Where exactly is PS relative to Disney and the other HGVC resorts in orlando? NSE or W? I guess I should look it up but I have yet to do so.
Depends on where in WDW you want to go. Disney property in Orlando is HUGE. The new Parc Soleil is right down the street (like 5 minute drive) from Hotel Plaza Blvd, the entrance to Disney property near Downton Disney. If you know the area around WDW, it is right on the other side of Rt 535/Vineland, where all the restaurants and shopping malls are when you exit Disney property near DTD. I think the big shopping area there is called Crossroads. The I-4 crosses Rt 535 right there. Parc Soleil is off of Palm Pkwy/Turkey Lake Rd which is directly to the East of Disney property.
If you want to go to MK, Epcot, AK, or DHS, you have to hop on the I-4 for an exit or two and the overall drive will be more like 20 minutes or more depending on the destination. Distance wise, it is technically in between the other two properties (closer than Seaworld, but farther than Tuscany)... but I think it is faster Disney access than Tuscany, although not as "freeway convenient" as Seaworld, because Seaworld is so close to the I-4. If you know the Tuscany property well... it is basically right on the other side of the I-4 from the Premium Outlets and Tuscany (and slightly farther up the fwy).
And as to your original question: I stayed at the Parc Soleil in June just a couple weeks after it opened and it was marvelous. The newness of it all alone was wonderful. The units are modern and comfortable. The main advantages over the other two properties is the "hotel" like feel of the resort. The buildings are high-rise, the hallways are carpeted and indoors (and air-conditioned!), the elevators are swift and quiet... definitely not the same "feel" as the typical Orlando TS resort! Those slow, grinding, "cheap apartment" elevators are tiresome at Seaworld. Especially in building 1 or 2 where there is only one!
I have to say that Parc Soleil is in the running for top TS property in all of Orlando if these things appeal to you. Also, the parking is indoors and covered, another big advantage IMHO.
One other note about this property: I would never reserve the higher category rooms (Plus, Premier, Penthouse) because they are all the same size, and only reflect the location in the building (like higher floors). I don't think it is worth it. I had a "standard" two-bedroom and it was on the 14th floor facing the pool with a great view and perfect. Even if it was a lower floor I wouldn't mind. Just MHO.
Also, here is an early thread which has some first impressions of when it first opened (including mine):
