We decided on BC and will be there in 3 weeks. Are the buses ECV friendly? My dad and step mom will be with us and she has neuropathy. We could drive if need be though too.
I just came back from 4 days at WBC and I wanted to share with you some observations.
First, if you plan on spending almost the entire day at Disney World it doesn't matter if you have a fireworks view. What does matter is how close you are to the bus if you plan to use it. At the end of the day, if you have to walk past three building to get to yours and your feet are killing you, you will really wish you had requested tower 6 or tower 1. Plus your kids will more than likely prefer to be in the pool instead of watching the fireworks.
Second, if your whirlpool doesn't work, check the breaker box.
Third, the the pirate ship slide is only open from 9-6. So don't tell your kids that they will get to go on the slide after a long day in Disney. They will only be disappointed.
Fourth, if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. The air conditioner unit is incredibly loud. Everyone I talked to said the same thing about theirs.
Fifth, consider bringing a rolling, grocery cart to bring in groceries or use the bellhop carts they keep for guest use on the ground floor.
We stayed in Tower 4, 12th floor. One piece of furniture was obviously damaged so I called the front desk to let them know. We came to Florida with 6 days of Disney passes and planned to stay all day at the parks and swim at night. It was close to the parks and the buses were great. We would stay here again but for our family of 6 we would get a 3 bedroom. We didn't use any of the resort amenities except the pool. The place was pretty quiet and there was very little sales pressure.
Hope this helps someone.
I would like to know too. We are thinking of staying here next April for a few nights as well.

I'm looking at booking a one bedroom at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for a girls' getaway in early December. The unit is a one bedroom with a sleeper sofa but that's pretty much all I know. Is there a building that would be best for us? We're two women in our 50s, no kids on this trip. We'd like something convenient to a pool (doesn't have to have a slide or anything) and a shuttle stop.
Thanks!
I would look at renting a two bedroom this way each of you have your own room and no one has to sleep on the pullout sofa. The one bedroom only have a king size bed. For Adults I would choose bldg 4, 5 or 6.
We are going in April. I am a government employee and trying a site I heard about here on the Dis. http://www.getravelop.com/index.html We got a 1-bedroom for 7 nights for $392 including tax.
I could use some advise. I'm trying to weed through the info but there is so much! lol
We only live an hour and a half away from Disney and go almost every weekend. Occasionally we will stay over for one night. And then occasionally we will stay for 4-5 nights.
We've stayed at Palisades resort a lot, but this looks way better and much closer!
Anyway, we are a family of 5 (kids ages 17, 17, and 5). We tend to like quieter, more relaxed things and my youngest is very shy and quiet. (Made the mistake once of staying at Nickelodeon and it was awful for us. Too obnoxious!)
1. Should we be looking for certain buildings/areas?
2. Where should we look for reserving? Since we are close, we are able to do a lot of last minute stuff if that helps.
3. Any other tips I should know about?
4. And what is that pay it forward thread about?
5. Do Wynham rewards work there? Just wondering if I should sign up.
6. What does a "presidentual suite" actually mean?
It would be awesome to find a place we could consistently stay at. I'm getting tired of bouncing to different places.
Just wanted to share a look at the new hotel pool taken from my balcony this morning.
Heading there on 10/30 with our friends! Can't wait! First stay at WBC...always stayed on property before now, but we are now Wyndham owners at 3 locations, including WBC! awesome! I'm so excited reading the threads about WBC!!! )))
Can anyone tell me about building 5? We are requesting fireworks view...is that a nice building or not?
