The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

[Branabb]

as you can tell by my ticker it is just about go time...

1. What is the number I call to firm up my room request? anything I should know for this call?

407-238-3500
2. I am reading how parking can be difficult at night, I thought I read somewhere there is a covered garage that keeps the car cool and always has parking...where is it and what building is it closest to?

There is one between Tower 6 and the Wyndham Grand Hotel and another between 4/5
TIA

4BR are in every tower, so I would check the room assignment first (should have your room assignment already). If it is tower 6 then yes, check in at tower 6. For the rest, it's the main building check in.

The room number is not listed on the reservation. Will they be able to tell me this if I call the resort directly? I'm renting this reservation, not an owner.

Yes, they should be able too assuming you are in the system. I would give them a call. As far as Presidentials go, the rooms are assigned at the time of booking. You can request a room change, but it is more difficult since these are limited supply and high demand.

If you stay at Bonnet Creek are you able to use the Grand's fitness center and Pool?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, because it is on the same property and owned by Wyndham.

Happy Summer!

Hi all, getting ready for my stay at WBC on the 19th. Does anyone have any experience with a room in the Main Building? I don't see this option listed very often, but we requested it becuase we think our kids might like the main building pool. Also, does anyone know if the Main building rooms have been refurbished? TIA for any and all info!

Not all presidential units are presidential reserve and only presidential reserve units are always pre-assigned.

I'm so excited! We booked at 2 bedroom deluxe thru Vacation Strategy for 2 weeks in April. Their price was amazing.

Hello,

If you are bring another family with you are you better off buying one 4 br or two 2 br pres's?

I know this question has been asked before but I need more info on it. I read that if you buy two 2 br pres's you get an extra washer and dryer.

Another question I have is if i decide to buy a 4 br pres. should I request it in the older buildings or in tower 6? I want a lake view with fireworks view. I don't want tower 4 or 5. Also if you have any recent photos of a lake and fireworks view I would love to see them!

Thanks!

Happy Summer!

As with anything and Wyndham points it depends. 4BR are fewer points than 2 - 2 BR, but there are also fewer 4BR so the probability of an owner getting a 4BR with substantial discounts is lower. However, when a 4BR is reserved with the point discounts they are a very good value.

Just keep looking and get prices from as many renters as possible, because no two renters have the same amount of costs to cover (depending on discounts at booking and avg mf/pt). And I just covered the simple variables associated with booking reservations, there are definately many more.

I am debating on trading my timeshare for a stay WBC in February. On the RCI website the room configuration for a 2 bedroom sleeps 8/ 6 in privacy states a queen, a futon, and a pull out queen. I have been reading the threads and don't see anyone else commenting on the futons. I called the resort and the girl seemed unsure and thought there were none. I called RCI and they said go by what the resort says. I cannot have my kids spend their vacation on a futon!! Anyone have answers??

Don't know anything about a Futon.

The standard 2bdrm configuration is a King bed in the Master Suite, 2 queens in the 2nd bedroom (standard hotel room style), and then a Pull out sofa-bed in the living room area.

Yup exactly what I was going to say

We are here now. This is our second time in a 2 bedroom.
Both set ups were the same.
Nice King in Master
2nd bedroom two double beds (could sleep 2)
and pull out couch could sleep two (not the worst but not the best)


Honestly, the units are nice and spacious but 8 people in them and you would be tripping over each other. Good luck

Would this work? There will be six of us.

DH and I in the Master bedroom

DD25 and her boyfriend in one double bed. Both are about 5 feet 10.
DD 23 and her daughter (DGD3) in the other double bed.

I don't really want to deal with the pull out couch if possible.

As always, many thanks.

In theory that would work.

We're arriving at Bonnet Creek on 8/15. We've booked through Ken Price (second time ). We've requested Tower 6 and I think I've read Tower 6 has its own check in.

I'd like to just go straight there but I'm not sure how requests are honored given that 6 has become popular. Can I call in advance to see where they've booked us or should I assume we can get the tower?

Another question - we'll be driving over from Sarasota, any recommendations for groceries close to Bonnett Creek but on the way from Sarasota?

Thanks

There is a Publix in the plaza on the corner of Irlo Bronson and International Drive (where it starts). You probably have shopped at them down there and I like their bakery, seafood and meat departments. Pricier than Walmart but right on the way. At this point you will be 10 minutes away from WBC.

We stayed in tower 2 in June and LOVED the mattress so much I took a picture - it shows Beautyrest Hospitality for Wyndham. Unfortunately I need the model number from the side/front hang tag - it should start with a
M00_ _ _. If anyone is staying there I would love this information - we are trying to order one and can't without the code. I called the front desk and they don't have the info.

Thanks so much!!!!

I agree I do love the BC mattresses. Unfortunately, I do not have the model number.
