Just return from Bonnet Creek! Wow that place is soooo nice!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom in building 5, lakeview. I love this resort. Can't wait to go back. Got an awesome deal on Ebay. I know you take your chances but it was perfect. Love the set-up of the bedrooms and the pools were amazing. The only negative was the buses. Soooooo crowded and the return times need a serious redo. Monday, Nov. 29th Illiminations was at 9:30 and the last bus from Epcot left at 9:55. I called the day before and the bus company suggested we take the monorail to the TTC and then get the Bonnet Creek bus back. What a hassle!! The buses were standing room only for returns the two days we used them. Parking late at night was also an issue but I did finally find a space in the parking garage. Took the timeshare tour and got a $100 gift card and the 3 night stay (not planning to use this since Spirit has a bad rep.). We will definitely go back to BC! Ate at Sweet Tomatoes!! Yummo you have to try it!

We took the tour yesterday morning. They did a podium presentation and then a walkthrough. First they hit you with a $60,000 package then it ends up at around 13 for an EOY. The 90-minute presentation took almost 3 hours!! No real pressure to buy but even longer than Westgate's presentation. We had time to kill so we wouldn't hit rush hour traffic on our drive home or else I would have walked out on it.

3 hours! 3 hours! Wow! That must be an all time high.

We were with an individual sales agent and the whole tour took 90 minutes. About an hour in to it I mentioned that we were headed to EPCOT that day and were hoping to be on the bus by 10am. Our tour started at 8:15.

Geenerbell---did you enjoy building 5??? Can you tell me some pros/cons of staying in that particular building?? And is it possible to just say no to the timeshare presentations?? Not sure I'd like to give up three hours for something I know I'm not interested in, aside from the fact that I'll have my 3 little kids with me. Thanks!

We volunteered for the TS presentation. My brother, his wife and his sister-in-law's family were staying at the resort and were never pressured or even asked if they wanted to attend a presentation.

We really liked Building 5. It has a zero entry pool with a lazy river. The pirate ship pool is right next door at Bldg 6. Yes, when you go to the desk for your parking pass they will ask if you want to sign up for a tour. Just say no thanks.

Not even close. There are verified "90 minute" presentations that have gone on for 7 hours! If you let them they will go on and on and on until they break you down. NEVER buy retail timeshare and especially don't buy retail Wyndham. The price retail loses 95%+ of it's value on the day your right to rescind ends. That is a bad deal no matter how you spin it.

Hi,
Wondering what buildings have the 3 bedroom suites?? I was planning on a two bedroom in building 5, but am considering a 3 bedroom now that my aunt is joining us. Are the 3 bedrooms spread out around the resort or contained in one or two building?? And do you gain any room besides the bedroom---is the living room area larger, I can't tell from the floorplans I looked at. Thanks much!

I'm not sure about the 3 bedroom units. You may want to ask on the main BC thread.
