The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

[Rigbyfab4]

Just read that Tower 6 is the only tower that has 1 bedroom presidential units and also that Tower 6 is the only tower that has not been renovated. We are heading down in a month and have a one bedroom presidential booked. Can anyone let me know if Tower 6 is in great need of refurbishment? If it is I may change to a non presidential room and hope to get in a refurbished are.

I hear tower six refurb is basically paint and soft furnishings, all reports I've seen are that it's still in overall good condition.

Thank you for all the responses. Puts my mind at ease.

Thanks for the info!

We stayed in Tower six about three years ago, when tower six was about one-year old. We had a non-presidential 3 Bedroom. We really liked tower six and the pirate pool.

We are staying at WBC, again, in about three weeks and I was wondering what tower to try for. I was thinking of asking for tower four or five - to try to get something recently renovated and be near the pools on that side of the resort.

Maybe, I should ask for tower six, if the units are still in good shape?

We will be staying there mid-June and will have a rental car. I finally convinced my dad that we should NOT use the shuttles to get to Disney. But looking at the map I see that BC is very close to Epcot. Would it be stupid to park at Epcot and travel to MK that way if we don't plan to visit Epcot that day?

This would likely take double the time of just going to the MK lot.

You are close to the back of Epcot, not the front where the parking lot is. Driving time to both lots is pretty similar. You would then have to ride the monorail to the TTC and change to the MK monorail, taking more time.

Thanks! I kinda figured it might take longer but thought I would ask just in case!
I had read that if the MK lot is full then they will redirect you to EPCOT so was just curious if bypassing all the traffic to MK was worth it.
The day we go to MK I hope to be there pretty early so I don't think we'll have to worry about the lot being full.

We'll be at WBC April 17-25th, and I'm obsessively making my daily schedules. We've always stayed on property, so this will be the first time we've needed to use a car much to get around. From experienced people, what are the approximate door-to-parking lot drive times from WBC to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and HS? (We're not doing AK this time around.) I can use Google maps to calculate, but I'm figuring there may be variables that vets know but Google doesn't account for. I guess the real question is how long before rope drop (or an early breakfast reservation) do we need to be driving out of WBC to be sure of an on-time arrival? Thanks!

I would allow 30 min to MK because after you park you still have tram to TTC, boat to MK, security check and tickets at gate before you are actually inside the park. It all takes time to do.
HS is almost close enough to walk to but give yourself 15 min depending of whether you catch green or red lights.
Epcot is just a little farther. I would say 20 min to be safe. By the way - at Epcot go to the entrance security check on the left as you walk up .
The monorail and resort buses all feed into the ride side security check.

Is there any kind of lobby at the bottom of BLDG 6?

Not sure what you are asking, but there is a check in desk and bell services at Tower 6. There is also a rec room with couches and an activities desk close to the entrance. There is not a grand formal lobby like at the WDW deluxe resorts

 

[SqueakyMouse]

We were there last week. Tower 6 doesn't look like it needs to be updated at all. Not sure what they are going to refurbish.

When we were at WBC in October, we noticed that the building being refurbished was getting a major overhaul. Every unit was getting new mattresses. At least some rooms were getting new furniture, carpet, etc. We've only stayed in refurbed rooms, so I'm sure there are others more knowledgeable on here who could tell you more of the changes. The biggest change we noticed was the installation of granite counter tops in the kitchen and bath.

Few questions:
1) Does anybody know if pool toys, floats are allowed in the pools at WBC?
2) Does anybody who has stayed recently have a activities schedule to give an idea of what may be available at the end of April?

Thank-you!!!!

Last week I saw some floats, giant beach balls and little pool balls.

Just returned yesterday. MK took us 60 mins from the time we got in our car- through Disney bag check and ticketing. If you want to make rope drop be sure to leave at least 60 mins early. Takes forever!
Epcot maybe 30
HS 25
These are all door through ticketing times. HS was the quickest.

They actually sell all kinds of floats by the pool so I'm sure most would be fine especially in the lazy river. I didn't see any lounger type floats though.

we just returned from tower 4 and loved it. The rooms were very nice and the location was great with the lazy river right there. The pirate pool is just next door.

I'm staying at WBC for the first time this May ! ! !
We're a family group of 5 (3 adults, 2 children).

Are towers 4,5 & 6 where the desired rooms are ?
I see you need to wait til you check in to ask nicely for a specific area.
Is there a desirable side of the buildings for a good view ?
What floor levels are best for views ?
I'm sure they're what everyone wants, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Any area that's slightly undesirable ?

I'm sure I'll have more questions....... but in the meantime I'm reading thru all the WBC information.

Thanks for all the great information !

 

[Lupeix]

Does anybody know if you can order pay per view events at WBC? We're down there during the Mayweather / Pacquiao fight, and my husband doesn't want to miss it. If not, any idea where he can watch it that's close by? TIA

We will be there at the same time and my husband is on the same boat. Ken Price from vacation upgrades told me there is no PPV. They will be showing the fights in a lot of bars around the area, it will get packed and they will likely charge a cover to get in. My husband is not very keen on that, so I am waiting to see if the ESPN boardwalk location will show it

You can cut down the time to get inside MK by 20 min or so if you valet park at the contemporary. It is $20 instead of $17, and you just drop your car and walk to MK, it is a 5-10 min walk. So you don't waste time looking for parking and waiting for the ferry/monorail. You can valet park in any Disney resort for the rest of the day, so it is easy to take a break in the middle of the day and come back (we are going to Jiko the night we do MK, so we will be using the valet at AKL). It is particularly awesome if you stay for the fireworks/parades, since the monorail and ferry tend to be jam packed with so many people leaving the park at the same time. You just walk and have someone pick up your car.
