The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3 - Page 10 - The DIS Discussion Forums

snappy · 10-04-2012, 07:43 AM

Got back on Tuesday, the lazy river and pool behind the main building was drained last week before our arrival on Sept 27th. Lots of tiles/bricks being replaced and small piles of sand. They told me it would be out of service for at least 6 weeks.

I was bummed but it will be nicer as I prefer this lazy river, but it will be nicer when I return so I was not too upset.

I went ahead and called BC because no one had answered this question I posted. They do not have bedrails....in case anyone else wants to know. I really liked that they have them at the WDW resorts. Oh well.....guess I will throw ours in the van.

OK.... just called WBC to make sure we are "all good" for our stay in Nov and to put a request in for a specific tower. Was told that 4BR Presidentials are assigned a room at the time the reservation was made (back in January) and that they know what room we are in. Wanted Tower 6.... am assigned Tower 2.

So.......

Anyone been to Tower 2 lately? Has it been refurbed? We are on the 9th floor in an even # room. Anyone know which "view" that gives (water or parking lot)? He said it wasn't possible to change the room unless I undo the entire reservation and re-do it.... which is not gonna happen!

Any info you have would be GREAT!! Thank you!

If I remember correctly from the old thread, even-numbered rooms in Tower 2 face the lake. You will most likely have a great view of the fireworks and the lake depending on which Tower 2 wing you are in (West or East). You'll be close to the bar & pizzaria, mini-golf, volleyball, and playground. You will also be between pools at the mail bldg. and Tower 3. I think Tower 2 & 3 were the most recently renovated.

My mom will need to have some medication refilled while we are on vacation. Anyone know of the closest Walgreens or CVS or someplace to get it called in?

When you check in at WBC they will give you a listing of grocery stores with driving directions. Right across the street from the Publix is a Walgreens. Very easy to get to.

Does anyone know what time of day they are closing the water slides this month? I checked the activity sheet and it doesn't list the slides specifically.

I'm trying to decide how to plan our arrival and if the kids will get a chance to use the slides we'll do that first, but if they're already closed we'll just head right over to DTD.

Thanks!

Hello all!!

I will be staying at Bonnet creek next year in July with my husband, children and my in-laws. We reserved a 3 bedroom Presidential suite. I'm really looking forward to staying in the Presidential suite, but I'm concerned with how high the floor is. I have a 1 year old and the high floor kind of scares me. She will never be left unattended, nor is she a rambunctious child. Am I over-reacting, or should I make a room change?? All opinions are welcome!! Please help!!

I think I remember reading (in one of these BC threads) that the slider doors are very heavy to move, making it hard for small children to open. I wouldnt worry...just keep the sliders locked and an eye on the small fry

Hi everyone! We leave one week from today for Bonnet Creek. It will be our first stay and we are REALLY excited.

Quick question-I believe we will have access to both the gym at BC and also the gym at the Grand Orlando Hotel correct? Does anyone know the gym hours? I'm hoping I have time to get to the gym early and make it to rope drop at the parks.

Thanks!

Just had to pop in and say that I am so excited because my dad just bought in to the Wyndham Timeshare program. When they told me All I could think of was Bonnet Creek!!

That's what I told him!!!

I know he is thinking that we just have Disney on our mind. They plan to use it to travel around but I'm sure we can talk him into a Disney trip before to long.

My mom is a HUGE Disney fan too!!

Ok, I'll display my ignorance. Is there more than 1 lazy river on property? We arrive a week from today and will be completely bummed out if the one, and only, lazy river is down for our stay. It was the feature that really sold me on trying the place. TIA!
