Anyone stayed here? Considering the 3 BR/3 BA for December. How does it compare to Bonnet Creek? Thanks

I stayed here in 2015. For half of the trip we shared a 3BR unit with my parents so it was myself, DH, 3 kids under 6yrs, and my mom and dad. We had a balcony overlooking one of the pools (the smaller one). I really liked it -- nice spacious unit, full kitchen, washer/dryer, good bedrooms. As far as comparing it to Bonnet Creek, no idea as I haven't stayed there yet, but I think it's much more scaled down. There is a nice zero entry feature pool with a big pirate ship waterslide, and there is a poolside bar. I believe there is also a playground somewhere on the property but we didn't use it. It was an easy drive to the parks. The units were clean and the kitchens were well equipped. I'd stay again, I think we paid around $140 a night or something like that. But if you're looking for a lot of resort activities and lazy rivers etc. I don't think they have that. It backed right up to a shopping center which was convenient if needed.

Thank you. We have similar make up of our party. It will be me and DH, my adult daughter and her BF, then 3 younger kids - 10, 14, 14. I want to do Bonnet Creek and am on the waitlist but I want to start and make plans.

Drove by it enough over the years, and my first time driving in there was when it was brand new and barely open. I think it's a good location and it's right next to a small outlet mall. I haven't seen many post that they have stayed there but it peaks my interest.

I did find quite a few YouTube videos on it, maybe those would help. Here is one ... and if you watch on YT you'll see lots of others next to it.

It is much further away from WDW than Bonnet Creek. but you probably know that.

I didn't, but thank you for the help. How much farther by uber and by driving? Thanks again

Yes, we stayed in 2014.

It was lovely. If I were to stay off site again, I would look there first. Inexpensive but very beautiful, and the pirate ship slide is pretty awesome.

I thought I had pictures to upload of the room but I don't.
