughters (23 & 20) their 2 friends the same age and my Brother in law. We have always stayed onsite but the kids wanted to try WBC last time and we loved it! We paid out of pocket for it, this year we have tons of RCI Points to use so we have narrowed it down to the two resorts mentioned above and both look fantastic. Which one would you pick and why? I need help deciding please ‍... I know, there are worse decisions in life to have to make but the kids are so busy in their lives with work and college, this might be the last one as a family for a few years.

I would recommend SVR by a lot. (Note that there is also a Sheraton Vistana Villages north of WDW, so don't get confused.) The link above provides loads of details about why SVR is a great option.

Thank you chalee94 We have points for both, Sheraton Vistana & Sheraton Vistana Villages. Which one of those two would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Orange Lake has a lot more options. Water park with lazy river, several golf courses and much larger rooms.

I prefer the location of SVR, since it is around the corner and a short drive over I4 from the WDW gate. SVV is closer to Universal and Seaworld.

I've been watching videos on youtube of Orange Lake tonight. Really considering a stay there. Wondering if there is a way to rent directly from owners instead of booking from their website.

First time I have ever posted. Looking at July 2019. How do you book without going through the timeshare presentation?

I've stayed at both. Don't think you could go wrong with either. Sheraton is probably a little closer to parks but Orange Lake has bigger rooms and a lazy river!
