Hilton: lake buena vista vs bonnet creek

[FairytaleBelle]

I know this exact question came up before but It only got 2 answers so I thought I'd try a new thread.

I've stayed at LBV I thought the bus services were good, DTD proximity was great and the hotel on the hole was pretty nice.

Is BC as near to epcot as it seems? I've read that the buses at BC are very slow, up to 45 minutes to get to HS, is this true?

Whilst I'm under the impression that BC is more luxurious than LBV (correct me if I'm wrong as if I'm wrong my choice is easy!) we will be going to the parks most days only an afternoon or two at the pool.

Is it true that the shuttle to the parks is now not free from BC?

Thankyou in advance- I am going on May 24th if that makes a difference.

If you are referring to the Wyndham Bonnet Creek timeshare resort, the shuttles are now $5 per person for a round trip.


The Bonnet Creek resort area is within the Disney gates. It's next door to the Caribbean Beach resort. It's very close to the boardwalk, hollywood studios and epcot, but you would need to drive or take public transportation to those places.

The Bonnet Creek area is also home to the Wyndham Grand hotel, a traditional luxury hotel, the Hilton Bonnet Creek and the Waldorf Astoria.

The Bonnet Creek most people write about on this board is the timeshare resort, because you can get it for a great price and get lots of room.

Thanks for the reply,


I was referring to the Hilton in both cases..do you have any more info on the Hilton BC?

I have stayed at both. Hilton bc has a much nicer pool with a lazy river (they rent inner tubes or u can buy some). Also it is a nicer hotel. The Hilton Accross from dtd has location going for it and that is the reason I would pick dtd again. I did not use the buses at bc as I had a car. Another plus for the Hilton at dtd is it is the only non Disney hotel that is allowed to take advantage of the extra magic hours. If u are a gold Hilton member u do get free breakfast at both
