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

I'm glad to hear it was a random event. When I see my parents this week, I'll be sure to let them know it was just bad luck.

I need some advice from the BC veterans..

We're going in May 2011 and staying in a 2BR (us) and 1BR (parents). We don't really care about having a fireworks view. What we DO care about is being "near" where the action is.. we have 2 boys (4 & 2) - we would like to be near where possible activities are, pools, etc. Also looking for something that is convenient as far as parking/walking. My Dad has MS - he walks fine, just looking to cut out any non-necessary walking, since he'll be walking all day at the parks.

Any advice on which building(s) I might want??

Can someone please lookup the points value for the presidential sweet at whyndam bonnet creek for almost anytime in august(2011), December(2011), and January(2012). I'm having problems with my whyndam login at the moment. But basically I have at the moment 10 people and myself who have been saving up and dedicated to go on this trip and I really just need a quick response for them since bonnet creek is so conveniently located right near WDW. I'll most likely have access again to my account soon, But really need this information quickly. I just dont have to much time to run and call them up and be on the phone for four hours.

Thank you to all who took the time to read my plea for help. And Especially THANK YOU!, in advance to whoever can answer my question.

We're here now, and must say that we are delighted with our 2BRD room in Tower 5. Fingers crossed everything is perfect. We had an small issue in our room that we dealt with immediately (a quick repair) and the reception staff have been very helpful with our requests.

Ken Price has been wonderful throughout and I can't recommend using him highly enough. First class.

Here in our 2 bedroom in Tower 2. Facing the golf course/parking lot, but we have sun all afternoon, so I am thrilled!

Our room was ready at noon, and obviously no one was here last night because there were 2 pizza flyers under the door! Everything is great. Microwave was dirty, but no big deal!

Have Christmas Eve dinner in over (Prime Rib) and rolls are cooling on counter. Just waiting for my sister and her family to join us for dinner!

We are leaving in an hour and headed to BC! Only thing is it's COLD! I think we might spend more time in our room than ever. Good thing it's not a hotel/motel room.

It is COLD. We checked in and went over to AK. In the summer I think AK is the hottest park, so perhaps it is also the warmest in winter, too? We are originally Yankees so we can handle cold, but it really is cold. We layered ourselves. LOL, DH has be professing the importance of layers for days. He was so satisfied to hear me say: "You're right about the layers, babe!."

We are in Tower 1 facing the parking lot. I am hoping maybe we will see a bit of the fireworks from Illuminations here in a bit.

DH has the Saints V. Falcons game on while he sips a beer. I am drinking Mimosas and catching up on the boards. We're gonna take our time tomorrow and roll out to Epcot eventually. DD loves the jacuzzi tub so we're gonna give her time to have a long bath in the a.m. With a bit of pixie dust we might even brave the lines for a ride or two Then, we will be back early, and chill! Thank goodness, we are able to spread out and relax in a nice 1 br and are not cramped together in Pop. I love BC! We have AP so we don't feel the need to see and do it all when we come over.

We are heading out to BC for our first stay in a couple of weeks. We've never stayed there before so I don't know where I should request a room -- or even if a room request is necessary. We are staying in a 2bdrm/2bath deluxe. We would probably prefer a lower floor but we don't have any major specifications other than quiet -- and maybe close to transportation.

Any ideas? Is it necessary to request a room location?

Thanks!

We stayed at BC from 7th to 18th December and had a fantastic time once again. We had room 303 in the main building which was great. We had a fireworks view which was a real bonus as we only like to stay in a low floor so not sure you can see them if you stay in low floor in one of the other buildings.
This is our 3rd trip here having also stayed the past 2 Decembers. The resort just gets better and better. The new pool area is lovely although i have to admit to prefering the pool at the main building and the pool that was built last year, lovely relaxed atmosphere. The weather was the coldest we have ever known but we still managed a few days by the pool when it was a little warmer.
I really can't fault anything atall. will be great when the new hotel is finished as there will be more food options. However, the food at the Escudo's pool was lovely.
The room was newly renovated with Flat Screen tv's and new soft furnishings, curtains etc.
Can't wait to go back.

If you want quiet, ask for a room at the end of the hall. We were in one of those a couple weeks ago, and basically there were only other units above, below and to one side of us. To two sides was the outside and to one side was the stairwell and hall. The bedrooms were on the side of the unit by the outside and stairwell. We never heard ANYONE. Quietest timeshare unit we've ever stayed in anywhere (or tied for first with a timeshare HOUSE we stayed at, anyway).

I got the impression that the walls and floors/ceilings were very well soundproofed, so even a standard room probably wouldn't be bad.

If you don't mind waiting until 90 days out, the price will drop. I have also used ebay very successfully several times.

My husband and I purchased the Discovery Wyndham points and some family things have come up and we won't be able to use them. We have 224,000 points left and our expiration date is 11-2011. Is there a way to sell these? We really love Wyndham we just have family issues we need to take care of right now. If anyone is interested or knows of a good way to sell them, please let me know.

Thanks

You cannot sell them as points - even to another Wyndham member - since 2008. But you CAN book a reservation that someone wants and rent THAT to them. Post your offer that way and you should be able to at least recover your annual fees if it is a reasonably in demand time & you use all or most of the points.

Thanks. Are there websites where I can post my points for rent? I am new to this so thank you for any advice.
