The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

Does anyone know what they are doing to tower 5?

Also, I have heard that the deluxe units are starting to look tired. Would it be worth upgrading to a presidential unit in this case?

Thanks!

In the other towers they have remodeled, they are putting in granite countertops, painting, updating some furniture items and decor. I stayed in a recently remodeled unit and it was great.

The presidential is nice -- you get a full size washer and dryer, plus stainless appliances, but I would not pay much more to stay in one.

Thank you for the reply! :good vibes

Have all towers been renovated now? What tower were you in?

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

We were in a remodeled room in tower 3. Others have reported on here that tower 4 has been remodeled as well. Others have reported they are doing tower 5 now.

Is it best to wait until 60 days out to reserve? Our two other trips were planned pretty last-minute so we reserved within 30 days. I am planning our next trip in February 2015 and looked for a few quotes yesterday - Vacation Strategy's quote was much higher than we have paid in the past ($195/nt for a 3br deluxe) and The Resort Advantage said they couldn't do any reservations until 60 days prior.

Are the buses still $6/day per person? Last time we went the buses were free and was a great service. However, if I'm going to pay for a ride to the parks I figure I can just call a cab that will be there to pick us up when we are ready to leave rather than worrying about the bus schedule. Has anyone taken cabs to the parks from BC? What's the average price of a one way trip?

I'm interested in the prices for the cabs too. Anyone?

Do all the rooms have DVD Players?

Do all the rooms have DVD Players?

Yes. Do you mean each room, like living room and each bedroom? I believe the answer to that too is yes.

Anyone know if the pools will still be open this month? We're heading there in 2 weeks and it's calling for high 20 degree Celsius weather!

The pools will be open. When it gets cold, Disney does however shut down the water parks, which happened last week when the temperature was in the 60s F.

Thanks. Guess we'll be packing our bathing suits after all!

I booked through Vacation Strategy a year out for next April/May and I'm paying $100 a night. Maybe it's just the week you're going?

Does anyone know if they can provide bed rails/guards for toddlers?

 

[divearnd]

Chilly - best thing to do is call them and ask. 407-238-3500

Probably. Most of February is Prime season. The last two weeks of April and first two weeks of May are Value season, which requires fewer points.

No bed rails unless WBC purchased them recently

I agree ... my stay in early May 2013 ... the price certainly was excellent.

Does the shuttle go to downtown Disney? And if so does it go straight there or stop at the parks on the way?

 

[Spanky]

There are no parks between WBC & Downtown Disney. If you have more than 3 in your group then renting a taxi would be a better option.

 

[Spanky]

Opps - Typhoon Lagoon water park is between WBC & DTD.

Our family will be staying at Bonnet Creek for the first time during Thanksgiving week - Nov 23-29. We were able to book a 2BR "presidential" unit last-minute, but we know nothing about this unit. Does anyone have any pics to share? Are all of presidential units located in the same tower? Has anyone stayed in them before? Thanks in advance for ANY feedback!
