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

There is no shuttle between the resort and the airport---you'd have to either go with Mears, a towncar, a taxi, or a rental car. At that point, I figure the rental car is worth the additional expense for convenience.

That's what I figured... rental car it is! (I'm an AP holder so at least I get 20% off alamo!)

For those who have had the fireworks AND lake view, what building were you in and did you like the view? I'm trying to decide between "very high and fireworks view" vs. "fireworks and lake view". Any opinions??

we are at the resort right now! Checked in about 3 hrs ago and I love it! DH wentto ESPN zone to watch the Ranger playoff game and I unpacked. THen the kids and I spent an hour lazing in the lazy river pool. It is really right outside our building! We're in Building 5- with fireworks view. We do look right over the parking garage so the view isn't nice during the day but I can't wait to watch the fireworks tonite on our balcony with a glass of wine.

We did get the normal request for the timeshare presentation and we are going to do it. We were told the hour & a half includes the free breakfast and we're getting $100 in disney dollars and a free 3day/2 nite return voucher- which we can use this summer or in october when DH's family are coming to Disney. Hopefully the sales pressure will be low!

Ask any questions and I should be able to check back in a few times during the week!

Thanks again Vette Chick- this is perfect for my family!

The tour will probably be around 2-3 hours and the 'free' breakfast is muffins, danishes and donuts from a convenience store. We didn't enjoy the breakfast at all. But hey- we got our gift certificate. Whatever you do don't buy from them no matter what they say- don't even buy the used points from them. Trust me there are far more cheaper ways that you can buy into Wyndham. I hope you have a great time, it sounds like you will be. Make sure to post some pics!

If you plan on doing laundry, I would bring dryer sheets. 2 starter packets of detergent are supplied and it seems that now they will give you more if requested, but they don' provide dryer sheets.

I stayed last Aug and yes, they give you more detergent if needed, but there are no dryer sheets.

I was in bldg 5, 14th floor and loved my view! We saw different fireworks displays... even ones from Universal, they were a little harder to see but never the less, we saw them. EPCOTS were amazing, MK were good... didn't see any for HS from my view

I am currently in the process of speaking with someone to rent from them for this coming Aug. The guy I used last year cannot get it this year. If the one I am working with falls thru, I see from this thread that many have gone with Ken. Does anyone else have any other's I could contact?

We had to cancel our trip for May, so very bummed out about it, but with the baby's health problems it is for the best. Looking forward to Christmas but prob wont be BC, too expensive...

 

[tndislvr]

So sorry to hear baby is not well, Katiesmommy. Hope she is okay.

Is there a pool outside of every building? And which ones have the lazy rivers?

 

[DisneyCrazyMom22]

Ok, found the map, but still uber confused any suggestions for the following in terms of buildings?

I want to request fireworks view and be close to the zero entry pool/lazy river. I will try and go back and reread this thread, but I just dont have the time right now I cant beleive how long it got!!!! Im so SUPER excited for this trip! I cant wait to try Bonnet Creek!

The pool by building 5 also has zero entry, lazy river and a great fireworks view.

To vettechick and everyone else: thank you so much for all the useful info. We are going in just 3 days!!! So excited!

Does anyone know if guests are allowed to come and visit? We have friends that are staying on site in Disney, and I'd love for them to vist us. If they give the gatekeeper our names and building number, is that enough?

I didn't even have to do that. When I stayed and my sister came to visit, they let her in just by her saying she was coming to my unit to visit. She came over 3 times without any problems

No there is not.. I know bldg 5 has the Fort Themed Lazy River, with zero entry. Bldg 4 is a very close to 5 & they have a very small cool off type pool closer to them. The main bldg where you check in at has another Lazy River & Pool. Bld 2 has the pool with the slide but bldg 3 is basically right there too.. bldg 1 has no pool area & you must walk to them... the slide pool would be the closest to there. The newer bldgs (#6) was being built when I was there, I don't know if they were building a pool there or not.. this was all as of Aug 2009.
