The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

We booked a one bedroom presidential for myself, wife and 7 year old son thinking it should be sufficient. For the last month have tried unsuccessfully to change to a two bedroom presidential so we didn't have to put my son on a pullout. I have had no luck. What are the chances I could upgrade to a two bedroom presidential at check in????

How did you book? Are you a timeshare owner? Did you rent? Did you reserve direct from Wyndham? I would say the odds of upgrading at the front desk are slim, as this is a time-share resort.

For 3 people the 1BR unit will be plenty big. What are your concerns?

Checked in last on Sunday(12th) for 14 nights, ask nicely at the front desk for a lake view and ended up in Tower 3 on the 7th floor with a lake and fireworks view

I had a lake view/fireworks view one year from Tower 2. It was amazing!!! Enjoy.

Hi, I will be there in 5 days
How much laundry soap and coffee filters do they give you?
Can you request extra toilet paper/ paper towels or should I add it to our garden grocer order?
thanks!

My only real concern is the pullout couch and it not being a good bed to sleep for 9 nights. If they are sufficient then the 1 bedroom is fine.

We booked through VS

If it were me ... I would be perfectly *Happy* with a Deluxe 2 Bedroom (if it is available)

The aura of a *Presidential* is not that much ... when compared to comfort.

We booked a Wyndham in Williamsburg too late to get a 2 BR and the boys had to use the pullout couch / floor in the 1 BR. They're boys - it was fine. The first night, they tried the pullout and decided they could not sleep in the same space (younger boy is a bed hog). After that, the older one slept on the couch like it was a couch, and the younger one used a camp pad and sleeping bag and slept on the floor. They thought it was an adventure. The 2 BR would have been better for our sanity, b/c the boys were almost teens, but I remember sleeping that way at friends' and relatives' houses and it was always kind of fun.

The presidentials have larger living areas, so you should be able to easily move around the pullout should you decide to pull it out. If you are concerned about it being comfortable, you could always invest in an inflatable pool mattress or inexpensive camp pad to make it more comfy.

Checked in Friday and this place is amazing! Loving the space and the grounds. Not sure I will ever be able to go back to a hotel room. So nice for everyone to have their own rooms to chill in after a long park day!

We ended up in an end room - part parking lot part pool view. At first I was disappointed, but it's been fine and the best thing is that it's at the end of the hall and there is a stairwell beside us - so super quiet.

Drive to Universal has been fine as well, so I'm glad we chose this over a hotel closer to Universal.

As for Parking Pass - I was worrying about the high pressure sales, but all I did was not go to the Parking Pass desk. Went out the other door. No one bothered me at all. Phone's been unplugged most of the time, so not sure if they've called.

Someone asked about coffee filters - we had 8. Assuming that's because we are here 8 nights. 2 packets of laundry soap and dishwasher soap.

Momof2gr8kids or anyone else there - Can you let me know if they had the following:

cupcake pan
Big skillet
big pot to boil noodles in
large mixing bowl
can opener
9x13 pyrex or metal dish

Thanks!

No cupcake pan, but everything else you mentioned is here. The mixing bowls have lids for them too, which is nice.

Checked in yesterday morning at 8! We lucked up because there were available rooms so definitely ask if you arrive early!

Is there anywhere on property we can go to see fireworks since we don't have a view?

Wyndham never has a cupcake pan - we bring / buy disposable aluminum cupcake tins when we get our groceries.

Wow - you guys are energetic - no baking here on vacation! lol. Although I hate baking at home too... But nice to have the kitchen for easy dinners after the park. I know lots of people say no way will they cook on vacation, but honestly, it's more relaxing coming back here and making something simple than dragging a tired family to a restaurant.

Easy to bake some muffins while the kids shower (yanno - those 30 min teen showers?). Add some wheat germ to make them digest a little slower and kill the carb crash...

Thanks! I'll check it out. We are in Tower 1

ETA: It's not labeled as anything but it is obviously a room on display. Doors are propped open, all lights and TVs on, etc. It's a 4 bdrm presidential and is gorgeous! We will try tonight if fireworks aren't cancelled from rain.

I am starting to agree with this more and more. After the incident yesterday at Sweet Tomatoes where I didn't get to eat due to the sick and screaming baby.... we are enjoying eating here more. Not to mention, my 4 year old is ridiculously picky. Dragging everyone to a restaurant in the traffic last night and then all the drama with the baby was blahhhh.

Wish me some pixie / mummy dust if you have a mo!

Trying to add a day onto our reservation at WBC in early June. We just looked at our Wyndham points and figured out that we need to use a few more this summer, and adding a day to Orlando would be great. We currently have 2, 3 night back-to-back stays, and want to expand that to a full week. We have the 3 park Universal tix, so we can add the extra park day is already paid for, and since we would be using our own points, the extra night is paid for, too. It's finding someone giving up a ressie that includes June 13 so we can snag that extra night that will be the problem.

Other than calling VIP reservations hotline daily until we leave, does anyone have any suggestions for me?
