Building 6 will have an indoor pool with all presidential units. It will also have a restaurant, and a separate check in for guests. We are hoping to see the new building when we are there this summer!

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...

Maybe not - I was there Christmas 2008. I checked in on Christmas Day for 5 nights and paid about $90 a night off ebay. We had a 2BR/2BA unit in building 5 (10th floor, I think).

WOOHOOO!!!! I am confirmed! Sept 26 - Oct 3! 2 BR unit!

When I called Wyndham to book I asked about tower 6. The woman I spoke with said that I could put a request in since not all the rooms are presidential, but she thinks that the regular rooms all over look the parking lot, so I decided to req. tower 5 pool view instead. Guess I'll see what happens in Sept.

I have not heard back from Ken. He emailed me that we have a reservation and that was while he was on vacation. I never got the info re teh deposit and where to send it. I hate to email again and bother him. I know he has a life too!

 

[Disneymaddness]

I would e-mail him again. I e-mailed him on Tues.afternoon and he called me Tuesday evening. Really nice guy!

 

[lillygator]

Thanks, I just emailed him again. Hope to hear something this weekend. I don't want to lose it!!

If you ask for tower 5, ask for the EPCOT view.. it may over look part of the parking garage, but we were on the 14th floor and had the best view of the fireworks in EPCOT. I know I posted a few of my pic's here last Aug while I was there.

Isn't that interesting... that is not what the timeshare lady told us... or my Godfather who bought from the developer, and bought into Tower 6. Unfortunately for him, he didn't know not to buy resale.

Just curious.... what part was different?

Regular rooms in the new tower? Regular rooms overlooking the parking lot?

Hi,
Thanks to this post, I am very excited to book a stay at Bonnet Creek for a few days next month. I read most of the posts but don't think this was discussed. Can you use the pool, hot tub, lazy river at night after a day at the parks? Can anyone remember how late they stay open?

I know many on this thread rent from Ken from Vacationupgrades.com, but I found a better rate for a 4 night stay in early May through 5 Star Resort Rentals (5starresorts.net). I found them on MyResortNetwork.com, a timeshare exchange site. Has anyone else dealt with them? They have been very prompt and professional answering my emails, but I have never rented a timeshare in this manner before and I am nervous about the risks involved.
Many of you mentioned booking thru ebay. Has anyone ever had a bad experience renting privately through an owner?

Are there other renters in addition to vacationupgrades some of you could recommend? I like to shop and compare several prices to be sure I am getting the best deal.
Thanks,
Chris

Were her lips moving? That's how you can tell a timeshare salesperson is lying!

Here are the pool rules: The pools are open from 8:00am to 10:00pm. There are no lifeguards on duty. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. And no glassware is allowed in the pool areas.

Just a quick note on the timeshare sales. My family attended one today for a $100 disney gift card. The lady we dealt with was very nice and we were very straight forward with her. After 90 minutes (which is what was required) we told our sales lady that time was up and asked to be on our way. We were staying on resort and had toured the 4 BR before. When she tried to send us on our way, her boss came over and was very rude. He made us tour a room, even though we were past our time, and said it was our fault it took longer than 90 minutes. Needless to say the experience went sour from there but we did end up with the GC. FYI if you decide to give up your time.
