The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread! (pics and reviews)

[Tracey123]

I have read the entire thread and haven't seen the answer to my question. We are looking into staying at Bonnet creek for a week and found and awesome deal on ebay except that I'm debating between a 3br presidential for $599 and a 2 bedrooms DELUXE New Tower 6 - VIP SUITES for less then $300. What is the big difference between a presidential suite and deluxe VIP suite? We honestly don't need 3 bedrooms but if the presidential is much better, I still think that $599 is a steal.

How many days were those prices for?

I just got our building and room assignment!

I am so excited! We did not request any particular room or building because we did not make the reservation (going through a friend with points) - but we got Building 5 and a room facing the pool!

We had to have a roll in shower room and have two teenagers in wheelchairs going on the trip - so we are so excited that we are near the zero entry pool so the girls can swim!

2 more days!!!!!

What is this area? Is it a little children's water area? Are there pictures of this one?

Thanks!

This looks like the pool by bdg 3. Yes there is a small kiddie area. The kid area by the club house is larger and a little better.

Anytime in the first 2 weeks. Before Mother's Day. I have to wait for my DH to get approval for time off work though, so I think you are gonna beat me.

Addressing a few previous posts:


The Presidential Units are gorgeously appointed, but the Deluxe are fine too. The appliances and furniture are nicer in the presidential...if you have the cash and want to spend a few hundred on the upgrade, go nuts.

The Tower 6 Deluxe is sure to be nice, and its practically free at $300, so that would tempt me. I'm a sucker for the bells and whistles of the Presidentials tho, so i'd probably go with that.







As for the Russian satellite photo, yes thats a little kiddie area in front of building 3 pool. I've spent some time at building three, the advantage of it is having a lake, pool AND fireworks view if you make a request.

thank you! 3 bedroom gives us more room but $300 sure is a good price. Now to decide which one to pick... maybe someone on ebay will make the decision for me

I am seeing mixed interior decor.

Not a big fan of the cheap looking floral bedspread. But some people are posting white covers.

Do certain buildings(maybe the older ones 1-3?) have that nasty floral bedspreads and the newer buildings(4-6) have the nice white ones?

sorry no spa.

No worries. Just saves me some money!

There is a desk in the main building that you can buy tickets at. This can be for tix to almost any park. Last year, we used points to buy tix to EPCOT, and tix to Arabian Nights. Its a little of a rip off, but we had cancelled points from the VIP rebate, and you can't bank those points. So, it was use them or lose them.

You just go up to the desk, give them your member number, and they will look you up and tell you how many points you have available to use. You can also use cash if you like.

Hope that helps.

Does that mean I ahve to wait till IO get there (the day before I want to go to the parks) to buy tix?

Building 4 had the white covers on the beds last week, and flat screen tvs. There were some recent photos going around of old tv's in rooms. That is where I draw the line LOL

Thanks.

Last week building 7 was done being built (looks nice) but they are still working on the inside. The pool was being dug out.

 

[MommyPoppins]

There is a building 7 too? I thought the last building was a hotel?

 

[maroo]

how easy is it to set up a router at the resort?

Internet is free, right?

And they don't care if I set up a router?

Are they adding a hotel to the resort? I guess I assumed it was also timeshare.
