Hello All

Can any one give me any opinions on which would be the better reservation?

We are going The week after Thanksgiving. We are a party of 3: 2 adults and a 5 year old.

Our 5 year old likes couch beds so we were thinking of getting a 1 bedroom unit at the new International Drive property instead of a 2 bedroom at Seaworld which will cost the same number fo points. We will be there 9 nights.

Any major differences between the resorts?

Would one be more child friendly then the other?

Does either pool have more or less amenities?

Is the childrens playground better at either one?

We are leaning towards 2 bedroom but the new property just looks so nice.


Any feedback would be appreciated

2 bedroom units at the Seaworld are a 1 bedroom plus the studio (as the 2nd bedroom) from when we stayed. The one bedroom does have the pull out couch. Yes the Tuscany does look nice, but i found the Seaworld to be more children friendly. at Seaworld, there are 2 great larger pools, very children friendly with daily activities for children. They also have a deli/grocery and pool side cafe. This location has free shuttle to Universal and Seaworld. Maybe split your stay in half. 4 nights at the seaworld and 5 nights at Tuscany.

If your daughter likes couches I would go with the 1 bedroom and save points. There is a TV in the bedroom and the balconies have doors from both bedroom and living room so if she goes to bed earlier there is no problem. We've stayed at Seaworld twice but toured tuscany and it is very pretty and new. The pool looks great too. Shopping is more convenient from that location also. Sooby

We stayed at a 1bdrm on International this past March and it was great. The pool is georgeous and my daughter loved the playground. The supermarket was across the street as well as some fast food, and it right next to a outlet mall. I think you'll have a great time there.

we decided on space - with seaworlds rooms being refurbished we decided that more room was better then less
