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

I just think it probably tends to get busier at night and maybe more roudy because it has the restaurant next door where you can buy drinks and bring them to the pool. It's harder to do that at the pool at the main bldg, so for anyone seeking a quieter night, just make the couple minute walk to the other pool. Hubby and I had the pool and hot tub at the main building to ourselves, I think the Thursday night we were there. It was wonderful!

Is there a more up-to-date resort map?

The best map is on p.59, post #873 on this thread. It has both building names and numbers.

Playground question:

I see on the map on page 1 that there is a "(Future) Playground" listed very near the pool by Bldg 5. Is there in fact a playground there? I can't recall from my visit in January.

We are trying to decide which building to request. We are going in November; my husband and myself, my mom, and my two boys, ages 3 and 4. We had a fireworks view in bldg 5 last time, but I think we would enjoy a lake/pool view better, and I see that bldg 1 has a playground right there. Any input greatly appreciated.

I don't remember a playground near building 5. The only one I remember is over by building one.

We were there last week also. 3 bedroom Tower 5 floor 13 - we had a partial view of EPCOT, but could not see their fireworks. But we could see MK fireworks - which we enjoyed. Never heard any noise. We used the shuttle service every day to the parks. The only negative is the limited number of pick ups in the afternoon. I kept the schedule with me and we planned accordingly, so no big problem.

We stayed in a one bedroom presidential last month and it was fantastic! You will love it.

I am here now.... So if anyone has any questions or would like me to find out anything for them just let me know!!

I'm staying in the newest tower #6 in a 2BR with a pool view. I took a ton of picture (yes...again!) and will prob not post them until I get back home from vacation.

This tower has its own front desk which is pretty cool (like of you loose your key or forget it, but you still check in at the main building)

My husband is attending a conference in November and I booked BC for him and his travel buddies. Are you able to see any of the disney fireworks?
Thanks, and enjoy your trip

Hi all!
Our 60 day mark to check-in is this Sunday. We booked through Ken. Do I need to email him and ask him on Sunday if he is able to re-book or does he do this automatically??
Thanks

He re-booked our reservation for us and I didn't even ask him too. I got an e-mail from him saying he re-booked at $20 less per night. Best e-mail I got in awhile, saved us $180.

We just got back today from a week at BC. We were in Tower 5, 12th floor, requested fireworks view. We looked straight down at the parking lot/garage. To the right we could see most of Downtown Disney and some of Typhoon Lagoon. Just to the left we could see most of Epcot. Far in the distance we could see the Contemporary Resort and the castle. We had a pretty good view of Illuminations at Epcot. We could see all the fireworks, the lasers, watch the World Showcase buildings light up, and even some of the flames from the water part of the show. We could also see Wishes or Hallowishes each night from Magic Kingdom. Could hear it if the wind was blowing the right way. Neither show was the same as being there, but since we were only in the parks for fireworks 2 nights out of 7, it was a nice trade off.

I found a deal for the 2 Bed room deluxe at $525 from a member of Bonett. sounds to good to be true but he checks out. may book on Monday. I wanted the presidential but it all reserved, unless I wanted to pay dou7ble and get a 4 bedroom presidential; I just may do it! (with the money I am saving from staying at a DVC villa!

What is the closest grocery store to the resort?

 

[pmanko]

What is the closest grocery store to the resort?

i understand it to be Winn Dixie; there is also a Wal-mart near by too.

Correct. Wynn Dixie on 535 is as close as they come (except for Goodings in the Crossroads but unfortunately that store is NOT recommended anymore). The WD is another 1/4 mile away. 3 more miles down Palm Parkway/Turkey Lake for Super Walmart (very nice one by the way).

Just wondering, is there a tv in the second bedroom of the two-unit condo? And how is the pull-out sofa for comfort (or comfort for a 16-year old boy)?

Staying there in March!! Very excited!!

1. There are 3 TVs in the room, one in each bedroom and one in the living room.

2. A 16-year-old boy can sleep anywhere and be comfortable. He's lucky he gets a nice sofa bed!

 

[britt54311]

I also would like to ask how comfortable the sofa bed is. Would it be comfortable for 2 adults to sleep on? Thanks

Hi...I've read most of the 113 pages and not sure if this topic was covered. Can you bring small coolers to the pool area for kid snacks/drinks?

Also can you get two bedroom suites in the main building?

Do the shuttles pick up at the main building? I was thinking about building 5, but getting a little worried with reviews stating that the lazy river was rowdy. I'd rather not be in that type of atmosphere with my kids.

Thanks for your help!!
