The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

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!!

Very happy! On 8th floor. Little noise. Nice pool by building, short walk to hotel pool and bar, pirate pool, mini golf. Updated unit, no parking problems, but we are back before 9 each night so far. My dd's comment says it all "I can believe we get to stay here!"

Let me know specific questions and I'll help you best I can.

Thank you dismom115! That is reassuring, now hopefully being a Wyndham owner they weren't just giving me lip service when they told me tower 3. We will find out in a couple of months!

I just ran into the 2nd bedroom to try and they do not. They are on a platform vs a box springs. One bed is about 2 ft from the wall-too narrow for unit chairs to fit between the wall and bed. Chairs from the unit would fit on either side of the other bed. Hope this helps!

Has anyone booked through VacationStrategy lately? In the past, they used to put our names in the reservation with WBC and we could call directly to confirm about a month prior when we paid our deposit. Now they tell me it will happen only the week before we arrive.

Should I be concerned?

Has ownership there changed? Its a whole bunch of different people than I've dealt with in the past few years.

Dismom - we have moved the beds in the 2nd bedroom for that very reason. While the headrests don't move, you can actually move the boxspring/frame. A pain to do (and then put back), but its definitely feasible!

Thank you for checking for me! I really appreciate it.

Does anyone have experience booking just 60 days out with Vacation Upgrades (to get the $120/night rate)?

Don't really want to move our dates up and the week we'd like is at $180/night.

We booked in January for March but we only needed a 1 BR. They had two different weeks in March available. I suspect if you wait you run the risk they won't have what you want?

Eek. $420 is nothing to sneeze at, so I think we'll take our chances. My oldest isn't going on this trip, so if worst comes to worst, the 5 of us can make do with a 1 bedroom if that's all that's left. Will keep my fingers crossed!

Cherish - we did not use Vacation Strategy, but that's the same info I got for our upcoming trip. Something about not being about to change once they download the name. Glad to hear you are getting the same story.

We booked our 12 nights through Dream Travel Inc. We arrive Sunday and after calling WBC today to confirm our reservations, found out we weren't even in the system yet. After asking Dream Travel, I was told they don't put us in the WBC system until 48 hours before the reservation.

We're checking in on the 23rd of April and Vacation Upgrades emailed me the letters from Wyndham with my name on it a few days ago.

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

I prefer towers 5 and 6. Tower 5 overlooks a very nice lazy river and the lake. Tower 6 has a pirate slide pool with cabanas available for rent (great for relaxing.) Tower 6 is tougher to get since their aren't many floors with deluxe units (most are presidential.) Tower requests are simply requests and not always honored.

The resort shuttle will cost you 3 ladies more than the parking fee at the parks. Since there are 3 of you a taxi would be about the same price and you could go on your time table. You don't say how you are arriving but if you are flying into MCO then the cost of the taxi from the airport plus the shuttle cost will be more than renting a small car. Just something to consider...

 

[katallo]

What are the current shuttle prices. We've heard the timing is terrible.

$6 per person, per day.

Who do you use to rent from at WBC? Want to go back next March loved it so much there! Do they have 1 bedrooms? This year I had a 3 bedroom, but will only need 1 bedroom for next year.

 

[sretav]

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)

 

[floridacrazy]

Congrats on your upgrade. 12 days in a 4-bedroom - what a nice vacation. Are you a Wyndham owner or did you rent from a person or company that most people on this site use? You were sprinkled with pixie dust, especially if you were a renter and not a Wyndham owner.

Have a great vacation.
