The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[g8torphan]

Have a quote for May of 14, price seems good, about $135/night total for a 2BR.
Would it be worth it to wait until inside 60 days, or just book it?
If I wait, how low could it go?

Any reviews of the mini golf course?

What are the height requirements for the slides?

Any height restrictions on the lazy rivers?

Is there a day the resort seems busier than others?
We were thinking of hanging at the resort on a Sat rather than going to the parks since they are usually so busy on Sat.

1. The mini golf is fun. It is a small course, like at other Wyndham resorts. Don't expect volcanoes, waterfalls, etc.
2. I believe there is a height restriction for the water slides, but I don't know what is because I make it LOL.
3. No height restrictions for the lazy rivers.
4. I was there on a Saturday in early December of 2011. It was not busy or over crowded.

Can't really speak on pricing since I own and don't rent

1. The mini Golf course looks like fun. It's a basic "flat" course that doesn't have much in the way of fancy obstacles. If you are looking for the fancy theming, structures, and obstacles there are plenty of other options in the surrounding tourist areas.

2. Can't say for certain, but I want to say it's in the 40" range for the slides. I don't recall exactly since I meet the requirements and haven't had to pay much attention to them. The slide at Tower 3 I believe has the lower height requirement, but it does drop you into the deep end of the pool, so you need to be a good swimmer to use it.

3. no height requirement for the lazy rivers. We actually took our 3mo old around the lazy river late one night last year.

4. Can't really speak to a day at the resort busier than others. It really can vary on the time of year, crowds, weather, and the makeup of the guests staying there. Generally your high turnover days for checkin/checkouts are going to be Saturday and Sunday, so you may be likely to see less people using the pools during the morning and afternoon as people are leaving or arriving at the resort.

Thanks everyone!

Pretty sure we're going to book WBC, but I'm sure I'll have more ?'s as we get closer.

Has anyone used Laru resorts? I have a quote from Larry Walburg for our July 2014 trip and want to make sure there won't be any problems with my rental.

Thank you

Does WBC have a business center with printer capabilities? When we were there last fall I did need one so I don't know. I need to print shipping labels for small parts. If they don't, is anyone aware of a internet café or similar nearby?

Yes! I used them for our June 2013 trip with no problems. Everything went smoothly and they were quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend them. You can look them up on Facebook, they have a page there.

Hope you have a great trip!

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm a little paranoid when it comes to booking things online. Especially when that kind of money is involved!

If you just called it's possible you caught someone on their cell after hours. Happened to me last week. Called in the evening to change dates and got the owner on his cell. Was asked to send an email. They responded promptly in the morning, and even sent me a new receipt/confirmation with updated dates. Good luck!

thanks for the input.. I feel better now... I actually got a call and the guy told me office hours are 9-5 so I could call tomorrow if I don't get an email confirmation

Possible ... early May is a lower season than mid to late May (Memorial Day)

Our per Night Rate ... May 2013 (4/28 - 5/6) was lower than May 2012 (5/21 - 5/30)

I don't know what may be available booking this late, but try Vacation Strategy, Vacation Upgrades, Farrell's Vacations, Shelby Resorts, or Aaron Washburn. The last two are listers on myvacationnetworkcom. We used Vacation Strategy this past May and are using Shelby Resorts for my Sept trip, and then Aaron Washburn for our Dec trip. We got quotes from all of them and just went with the cheapest for each trip, as they all get very good reviews. Other people have found good deals though renters on ebay.

For a one bedroom we paid $89.60/night this past May through Vacation Strategy, for my Sept trip I am paying $74.37/night through Shelby Resorts and for our Dec trip we are paying just $60.00/night through Aaron Washburn (he also offered us a two bedroom for just $70.00 per night).

Is there any restaurants on property?

At this late a date I'd say check with the major renters who can tell you if anything is available. You might also want to check Ebay in case anyone is attempting to sell a reservation that covers your dates. you may need to contact the seller though if it's not exactly your dates to see if they would be willing to work with you.

Is there any restaurants on property?

there are a few pool bars, an onsite pizza delivery (or you can always eat it at the pool bar it's located at), and a couple restaurants located at the Wyndham Grande Hotel which is located between 2 of the timeshare towers.
