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

[ohionola]

My family is staying at BC in April. I read on a travel review site that the free disney shuttle that BC offers does not allow strollers. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? If it is, is it set in stone? Also will the shuttle take you to down town disney or only the parks? We are not interested in a rental car. Thanks.

I don't think Bonnet creek has a shuttle does it? When we were there we used our car, but I didn't remember seeing shuttles.

 

[ohionola]

It has one, but from what I heard it is not very good and usually crowded.

We just rented a 2 bedroom unit from Ken Price this morning!

Renting from Ken was so quick and easy and he's sooooo nice!

Now, if I could only stop doing my happy dance long enough to start packing!!!

Yes, I thought it'd be a long shot but I contacted Ken last night and everything was all set by the morning! He's great to work with!

My family of 5 is considering this resort. Does it have wifi? If so, is it free. We are trying to decide between here of VWL. The price differences (even with a 40% pin) is huge!

BC does have a shuttle, but I am not sure about the stroller part. Good question. I always assumed yes.

It is a huge difference! It does have free Internet, but not wifi to my knowledge. If wifi is important to you, I'd bring a router and make your own.

We stayed at BC for the first time last June and were blown away at how nice the resort was! We had a 2br suite and the rooms were amazing. We also couldn't believe how nice the many pools and lazy rivers were and were so thankful for them after I got really sick and couldn't go to the parks. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

We stayed in Bldg 3 - Torre del Mar and were the last room on the top floor. I called about two weeks before our trip and requested a "lake and fireworks view" and that is just what we got! We were able to see the Epcot fireworks just to our left every night! What is the status of the two new buildings b/w Bldg 3 and Bldg 5? We're going back in May and I was wondering if they were going to be opened then.

We used the resort shuttle and we never had any problems with it.

Thanks for posting the Spring schedule! We are going next week and are SO excited!
I also just spoke to someone at the resort about strollers on the shuttle, she said that they'll let "small" ones on (guessing she means umbrella strollers), but not "big" ones! I'm wondering what that means for my Maclaren twin??

I have an email into Ken.

In the meantime, is there a place where you can store food before check-in? We always do a grocery store run on the way in from the airport but often get there before the room's ready. At disney, they always are able to store our things.

We also ship packages to ourselves of things like coffee, raingear etc. and pick that up at check-in. Can we do that at BC?

 

[Cdn Gal]

Yes they do! They have a storage place at the front of the resort (main building) where they can store your stuff. But it won't be refrigerated. Just in an air conditioned area. We too will have groceries and stuff with us so that is where we are dropping everything off.

Which building is near the new pool? Thanks!

 

[Brian Noble]

Just ask for "near the Escudos pool."

 

[Ashleybs]

Just ask for "near the Escudos pool."

I'm looking at the map and am trying to figure out which pool this is - what building is it by?

 

[HeatherC]

Ashely: Just sent you a PM. Escudos is building 5. That is where we stayed. Great location!

 

[Brian Noble]

I forget the numbers. I think it is between five and six.

In general, I always ask for "what" I want, rather than "where". That way, if the specific location isn't available, the person doing room assignments can make a good second choice for me.

 

[Cdn Gal]

The countdown is on- 5 1/2 months!!! I just have to get through one more set of report cards! and 1 more course! Last time we were in building 5 but the pool was not completed. I am going to ask if we can stay there again, I think it would be beautiful!
