The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

Is it really though? I mean everyone has cell phones now. I know lots of people that don’t have a home phone. I don’t think it’s really a safety issue like it might have once been.
I wouldn't agree that everyone had a cell phone now. While small, there is certainly still a segment of the population that doesn't have them. That segment of the population, an older demographic, may be more reliant on landlines in the event of an emergency. Also consider that some international guests may not want to pay international roaming charges while in the US. The phones also are not just used to contact the front desk to request additional supplies.

And just to confirm, there are still phones and they do still work. The main thing that is missing now is the phone in the living room area; it is only the phones integrated into the clock radios.
Interesting units actually. We were there a few days after the time change and ours was 2 hours out. I'm a tech guy (computer engineer) and it took me an awfully long time to finally figure out how to adjust the time, although I did somehow switch it to 24 clock which I couldn't figure out how to undo. Some instructions for these things would probably be appreciated.

There is no longer a phone on the bar counter in the kitchen?
 
Hello SVR fans!
It's been awhile but I am headed back to SVR. This will be the first time that we are flying with no plans to rent a car.
Does anyone have any tips for travel from MCO to SVR? Shuttles, services, Ubers etc? This trip will include six adults.

Correct, or in our case (Courts Townhome) in the living room, there is no longer one on the side table. Presumably they are also gone from the kitchen area in the other units (I recall them there in both Springs and Spas).

Not from personal experience, we always rented when we weren't driving down, but with 6 people and luggage I would start by checking out Mears to get a large enough vehicle. However, if the cost is too high you could consider 2 or even 3 Ubers. Rideshare is pretty competitive in Orlando by all accounts.

The transportation board has lots of great information on this kind of stuff!
