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

[Brian Noble]

I'm sure you could find breakfast in either the Hilton or Waldorf=Astoria, just next to the Wyndham complex.

We just cancelled our reservations at the Ft. Wilderness Cabins and booked at Bonnet Creek! We own a time share in Gatlinburg, TN and traded thru RCI for 10/3 thru 10/10. I just couldn't justify an extra $2300, for a smaller place, to stay on Disney property!

I am now planning a trip to the Panhandle for this summer with the money I am saving.

I am also very thankful for this thread!

For those that have used Ken does he email you the contract or mail it? I am just getting nervous because I haven't seen anything from him yet. My husband wants to have something else booked if we don't hear back soon because we arrive April 26th.

Hi, does anyone know what the incentives for the timeshare presentation are or do they change? Thanks!!

Ken will email your contract. I can only reassure that Ken is on top of things. I read that he was away last week, so hopefully you will hear soon.

Is there an in room safe? If so how does it work and does it cost? I would also like to know what the current promotion is if you go the timeshare tour (free gift card?) Only 14 more days. Getting really excited!

They probably vary based on how badly they need to make quota. However, I would not wish a Wyndham presentation on my worst enemy. No amount of money is worth that.

We sat through one about 2 years ago. We just told them over and over that my wifes parents already own one so we can use theirs and when they pass, it will be given to us. Not really much they could say to that and they let us on our way.

We arrive on the 24th and we just got our contract today. This is our first rental from Ken and even though I hear nothing but good things, I was still getting a little nervous! I think I heard Ken has been on vacation, so that may be the delay.

Three weeks from today...I can't wait!!!

Has anyone every stayed in a 4 bedroom presidential suite and can you just rent one for 2 days only? do they furnish towels etc? what about cleaning the unit when your stay is over do they do it all or do u have to clean it

ohionola - there is a safe in the closet of the master bedroom. You program it with the combination of your choice (instructions are on the safe). It's not very deep - tho. it is tall. We were able to fit quite a bit in the safe.

I LOVE Wyndham Bonnet Creek too! The rooms are clean and spacious and you get a balcony! We stayed in a 2 bedroom deluxe which was just perfect for a family of 4. We just came back from an amazing stay. The pools were warm and heated - even with the weather being sometimes chilly we could still go and swim. We loved the new lazy river pool and we walked over to the water slide pool too. We wish the pool slide would stay open a bit later the 5pm, but that was ok. My family loved the pools and whirlpools! The bus service was always on time and we always had a seat. The location is excellent, next to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and so close to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. I feel Bonnet Creek is a great value for the money. We will stay there again.

They gave us $125 Cash. The initially offered me $75 as either Disney Dollars or an American Express Card. I told them that my vacation time was more valuable than that, and that if they could get me $150 I might consider going. It turned out that they came back by calling my room with an offer of $125 Cash and a 3 day 2 night vacation certificate, that is handled by an outside vendor. At my presentation time the salesman was very kind and let us out of the presentation within 30 minutes instead of the 90mins because I told him that I was not interested in buying when I could rent from an owner at a good price or buy resale at a fraction of the cost from ebay. So he signed my voucher and I was free to leave with my gifts. I gave my $'s to my kids for spending money.

I am hoping to hear something soon as well. Just don't want to lose my spot.

Good for you. Nice trade. You can do a lot of fun stuff with that $2,300 - maybe even a couple of more trips!

Has anyone booked via Ken at VacationUpgrades.com before? Is the reservation in your name or his upon arrival? Do you call ahead and make room requests? Typically we stay at Marriott Grande Vista via my friend's timeshare and the reservation is in my name and two weeks before arrival I call and make room requests. Just wasn't sure how it all worked with Ken.

Thanks for any info!

 

[ohionola]

I have not booked with KEN but I purchased a stay on Ebay and it came in my name.

 

[Janet Hill]

The reservation will be in your name, or you will not be allowed to check in.
