KiKi,
We have stayed at Vistana many times. It is really lovely, and the villas are really spacious. You get a lot of excellent pools, pizza service, a grocery store, Haagen Dazs, and it's only a few minutes form the park entrance. We really love to spread out at night, so it has worked for us many times!

But --

You do not get the cool on-site perks, like bus service, theming, Mickey-shaped everything, etc. Also, no EMHs or towel critters, etc. There is a special feeling you get from being in a WDW resort.

You have to decide whether the extra space is important, or the extra perks.
