The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

So close to booking but still trying to decide if the $25 extra per night is worth it to upgrade to a Presidential Suite. I really don't think we will be spending that much time in the room except to sleep and a short mid-day break (which will likely be spent at the pools anyway).

My biggest fears are parking and having to walk a mile to our room and having a good quality bed for DH .. he likes his sleep .. have to have him rested to keep up with us all day. LOL

Does anyone know in the 2 bedroom deluxes if there is an outlet / nightstand next to the king bed? I have a CPAP mahcine that I need to plug in. Thanks!

We had outlets behind each nightstand.

Planning a trip to BC this Novemeber due largely in part to the glowing reviews from all of you disboard members. Very excited to get some space for our family of 5 and it will be the first time we stay off property.

Quick question about tower selection...I was told 6 is the newest but consists of all Presidential Suites....true or false?

And is tower 5 the "ideal" choice for a fireworks view room or does 6 also offer that same luxury?

TIA Again.

Tower 6 doesn't really offer any fireworks views. There may be a few rooms that if you look just the right way at an angle off your balcony you can sneak a peek, but it's not the full view that most of the other towers get to enjoy.

How was the A/C? I've heard mixed reviews..however I requested building 5..not 3..so it may be different anyways.

It was fine. Traveled with another couple and I couldn't stay in their room it was so cold. They keep it on 65. Our unit would shut off with no movement but I never felt the need to over ride as it wasn't bad anyway and cooled totally down with in literally a couple of minutes of getting in from the park. I did have the over ride procedure I got from here just in case. Never needed it.

The extra $25 per night is a tough a tough call. We were in building 3 that has not been renovated but it was still very nice. No flat panel tvs or granite counter tops but come on?!? I think I would probably pay an extra $175 for a week to have a little larger room and a little better fireworks view. But 6th floor of building 3 was pretty sweet.

Concerning the parking....I think the worst WBC parking would be about equal to the best onsite parking. Some of the onside properties have a HUGE walk. At WBC you will always be parked right outside of your building.

My DH also has a CPAP and there was an outlet plus plenty of room on the nightstand for it. In fact, it's a better set up than we have at home!

Tower 6 is NOT all presidentials. Its deluxe rooms do have granite countertops, but white appliances, not stainless.

Tower 6 is the only tower with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms presidentials.

4 bedroom presidentials can be found throughout the resort.

One thing Id have wished we'd brought, was a night light to put in the kids bathroom. I have several who will get up during the night to go, and are pretty young (6) and that would have made them feel better to have a small light in there. Im against leaving a full light on with the door slightly closed...theyve managed to run into it before

We have only ever stayed on-site, so I'm curious about something. We buy our tickets from Undercover Tourist, and they come in the mail as the paper tickets, but when we check in at our on-site resorts, they transfer those tickets onto our Keys to the Kingodom Cards. Since WBC is off-site, do they do the Keys to the Kingdom Cards? Will we have to use the paper tickets?

Because BC is not a Disney Resort, you will not have a Key to the World Card to add your tickets to....you will have a Key to Bonnet Creek Card. and your paper tickets!

Thank you!! First time I'm traveling with it and hadn't really thought about it until someone mentioned they didn't have power to the bedroom outlets during their stay -- got me to thinking if their would be any convenient outlets (hopefully with power ) for the CPAP.

How lng does it usually take vac strategy to respond? I asked for a quote for 2 nights and got an automatic reply saying they will email me later. Haven't heard anything and it has been several days. We wanted to try it for a couple of nights and if we like it, book a week in july. Guess they will lose my business if thet don't respond to this request.

I sent two requests and got both back the same day...within a few hours actually. I also got two "non-automated" responses within 1 day of sending. This is my first time dealing with them and I am VERY happy with the response time and thoughtful responses!

We put down our deposit for a 2br for 9 nights in October for $913...GREAT deal! Were going to stay @ Art of Animation resort which would have been $290 MORE and over 1,000 LESS square footage! Not even a mini-fridge. The room @ AoA was like 247sq ft and the 2br @ BC is over 1200sqft. Quite a no-brainer!

I've read nothing but great reviews about Vacation Strategy, and so far I agree

Just got off the phone with BC and put in my fireworks view request *crossing my fingers*... only 12 days till we check in there

While the dining at the resort is quick service or bar service, I found this link which has photos and menus of everything by Escudos....which is the building 4 pool bar/restaurant. Though there is a picture of it here... http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=44056102&highlight=menu#post44056102

Is the pirate ship pool serving any food? Just curious.
