The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[Safari23]

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.

Thanks! So the shuttle does go to downtown Disney?

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!

All 2 bedroom presidentials are in Tower 6, you can check in at that tower.

They are slightly larger than a deluxe unit, a bit more swank in the decor, have a full-size washers and dryer and stainless appliances. Our presidential unit did not have the sofa bed the deluxes have.

Enjoy!

We are staying in a 4 bdrm Presidential, checking in this weekend. Are they all in Building 6? Should we also check in at building 6?

4 bedroom Presidentials are located in all the towers. The guard will tell you where to go.

We are booked next week in a 4br Presidential Reserve unit. I understand these are all in Tower 6, is that right? Also, I totally missed that fact that there was no sofa bed in these units and we had one teenager planning to sleep there! If we bring an air mattress for him will there be floor space to set it up somewhere? He doesn't really care where he sleeps thankfully!

The 4 bedroom we were in had a great space in the living area where you could move up the two chairs and make a place for a bed behind the chairs between the wall to the porch. Just be sure your total folks in the condo do not exceed the fire code. Depending how tall he is he could just sleep on the couch

Mandyb - the unit can sleep twelve. Two king beds and four double beds. If you need to use an air mattress then move the coffee table out of the living area and put the air mattress between the couch and TV there should be plenty of room.

 

[mandyb]

There are only ten of us. But the makeup of our party is such that we need one more bed than we have. He'll be totally fine on the air mattress so I'm glad to hear there's a good space to set it up. Thanks!

Does anyone know if infants count in the maximum room occupancy?

We're heading down to WBC in 6 days! Has anyone on here ever used the gas grills they have for guests to cook on outside? We're planning on cooking a few meals at the resort while we're on vacation and would like to grill. Are they only located in one central area?

 

[divearnd]

WBC gas grills that I have seen are outside towers 4, 5 and 6. Not sure what the grill situation is for the other three towers.

We have used the grills by Tower 6. They can get pretty busy during the evenings so we had to make sure we had a back up plan if they were all in use.

No bed rails unless WBC purchased them recently

Thank you. Plan B it is then.

 

[DavisVacationer]

Thanks! Can't wait to get down there!!

 

[mommy2jack]

Put in our request today with RCI for October. Anyone know how long it possibly could take? They currently have dates listed for exchange into July so I'm hoping I got ours in nice and early! Fingers crossed we get it! We REALLY want to stay here!

I don't have time for a full review, but just wanted to post a quick note about our stay at WBC. We leave tomorrow morning for two days at Universal, and then two days at the Grand Floridian, I'm really dreading the transfer. WBC has been absolutely perfect for our family of four, and I can't imagine how we're going to get through the rest of the trip in a normal hotel room.

The condo is not fancy, but it has everything we've needed, and the space to spread out is amazing. We've had a rental car, and getting around has been a piece of cake. I was anxious about it at first, but we simply followed the signs to the Caribbean Beach resort, and we know we're right next door. The commute times have been really short, and I can't imagine how anything "on property" could be any more convenient. Our longest trip was to Magic Kingdom, which took us about 15 minutes in the car, plus another 30 to walk to the TTC and take the monorail or ferry to the park entrance. The other parks were all much shorter (less than 30 minutes from room to inside the park for each). If you're on the fence about WBC and are traveling with kids, I say go for it.

4-bedroom presidentials are located in ALL the towers, not just Tower 6.

1, 2 and 3 bedroom presidentials are ONLY located in Tower 6.

Have fun!

We are heading down to WBC in a few weeks. I have a few questions regarding the kitchen and bathroom supplies. There will be 5 of us staying in a 2BR.

1. Do the coffee makers still take the cone style filters? Are there enough for 7 days or should I bring my own?

2. Will we find paper towels, a kitchen sponge, liquid dish soap?

3. Is there enough TP for the week?

I am happy to bring the above supplies because I do not want to trek down to the main building to get more supplies (or worse yet- go shopping for them), but if WBC provides enough to cover us that will be less to worry about packing!

 

[divearnd]

Zilp - Wyndham has cut back on some of the supplies. Yes conefilters are provided but I would bring extras. Usually there are one or two small dish detergent packs for the dish washer. Not sure about detergent for the sink but if there is any it would be a very small amount. They do provide dish rags and dish towels and usually a sponge. Extra tp typically two extra rolls in each bathroom plus whatever is already on the wall Despenser. Assuming you will get their mid-week tidy up you should get more to. My experience is that if you need extra supplies call the front desk and ask for it.
