Valet parking at Contemporary is especially nice if you are using a stroller. You can leave your little one sleeping until your car pulls up - only the one transfer. Otherwise you must fold stroller to ride tram out to parking lot.haul child & stroller from tram to car.or walk from TTC to where you parked car to keep child in stroller

Thank you for the reply about Garden Grocer.
Will Bell Services hold your items till you are there and then they bring it to your room ?
I just wondered about refrigerated items.

Yes, they will hold your groceries and refrigerate anything that needs it. Garden Grocer will also call you once the delivery has been made.

Thank you.
We are looking forward to staying there.

You sound just like me. I started planning in March 2014 for a Disney trip for the first full week of June 2015. For my group, we were looking for two 4-bedroom units, or a 4 and a 3. I noticed several sellers on eBay selling 7-nights in 4-bedroom presidential "last minute," from 8 weeks out to as close as one week out, in late March-May 2014 for the first week of June 2014. So I hoped and assumed that would be the case for 2015.
We had one specific date that would work for our group, four different families coming together. The short of it is that just this past week the June 2015 dates came online. There was only one 4-bedroom presidential available, and the seller also had a 3-bedroom presidential, so we reserved those two units.
My point is that you may not have any luck making a reservation this far in advance. I contacted two eBay sellers at the 10-month window in August 2014, thinking they could at least make that type of reservation. Neither could do it for me. I also contact Vacation Strategies at the same time, but they wanted maybe $350 or $400/night, so I took a pass since the same unit was going for a low as $200/night on eBay at two months out.
We waited to make our reservations this late (10 weeks away) and got what we wanted. We paid $240/night for the four-bedroom. They can get as low at $200/night for a four-bedroom the closer one gets to the date, but obviously this is an important trip, so we just made the reservation as soon as it came up on eBay and didn't try to haggle the price (there was a "make an offer" icon, but we didn't want to risk loosing the 4-bedroom since it was the only one, and let's face it, $240 a night is a pretty sweet deal for prime season for a 4-bedroom presidential.)
So, if you can stomach to wait that late, I would suggest watching eBay this season for the approximate week you want in 2016, and then start looking in March 2016 for those June 2016 dates.

Thanks for the insight. It makes me feel better. One person I contacted did say he didn't have enough points for June 2016. I think that meant they were already promised to someone else, not that he made reservations already. he also said he does cancel/rebook work and that there is a good chance that in December he will be able to find something for us. He explained that 60 days out he cancels and rebooks, which is why his price quoted is so good. This matches up with what I am hearing about the 60 days out thing and the prices. It makes me a bit nervous to play that game, but I guess if worse came to worse, we would just find a hotel and make the best of it. Now that I have looked into it, I really want to stay at BC. It looks like such a nice place.

Does anyone know the location of the conference center at BC? I have a conference there for which I can stay in a regular hotel room, but am considering using a relative's timeshare points for a one bedroom Instead. Which would be more convenient to the conference center? Thank you.
I'm guessing you are talking about the Wyndham Grande Hotel, which has conference rooms and is part the the Wyndham Bonnet Creek resort complex. The conference rooms are at the bottom of the hotel, so if you want to be as close as possible, stay at the hotel.
If you want the space of the timeshare, they are all very close. If you are staying in Tower 6, the timeshare unit side and the hotel are connected with a hallway. You won't have to walk outside at all.
If you are staying in another tower, you would have a 5-10 minute walk to the hotel.
You can guarantee getting in Tower 6 by booking a 1 BR presidential level room. All 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom presidentials are located in Tower 6. They cost more points than a regular room, however.

BOOKING BONNET AT CHRISTMAS-
We just returned from an awesome week and Disney/Bonnet Creek. We looooved it SO much that I'm trying to organize a trip back for Christmas break. I thought that 9 months would be plenty of time to reserve a room.....HOWEVER....I emailed Vacation Strategies and Vacations Upgrades who both had no availability and said it's been full for sometime now.
So.... do any of you have experience with booking Christmas time at Bonnet Creek without booking 5 years in advance
For our last trip we booked through Redweek and so I may go that route again. However I need 2 units this time around so it might be a little more tricky to go that route.
Thanks!

There are rooms out there, as I posted about, travel sites like orbitz have rooms for your dates, its a matter of finding a good promo code. The ones out now are only good for travel up to September though.

The only units I see that are available during Christmas time are 1 bedrooms, and I'm not even sure they match your dates. The Wyndham booking system sometimes requires that you're flexible with your check in dates in order to find a reservation. For example, I see 1 BRs with check in on 12/19 and 12/21 but nothing for 12/20.
There are undoubtedly mega-renters that have already snatched up these reservations and may be putting them on eBay or elsewhere.
Many of those units were reserved by speculators looking to rent them. I see them on Ebay every year. Sometimes people put them up for a ton of money, but if you are patient I see many of them sell for a reasonable price.BOOKING BONNET AT CHRISTMAS-

We had trouble finding a 2 bedroom at Christmas this past year-- until 2 weeks before. Then, everyone we had contacted had something available - and the prices were better than what we're paying for Easter (but not what we've paid in June and October).

I just bit the bullet and booked a 2 bedroom for 4th of July Weekend for $176 ($609 total OOP for 3 nights) a night on CheaptIckets.com (owned by orbitz) using the promo code EGGHUNT (20% off). I had contacted Vacation Upgrades and Farrell and neither had availability. I know thet his rate isnt the best, but there is no Certificate fee when booking with orbitz. Best deal I cound find on Ebay was $685
I know a PP asked about Christmas, and they has 2 BR available that week too. PP will have to wait to book until they can get a promo code as the ones up now are only good for stays through September

I think lots of people think they're going to strike it rich with a holiday rental, but when no one bites they settle for a normal price, or just cancel and the super-renters swoop in and sell them last-second.
If you can cancel without penalty, you may find something for less closer to the time you are traveling.
