Hotwire Hotel: 4* Orlando (Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney) Sheraton Vistana

[harriedmom]

going to Orlando: 12/10-12/14. want 4 star accomodations w/ washer/dryer in room.

saw this in hotwire: Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney condo, $79/night + tax

Amenities: condo, resort, 1-bedroom suite, fully-equipped kitchen, free parking, a/c,

in-room laundry, children's activity program

can you id the condo and if it really is 4-stars? not sure if the resort rating overrides 4-star rating even if the resort is not really worth a 4-star.

also is it possible to extend on hotwire and specify a split receipt?

my spouse is going ahead on 12/7-12/10 for work and we need to separate work expense from

vacation expense for work reimbursement purposes.

The property above is a match for the Sheraton Vistana Resort so that would be my best guess.

You can't "extend your stay" with HOTWIRE, but at the moment if you do a second HOTWIRE search for 12/7-12/10 what appears to be the same hotel appears for those nites as well... so you should be able to make two separate purchases and are reasonably assured of the same hotel (just make sure all the information matches exactly)

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

about 80% sure of bidding for this but have to square away 12/7-12/10 reservations for spouse's work travel first.

13.7 mi from MCO, TA 4/5

as expected I got Sheraton Vistana Resort - Condo

8800 Vistana Centre Drive,

Orlando, FL, 32821

one thing though, Expedia says it is 20.5 km / 12.7 mi. to MCO not 13.7.

keeping my fingers crossed that I get the upgraded unit. wish me luck!
