Orlando Timeshares?
Anyone here use Timeshares? We're members with Sunterra, and we've got a steal of a week just from taking some silly tour to use anywhere. Folk are considering using this for our hopefully-soon WDW trip. Othewise it will go to waste.
Does anyone know of a pretty decent Orlando timeshare? I'm crossing my fingers that one of them will have transportation to Disney! (Those shuttles from the Hilton/Grosvenor hotels really spoiled us!) Any info would be vastly helpful. Thanks!

...or am I wrong?  The key word in this trip is "save" so we can't afford anything out of the ordinary for us, hehe.

Re: Orlando Timeshares?
I own at SHERATON VISTANA RESORT and SHERATON VISTANA VILLAGES and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! They are both EXTREMELY close to the gates of WDW, Vistana Resort being REALLY close! We have walked from DTD before...in our younger, drinking days without kids, when we thought it was a quick walk. YEAH RIGHT!
But the resorts are really beautiful.

I don't think we'll be making the walk, what with my parents nearing their sixties, both with back pain and one with osteo.   Thanks for the advice!!!

Re: Orlando Timeshares?
Last year, I stayed at the Sheraton Vistanas and at Orange Lake. I absolutely loved the accommodations (3 bedroom unit) at Orange Lake. Vistanas were nice too but there are old/new condos to deal with. Both have pools that are done up nicely.
Both of these are part of RCI. |

Vistana Villages is basically a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW resort. They just got done with their latest expansion and it is beautiful. There isn't an "OLD" villa at the place! From Villages, you cannot walk anywhere! You will need to rent a car or take their shuttles.

Kim, I didn't know that! I was considering staying here in September because my mom is coming with us.....and freinds of ours bought here a few months ago.....did you know that as of June they are combining with WDW and you can trade points with DVC resorts? Do you think it is worth giving up free dining to stay off site at Vistana?
