The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

Hi everyone! It's been about 6 years since my last Disney trip and this will be the first time staying offsite July 18-25. I booked through Michael Sullivan, winpoints vip, and so far so good. My room confirmation reflects that my room is a 2 bedroom presidential reserve room. I've heard the only difference is they give you some robes and upgraded toiletries. If there is more to it than that, I'd love for someone to enlighten me! I also heard that because I'm not a Wyndham owner, they don't have to give me the reserve room even though that is what is currently reserved. Does anyone have experience with being booked a Presidential Reserve room as the guest of an owner and them not providing the reserve room at checkin? Or does anyone have any feedback about a Presidential Reserve room at all? Thanks!

In case someone else has this question, I wanted to report back that we indeed received the Presidential Reserve room on the 16th floor of tower 6. We did not have robes, however. It was great because we didn't have to request a high floor room as the reserve units are on the high floors and you need a room key to get to the floor. This was our first visit to WBCR and we will definitely return. We had an awesome experience and the condo/resort was gorgeous. Getting to the parks was a breeze. I have done the Disney transportation before and can confirm having your own car is easier with the exception of Magic Kingdom where you need to go to the transportation and ticket center. But even then, it wasn't too bad.
 
I was planning on placing an order with Garden Grocer but wasn't really thrilled with their selection. What is the nearest grocery store and is it decent? I believe others have posted that Publix and Walmart are about 4.5 miles away. Is there anything closer?

I saw online that Goodings (grocery store) will deliver to WBC and a few other

locations (Shades of Green - DISNEY Resorts) *Online Shopping*

I cannot speak for their items ...

because I was just signing up ... online for their *Club Card*

*Maybe try searching ~ Crossroads Plaza Store Directory*

There is really nothing closer than Walmart an Publix with that kind of selection and price. There are a couple of Hess gas stations that have some drinks and things. The resort has a small store with a few expensive items. The disney resorts also have stores with a few expensive items.

Thanks. Garden Grocer worked for a few supplies in our hotel room in the past but it looks like we are making a Publix run!
 
If you follow the signs to AK and then go towards AKL turn left on Sherbeth road. Turn right on the service road behind the gift shop on the corner (Black Lake Road I think?)

Take the service road to the end and turn right on Irlo Bronson (92). The Publix at Orange Lake is a very short distance. Download the Publix App. The app has an order online option for deli items. If you order as you are getting in the car, your deli items will be waiting for you, saving precious vacation time.
 
Oh, and Goodings at Crossroads is expensive and it was pretty gross last time I went in there (which admittedly was many years ago)

Now THAT's a great tip!!!! Thank you so much!

And thanks to everyone else, too. I don't know what I'd do without Disboards!
 
I won a bid on Skyauction a few months ago for a week at Bonnet Creek ($599 for 2 bd). I just got a Welcome letter in the mail from Bonnet Creek for our trip which is Aug. 23 - 30. So it seems with Skyauction, your name gets on the reservation a lot sooner than with some others. It seems like they might have sent it at the 30 days prior to check in time frame.

Is there a toll to get to Epcot from WBC? If so, how much is it?
Also, coming from NC and saw there is a bypass around Orland, 417. Is that quicker that using I4? Will be traveling on a Saturday afternoon.

I am interested in maybe doing this one day. I thought it might be nice to do on our way back to Hollywood Studios after our afternoon break. If we pick up the sandwiches on the way, we can sit and eat them in the theater while waiting for Fantasmic. However, when I mapped it out, it doesn't seem very convenient. Is there any particular park that it would be more convenient to do this on the way to/from? When have you done this?

We have 2 "rest" days to hang out at the resort. I thought about grilling for lunch for those days. However picking up sandwiches from Publix might be nice too. We can sit and eat them while lounging around the pool. The only problem is someone has to go pick them up! I don't really trust DH to get it right, but since you can order ahead on the app, it might be doable! I have restaurant.com certificates for dinner those two rest days.

We will be staying one night at AofA on our arrival day. The following day, our first park day, will be at MK then we will head to WBC. We have BOG for dinner at 5:30 and will leave after that. We plan to make rope drop or maybe even BOG breakfast at 8:00. Would it make more since to leave our car parked at AofA and take the bus or park at TTC? We have never stayed off site before so not sure how much trouble TTC is.
