    Where to stay with 9YO son - Marriott Cypress Harbor, Harbor Lake, Sabal or Sheraton Vistana

    Thank you! We stayed at Royal Palms about 8 years ago and I thought it was nice. Wondered if maybe Sabal was closer to the main hotel because we did have to ride a shuttle. From what you describe, the units might be bigger so maybe that's the price difference. I think we even had an obstructed...

    Where to stay with 9YO son - Marriott Cypress Harbor, Harbor Lake, Sabal or Sheraton Vistana

    Piggy-backing off this to ask a couple questions about the Palms. Hope that's ok. Why is Sabal more expensive than Royal? And when they black out the sale of tickets for the new water slides, do they make that decision per day (ie peak times of year don't offer it regardless of daily crowds)...

    Wyndham Bonnett Creek or Disney Resort Family of 5

    I have stayed at WBC twice. It's not perfect and I have my hang ups with certain aspects of it but all in all it's a great condo unit. We have a larger family size (7), so it's more of a necessity. I have toured many Disney resorts and would only choose to stay onsite if I were going Deluxe. If...

    Any NY/NJ dis’ers that can help a girl out with airport advice? Budget in mind!

    I’ve asked myself that same question. It is a 20 hour drive without stops so I think it is worth eliminating 15 hours (that’s 30 hours round trip, not including stopping for food or hotel stays). We’ve done it several times and Jersey basically feels like we are still in Boston. 🤣

    Any NY/NJ dis’ers that can help a girl out with airport advice? Budget in mind!

    We just passed this area last weekend on our way to a tournament! It could have potential. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Any NY/NJ dis’ers that can help a girl out with airport advice? Budget in mind!

    Our vacation is 15-19! Looking for reasonable direct-only flights. Once you add in crappy connections and potential delays, we may as well drive 😂 I’m so glad I asked because the stay and park at hotel option never entered my mind. I have to look into that!

    Any NY/NJ dis’ers that can help a girl out with airport advice? Budget in mind!

    Wow! Never would have thought about the hotel allowing us to park. Great advice! Thanks. Our friends did fly out of MD last year, staying with local family. I didn’t think about that but with an affordable hotel stay and early flight it might be added to the list!

    Any NY/NJ dis’ers that can help a girl out with airport advice? Budget in mind!

    Hello! I was unsure where to post this query. But, since this is a budget-minded decision on my part, I figured this was the right place. I just need to find some people from New York or New Jersey to guide me! :-) We are a large family of 7 from the New England area. We typically travel to...

    Orange Lake village info

    I thought about doing this. But, the check-in for our week is Saturday and we potentially won't be down there until late Monday night. We would have to check out of the resort the following Sat and find a hotel for that night and we are trying to do a park day that day before we leave Sunday...

    Orange Lake village info

    Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. We can’t stay for 7 nights because of some restrictions with potential playoff games happening that weekend before. Our arrival in Orlando, depending on game outcomes, could be anywhere from Sunday night to Monday night. We will do a last minute hotel when...

    Orange Lake village info

    Hello! Looking to gather info on Orange Lake Resort. Booking last minute accommodations for our trip to Disney next month and extended family is staying at this resort so I am trying to coordinate with them. Prices are inching higher as we are so close to travel dates and we are not renting...

    2 bedroom suite recommendations please

    If noise is your main concern I would go with Sheraton Vistana Resort LBV. We did hear the people above us moving around a bit, but overall it was fairly quiet. Second time we requested top floor and never heard a thing. They have a sister resort on I-drive so maybe that would be better for...

    World Center Marriott/Timeshare Pool access

    Last question- promise! Do they have a lazy river at the new water park? And if so, do they charge for pool floats per person? We ended up booking a 7 night timeshare at WBC for our stay. We are in Orlando for an 8th night, so considering staying at the World Center for the last night. We...

    The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

    Just found a reservation on Redweek for a 3 bedroom that will work for our date spread in August. There is a note about ongoing construction in Tower 6. Does this impact the pool area at all? It does say it will only be between 8-5pm, so I think we can manage that if it's just room renovations...

    World Center Marriott/Timeshare Pool access

    Very helpful info- thanks! I think we might steer clear. We loved it here before but I don't think the standard pool at Royal would be enough to entertain our kids all day on days we aren't visiting a park, which is several of our vacation days. Knowing we might not even be able to pay to get...

    World Center Marriott/Timeshare Pool access

    Thanks, I understand the World Center Marriott guests have access. We are a family of 7 so staying there is out of the question. My follow up question was if there is a difference in amenity use at the main hotel for Marriott timeshare property owners vs. someone just booking a stay at one of...

    World Center Marriott/Timeshare Pool access

    Thanks for these replies! Very helpful. If I book this resort through the Marriott Bonvoy website, am I still considered a "vacation club" member for the purposes of the stay? We do not own a timeshare. I would just be booking through Marriott.

    World Center Marriott/Timeshare Pool access

    We stayed at Marriott Royal Palms in 2016 and are considering a stay here (or at the Sabal) again this August. On that 2016 trip, we took a shuttle to the pool area at the World Center. It was a great and my kids enjoyed it. I know they have since opened the River Falls Water Park. I called the...
