The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread part2

[trishwal]

I'm so excited that your vacation starts tomorrow, Disneyforus. !!!! And thanks again for managing the Pay it Forward bins... this trip will be bittersweet for us; bitter because we'll be doing it "right" and only have 6 days at WBC, 3 at Disney parks... SWEET because I've convinced our parents to take all 14 us (my siblings, their spouses and all our children) to WDW NEXT summer - wish we could stay at WBC but a 4 bedroom will only be big enough if we make all the kids sleep on blow up beds because the adults will want our privacy.

It's SOOOOO much better than the cruise from Galveston that they were thinking about doing.

Have a Wonderfully Magic time!

Also for those who have been there, do you feel that you stay completely in the "Disney Bubble?" As in, no junkie strip mall views, billboards, souvenir shops, and other overgrowth that interrupts the Magic? If so, do you also stay in the bubble between the resort and Downtown Disney? Thanks, hope to be checking in in 21 days (still waiting for my Vacation Strategy confirmation!).

You never leave the world of purple signs so yes you are still contained in the bubble. If you take a right out of the WBC access road and go towards DTD, once you drive past DTD you end up in the land of hotels on the way to Crossroads (shopping mall) but if you never drive past DTD you won't see that. Going straight or taking a left out of the entry road you are completely contained in the Disney bubble.

Thanks Trishwal! Sounds like a fun time next summer. Could you rent 2, 2 bedrooms and get them near each other and have that help with the privacy? I've never been in a 4 BR, but the room layout pictures look massive...very roomy..but again, it only has so many beds.

We went last year with my brothers family, so we had 10 of us in a 3 Bedroom...Adult couples had their own rooms and the kids shared the 3rd bedroom and pullout couch. It worked out pretty well, especially because they were all so tired that they slept like the dead.

Ahhhhh!! I want this room! Great view -- What Tower/floor are you in? Is the room as spectacular as the view??

That actually looks to be the "elevator view" for Tower 5. It looks too centered on the building (and you can see the balconies on either side) for it to actually be a room.


the pool/lazy river below is that one at Tower 5.

actually that was taken from the hall window next to the elevator.
this was from our stay in April 2011 and our view wasn't great

but the room was awesome. we were in a 3 bedroom. I have tons of pics I can post if you like. we were in building 5 I believe.
we went back in May of 2011 and were in building 6 I think. the views from there were awesome. we were directly over the pool and we spent many evenings on the balcony just enjoying the view.
