Bonnet Creek?

[TeacherDL]

I have had some recommendations to look into staying at Bonnet Creek. I'm sure this is a dumb question, but when I look, there comes up three different things...Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort, Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek, and Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort. Which one should I look at? What are the differences? Thanks!

Wyndham Bonnet Creek is the place most people refer to when discussing WBC. We've stayed there several times and it's amazing.

Ditto this. And also just to add detail in case you're curious, there are actually four resorts at Bonnet Creek: Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort (the "we looooove Bonnet Creek" one), Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek, Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, and Waldorf Astoria Orlando. You can see the four labeled on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/bonnet+creek/@28.3583448,-81.5386542,1932m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en The Wyndham hotel flanks teh same lake as the Wyndham timeshare/ownership resort and shares the promenade and guests can use one another's pools. Also on the map you can see just how close the Disney properties are to the Bonnet Creek area!

Bonnet Creek is this piece of land/area that these are built in and agree GREAT LOCATION.

You have two campuses - Hilton and Wydham. They do NOT share any amenities or transportation. NOTHING is sharing between the two companies.

Hilton = two deluxe/luxury hotels and convention space. Great pool at Hilton. They have great transportation.

Wyndham = deluxe hotel and lots of timeshares all around a lake. You can use all pool etc amenities. They do not share parking. Shuttles are not talked about positively. Because of the timeshare complex there are lots of organized activities to participate in for the full resort experience.

The Wyndham timeshares - large condos - are the ones most people talk about. They also have no resort fees or parking fees like the others. We love staying there! We have a car.

AFAIK after staying at the Hilton you can use either pool if staying at the Waldorf however IIR guests of the Hilton only have access to the Hilton pool. IMO in either event the Hilton pool is the better of the two. The Hilton pool has the lazy river. The Waldorf pool is clearly more adult centric. While both the Waldorf and Hilton are in essence a part of the same resort they are separated by a large convention center. Not a short walk nor many will want to traipse through a gaggle of conventioneers to get from one to the other. If you stay and HBC and use the self park PLEASE!! watch the kiddo's. The traffic from staff in this structure drives insanely fast.
In the end we were not big fans of HBC. The Waldorf is nice.
FWIW The JW Marriott and Ritz Grande Lakes have an almost identical set up in structure and pool. They do have a shuttle that's covered in your resort fee. If you self drive from Grande Lakes on average it's 20 minutes.
