First Stay at Bonnet Creek Resort - The DIS Discussion Forums

katallo · 11-14-2009, 06:53 PM

Just wanted to do a brief report on our stay at Bonnet Creek. It was wonderful. The two bedroom units are very roomy with large bathrooms and bedding. Loved the activities and complimentary mini golf. The individual pools at each unit are very nice, but the main pool is great and a very easy walk. If anyone has questions, please let me know. We've been staying at the DVC units for several years, but truly enjoyed this experience and ...we saved a ton of money.

A friend of mine just stayed there the first week of Nov. and loved it, the rooms look nicely decorated and roomy and she said the pool was great and nice to have a full kitchen and still be so close the parks. Glad you had a nice trip. Linda

So nice to hear! We are staying there in February. Any tips?

My brother is staying there starting the day after Thanksgiving for a week. Can you tell me about the transportation to the parks and other resorts?

Thanks,

Leslye

The shuttle is scheduled, and shared-route: one bus to MK+EP, another to AK+DS. The schedule is relatively frequent (perhaps every half-hour), but with a bit of a mid-day pause, IIRC.

Personally, I'd consider a car necessary.

The shuttle schedule was very adequate. We did use it, but also had a car. We went to the holiday party at the Magic Kingdom and BC's last shuttle was at 10:45 pm. We were glad we had a car since we stayed a bit longer.

One tip and it's strictly a personal preference..if you like decent paper products (tissue, etc.) take some with you. Try to stop by the activitity center. There are always fun things to do and they have great outdoor grilling areas by each building with picnic tables. Request an upper floor with a fireworks view. It's great! And by the way, no sales pitch pressure. They asked once and that was it.

Regarding the shuttle buses:

Do they drop you at the park entrance or is it a bit of a walk from where they drop you off? How about pickup locations at the parks - are they by the Disney buses or someplace else?

Last question: Does the MK shuttle go to the MK or just to the TTC?

Many thanks!

When we went to the MK, the bus dropped us off at the TTC and then we took the ferry to the MK.
