The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[lindaprvs]

We stayed in building 4 and the master had a whirlpool with the tiny bubble "jets". From all the pictures I've seen, I think all of the whirlpool tubs are like that but I've only stayed here once (so far) and could be wrong.

I have stayed in towers 3&4 with both having bubble jet tubs in master

Thanks! It seems like maybe the jetted tubs are in Buildings 1 & 2..

I booked over the phone. Is the requesting thing something you do online, or does it come into play later, or what?

I have a 4 bedroom presidential booked. I have stayed in a 3 bedroom presidential. For those who have stayed in both, other than the obvious extra master suite and room/ bathrooms, what are the other differences worth noting?Just wonder how alike they are aside from size.

Thanks!

Unless you are in owner, they do not take requests ahead of time. When you check in you can ask for your preference but that doesn't mean you will get it. We asked for a fireworks view and our condo was designated as one, but we were on the 7th floor right at the tree line so we couldn't see very much.

We want 1st floor in bldg 4 or 5....Hoping that by asking for first floor we will get it....most people don't want floor 1

haPevraftr - I think the main difference between the 3 & 4 bedroom presidential units is the larger balcony with 2 chaise lounges. The 3 bedroom does not have the chaise lounges.
Also the dining table is a 10 top. The living area is a little larger and the two king rooms are on the far end of each wing with the room with 2 doubles the first bedroom on each end of the wing when you leave the living room area. Also the two king bathrooms are not the same. One has two sinks and the other only has one sink.

We like lower floor close to the exits as well. Especially if we are coming and going a lot. The exception might be if we can get a nice view of the Fireworks/parks, being higher might be better.

What's special about bldgs 4 and 5? I'm reading through the thread here and there but no way I will get through all 230+ pages. Is there a list that compares the different bldgs?

 

[asmit4]

We are creatures of habit- we were in bldg 5 and we loved it. We found that bldgs 4 and 5 are close to the parking ramp, and the pool that we like- it's umm...what's the word? One of those graduated walk in pools- good for babies.

We also like that the outdoor pool restaurant is close by to our bldg (4/5), and the #1 reason? PARKING RAMP. The parking ramp is right in btwn 4/5- so parking is never an issue.

Zero entry pool

Awesome, thanks! One of my personal requests is that we are close to parking since we will be driving everywhere. I wasn't sure what to request other than "close to parking" which could mean all kinds of things.

Going back the week before Thanksgiving. Can't wait!!

 

[hazer99]

SOOOOOOO excited!!! We just booked WBC for next April. Going for 12 days in a Presidential!!!! This will be our 3rd stay but 1st presidential stay

How many bedrooms? Do you mind telling me how much you paid for it?

 

[hazer99]

how much would that cost you?

Ooh - I'm so excited I'm doing my happy dance.

We decided to do a last minute trip and I couldn't find the exact dates we wanted on ebay, so I emailed vacation strategies earlier this afternoon and checked with them, because we had used them for our last bc stay. They called back almost immediately and said they didn't have the dates available, and apologized and sent an email for a free future night. Couldn't believe the great customer service, they didn't need to offer that at all - since I was asking for a stay starting 2 weeks from now.

So, I figured it wasn't going to happen but around 4:00 on a Saturday, no less, I tried Ken at vacation upgrades - sent an email. He called back 20 minutes later - and had the exact dates we wanted! Can't believe it. I would highly recommend using these places to book your stays - such great customer service.

Woo hoo, now I'm off to go plan a last minute vacation - so much to do!

Have a great stay. We get to Florida on 6th August and stay at BC from 11th. Also booked with Ken. Fantastic service as always. This will be our 6th stay. Really can't wait.

Thank you this is helpful! Good to know about the differences in the master bath. Can you tell me if the 2 guest bathrooms are identical? If not, what are the differences?
Also, is there any additional seating in the living room? Or is it just the one couch and two end chairs?

I asked this on one of the transportation threads & received no response so I thought I'd post it here instead:

If I stay at Bonnet Creek & drive to Epcot in the morning, what time would I need to leave WBC to arrive at Epcot in time to make it to MK for rope drop? I always end up at Epcot in the evening so I usually park there & head to MK but have never done so to make RD.

Are you taking a cab from Epcot to MK?

I presume the monorail. Ok, so let me think. 10 minutes from parking spot to parking spot. Plan on 30 to walk to monorail, get on monorail, and arrive at MK....so ummm....maybe 40 minutes and add 10 for good measure. So leave 50 minutes prior to the time you want to be there. We arrive at MK for rope drop around 30 minutes prior to opening. YMMV.
