The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

[Al and Kate's Mom]

After reading through most of this thread, decided to book with Ken and Denice Price - they are fabulous! Has anyone ever stayed in unit 1919? Thanks!

 

[GraceLuvsWDW]

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!

I am paying $1600 for a 4BR Pres for 7 nights in June.

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.

Thanks Jaysmom! Just going to put more tag words in case anyone else is searching for this info. Shuttle bus schedule Bonnet Creek

Yeah! just booked our Aug trip!!! So now we need to decide what building to request. Last year we had bldg 4 and it was great.

Two questions....

First, Have any of the buildings been rennovated recently? I want to say that I heard 1-3. But can't remember or find it. Bldg 3 might be interesting as it has a lake and firework view but I like the atmosphere on the other side of the lake better.

Second, Is the tower one bus stop still at the front door of the main bldg or is it over by bldg 1? When we were there last spring it was at the main entrance but they were building a stop closer to bldg 1.

Thanks for your help.

Ok I decided to just call wyndham and ask Here is what I found out...

Bldgs 1-2 were rennovated in the last 2 mo. Bldg 3 is coming soon. There are some deluxe rooms in bldg 6.

The two bus stops are by bldg 6 and next to bldg 1. Not in front of the main bldg. any more.

Do any of you Wyndham owners know how many points it takes to trade for MK tickets? We did this a couple of years ago, but I can't remember.

We're booked for WBC in May. In fact we just got an upgrade from a 2BR Deluxe to a 2BR Presidential! This excites me! lol

Here are the questions I still have, hopefully someone can answer them.

1. Jacuzzi tubs. Are they in all the rooms or only some room types? We're just a family of 3 and would fit in a one bedroom or two bedroom, but I really would like a jacuzzi for my osteoarthritis.

2. Lazy River Is there one -- between blds 4 and 6? Or, are there two? I've seen different posts saying both things!

3. Parking distance to room. How close is it from parking to your room? We'll be renting a car and what I'm leaning to a home rental on is that I park, and walk in to my space. I'd like to know how much of a hike it is at BC. I won't know how ambulatory I'll be until the week before the vacation. My flair-ups have no consistancy. Of course, if it's REALLY bad, I'll be renting an ECV and that will be a non-issue. :/ But I'd rather not be on ECV with the family having to walk.

A couple of questions.

1. I hear people talking about deluxe and presidential rooms; what are the difference?

2. We're looking to go at the end of Jan. beginning of Feb, maybe the second week of Feb. I wasn't planning on this trip so I didn't pay attention to the weather at that time of year. Is it warm enough to enjoy the pool and lazy river at that time of year?

3. I see from the pictures there is mini golf. Is there an additional charge for that?

 

[nancy155]

Well we (my son and I) decided to put in a request for another week in November during his Thanksgiving break! I hope we get a week exchanged for this time period. Too bad we cannot go the week before or after Thanksgiving as they are wide open those weeks. Oh well keeping my fingers crossed as I would love to stay at WBC again, if not there are other options available that week, just not my favorites!

I am not sure about one bdrm but 2 and up have jacuzzis

2. Lazy River Is there one -- between blds 4 and 6? Or, are there two? I've seen different posts saying both things!

There are two lazy rivers, one at bldg 5 and one at the main bldg.

3. Parking distance to room. How close is it from parking to your room? We'll be renting a car and what I'm leaning to a home rental on is that I park, and walk in to my space.

This I can't comment on other then bldg 4 had a ramp but it was not too bad of a walk

A couple of questions.

1. I hear people talking about deluxe and presidential rooms; what are the difference?

Presidential rooms have upgraded furnishings...granite counters, stainless stee ect.2.

We're looking to go at the end of Jan. beginning of Feb, maybe the second week of Feb. I wasn't planning on this trip so I didn't pay attention to the weather at that time of year. Is it warm enough to enjoy the pool and lazy river at that time of year?

Yes, No and both. One day you can swim then next you may be in a winter coat. You just never know what you will get that time of year.One year we were out buying gloves it was so cold and a couple of days later we were in shorts and swimming. That said there are virtually no crowds!
3. I see from the pictures there is mini golf. Is there an additional charge for that?

No extra charge for mini-golf

 

[OnlyDisney]

Question about the lazy river. Our kids would be 5 and 3 1/2 when we go. Do they only have the tubes to float on? Can you bring something else for the kids to float on?

WOW! What a joke. The cost figuring my maintenance fee at Star Island would make the ticket $250!
When I was at Bonnet Creek in December a sales weasel tried to sell me more points (I have 49,000 bought for $100 on ebay)-I think 63,000 for $13,000--so I could use them to pay for tickets and airfare. I don't think so.

There are jacuzzi tubs in the one bedroom. Lazy river at Bldg 5 & main bldg. Bldg 4 & 5 are pretty much the same building. We never had to walk far to get to our car, if you have a problem someone could drop you off at the door.

We leave for our trip is 29 days!!!


I can't wait. I've been planning our first stay at the WBC for over a year now and it is almost here. After getting out Direct Air flights canceled last week I was pretty panicked about the whole trip. But now I have new flights booked and my rental car changed over to MCO. We almost all set and I've begun packing. Woot!!

Thank you everyone for your insights into this resort. I can't wait to see it for myself!

Question about the lazy river. Our kids would be 5 and 3 1/2 when we go. Do they only have the tubes to float on? Can you bring something else for the kids to float on?

They only provide the yellow tubes. You can take your own floats if you choose. My boys are 4 and 5. My 4 year old wore his water wings. My 5 year old could easily touch in the lazy river. He only wanted to use the yellow tube like the big kids.

 

[gonzalesphd]

We have decided to not tour a park on the first day in Orlando. We are staying at WBC, and I really want a spa day. Where is the closest Spa?

Thanks!

 

[GraceLuvsWDW]

The new hotel Wyndham Grand (attached to WBC) has a Spa. The Waldorf Astoria (just down the street) also has a spa.
