The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

Not sure how we got so lucky but upon arrival yesterday for 12 nights in a 2 bedroom deluxe, we found out we'd been upgraded to a 4 bedroom/4 bath presidential in Tower 5 on the top floor. Amazing room or should I say luxury penthouse! Even for a family of 6 (2 adults, 4 small kids), this place is huge!

Not sure how their upgrade system works. Maybe we got the extra big shovel of offsite pixie dust because we are booked for 12 days. In any case, not asking questions. ;0)

That is amazing. Congrats!!

Is there a link to grocery stores near BCR?

Wow! Awesome. Congrats and enjoy.

Does anyone know if the beds in the second bedroom move? I am hoping I can push one against the wall and maybe put a chair on the other side and avoid renting bedrails for my 3 year old.

Any info appreciated - thank you!!

In case it's too hard to move the bed, here are a few things we have done other places:

We always unpack and so need a place to put suitcases anyway. Once, qw stood them up in a row between the bed and wall - it was just enough room for them sideways. And put a pillow on top. This made it taller than the bed, so no rolling onto the suitcase, and no floor to fall onto.

I have read a tip to put a pool noodle under the bottom sheet - we never had one with us, but rolling up a big towel into a long tube shape, and putting it under the bottom sheet actually worked to prevent rolling out of the bed. I also like to tuck the blanket in as far as I can between the mattress and box spring.

Hi

I need some help on what Tower to Stay at..

Any suggestions on what Tower Building to stay at...

Booked a 2 Bedroom Deluxe.. Will be asking for room facing the lake.

I can't remember does the 2 Bedroom deluxe have a balcony?

We are 3 single women just going to relax at pool and going to parks
We will be using the Resort Shuttle since we will not have a car while staying at resort..
Would like a Tower we can get to room with no problems after arriving from parks late at night with shuttle bus
Want to be close to Lazy river, great Pool and Bar restaurant..
Also looking for Tower renovated and nice rooms..

It has been awhile since I've been at Resort..
Last time stayed in the building with the Activity center which is also the same building for La Cantina.. What tower number was that?

Hope someone can help answer my questions..

Looking for any suggestions..

Thanks

just remember requests are just that. many people request a certain tower and are told not available , as well as facing lake. I honestly believe it has to do with the actual person working the desk and not what is actually available

Is there a luggage store at BCR? Our flight home isn't until late and I would prefer to leave our luggage somewhere secure at BC than have to leave it in the car all day.

 

[kat3668]

Yes in building 1 by the front entrance.

Would someone share their dining experiences from BC? I can find the restaurants but no good details like menus, quality or price. Our last trip we were at WL and relied heavily on the food court. I'm curious as what to expect for our upcoming stay at BC...we are almost at 180 days.

We thought the Wyndham Grand (hotel) had good bar and grill food at resort prices. I am talking about the bar and grill near the lake. WBC itself has no restaurant but the hotel is as convenient. We had fried pickles -- yum, the burgers where too big IMO but still good. WBC has a pizza and sandwich shop. We did not try it so I can't comment.

Also, a the Hilton and Waldorf are very close and have restaurants.

We ordered Giordanos and had it delivered early in our trip and ate it all week long. Loved both the Chicago style pizza and lasagna.

We were there two years ago and got sandwiches (not great) from a place in the main building (where the registration desk is) and pizza (pretty good) from the pool bar near building 3. I think those are the only two "quick-servie" type places at WBC.

At least once each trip we order pizza from the bar by the pool. Its nice to let the kids swim and eat while we all relax. Surprisingly the pizza was pretty good and very affordable.

Where can you smoke at? Granny is coming with us. She has quit smoking for right now, but you never know about tomorrow!

 

[cammie810]

We had a small pizza one night at one of the pool bars that was actually pretty good. There is also an outdoor place next to one of the lazy rivers that has sandwiches and appetizers and stuff. Didnt eat there but the food looked ok. The restaurants at the hotel are kind of expensive. Cheaper to get take out delivered!
As far as smoking....you can smoke on your balcony. Ashtrays are provided. Walking around the complex there are many outdoor smoking areas.

 

[kylovebug]

Thank you for your reply - I caught Granny smoking less than 3 hours after I posted that. I think I jinxed her!

Anyone have a quick link to the list of kitchen items in the 2 bed deluxe. Pots? Pans? Etc.

 

[Spanky]

The kitchens come fully stocked with dishes, flatware, knives, basic pots and pans, colander, hand mixer, blender, toaster, coffee maker (takes cone style filters), standard gadgets: corkscrew, can opener, cheese grater, pizza cutter, ice cream scoop. The units come stocked with a few days worth of coffee, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tabs and laundry soap.
The above is from page 1 of this forum. I find the pots & pans are usually - 1 big pot, 1 fry pan, usually 2 different size sauce pans. Usually a 9 X 9 glass pan, sometimes a 13 x 9. Cookie sheet, I have never found a cake pan. The oven usually has a roaster pan in the drawer below. Sometimes there are glass dishes you can use to cook in the oven or microwave.

How are the pools in the beginning of November? Is the water warn enough to swim if it is chilly out? I would hate to go an miss out on the pools - they look so fun! We've never stayed at Bonnet Creek yet . We have stayed at PORFQ the first week of December and swimming was too cold. Is November at BC better?

Also does BC do anything for Halloween?
