The coffee makers take the cone-style filters. The package that I have from my last stay there says #4 on it. The coffee makers are full size.

Your price will also *depend* on what time of year you choose to go.

There are 3 or 4 seasons for a WBC timeshare rental.

Value season will usually cost less than ... High season or Peak season.

do you know where I can find dates of each season?

Spanky · Mar 29, 2015

Weeks 1-6 high season
Weeks 7-14 prime season
Weeks 15-19 value season
Weeks 20-22. High
Weeks 23-33 prime
Weeks 34-35 high
Weeks 36-39 value
Weeks 40-42 high
Weeks 43-50 value
Weeks 51-52 prime

Leaving for Bonnet Creek next month. Few questions that I am hoping don't require reading all posts.

1. Do they offer tubes for free at the lazy river?
2. What size/type filter do the coffee makers use?
3. Does the shuttle run to DTD? We want to see Avengers at the movie theater so time would be a factor but heard traffic is ridiculous so was thinking shuttle
4. Best Pizza place to order from

Thanks guys!

1, Free tubes for lazy river.
2. Cone filters.
3. There is a shuttle, but it is a shadow of the service they once had. The shuttle goes once or twice in the evening, costs $7 per person (infants and kids pay too), and you have to make reservations in advance. There is a lot construction going on near and in DTD, but even with that it only took us about 10 minutes to get there. We park at the Westside and take the boat over to the Marketplace. I think they now have a one of the new parking garages open, but we didn't try it.
4. They have a pizza place in the resort that's adequate IMO. Flipper's and Giordano's are a couple of local pizza places I have tried and like that offer deliver. You will get flyers under the door for some other Orlando places, but I would urge you NOT to order from them, as they usually are poor quality and some have even used the flyers to steal credit card info.

I would suggest that shopping around is still the key to getting a great deal. While knowledge of the seasons and other aspects of the Wyndham system doesn't hurt, it is really unimportant to the renter. The bottom line is the price you pay for the dates you want. The potential for getting a good deal can come at any time of the year.

My family and I stayed at WBC the first week of March and it was amazing. I did call a few weeks before our stay to check about having an EVC delivered. While I was on the phone with them I also asked about getting a fireworks view room. When we arrived and I checked in I again asked for a fireworks view room and was informed that I had one. So just a heads up, they may tell you that they don't take request, but we were able to get ours. We stayed in tower 4 floor 13. We could see both illumNations and Wishes. I wish I would have taken pictures with my camera because the ones on my phone lack the beauty.

Just checking...... We'll be staying for the first time this May.

Do you have a favorite grocery store to pre-order groceries from ?

I am considering renting at Bonnett Creek through a broker. The Reservation won't be made in my name until 7 days prior to arrival. This is way past the cancellation deadline. And way past the time my payment is due. Does anyone have any experience with this?

This is our third time renting from a broker and the practice of adding your name to the reservation at the 7 day mark has always been the case for us in the past.

Thanks Fundrytrail for your prompt response. It makes me a little nervous to make a reservation, pay for it, but it is not in my name. I get that I am basically renting from an owner, but why can't the reservation be placed in my name initially? Will I be assigned "left over" less desirable units? What has been your experience with receiving a decent room?

There aren't any chairs at BC that I could even pretend are rockers, are there? My 11 month old has a lot of trouble settling down sometimes and rocking is one of the only things that relaxes her. I'm thinking of renting a rocking chair but wanted to make sure first.

The power renters who rent reservations are often are managing the points of many, many owners. They use various techniques to maximize those points and their profits. This allows them to pass on some of the savings to you.

The important thing is that you are comfortable with the company you are doing business with. There are many, many places to rent reservations.

As for what unit you will get, at Bonnet Creek it is luck of the draw. I don't think there is any advantage at all in when you reserve a room now that they have eliminated most room requests, especially the "fireworks view" ones.

There are stools, regular chairs, sofa chairs, but no rocking chairs. There are some swing chairs several places down by the lake you could sit in.

Spanky · Mar 30, 2015

There are several 2 person swings outside around the lake but nothing in the rooms

Thank you both!

Diaz,
I know the felling as the first time we rented at BC all I had was the email from my broker and no confirmation.

Each time we have rented from Vacation Strategy and now I don’t give it a second thought, just show at check-in with picture ID and we are good to go. :thumbsup2

Thank you all for your prompt reply

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.

This sounds fantastic! I would gladly pay an extra $3 in order to stress a lot less getting in and out, especially towing three kids and trying to make either rope drop or an 8:05 Crystal Palace breakfast reservation. Thanks for the tip!

We have used Garden Grocer with success. They delivered my order to the resort and bell services brought it up to our room.
