Not open for further replies.
I started packing today :cheer2:
The router will have to be last minute.

Other than the router, what do you bring?
I'll grocery shop once there for most things, but I'm wondering about kitchen items.

Do I need to bring or buy salt and pepper? I know I've stayed places that do have them on hand, and others do not.

Do any of you know if they have a cookie sheet or brownie pan?

Also do they have a variety of pillows? I'm a very fussy princess and need a firm pillow, I always pack mine, but wondering if DH and kids will be ok. they are used to firm down feather pillows. I know some timeshares put a variety of soft/firm pillows in units and some don't.
 
Does anyone know if Domino's will delivered to WBC?

TIA!

We are here now - the phone message screen says pizza deliveries are only allowed from Dominos, La Cocina, Pizza Hut, Papa Jones, Giordanos, and Flippers. So I'm guessing if they are on the list, they must be willing to deliver here (haven't tried it though.)

They provide a "starter" set of salt/pepper and sugar packets...it was enough for us...
Yes they had a cookie sheet.
If you think you will have leftovers...bring some cheap plastic food containers. I actually used ours to pack odds and ends in..so it's not wasted suitcase space! ;)

Not sure about the pillow collection!

Have fun! :)
 

I always pack additional ziplocks for food leftovers as they don't take up too much room, however your idea of packing odds and ends in containers is also a great idea.

We stayed in a 3BR so had 4 beds worth of pillows to decide from. The 1st night I assumed all of them were the same and slept on one that was like a rock - it did not agree with me. The next day I pillow surfed until I found one I could deal with and I was thrilled from then on out. No one else in the family complained about them so I must be the only fussy one. Long answer short, our room had several options for pillows avail between the bedrooms.
 
Anyone know what kind of mattresses they have? We were there a couple of weeks ago and loved the very firm mattress on the king-sized bed. Best sleep we've had in awhile! We need a new mattress set, and if what they had there is available for purchase, I'm buying one!
 
I have done some searches and read a lot of the thread which is just amazing! I'm still a little confused and hope someone can help. So, the Grand is a part of Bonnet Creek? Are they two hotels? We are staying at BC in November and wanted to see if there was a restaurant on site and the only thing I've found is pool bar info. Is there not a restaurant on site? I know since we have a full kitchen I will do most of the cooking but wanted one breakfast/dinner on site that was made for me. :)

Thanks to all of you for sharing all this information!! It's is so helpful - we have never stayed off-site and you all gave us the security to try BC. :thumbsup2
 
We have just booked a 3 bedroom presidential unit. Am I right in assuming that we will be in tower 6? From what I've read, it seems like all the presidential units are in tower 6? Does anyone know what type of view the presidential suites have? I would like to be able to face the pool, and I am not sure which way you have to face in order to see the fireworks.

I brought some cleaned out food containers that we would normally just recycle at home and used them for left overs. Our last night at the villa was leftover night and we ate up almost all of our leftovers. Then just recycled the containers.


FYI...if you bring your garbage to the trash chute there is also a big container for recyclable materials...I couldn't believe how much recycle we had!!!

There is a restraurant at the Hotel onsite...Wyndham Grand...we didn't try it because we still did a couple onsite Disney dining reservations (Chef Mickeys, Biergarten, and PrimeTime) as well as finally eating at Bahama Breeze!! Did all of the rest of our meals in the villa and used a crockpot for easy preparation! Came home after a day at the parks to dinner done!! Walmart has a 4 qt crock for $15, and we brought a timer along to start the crock around noonish for our evening dinner. Worked like a charm!

This is a fantastic idea! When I am picking up groceries I am def. picking up a crockpot and liners for easy cleanup! :stir:

We are here now - the phone message screen says pizza deliveries are only allowed from Dominos, La Cocina, Pizza Hut, Papa Jones, Giordanos, and Flippers. So I'm guessing if they are on the list, they must be willing to deliver here (haven't tried it though.)

Just to let you know how it works.

La Cocina is the "onsite" pizza that's available from the Tower 3 pool. The menu (pizza and subs) is usually on the fridge. Since they are part of the resort, they are the only ones that will deliver directly to your room.

Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Giordanos, and Flippers are all offsite. While they are allowed and will deliver to the resort, because every building requires a key to access it, they can only deliver to the tower itself and not the room. Normally the driver will call you when they get to the resort and you will need to meet them down at the lobby (Actually, just outside the doors at the building drop-off loop) to get your pizza.

The lobby pick-up isn't really that difficult to do and I've ordered pizza on a few of my trips, but it is something that you may want to consider in case you might need help carrying up the food or looking after people in the room.

"Wyndham Bonnet Creek" is a Timeshare resort with 6 towers and a main building, and not a hotel.

The "Wyndham Grand at Bonnett Creek" is a traditional (upscale) single tower hotel located around the same lake as the timeshare resort.

As part of the timeshare resort, there are not many on-site dining options available, However the Hotel has several additional onsite dining options as well as a full service spa. You can easily walk to the hotel from any of the timeshare resort towers.


We have just booked a 3 bedroom presidential unit. Am I right in assuming that we will be in tower 6? From what I've read, it seems like all the presidential units are in tower 6? Does anyone know what type of view the presidential suites have? I would like to be able to face the pool, and I am not sure which way you have to face in order to see the fireworks.

All 1, 2, and 3 bedroom presidentials are in Tower 6. There are 4bedroom Presidentials available in every building

As for the presidential views available, it depends on where in the building you are placed. I think it's floor 10 and above which are exclusively Presidential units. 1/2 the units face the pool/lake, and other 1/2 the parking lot/conservation view. There MIGHT be some firework views available off a single wing on the higher floors, but it's hard for me to say for certain because of it's location on the lake and the direction the building faces.

There are 8 buildings surrounding a lake. 7 of the buildings (Towers #1 - #6, plus the main building) comprise the time share portion of Wyndham Bonnet Creek. The 8th building (which is on the opposite side of the lake as the main building, between buildings #6 and #3) is The Wyndham Grand, which is the hotel.
 
I'm not sure if this has been answered in this thread, but is it required to give a credit card at check in for incidentals? Thank you in advance.

If you are staying at WBC timeshare part can you use the pool at Wyndham Grand the hotel part?
 
About how far is the grocery store? Is any one better than another? We'll have a rental car, so getting there and back isn't an issue.

Also, this is our first stay at Bonnet Creek, are there any things on our packing or shopping lists that you can recommend that we should definitely have? It's our first offsite stay, so I'm unsure as to what are our "must haves"

Thanks!!
