I'm booked for Bonnet Creek! Vacation Strategy quoted me ~$98/night for a 2BR Deluxe for 12 nights in September, which I think is an awesome price.

Now September just needs to hurry up and get here!

We're staying April 21-28 and paid $180 per night through Ken Price for a 3 bd Deluxe.

We will be there the same time. Arriving the 19th to the 26th. We were quoted 3 bedroom deluxe for 770.00

I am sooo excited! Just got my quote for 12 nights in a 2 bedroom in September through Vaction Strategy- $1314.00 with taxes and everything! I'm so excited. I will book it later this morning with a $300 down payment and then pay out the remaining $1000 before our trip. I'm so excited! Its official.....I'm Goin' to Disneyworld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, officially inside the 60 day window for part of our 11 night stay at BC so the total for the 2 bedroom is going to be $1,060 and that includes taxes and fees....thats $96/night!!!! I can't believe it! We are doing a split stay reservation of 6+5, hoping we will be able to stay in the same room. That was over $300 savings from what Ken quoted us...it will pay for our rental car if we decide to keep it.

It's an educational class that Disney offers. They also offer discounted park tickets to class members' immediate family.

We are staying 3/31 through 4/7/. It's getting close, it's the first trip for my kiddos ages 6 and 4. They are beyond excited and I can't wait to see the look on their faces. I went once as a child and my DH has been twice. My MIL owns the time share and offered us the week at WBC-I was looking at the Disney Resorts and this saved us a lot of money. Can't wait to see the resort, the pics look gorgeous.

Does anyone know approx cost of the 4 bed presidential for 7 or 8 nights? Or even what a per night cost would be for that unit?

Just trying to compare as we are 2 families traveling together whether it would be worth it to try for that huge unit or stick with 2 two bedrooms.

Does vacationupgrades or vacationstrategies even offer the 4 bed pres?

Thanks so much!

We have watched prices as well for 4 BR, with the idea of splitting the cost with friends. Last time I looked for going May of this year it was going to be around $850/family for the week. The one thing about snagging a 4 BR cheaper is that I don't think they are in high demand so if you can wait until the 60 day window (unless you are going at peak time) you might get it for a steal. I once saw one for $1200 for a week. You can look on EBAY to get an idea of the prices.

HTH!!

Do any of you go to Bonnet Creek and NOT go to Disney. Is BC nice enough to spend a week at without the parks?

Yes! We did this last spring break and had a great time! We found many local restaurants that we liked so much, when we returned last summer we left the parks to eat off site. The resort has so much to do, we spent a few days just lounging around there. We also had time to visit other area attractions. There's great shopping close by that we never had time for when we were going to the parks. The kids did visit a water park one day but we dropped them off and explored on our own.

Obviously some things were much easier since we had a car. But, I could be content hanging out at BC all day!

We checked in on Friday for our first stay at WBC. All my family can say is wow! It will be hard to get me back on property if we are always able to get the rates we did for a place like this. Space, cost, and amenities here are great! My DH is even impressed and he usually doesn't have a lot to say about vacay planning except "whatever you want honey as long as it is in the budget."

Hi! I have tried searching the thread for an answer to my question, but no dice. So...Does anyone have any experience using Garden Grocery delivery at the Bonnet Creek resort? Can you say if they have a refrigerated holding area at the resort?

Thanks!

We used Garden Grocer and it went fantastic. We had regular goods, cold goods and frozen goods. GG bagged each separately, put stickers on them with our name and notes to refridge, freeze, or keep them aside normally. The packages (bags and a case of water) were also labeled 1 of 6, 2 of 6, etc so the resort knew how many were in the total order before bringing them to our room.

It did take 2 calls to the front desk to get our groceries delivered but part of that could have been due to our late arrival. Our 1st call was placed around 8:30p on a Sat and the second call was around 9:30. They arrived just a bit after 10:00.

I was super impressed with GG and how the groceries were packaged and handled by them and the resort.

I posted these in another thread that asked specifically about the bus schedules for WBC, and I thought the information might be helpful here. It took me so long to figure out how to post a picture that I thought I might as well make more use of my newfound skill!

These are from our February 11-18 vacation.
