The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[MinnieLovesMickey12]

Does anyone know the maximum height for the parking garage? I have a Ford F350 Super Duty and since we'll be there over Christmas/New Year's, I'm assuming it will be hard to find an outdoor parking spot.

Thanks.

407-238-3500 Call them and ask them. They may not even know that info themselves and may have to go look at the sign and call you back. I remember seeing the clearance height marked on the sign because we had to park in the one at building 5 one night, but I don't remember what the height was. I wasn't paying attention because we were in a car. There are 2 parking garages if I am not mistaken and they both should have close to the same clearance height.

Woohoo! We will be staying at Bonnet Creek for the first time from 12/28-1/4 in a two bedroom deluxe. All of this happened suddenly. What do I need to know? Do they charge for parking. I understand that they now charge for the shuttle to disney. We have 8 so we will just drive and pay to park at Disney each day.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Will I know which building we will be in before we check in?

If you have booked a 3, 2 or 1 bedroom presidential, you will be in Tower 6. For a deluxe or 4 bedroom presidential, you can be in any tower.

Just got back from BC this weekend. Though I still love it and plan on going back, they really do need to be better at upkeep and maintenance. We were in building 5 and the rugs in the hallway in our floor were dirty. The outside of tower 4 definitely needs some pressure washing. And they definitely need to do more pest control as I saw many palmetto bugs scurring around. Aside from those things, BC is still a great value for being so close to Disney.

On a side note, We checked in early (about 10am) in hopes of being one of the first to request a room. We were hoping for tower 6, lake view. It was pointless to even bother checking in early. Apparently room requests are only for Wyndham VIP owners (according to the guy who checked us in). We ended up with tower 5 parking lot view. I don't like the new policy for requesting rooms. I'm a Wyndham Bonnet Creek owner myself, just can't afford a VIP membership. I don't want to think that I'll always be stuck in a parking lot view room.

Greetings from Maine! So excited that I booked WBC. We have always stayed onsite but figured since we're going to SeaWorld, IOA and perhaps BG we may as well stay offsite. A little apprehensive due to never being offsite but we are a family of 5 and I don't feel like squeezing into a room at POR (although I've stayed here before and LOVED the resort). Since we became a family of 5, we have stayed Deluxe and have loved the resorts but I just can't see paying that kind of money anymore.

But we shall see - a long time until June and alot can happen. I have a history of switching resorts over and over.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just checked out this morning so I'd love to give a little review!

i had wrote you guys a couple weeks ago, very apprehensive about booking a stay there, and I was encouraged to give it a try... I was not disappointed!

Loved our room. We were in Tower 3, everything was updated and new in our room. Very clean. We had a golf course view. Could not see fireworks from our room, but just steps away in the hallway was the Perfect view of Epcot, where we watched their fireworks every night. It was great!

My only disappointment was at check-in, since I was given hope that you could make requests and they'd try their best to accommodate them (even when calling to confirm my reservation they told me this). The lady shot me down immediately when I requested a fireworks view. Pretty much said there's no hope. She said there are no rooms available right now, but I can wait for one. I asked if I could wait for one with a fireworks view and she assured me that even if she noted the request I wouldn't get it, so she wasn't going to bother. She then told me that requests can only be given to owners.

We did go get the parking pass, only because my DH was curious to see what they offered if you went to those meetings. He told him he wasn't interested, and we were given the pass with no problem. We were out most days and didn't check the machine to see if they called.

Too cold for swimming, which was so upsetting! We did play miniature golf, just hated that we had to walk to tower 6 to get the equipment (golf located at tower 3) and then had to walk back tower 6 to return it! We also tried out the small game room in the main lobby and also ate at the little food place there as well. Food was good!

On our 2nd night, we had a VERY rowdy family check in at 10pm right next door - they sounded like they were going to come through the walls on more than one occasion!!! It wasn't till it sounded like someone got hurt that they finally calmed down.

Overall, the room was very clean and nicely updated! We were very happy with it!! I would stay again!!!!

Thank you to everyone who helped us to decide to stay there!! We are on board!!

When you drive up, you will see the check in building straight in front of you. You can't miss it.

Didn't see anything like that there. I'm actually at SSR now and do not see anything like that either. Something new?

What mrsap said. Easy peasy.

No Which would have been nice. I don't know how, but my DD25 left her iPhone charging cord home. With only one charging cord and two iPhones, it was hard to keep mine charged.

The DVC villas have the iHome charging/radios. Probably in a bedroom.

We just checked in at 10am this morning and requested a high floor. A hour later our room was ready, Tower 5, 15th floor! Room and view are awesome !!

 

[MisKaren1]

Checking in tomorrow for 6 nights. Hoping for the same request! Thanks for posting. Have a great vacation!

 

[Angie789]

Checking in one week from today!

Thanks for everyone's input on this thread - looking forward to posting my own review!

Glad you got that view. We had 14th floor tower 5 last year. I would gladly pay extra if you could for it. The fireworks and waking up to the Epcot Ball is a sight. We checked in Friday this fall though and it appears to be the wrong day as the best we got was 2nd floor. Most stays are Saturday check out I believe and the availability is far better? You also may have missed our blizzard Thursday I hope. It was nasty.

WBC = I'm a fan ... Building 4 ... High Floor ... Lake / Pool / View (Rooms ending in odd #)
Balcony / afternoon shade

Thanks.

Not sure if you ever saw my other post with the number to the resort and not sure if you called. Dh told me he thinks he remembers the parking garage height to be 7 feet on the one at tower 5. I am assuming the other one would be the same.

I am thinking of requesting a first floor pool view room for our upcoming visit. Am I making a mistake? Do they even have first floor rooms?

I feel like it would be fun to be able to walk right out of your room to the pool..

we rented a 2 bedroom deluxe villa...

thanks!
