Bonnet Creek or Sheraton Vistana

Need opinions… which resort would be better for a family vacation. We have 2 toddlers and need 2 2 bedroom units. Hoping each unit will be close to each other.

Stayed at both multiple times ~ I think you need to explore both and see which one you prefer staying at as they are two completely different style of resorts.

Bonnet Creek is more compact and closer to the parks. It is surrounded by Disney property. It has great views from many of the rooms. It has towers and requires you to park a bit away from your unit and possibly in a parking garage. It has a lazy river. It has a more modern feel. Bonnet Creek also has a luxury hotel with restaurants on-site.

Vistana is closer to Sea World and the outlet mall. You park near your unit. It is closer to more off-site restaurants and grocery stores. It feels like an apartment community. It has a pool with a waterfall. It has a 1970-1980s vibe.

For a Disney trip, I would pick Bonnet Creek 100% of the time if given the choice.

However, you can still have a good experience at Vistana. I have stayed there many times and enjoyed it.

I have stayed at both. There are pluses and minuses to both, but I agree Bonnet Creek probably wins out. The screened in balconies at Vistana are really nice though, as is the front of room parking.

We prefer Vistana resort(not Vistana Villages) and stay in the top floor of a 3 story unit, so there is a skylight. We like overlooking a pond, and the lucious landscaping. Vistana Resort is a very quick drive to Disney, and there are routes to avoid traffic.
