As per my 2013 WBC vacation ... the phone to router option is no longer a option.

There is no ethernet plug/jack on phone any more.

I called the front desk to confirm = no longer a option.

My 2012 WBC vacation ... I too used my router via the kitchen phone.

2012 was the year wifi was being installed throughout WBC

Thanks for the info!! I'll cross that off my packing list. Appreciate it.
 
I seem to remember reading somewhere that they do a swim test for the slide pools. Is that true? If so, what does the test entail? Curious if my DS will be able to pass.

Sounds like something I should of told my kids to get them to pay closer attention during swimming lessons.

There is no swim test that i've ever seen or heard of in many trips there. They do have height requirements. One of the slides doesn't even end in a swimming pool, it ends like a slide at a water park.
 


My husband decided we should take a trip in October. I am scrambling to find a place to stay. I've contacted multiple recommended listings on here but all have said that there is no availability for the dates we are wanting. We are looking for Oct 21-26. I know its not the typical weekly stay...but is there still a chance that something might open up? I'm watching ebay like a hawk, I've tried VRBO and still not luck. Also, has anyone stayed in the 1BR and have any comments on the fold out couch? My kids would be sleeping on this and we have stayed other places where the fold out couch is really uncomfortable. I'm trying to figure out if we can make it in a 1BR or should try for the 2BR.

I have heard good things about Orange Lake from multiple people I know and trust, if you can't find any availability at WBC during our dates.
 


Hey guys and gals, I'll be staying in a 2 bedroom in November and was wondering 2 things... What are the closest grocery store options and has anyone had luck using Uber getting to the disney parks. We will be renting a car but the fare estimater for Uber shows it would be cheaper to use them for most of the parks. Thanks a bunch!!

Then tonight we took uber from Poly to Wyndham Bonnet Creek and it was 8.41 before tip.

To add to my past post we also used Uber to Hollywood Studios from Wyndam Bonnet Creek this morning and it was $4.71 before tip
 
I will be traveling to Disney for my second visit in the next few months (not counting a childhood trip when I was six). Last time I stayed at the Swan and Dolphin and took Disney buses to the parks. I am staying at WBC this time and will have a car. I am an obsessive planner and I know that most of you sympathize. I've looked up the normal routes from WBC to the parks, but are there any back roads or less known routes you all know and recommend for faster and easier travel around the property? I have a smartphone with Google Maps and Waze, but figured you all might have some additional tips. Thanks!
 
We're home from our first WBC stay! We have always stayed at a Disney resort but we were traveling with another family and staying in the same room/unit was a must for us, so that put Disney WAY out of our budget. We used Ebay to get an amazing rate ($1,500/7 nights) in a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom Presidential Suite. The suite was HUGE and we LOVED having our own washer and dryer. The full kitchen and dining area was great since we at 2 meals a day in the unit. We had the BEST views from Tower 3 – we could see the Epcot ball from our balcony, as well as the Illuminations fireworks AND the Frozen fireworks! We had one little problem… cockroaches! They weren’t swarming the place, but they were HUGE. We smashed one and hoped that was it... but the next day we saw 2 more, so we called the front desk. They sprayed the unit while we were at the park and we didn’t see another one for the rest of the stay. We tried all of the pools and the kids loved the splash park and lazy river and the slides. I will say that our unit was in need of a refurb. Everything looked pretty beat up. It didn't bother me, but I know some people we curious about refurbs -- I can tell you tower 3 (at least on the 9th floor) hasn't been touched.

I'm unsure if we'll go off site again, driving to and from MK/TTC was enough to make me lose it (waited over 40 mins to get on a ferry to the TTC and that was BEFORE Wishes). If we do ever go off site again we'll be coming back to WBC.

We used Uber to get to and from Epcot for a date night and had no issues except the drivers seemed annoyed that we were going to the parks. I guess the fares aren't worth the hassle? We got a few delines before someone accepted our route and that has never happened to us before.

Hi! Sorry to hear about the uber difficulty. We actually dont see your destination until you are in the car.

Maybe that's why they were annoyed -- they didn't realize they had to take us into Epcot!

I mean, if you're an Uber driver in the area one woudl assume you'd be going into Disney parks a lot... our first driver got lost! It was fine, but I expected them to be VERY familiar with the area and they weren't.
 
The thing with wdw is you get former/current castmembers....and then newbies who think its an obvious place to go because itll be busy all the time (its not!)
 
We just made our final payment on our vacation in December! Of course I'm back with more questions!!! What building do you suggest for a one bedroom presidential lake view? Which buildings were the most recently renovated? Thanks so much!
