Oh I booked through vacation strategy they never told me what building...would the person at the booth know or should I call VS and ask them

When you pull in, the gate attendant should be able to tell you which direction you need to go.

Hey everyone, quick question about the pools and lazy rivers - we're going the end of October. Last time we were at Disney, it was in January and the weather was COLD - the pools were heated but we just about died getting back to the room. Are the pools at BC heated? I never thought to check before booking and my DD is wild to go in the lazy river every day. I checked the Farmer's Almanac and that week is supposed to be cold as well.

Worry not, all the pools are heated.

 

[Spanky]

Yes, heated pool but bring a thick bathrobe to wrap up in for the dash to your unit.

 

[Chelley00]

Some of the pools are heated more than others

I was told bldg 6 is mainly presidential, so if you booked a presidential you will likely check in right at that bldg. Everyone else checks in at the main bldg.

As for pools- I was also told the pool by the 6th tower is the hottest- reason? Perhaps it's due to it being the presidential bldg

We stayed in building 4 during New Years, they had a big party at that pool, with a dive in movie. We swam until after midnight, so it was warm enough!

 

[sandynd]

Awesome! Thanks guys! We splurged the extra $100 for the week and got ourselves a 1 BR Presidential, so we get the hotter pool

To avoid even the hint of concern, I just want to note that Bonnet Creek guests can use any pool no matter what tower they are staying in.

where are the 3 bedrooms located near the elevators ?

Last year stayed in building five 5th floor, some people below smoked night and day on the balcony at times my eyes were watering

I was going to call front desk but ended up not doing so, And never said anything to the smokers I didn't want to start anything.

We are staying again soon and just wondering what others might have to say about this and how to handle it ???

Calling or talking to the smokers would not have done any good, because smoking is allowed on the balconies. The smokers were not breaking any rules. They even have ashtrays out there for them. There is nothing you could have done. We had the same problem when we were there this past May. It seemed like anytime we tried to go out onto the balcony our neighbors right below us and also to the right of us were always smoking. We just didn't get to use our balcony much and had to keep the balcony doors closed.

I would go to the front desk and ask to be moved. Not expect to be moved, but at least ask. They may have something open you never know.

We spend almost no time on the balcony so it's never a problem for us. But if you intend to use the balcony a lot, and it was that bothersome, I would have asked for a different room. I think that would be your only option really, as the pp is correct, smoking on the balcony is allowed so you can't stop them.

Just got back from a 7 night stay in room 1904 Tower Six. The view of the fireworks was incredible. It was a 4 bedroom on the top floor. For what I paid I would have been happy with a 1 bedroom, couldn't beat the value.

I have a reservation through VS in 20 days for WBC. I was initially under the impression that at 20 days out I would be given a confirmation number or some other confirmation of my resort reservation. However, when I spoke to VS, they said I wouldn't be given anything and that I just needed to show up at the resort with a picture ID to check in. This makes me a bit nervous, is this how it is always done with VS? Has anyone who has used VS in the past been given a confirmation number or anything?

Used them last September a week away from actual check in and as I recall had no confirmation # or paper work

But no problems.

Can you call WBC direct and confirm?

Used them a few weeks ago and did not have a confirmation number. No problems at all! It was very smooth! The wild thing is that they actually reserved an extra night for us by mistake! We tried to switch our flights to the next day, but it would've cost us close to $1000 on our four tickets. It was very helpful to us anyway, as we had a late flight and checked out of WBC at about 8pm- so Awesome!!!!!

 

[Kemorr]

So, I called WBC today (18 days out) just to check to see if they had my name on a reservation yet. I have an 8 night reservation booked through VS for a 4 bed presidential. The resort told me that they have me down for a 4 bed presidential for nights 2-8, but night 1 is in a 1 bed deluxe. SO, I call VS and the person I spoke with was quite terse, really. He sort of told me off for calling the resort, told me that it just confuses things. He said that all reservations are patched together and that they have assigned my name for nights 2-8 but not yet for night 1. He assured me when I show up that I will have an 8 night reservation in a 4 bed pres and won't have to change rooms. I was too afraid to ask why my name was associated with a 1 bed deluxe for 1 night! Anyhow, I think I might be a little too "Type A" for these kind of hotel reservations! I like a simple confirmation number, in my name, everything present in writing etc. Still, it seems as though many, many people on this board have had nothing but positive experiences with VS, so I am just going to turn up and hope for the best!!

 

[GR Disney]

First thanks for all of the helpful information Bonnet Creek!

This is our fist trip to Disney as a family and first time to Bonnet Creek. We booked a 2 bedroom deluxe for 7 days starting Sept 28 through VS.

We were wondering what the recommended towers and room locations are and what are the best ways to request a specific room our tower. Are kids are ages 6 and 8.

Thanks so much
