When you reply, there is a gray area above the white box that you type in. In the gray area is a yellow thing that looks like a picture. I think if you click on it it will allow you to insert an image.

To clarify this, it will allow you to insert a LINK to your image. You must first upload your images to a site. Photobucket is a free, easy site to use. Load your images there. Each image will have a links below them. You want to use the ones with the square brackets around the link [ ] . If you copy and paste these links, you can just paste them right into your reply, without clicking the little image picture for the box.

We're here now. It's great. We are in a 2 bedroom in Tower 4. I was really surprised how thick the woods and trees are surrounding the property - I guess I expected bare and sterile, but it's really wooded and pretty back in here. All the employees have been super nice. I'm very impressed with Wyndham Bonnet Creek - very glad we bought those resale Wyndham points back in December.

We just got back today from Florida and stayed at BC and it was hands down the nicest place we have ever ever stayed. We cannot wait to go back. We booked through Ken. Through reading this thread, I called myself one week before we arrived and requested Building 5, fireworks view. We were room 1380 and I would request it again. Our room was next to the housekeeping room, then the trash shoot, and on the end of the building, so no neighbors. We never checked out any other pools. We have 4 kids ages 10, 8, 6, and 4 and we loved the zero depth entry pool, lazy river and hot tub. Some days the hot tub wasn't very warm but it was the only complaint I had the entire week.

We have stayed at Beach Club Villas before and this was comparable in size, but way nicer. The location was just amazing....it took us a couple minutes to get anywhere at Disney. Thanks so much for this thread, we saved a bundle and we were all sad to leave such a gorgeous place!!

Does anyone who has stayed in this room 1380 have pictures of the view. Our last trip we were in building 2 facing the water with the fireworks view, but I am really curious about this room. I would love to see both Disney and Epcot. I you have any pics, I would greatly appreciate itl.

I've read a couple posts about restaurants being built or opening sometime in 2010. Are there any updates or information on the types of restaurants that are available (or will be by October 2010)? Is it mainly counter service with burgers/sandwiches, or will there be a sit-down type restaurant available here?

I plan to book Bonnet Creek through Ken for my September vacation. Many posts here have recommended waiting until the 60 day mark for a cheaper price. But in looking at Ken's prices, the 60 price is the same as the September price. Is there a benefit to waiting? Will the price go below $120 for a 2 bedroom after July for a September booking?

At the 60 day mark, lots of people start selling the reservations on eBay and other places at prices that are $20-$40 cheaper than $120 a night. They also don't charge "guest confirmation fees" If cost is a concern for you, shop around and negotiate. My goal during that time would be to pay around $80 a night. But that's just me. You should do what makes you comfortable.

We're considering the first week of March next year, does that fall into a high season? I have a friend with RCI ownership, and she's willing to trade a week for us for just the trade fee, but nothing has come up searching through RCI yet. I guess it's best to just keep checking?

Lets Try Again!!!

Ok, lets see if this works.

View of Disney from Building 5 Room 1380

Typhoon Lagoon (I think)

Swan and Dolphin

Epcot with MK in the distance

Downtown Disney

Cinderella's Castle (300mm zoom)

I have tons more. I took almost 1200 pics on vacation, and I'd guess 150-200 of Bonnet Creek itself!

Ok, here's some more. I'll start with interior pics. This is a 2 bedroom unit.

Sorry I didn't add labels. Its late, and I want to get the outside pics in too.

Joe, Great pictures! Thanks so much. We are planning a Disney trip for July 2011 and are really thinking about staying there. It looks so nice.

Thanks for the pics, Joe! We are booked for Bonnet Creek in Oct/Nov this year. We are hoping to NOT have a car. Is that going to be feasible?
