The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

[Travellerman]

Will be making our second trip to WBC soon. It has been 2 years since we stayed there last, will I notice many changes? Or is it the same as I remember?

It's a time share resort, so it's not like a hotel where after a certain time they'll turn around and resell your reservation. You should have no problem if you arrive and check in after midnight.

thank you! that makes me feel soooo much better! Especially not knowing how traffic or the kiddos will be!

Biggest difference you should notice: All the construction is done. The Hotel, which was the final building to be completed, opened last October.

The hotel is a nice addition to the resort complex since it adds a few new onsite restaurants.

Um.... The bus stop at the main lobby building has moved, and is now located at a dedicated shelter/stop by Tower 1. this is in addition to the stop by Tower 6.

I don't remember if Tower 6 was completed 2 years ago or not.... but it's now open as well, complete with the pirate pool (and slide)

I'm pretty sure that unless you have a Presidential Unit, you are most likely going to be out of luck with that request. I think all the floors above 9 are exclusively presidential units in Tower 6.

I just checked the owners site and it looks like there is 1 2bdrm deluxr unit let for those dates as of right now.

gone.

Just back from our first stay at WBC. Bought 6 nights off Ebay and had no problems with anything. There was the sales pitch to get the parking pass, we refused the "breakfast" and was told that we would get a call later about it. Never did get any calls. No phone book in the room, so if you want to order food in, make sure you have the numbers. Did not have a building request and received building 2 ground floor-which was wonderful. I would not have a problem staying in any building-the walk around the pond was nice and I did not find it to be a long walk to anything. Next time we will make sure to have more days off from the parks so we can check out the resort better.

The kids loved having their own room and bathroom.

Thanks everyone for all the great info in this thread.

Anyone here gotten a quote for labor day weekend before? Need to get my disney fix. I paid $120 per night last week of March of this year. Hoping to get a better deal.

I have a 3 and 4 year old who can swim with their floaties on. Are they allowed in the bc pools? Just trying to decide if I should pack them.

on the same subject: What are the restrictions on each of the water slides (height, etc.)?

 

[mommagoof]

Thinking of staying here next year, so try to get an idea of cost. How much is a 3 bedroom Presidential or 4 bedroom in June or July?

My son swam with floaties in the pirate pool last year without any problems. The Pirate Pool is the only one my family was interested in (saltwater), so I can't speak for the other pools.

We paid $1300 for a 3br pres in 2011 and $1600 for a 4 br pres in 2012. Both were mid June. Both were 7 nights.

Do you mean a tour package including airline tickets, rooms and park tickets?

I wouldn't think so. Most transactions involving WBC are done between individuals, not with Wyndham itself.

We're just starting to plan a trip for mid-August, 2012. I'd like to have a reference point before getting quotes. What is a reasonable per night rate for a 2 bedroom for this time of year? We are hoping to book 12 nights. Thanks!

The beginning of Aug is prime season. After the 19th or so of Aug everything gets much cheaper. Expect to pay more the first 2 to 3 weeks of August than other times of the year (excluding holidays etc.) 120 for a two bedroom would be a great price. $120-$140 would be really good.

We leave tomorrow and I'm so excited! I can tell my mood has been lighter this week.

Quick question about Tower 6. I know that my SIL will be in Tower 6 because Denise said it's the only one that has 2b Prez, and we want to be near them. So, IF we end up getting Tower 6, DH and I like to sit outside on the balcony in the afternoon, but I am scared that we'll be in the direct sunlight if we have lakeside. Am I right? I think I'd rather have east facing than lakeside if this is the case.

Also, if SIL is going to be in Tower 6, she can go directly there right? She doesn't need to check in at the lobby?

Thanks!!!

Tower 6 Lakeside is in the sun in the afternoons. View towards DTD is shaded in afternoons.

Tower 6 people can check in directly at Tower 6.

Have a great trip!

Question, we have reserved a 2 bedroom for October. How many adults can it sleep comfortably? We have 2 more now joining us, for a total of 7 adults and one child.

Also, is the couch bed very comfortable and is it a queen or full. I've read that the 2nd bedroom has full beds also?
