Hi everybody.

Does anybody know if all of the units have flatscreen tv's? If not all, which buildings are newer or newly remodeled that would have the flatscreens? Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody.

Does anybody know if all of the units have flatscreen tv's? If not all, which buildings are newer or newly remodeled that would have the flatscreens? Thanks in advance!

In Aug 2008, we were in building #1 (Torre de la Tierra). Our 2-BR unit did not have a flatscreen TV.

We had flatscreens in our 2 bedroom for our last 2 stays. We stayed in the buildings to the left of where you check in. While the TVs are flat, I think the TV signal is just digital, not HD. Not that I spent much time watching TV.

Lillygater - Yes - there is a corkscrew in the kitchen.

We are also in Building #1 - 3 tvs - no flat screen tvs.

We are enjoying Building #1. Great lakeview and a close walk to the main pool/activity center. We just got back from playing mini golf (FREE! - checkout equipment for 2 hours). DH & DS are playing a game of pool (FREE!)before we head out for some dinner.

Up tomorrow is MK. Yahoo!

Blender and corkscrew...the most important items you need on any vacation!

Hey lillygator!!

 

[DisneyCrazyMom22]

Packing....I will be there tomorrow!!! I have a couple quick questions.

Is there a hair blowdryer and is it a little hotel one or a regular size one?

Is there shampoo and conditioner?

Do we need to buy coffee for the coffee maker or do they provide it and if so is it any good?

Thanks--so excited!!!

Hi Gang,

My family of 4 and my brother's family of 4 are going 11-13 to 11-20. We booked a presidential suite through Ken Price. He is a very nice guy, and seems very concerned with providing people with an enjoyable stay. Love this thread! Thank you Vette girl for starting it. Hope to see some of you there!

Hi all! My family of 4 will be here in May and not planning to get a car. I'm getting a little nervous about relying on the shuttle for transportation as we have two small children and a stroller is a must. I called BC and they assured me that as long as the stroller folds we can take it on the shuttle. However, I received a copy of the shuttle schedule and it clearly states no strollers allowed. Anyone have any experience with taking a stroller on the shuttle?

On another note, we booked through Ken Price and he is amazing. Very nice, professional, and customer service oriented. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

There is a hair dryer and it is just like the ones at hotels- hooked to the wall.

There are sample size shampoos/conditioners in each of the bathrooms. It is certainly not enough for a week.

I don't drink coffee but I think there was just enough supplies to brew 1 or 2 pots.

Enjoy your trip- we'll be there on April 25th for our 3rd time.

We stayed in the presidential suite a year ago and it was amazing! It's perfect for 2 families b/c you each have your own space at each end of the unit. The balcony was amazing and we spent alot of time out their in the evenings.

We were there 2 weeks ago. We miss it alot!!! Vacation time flies way too fast.

But, if you need more coffee or dish soap, shampoo etc. Just call down and they will provide more and I did hear you could pick stuff up a the Recreation desk. Have fun! You will absolutely love it there!

 

[hsmamato2]

do all of you here own points for a timeshare,or do you pay cash for nights here? If you do own timeshare here, is it RCI,or another timeshare?
if it is RCI how do you plan for a trip here? how far in advance must you plan?
thanks

Hello Everyone,

I've been lurking here for a couple of months. I am a BC owner, and I am finally going to use my timeshare in 3 weeks. We have a 2 bedroom for 5 people.

My DW brought up an interesting question tonight that I didn't find the answer to here (and EVERY answer is here). If you buy something in the parks, with the Mighty Rat send it back to BC? I know they do that for the Disney hotels, but how about something like BC that is practically across the street? Has anyone had anything sent back to BC. I'd rather not lug all the junk the kids buy in the parks!

Thanks

Joe

Hi there fellow BC owner! In my experience, no there is no service provided by the parks to send your purchases back to Bonnet Creek. However, if you don't want to walk around with everything you buy, you can elect to have it sent to the front of the park. There is a designated pick-up place. So far I have only used this service in MK so I don't know offhand where all the pick-up locations are at.

Have a great vacation! I'm sure you'll love Bonnet Creek!

Hey lillygator!!

hey there my beautiful chickadee!! (and chicklette....and handsome hubb!)
cross your fingers, I think Ken is hooking us up for October!




How are you all? DD ok? I scanned your CB post on her bump.....and now another babe?? We are struggling with that now....7 and 5, 45 and 35......a new baby? If I could make sure it was a girl (only since they all have to share a room and all the hand me downs!)

Hope all is well!!

was this where you stayed where the pool was not in service?

 

[lillygator]

and btw, not fully booked yet, Ken is on HIS vacation, and he has been emailing me while on his trip.


I consider that excellent customer service.
