The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

[kalc12345]

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!

We are here now. I would pack more filters. There are two rolls of paper towels, 2 extra rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. There is a sponge and dish soap. The room seems to be well stocked!

Thanks for taking the time to write while you are on vacation! How's the weather this week? Warm enough for swimming?

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.

There is a small bottle of dish detergent under the sink. The only things we bring more of are laundry detergent (so we can pack fewer clothes) and coffee filters.

Thanks for the info, I missed this earlier!

On the topic of in suite supplies.....do yourself a favour and bring a couple of rolls of TP from home. The stuff they supply will very nicely sand wood.

Today it was low 80's. I think they called for 83. Tomorrow is suppose to be even warmer...around 86. So yes, you could swim. We actually got warm in the parks today. I am thankful we are here and not at home where they are calling for lows in the teens middle of the week. We picked a great week to be in FL

Considering WBC for a long weekend next November for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon...two questions:

1. are the beds more comfortable than the Disney beds?

2. are there some decent trails and pathways to run on around the area?

Just booked June 29-July 2 at WBC. Planning to switch to HBC for a few nights as well but unsure if we will do it before or after WBC. I appreciate the info in this thread

Yes, in my opinion the beds are more comfy.

There is a nice path around the whole resort. We have enjoyed walking it during our stay this week.

Are there taxis readily available to use to get to the parks, or do you need to call ahead? Do they pick up by each individual tower?

Thanks!

Can you get groceries delivered the same as at Disney?

 

[jm106]

Are you able to see any of the night shows in the parks from WBC? I assume from the rooms it would depend on the building and room but from pool or areas around the resort? We stayed at HBC last month and they said you can see Epcots Illuminations(I believe) from their pool.

We saw the Frozen fireworks while sitting in the hot tub by Building 3 (which we're now convinced it the BEST way to view them) and also from our balcony in Building 4. Also saw the Epcot fireworks from our balcony.

We watched fireworks at HS from tower 6 in summer. Was a great view.

Has anyone rented through red week?

Do you actually have to pay a membership just to contact owners?

Having trouble finding a decent price for next August. I know it's early, so that's probably the big problem, but we're trying to make sure we get a presidential room.

This will be my first stay at WBC. I just placed my grocery order through Gardengrocer. It is my understanding that they hold the groceries in building 1, where you check in (someone correct me if I am wrong). They have refrigerators and I am assuming freezers too.

 

[Chelley00]

We used Garden Grocer in October. Our groceries not long after we checked in (garden grocer sent me a text when they delivered) Bell Services brought them to the condo for us. They do have fridge/freezer to keep things cold.

We are going over NYE week and I am wondering, other than building 6, where can i request for a view of the HS fireworks? We will be going on the 30th to see the MK ones, but I'd like to see the HS ones on actual NYE from my room because the kids will be asleep. Any room requests I should make?

Thanks in advance!

I have rented from Redweek but not at WBC. I answered a few adds and then dealt with the owners who responded back to me.

Yes, you do have to become a member so you can send emails to the owners. I think the initial emails are through the redweek system and then you can email directly once they respond.
