The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

Trying to decide whether to request building 2 or building 3 w/fireworks view.
Any suggestions?
Did the people who stayed in building 3 take the main building shuttle or the building 6 shuttle.

Do they provide coffee in the rooms or should I bring some?

Does it have to be a credit card or can it be a debit card?

We didn't put anything on file when we were there. They asked us if we wanted to, I asked what for, and they said so room service could direct bill the room. I let them know we had no plans for ordering in and he said he didn't need anything then.

We did end up ordering room service one night but paid in advance by cc via the phone so it never was in issue for us.

We usually took tower 6 for the bus as it was a easy walk. Occasionally we drove down to tower 1 and took that one, but only if we had other reasons to be at tower 1. They do give you a little coffee, but if you drink some everyday like me and my hubby you will want to bring your own.

Thanks!
So yall had a car but still used WBC shuttle?
That's a good sign I guess. Any issues at all with the shuttle service?

We did not want to pay the $14 a day for parking, and even though we were there during Spring Break which is crazy busy, the shuttles were good, never had to wait for a second bus. We did drive into DTD one morning and shop and then take that bus into Port Orleans and then a Disney bus to our park.

Can you come and go as you please on the bus or is there a "window" of time you have to go to the park and another time to come back? I'd like to take the bus, but we like to take a break in the afternoon and don't want to get stuck with no bus going back in the afternoon.

There is one set of times for pick ups at the towers, going to the parks, and then a set of times for pick ups coming back.....you do have to pay attention to those, as some had an hour or two between pick ups. Top tip that a bus drive told us, if you are going to EPCOT just take the monorail from MK....and same coming back, much quicker as Epcot is the second pick up Also they have more pick ups at MK then Epcot. Not to mention where the monorail will drop you off at Epcot is a heck of a lot closer then the bus!

$14 for parking/ Were you in the Wyndham Grand Hotel?

That's the cost of parking at the WDW parks. $14 for each park per day you go. Taking the bus saves that cost each day.

Yes, of course. I read your post the wrong way.

We just returned from a 7 day stay at Bonnet Creek and absolutely loved the resort. It was clean, family friendly and convenient to all the parks. We rented a car because we came back in the afternoons to swim/relax with our little ones (age 6 and 4) and then went back to the parks in the evenings. We were lucky enough that my ILs are owners through Wyndham and gave us the week. Of course now we want to go back and stay at Bonnet Creek again in the fall. Can someone please give me contact info for Vacation Strategy? I don't feel right asking my ILs to use more of their points so we're looking to book on our own. Thanks!

Where do you get room service from?

In the binder that was left on the table in our room there were menus for the restaurants at BC. We ordered from the one that had pizzas and subs (can't recall the name now) and it took them about 40 minutes to deliver. Pizza was so/so, meatball sub was decent, cinnamon sticks while we love them went uneaten because they were just blah.

Thanks, dizneechic. Guess we'll stick with cooking in or going out...

Does anybody have a recent shuttle schedule? Or can anyone tell me if they still run a shuttle to DTD and if so, what time the last one leaves DTD to come back? Trying to plan some DTD activities.... Thanks!

LisaCat, on page 124, post 1860, there's a picture of the shuttle schedule in effect during our trip in February, the week before school vacation. Others have since said it pretty much agreed with the schedule when they were there. I think they may add some buses in busier times, but the schedule posted seems to be fairly standard for the less busy times. Hope it helps.
