How long does it usually take to hear back from Ken?[/QUOTE

In the 4 times I emailed him, 3 times he got back to me within a day and once it took about 4 days because he was out of town. I think he responds as soon as he can.

How big is the master bedroom? Is there room to throw one of the double mattresses on the floor in there? DS is only 2.5 and I don't think he'll sleep well in a room by himself. We were going to bring the air mattress, but I don't really want to lug another bag if I don't have to. Any suggestions?? Even if I just had a crib mattress to throw on the floor, but they probably don't have cribs there do they?

We got back Sunday from a 7 night stay, I want to say this place is Great! No complaints whatsoever. One thing I noticed is, don't underestimate the pirate slide, just because it doesn't empty into a pool doesn't mean u won't get wet. In fact, most people come out completely submerged under the water that it empties out into. Just something to keep in mind with small children. The grills are wonderful, too, so plan on grilling a few times. I only used the shuttle one time to MK and it was no problem at all, got us there fast. Mostly we drove, u really r just a few min from everything. We found that we loved BC, and w already have ressies to return in Aug. Can't wait!

No, there is nowhere near the room to do that. The king bed is pretty big. Maybe you can lay him on one end?

They have Pack n plays. Will your 2.5 year old sleep in one? We put two of them in the 2nd bedroom and there was still room to move around.

Most kids are so tired after a day at Disney, they conk out very easily.

Definately not enough room for the double mattress on the floor.... or even a twin for that matter.


Another idea for you might be to utilize the sofa-bed for him and just leave the master bedroom door open. The sofabed is right outside the master bedroom, so maybe if he has a problem with being alone the proximity and knowing that "mommy and daddy are just thru that door" might be enough to calm his nerves.

Does anyone know what the requirements are for going down the waterslides? Is there a height requirement? Swimming ability required?

Thanks! 9 more days!!!

You have to be able to swim from the end of the slide to the side of the pool. Mom's and Dad's can't "catch" at the bottom, no life jackets on the slides. And you have to be 48 inches.

Do you have to be 48" for the pirate slide too?

For those of you who did not make a view/room request, what rooms did you actually get? I guess I am asking what is my worst case scenerio if I do not request?

Just make your request when you check in and they will tell you what room options are available. I have yet to see any evidence that calling ahead is any more effective.

For me, the worst room to get would be on the ground level next to the mini golf, as the players are very close to the building.

I know this is in the thread somewhere, but couldn't find it. What days are you able to check in/check out at BC? Sat & Sun only ???

When our dd got too big for a pack & play, we just had her sleep in the king bed with us. It is a really large bed and honestly, we were all so tired that we did not have a problem sleeping. At 2.5, I did not want her in a separate room in a strange place. Just a thought.

Hi Everyone

We are considering spending 3 nights at Bonnet Creek in June following a cruise. We want to spend one day at Universal to visit WWHP for the kids (16,14,12 & 3) Anyway these board are wonderful! I have been scanning the pages trying to find a recent property map. My 3 year old is running out of patience! lol....Could someone direct me to a recent map of the property. I would like to be able to see the buildings and what they are next to (pools and what types....like zero entry, kiddie etc, playgrounds, food) Also knowing the ages of the kids...if anyone has any suggestions? Im thinking catering to the 3 year old might be best; since our older kids can go off on their own a bit?

Also what is the best way to make a request? Do all upper rooms have balconies? If you just give me some direction as to where to find the info I should be ok....

 

[Rwsm2011]

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I didn't figure there would be room for a mattress on the floor, but thought I'd ask. We'll either do the sofa bed or just throw him in bed with us I think. And hope he sleeps!!

The map on the front page is pretty much the only map on this thread. Everything on it except the hotel is now complete. I think the lazy river pool at tower 4-5 is zero entry. I think the pool at tower 6 is also. The childs water area is at the main building pool, which is also a lazy river and it's salt water. Not sure about zero entry. All rooms have balconies.

For a 1-week stay, you must check-in AND check-out on a Fri, Sat or Sun. For a 3-day or 4-day stay, you must check-in OR check-out on a Fri, Sat or Sun.

So, for a 4-day stay you could check-in on Sunday and check-out on Thursday. Or, you could check-in on Monday and check-out on Friday. The Sunday check-in and the Friday check-out would satisfy the Wyndham Resorts check-in and check-out policies.
