The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[Silock]

We stayed 22 nights this July/August and didn't change rooms. 21 Nights last year. Never heard of anyone having to change, unless they wanted to.

Holy crap! That's a long vacation!

I thinks its easier to get a lower floor as lots of people seem to want to stay up high, never understood why.

We request higher floors when we travel. If it is a 3 or 4 story building, I request top floor. That way we dont have to hear kids jumping off the beds onto the floor (our ceiling). We stayed at the CR years ago one floor under club level. After listening to the kids above us scream and holler and jump off the furniture for about an hour, we called the front desk (it was about 11pm). They said they would call the room and voila--within a few minutes the screaming and jumping stopped.
If it is a higher building, we request as high a floor as possible. You get a better view and you dont have to worry as much about noise from the pool area or people walking by your patio/balcony.
At least thats our reasoning others may have different reasons.

Does anyone know where I can find a good deal going dec 6-8? 3 adults 1 child. All I need is one room

 

[asmit4]

have you tried vacation strategy?

Anyone know if parking is free at BC? My mom said she is reading lOADS of reviews on trip advisor of people having to pay 15 bucks. I thought it was free to park onsite???

 

[asmit4]

Also- the pool situation is downright confusing! What bldg. is the kids splashpad located at? (the splashpad that is big with the rainbow colored water spouts)

I always ask for a high floor too... the first thing my husband does when we get to our room is count doors to the stairs... in case of fire...(yes he's a firefighter ) good habit to get into when staying in any hotel above ground floor

Free! They are confusing Bonnet Creek, the timeshare portion, with Wyndham Grand at Bonnet Creek, the hotel. There is a charge to park at the Wyndham Grand hotel.

Arrived today and we're VERY happy with our 2 bdrm deluxe in tower 1!

We'll be there Dec 6th-16th. We found Aaron Washburn on myresortnetwork.com. He offered us a one bedroom for $60.00 per night or a two bedroom for $70.00 per night. Last May we rented from Vacation Strategies. We've also gotten quotes from Vacation Upgrades, Farrell's Vacations, and a couple of renters that list on myresortnetwork.com. Also you might want to check on ebay. Just go with a renter that has alot of good feedback.

Parking at Bonnet Creek timeshare is free (we stayed there last May and again in Sept). Guests at the Wyndham Grand hotel I believe must pay for parking though. Also unless you have an annual pass that allows free parking, you will pay $15.00 per day to park at the parks.

Also- the pool situation is downright confusing! What bldg. is the kids splashpad located at? (the splashpad that is big with the rainbow colored water spouts)

Are you talking about the one behind the Main Building? We walked by there, but didn't really pay attention to it, other than to comment that if we brought our grandson down there he'd want to spend every day there.

That is awesome. I'd love to stay there for 3 weeks

By the way, are you Portuguese? Just curious about your screen name...

My family and I just stayed in a 2 bedroom Presidential room in Tower 6. Room 1121 to be exact. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. The view was great. We truly loved it.

What does everyone do with unused food? We're leaving on Saturday morning and can't take it with us...I hate throwing it out!

if it is not perishable there is actually a pay it forward thread but you usually have to sign up for that in advance

Why don't you DIS-message (PM) drmark50, susie2 or ahill004 -- all of them are currently participating in the Pay It Forward bins at WBC and maybe one of them can meet and get the non-perishables from you (food, dry goods, detergent, sunblock, other stuff you don't want to take home, etc.) and add it to the bin for future WBC/DIS guests.

Hope you enjoyed your WBC stay. We're headed there for the first time in Jan!

Each tower has a box in the lobby that you can leave non-perishables. I believe that they donate the items to a food bank.

Well, I just called WBC to double and triple check our reservation for next Saturday. Phew. She told me to make my room request upon check in. I have a reservation for a 3 bedroom deluxe unit. Should I request for tower 6 higher floor? Would that have a better view and closer activities for the kids? Where do I go to check in anyway? I know I have not done too much planning for this trip. I'm getting my tix this weekend at the Disney Store. lol....Thank you.

 

[Bellamouse]

We left our unused perishables in the fridge. I was hoping the cleaning staff would take them home (unopened individual yogurts, cheese, bottled waters, etc.). I didn't know what to do with ours either....

Tower six rooms from floors 9 or 10 are only presidentials, I believe. Tower five has 15 floors with the lazy river and is just a couple hundred feet away from tower six and the pirate pool. I'm not sure of the three bedroom locations but tower five and four higher floors offer wonderful views of Epcot and Magic Kingdom wishes plus possible DTD.

Officially one week away till our vacation starts!! We start off our trip at WBC and I can't wait to check in for the first time!!! Just for fun, I called and reconfirmed my reservation!! Our first day there right now is showing 79 degrees, so I really hope that means it will be a lazy river day!!! I'm really looking forward to it! Anyone else checking in next week?!

Are the pools heated? And by that I mean in November or December are they heated warm enough to swim even if the air is brisk?

How is the mini-golf course? Is it well kept? Also, do they have any other type of equipment free to use? Like balls or hoola hoops?

We are still undecided on the exact dates of our trip - anywhere from end of October 2014 to December 2014. But I know we want to have several resort days to relax. If it is cold out, I want to make sure we can entertain ourselves without swimming.
