Which Orlando resort.?

[irishween]

Trying to decide on which Orlando resort. We will go to Disney maybe 2 days. Plan to visit Sea World and some other local attractions. Bringing my daughter and 3 year old granddaughter. I like the idea of access to Marriott World center if we stay at one of the Marriott Palms. Not sure how their kids activities are. Grande Vista seems to have many kids activities. Also looking at Sheraton Vistana and Sheraton Villages. Any help would be appreciated.

I was at Sheraton Vistana Villages in December - I don't recall activities, but they did have a nice pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna. You can look up my review and video review here on TUG and TUG2.

@irishween If you are interested in kid activities, I recommend Marriott Harbour Lake. I've taken my niece (6) and nephew (12) to both Harbour Lake and Grande Vista and they liked the activities at Harbour Lake a lot more, to the point that nephew asked to see the activities schedule! Harbour Lake also has a full 18 hole mini golf course that we enjoyed on a few days.

Here's also a helpful video by @dioxide45 comparing Marriott Orlando resorts.

Harbour Lake, Cypress Harbour, and Grande Vista are all good choices that are REALLY close to Sea World (and Aquatica if you want to do their water park). All have a good assortment of kids activities. HL and CH have really easy access to I-4 West to get to Disney.

We stayed at Royal Palms last month. It has the best pool setup of the three Palms properties.
