[4Seasons]

Does anybody have any new resort pics?? Thanks!

Yippee!! I can't believe it! We just got the last 4 nights of our trip made @Bonnet Creek. When we stayed there a few years back, we didn't get to spend much time there at all so now, since we'll be in Orlando for 12 days, we're doing all our park stuff at the beginning so we can really enjoy all this resort has to offer. I just wanted to share my excitement and I knew you'd all understand!!

Whooo Hoo!!! Thanks 4Seasons! I look forward to seeing your pictures and hearing your review!

Anyone know if they have complimentary coffee like in the lobby in the mornings? If not, is there some place there to buy coffee? Also, is there shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms?

I'm not sure about the coffee since we are not coffee drinkers but yes, there is shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soap in the bathrooms. If you run out, just call the front desk (or stop by) and they will give you more.

Why? You can bring your own coffee and brew it in the condo. And there are two complimentary packets of coffee in the condo which you can use.

Woohooo!!! We do understand, and me and banana are excited for you too!

The market in the lobby has some Starbucks products. Don't expect anything too complicated, but you can definitely get a decent coffee for a ridiculous fee.

I have some BC news. Ken just emailed me and said he was able to rebook our week at a lower price. Apparently, if he can book a cancelled week, he gets it for less points. So I am getting a 2-bedroom for 7 nights for $630. Isn't that freakin' awesome!?!?

Congrats Vettechick! It's always great when you save more money!! Up here March break is starting and I am re-thinking our decision to buy more points off of ebay. My DH keeps saying- short term pain for long term gain! But ugh!!!!! I am itching to go away! Make sure that you take lots of pics and post them on here so I can live vicariously through your trip to BC!!!!

About to call Ken- how do you pay him? Do you send a check or call Bonnet Creek directly with Credit card info?

 

[wdw-ocd]

We paid Ken through PayPal. It's secure and fast.

 

[leight]

thanks- we use my husband's credit card for vacation costs- for points reasons. Would you know if I can I add his card to my paypal acct?

 

[wdw-ocd]

I'm not sure as we just have the one PayPal account under dh's name with dh's creditcard. It might be just as easy to try to add the credit card you want to use and see if PayPal accepts it.

Have fun planning your trip!

Isn't that wonderful?? He did the same for us and we are paying $900 for 9 nights in a 2-bedroom villa. $100 per night!!! I am floored (and more than a little excited)! 6 weeks to go!!

 

[leight]

Woohoo! I am booking my trip to BC as well! Ken is also giving us a great deal during spring break for a 2 bedroom 4 nite for $400! Will work well for us! Very excited.

Sammy, congratulations! What a great deal! We will be there in 4 weeks.

Hey love this thread we will be checking in on March 28 into a 2 bedroom. I will have 2 teenage girls with me, so can anyone tell me where the ethernet hookups are in the unit and if there is more than one. I have cords already. I don't want to do wireless as my router is a modem/wireless router all in one.

The only one I know of is at the kitchen's bar at the phone. Very easy to access and hook up your computer. I do believe they have cords there though (in case you forget yours!).

 

[leight]

silly question- but can anyone provide more info on the pots/pans situation? Is there a colander? Pasta pot? Tryng to save money by going to BC and since we check in on sunday I thought I can save dinner $ by sticking to our traditional Italian dinner of pasta on sundays. I'm travelling from the tampa area so I'll be bringing my own sauce, meatballs etc and can easily bring pots/collander if needed but figured I'd ask. Thanks!

We are considering Bonnet Creek for our next trip. Do you know if the rooms have vacuum cleaners. Also, when renting through Ken is there housekeeping during your stay?

Thanks!

There is no housekeeping. There should be a vacuum cleaner in the room.

I love Bonnet Creek as well. I own so I rent out my points to others and highly recommend it!

I'm going in June!
