Just an FYI... Booked with Vacation Strategy. Just paid my final balance. Called and confirmed with WBC and I am definitely booked.

So far, so good. Thumbs up!

FYI. I just called WBC and asked about the 1-bedroom suites. I was told that the 1-bedrooms with lake and firework views are in Tower 3.

I'm off to research Tower 3! Anyone have any pics and thoughts to share on it?

That's good to hear. We booked with Vacation Strategy for June. Did they call to tell you your final balance or send an email?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread, and to DISboards, but I've been reading for a few weeks now. I hope to be someone who loves WBC later this year.

We have our first trip to WDW booked for September. We have a larger family, so I've been researching how to do WDW without breaking the bank. I stumbled across a little known (at least in our office) discount with our corporate franchise (Century 21), and I jumped on a deal for WBC. $600 for 7 nights. We are happy.

So, our hotel is booked, our YES tickets have been purchased, and I'm mapping our driving route. Now all we have to do it wait another 6 months....

I'm absorbing all the WBC info. I really appreciate all the good stuff in this thread and the picture thread. Views, parking, shuttle, pools, and dining info are all so helpful.

A view of the Epcot fireworks would be too fabulous, but frankly we are happy to have a couple bedrooms and a kitchen in a hotel so close to everything without having to pay the Disney resort rates.

Sorry if this has been answered previously, but I don't want to search through 100+ pages of posts to find it.

Does Bonnet Creek have a restaurant? If so, how is it? Also, does anyone have an example of the bus schedule to and from the parks?

Email, however, there was an error and it didn't show my balance, so I replied and asked. Humaira responded pretty quickly, apologized and told me my balance. I call WBC and confirmed that I was booked, then paid my balance.

Here are some pictures of the view from Tower 6.

You did the same thing wwe did in 2010 - purchased YES tickets for our family of five and booked a 2-bedroom for $550 (5 nights). Saved soooo much $$!!

Question about the 1 bedroom units.
Is there enough room in the bedroom to put 2 toddler beds?

I doubt it but need to know.

Thanks!

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

What room are you in, minniemomof3?
We'll be in Tower 6 too and would love a view like this!
Did you request anything or was this the luck of the draw?
Hope you're having a wonderful trip!

Does anyone know if building 3 has been recently renovated?

 

[minniemomof3]

I'm sorry, I can't remember the room number. I'll see if I can dig up some paper work which might have it.

I booked through an owner on Ebay and then called the resort to put in my request. I asked for building 6, waterview and upper floor. I think we were on floor 6 or 7. We loved the room, it was huge! and we had a fabulous view from each room in the unit.

The resort was amazing, the only thing I missed was having a food court for quick snacks. Since we had a full kitchen, it wasn't a problem.

Indeed! Sometimes it feels crazy to look at what our bottom line for this trip is now compared to the huge figure I was estimating just a month ago when I started researching WDW. The final tally freaked me out before, but now I'm doing a happy dance and actually getting excited for this trip.

Hee Hee! I agree! My Dad just offered to pay the extra for all of us to stay on WDW property for 11 nights until I let him know that would cost an extra $4k. I think he's pretty happy with our choice now!

Please don't go to all that trouble. You've already told me what I need to know: you asked for a water view and you were in Bldg 6.
Thanks!

minniemomof3,
Thanks for posting the pic from tower 6. It's a nice view. how far is it from tower 6 to the lazy river (is that in the main building?) My kids really looking forward for the trip particular spending time in the lazy rive, so we want to be close to that plus a view of the water. BTW, is the shuttle stop at tower 6 also?
tks.

There are two lazy rivers at the resort, at Bldg 5 and the main bldg. Building 5 is a two minute walk from bldg 6.

Found a good price from Renting-Resorts on ebay.
Anyone used them in the past?

I'm brand new to the whole ebay thing......seller ratings are perfect.

I used them last June and have a reservation with them this June. No problems at all. He is a VIP member so you should get a Tower 6 room, from what I understand. He'll send the confirmation email from Wyndham to you about 2 months before check-in.

I found a thread discussing them and it all looks great.
We're gonna be leaving in about a month so we will need to get this done
pretty quickly.
