Recent Sheraton Safari Lake Buena Review: "I was impressed with this hotel. They really no how to stick to a theme. The safari theme, I felt like I was in the jungle in a good way. Our room was clean and the beds were nice. Love the balcony by the pool. Priceless. I brought my 3 boys and they absolutely loved the anaconda slide and the arcade! Too much. Now for the downfall, The buffet is really  expensive. They charge you for wireless internet in your room, their discount tickets are not really discounted and they charge for having a refrigerator in your room and microwave. Having said that I got both because it saved me money on eating out. Oh they also charge $6 for parking and they didn't tell me that on check in. Overall a lot of these fees can be avoided if you can live with out the internet, frig and microwave. The TV's were a little fuzzy. Tip: you can get really discounted tickets and one of the discount booth right off the express way. ASK for Glinda. Do the time share, but make them stick to the 90 minutes. No credit card need if you get them from glinda. P.s don't buy a time share. If you really want one than go online and buy one for 1 dollar. seriously (eBay) Have FUN"
