Bonnet Creek VS B Resort & Spa

[kathyclownfish]

We are 3 generations of women, DGM, DM & DD celebrating a 75th birthday in Disney. Looking at both Bonnet Creek & B Resort. Important to us is: The pool, convenience to parks and the rates. My concern at Bonnet Creek is a lot of little kids running around the resort. My concern about Bonnet Creek is the traffic around DD. Not sure which one is best for us. B Resort is cheaper. Space doesn't necessarily matter. Any thoughts?

Bonnet Creek definitely has more of a resort feel. It is also further removed from the traffic around DtD than the B Resort. In addition, Bonnet Creek has many more pools to choose from than B Resort. I would choose Bonnet Creek over B Resort any day even if B Resort is cheaper.

B Resort really does look quite nice- but at WBC you are getting way more space, a washer and dryer, full kitchen, huge balcony, multiple pools, a lazy river, and it's closer to all the Disney attractions. You can also can book WBC for potentially much less than B resort. The only drawback is the check in process at bonnet creek is annoying. Oh... and I've stayed at bonnet creek five times and have never had an issue with kids bothering us. In fact- our honeymoon was incredible and romantic and it was at bonnet creek.

I've never stayed at WBC but did stay at B Resort recently.
Medium sized pool...we didn't swim but did have a room with a balcony overlooking the pool. It was chic and modern. The bed was SOOOOO comfy. Free coffee and tea in the AM. Chilled water (with lemons and limes the time we were there!). We used the hot tub one night. We took the shuttle once and drove once to DTD as we didn't do the parks, so I can't really speak for that. Mousesavers had a good rate, plus they waive fees and give you an upgrade (I also Tweeted about my stay which will give you an upgrade if you print out the email they send you, just in case).
There are pics of The B Resort in another thread on here:

If you have a first floor room that faces the pool, they have sitting areas with the couches. They also have a few random couches/chairs to lounge around the courtyard area. It was nice to sit in the sun and relax before our pedi appointments. They do have a full-service spa (not cheap but ask for a spa services discount card if they don't give you one..that might help).
