Yes, I checked between villages and resort, but it did clearly show as resort. I marked as 4 star or higher properties, and then looked for whether it has a resort fee, just cause I like to know that.

Wow, what a great rate!!! Congrats!

I used DL to make some requests for a timeshare week we recieved as a gift thru RCI. I recieved the reply on Wednesday which is 4 days out from our trip. RCI exchanges are in the Courts section i was told. Made a few other request which I hope are honored.

Thanks for everyones help answering the SVR questions. I'll try to post some pics and a trip report when we get back.

Joe......have you returned from your trip yet? How was your stay at SVR?

Do you have any photos you want to share?

Hi all,

New to this board, and also new to Sheraton Vistana. My wife and I will be taking our 1-yr-old on our first family vacation this August. We will be staying at the Sheraton Vistana Resort (2 bed room)for 5 nights, booked through Jetblue. (Great deal, FYI.) We are planning to spend most of our time poolside and in the condo, with some trips to Downtown Disney, splash pads and such. We will do 1 day at Magic Kingdom- and I think that will be good for a 1 yr old. That said, I had a few questions that I haven't found answers to:

1. Since we booked through Jetblue and not a condo timeshare, do you know what section we will be in? In other words, are "hotel" type guests placed in the same section or are all sections possible?

2. When we booked on Jetblue, there was a place for requests and we wrote, quiet room, high floor in section with elevator, high chair and crib. Do you think they will grant these requests? Should I also send an email or anything to make this request? Should I request a particular section and if so, how does one do that?

3. Can anyone speak from experience as to the quality or appearance of the resort high chairs or cribs?

4. Any other tips for a toddler at the resort?

5. Any other tips for things a toddler can do in the area for free or low cost?

Thanks so much everyone for your help.
