My daughter is doing an internship with Disney in Orlando next fall. So of course the rest of the family will go down with her to help her settle in!

There will be 3 of us and my older daughter for a couple days until she moves into her Disney appartment.

I heard great things about both of these resorts, but can only get a 1BR at Bonnet Creek at the moment.

Just wondering what you guys would do in a similar situation:
Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort - 1BR or Sheraton Vistana Resort - 2BR?

Could also get OKW or SSR Disney properties but can't seem to justify an additional 33 TPU's above the ones I'm looking at!
We've stayed at SSR right after Harry Potter opened and it was great, but that was before the TPU system was started and we got it with a simple week exchange - those were the days!

Thanks!

I would recommend trying to rent a 2br BC from a wyndham owner, it could be cheaper for you than exchanging.

In the end I would rather have more space than knit pick the diff. B/w these 2 resorts. Go with the bigger room. BC is on disney property though and does have free shuttle to the gates of disney which is nice. Not sure if youll have a car.

I actually like Sheraton Vistana a little better, but if I can get a fireworks view at Bonnet Creek, that's a real plus.

I would also go with the bigger unit.

Suggestion, I would check II for Getaway Specials for both resorts.

I'd go with the Sheraton 2 bedroom. That resort has been totally refurbished and is lovely. It has very beautiful grounds (lush landscaping).
