The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

[ClanHarrison]

Ugh, this week is taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! I am seriously so excited to check out the 4 bedroom pres. We go Friday and this week is just dragging!

I'm excited FOR you! You're gonna think you died & have gone to heaven . Seriously...it was a beautiful experience. I'm not sure how I'll EVER go back to WBC and NOT stay in the 4 b/r Pres. We spoiled ourselves.

Yes, the PP has the details on reserving specific rooms.

For everything else, the best place to start learning about your new Wyndham ownership is the directory. You can get to it from the online site, but you have to be logged in as an owner. Here is a direct link.

Thank you both for the great information, it is truly appreciated! I'm learning as I go with these points, and I like what I see so far I'm ready to experience Bonnet Creek with my boys..who are now equally as excited!!

We are a little over a week away from our trip to Disney. We have rented a 2 bedroom deluxe for our family of 6 and a 1 bedroom deluxe for my parents.

I called down to WBC today to ask a question. (Had previously called to request our 2 rooms in the same building) The gal at the front desk said our rooms are right next to each other, she said she knew our room number, but couldn't tell me. It was a secret WTH...

I am so excited to get this trip going and getting away from the frigid cold here in Wisconsin. 8 more days!!!

They won't tell you because they don't want you showing up early, harassing the previous occupants to GET OUT early.

Believe me this happens. I have stayed at campgrounds were you reserve a site by site #. Check out was 1 PM. Check in was 4PM. They day we were checking out, we were packing up our camper and a big RV pulled up. It was 11 AM. The man got out asking if we were ready to leave because he wanted to check in.

We had planned on finishing our packing and then eating lunch before we left, but this man's presence kind of cramped our style.

He wasn't nasty or anything, he had just made good time on the road. However, in this day and age of people not having common courtesy anymore, I could see where some people might get nasty.

Can you ask for extra towels in your room or do I need to pack more? I know you can wash but I usually need extras.

We also took a cooler with us to the bar. Whoops, I mean pool. We're hardcore but not that hardcore.

I emailed Ken back and told him that was out of our budget which he understood. I ended up emailing VS and they came back with a $1075 which I can live with. Do they try to rebook for you closer to time like Ken does? Either way, I am happy with this price.

Anyone else going the last week in June? I am trying to convince my sister and her family to go that week too. The more the merrier!!

Hey Vettechick,
Your thread and helpful advice is the reason we booked BC in Nov. 2010. I am so relieved to see that you to are considering Vacation Strategy. We love Ken Price, but are trying to save as much money as we can. Humaira seems incredibly helpful and nice. We will be there 6-6 to 6-13. Did you book w/VS?

Have a great trip! Post your review when you get back so we can live vicariously through you. I have pics of the 4 bdrm pres unit on page 76 if you'd like to see them.

Can anyone tell me a little more about the rental agreement with Vacation Strategy? They e mailed me a quote with an agreement embedded in the e mail. I then had to reply to the email and send in my deposit within 24 hrs. There was nowhere for me or them to sign. Has anyone who rented with them experienced this. I e mailed them to ask, but it is quite late and don't expect to hear anything until later.

I bet you must be excited! I have months to go, and I'm super psyched about it already! I hope you have a fantastic trip and nothing but sunshine and blue skies... You are really lucky to have your rooms right next to each other too, that bodes well for your trip

I'd love to see your pics of Bonnet Creek when you get back. I think it helps us get our fix until we can go ourselves.

This will be our first stay, but to cut down on costs, we plan on eating breakfast in our room each day! Having a kitchen will be a great help for cutting down costs on breakfasts, snackfoods, dessert at the end of a long day, or packing lunches, eating meals on a non park day!

Hey Photobee... looks to me like you'll be there right after us. I'd be more than happy to leave my stuff for you in the 'pay it forward' box. I'm not worried about receiving anything, but I hate throwing stuff away, and if someone else can benefit, then great! And if you can't use it, you could always leave it for someone else after you, if you don't mind?

Thanks! We leave this morning and I'm super excited. Did you have lots of towels in your pres? Im trying to decide whether to shovel some in the too full suitcase LOL

Off to check out your pics now!

ETA: Oh yes, I have already drooled at your pics several times.

Comparing it to staying at Windsor Hills (since they are both "self catering") ..We stayed at WH last time...and the only real "complaint" I have of staying at a "home" is that we were asked to wash some towels/sheets and start the dishwasher before leaving....is it the same for Bonnet Creek? Also at the house they gave us dishwasher pellets...garbage bags...are things like that included at Bonnet Creek? I know there isn't daily cleaning without a charge...but just wondering about what is expected! Thanks!

I feel a little silly now..I should of read that last post!

hi, we just got back from WBC..it was awesome..all we had to do on last day was put pellet in dishwasher and start it up..and put dirty towels in the bathroom in a pile. that was it..so easy to checkout..have fun great place to stay ..will go back in 13 months

There are a lot of towels in the room. Both bathrooms have several full sets of towels. Some people have reported on here that you can get even more towels if you need them. I would save the space in your luggage for souvenirs.

Is the parking pass really necessary at BC? Put another way, are there any ramifications if you don't display the pass on your car? I'd prefer to avoid the timeshare sales pitch hassle if I can. I know to check off the lowest income box on the survey, unplug my phone etc. I'd just rather not go through the whole exercise if I can avoid it.

For those of you who have booked with Vacation STRATEGIES, how did you contact them? I have requested a quote via their website contact form TWICE, I have never heard back. Did you call them?
Thanks

It took them about 24 hours to respond to my request for a quote on their website. And when I had a question a few days later, I had to email twice to get a response. This is not the norm from what I've read and from what I've heard IRL from a friend who booked thru VS in the fall. Perhaps its just a super busy time for them? In any case, I would just call if you don't hear back within 24 hours.
