So great seeing pics and hearing such great reports about the resort. We just booked today - got an amazing rate with Vacation Strategy - $1250 for 14 nights!!!! Amazing. That's a saving of around $4,000. Plus we'll have so much space and save on food as well.

Thanks for the update, Julie. Hope you make many, many more magical vacay memories!

thanks for the information.. Still mulling it over... I keep going back and forth about it. I have 3 rooms at SOG whicn means more privacy. We are 7 people and would technically be housed all in the same unit.. I am not positive that is the best way to go

ALthough I would love having the kitchen!!

I would go with WBC, first you can all be in the same villa with a kitchen and the price is going to be significantly less. At SOG you are going to be paying $315 per night.

Echo queen, my understanding is that building 6 is the only one with wi-fi throughout the entire building. The other buildings advertise that they have wi-fi in the first floor common areas. However, when we were in building 5,
13th floor, in February, I got a wi-fi signal on the balcony that was strong enough to reliably connect my Kindle Fire. I could pick up a weaker wi-fi signal in the unit but sometimes it wasn't strong enough for a good connection. We used the wired connection for our laptop, which worked fine.

Thanks for this info, I will need wifi for my iPad.

I am so happy to report we will still be able to go on our vacation the end of July! I was offered a new employment opportunity and begin my new job June 11th. They are going to work with me so our family will still be able to take our vacation! What a great company!!!

 

[jaysmom4285]

nancy155, that's great news! It must be a good feeling not only to get the new job but to know that you're working for someone who is so accommodating. Have a great time at WBC! Hope you'll be able to give us updates while you're there.

Thanks everyone for the congrats! I will take a lot of photos on vaca and of the resort itself to give updates while I am there. I know while I am waiting for our vacation it keeps me going to read others experiences and view their photos!

Oooh! Pics, pics pics...!


Still waiting for my confirmation email for WBC check-in one month from today. Hope that Vacation Strategy got me in the Wyndham system and that we're just closer to the 20 days than to the 50 days. Oh well, that just means I won't get charged the balance until later. Anyone else having the same concern?

We booked through Vacation Strategy as well. We arrive in 18 days. The original confirmation I got from them in January said to expect link for final payment & confirmation 50 to 30 days. When I got to the 30 day mark I emailed and called them. They sent me an email saying they would be in touch 30 to 20 days before arrival. So Im guessing their target date has changed from 50 to 30 days to 30 to 20 days out. I got a call and email this past week - I was 22 days out. So try not to worry. I called Bonnet Creek and confirmed we were in their system and we were. I have not heard any negative comments on Vacation Strategy other than they are slow returning email. I'm thinking they are just really busy. Super nice people to deal with. Have a great vacation !! we are sooooooo excited !

We also booked through Vacation Strategy and still have a ways to go (December)... but feel very confident in them, thanks to other folks who have used them successfully. Thanks for posting your experience with them -- look forward to seeing pictures from you!!!

You just took a nice load off my worries! I am very excited, too - love to spring the trip as a "surprise" on the family so they don't know what's coming. I mean, they know the basic itinerary but not the details.... WHY IS IT SO FUN TO PLAN VACATIONS? This is one place where I don't feel like I'm a lone nut.

Yup, Gas Grills! There are built in types and last year when we were there for Spring Break they brought in gas grills on wheels too....so there were about 2 or 3 grills per every couple buildings. It was busy at times.
