Can anyone tell me about this hotel on Disney property?
Helping someone with a trip and I thought this might be something for them to look into.
Thanks in advance.

Be sure they understand that while this hotel is on Disney property, it doesn't get them all of the perks of staying in a Disney-owned resort (such as the free Disney Magical Express to/from the airport).

This is not Disney property. The Bonnet Creek property is adjacent to Disney property and because it got boxed in by highway (and was not permitted to build an exit) and Disney - Disney was required to allow them an entry/exit point on to Disney property.

It is correct that they have no Disney perks or amenities and it's doubtful they ever will.

We've stayed at Bonnet Creek MANY times. It's the best value on planet earth, and it's insane how nice it is. It's the ultimate option for anyone who is willing to stay at a non-disney property.

True- it isn't on Disney property, but to most folks, it sure appears to be. Either way, the Disney perks aren't available and that was the point I wanted to make.

Okay. I think because everyone thinks or says it's on property that is where the confusion lies with the amenities and perks. I just always try to make it clear it isn't - so don't expect any perks. It's even more confusing now that Wyndham bought the older hotel on Hotel Plaza Blvd. Not that it has any perks other than location but it further confuses folks.

Thank you so much everyone! All good points.

We LOVE Bonnet Creek - doing our third stay there later this year. If you opt for this location, you will definitely need a vehicle. They charge for the bus to WDW and it doesn't run all the time. No shopping or other amenities in walking distance. This is not an issue to us as we always drive down anyway. There is a Walmart relatively close by and restaurants are not far either.

I think the deal is that Disney wanted to buy the property but the owners didn't want to or asked for too much money.
