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

[mrzrich]

I have a couple of questions.

2. If we drive to the parks can we leave to eat lunch in our room and go back without having to pay another $14?

Thanks

You only have to pay $14 once a day. Hold on to your recipt.

FYI this also works if you park hop. You only have to pay for parking once a day, so if you start your day and pay for parking at AK and then hop to MK, just show them your receipt at the MK toll both. You don't have to pay for parking twice in one day.

The simplest advice is that when you check in, tell them what kind of view you want or location you want and they will tell you what's available. I have always been given a couple of options.

I really wonder if there is any advantage to calling ahead and making a request, as they seem to always seem to easily move me from the room I was originally slotted in.

This could be why people who call ahead for a lake view end up with a parking lot view.

thank you!

I've done that several times at different timeshares, and it's never been a problem. I usually let them know in advance. And yes, since your check-in is on Sunday, you should be able to check in as early as you want on Monday.

Thank-you!!!!

So I am only on page 64, so my questions may be answered somewhere, but I just can't wait any longer!

1) Are there bathrooms at all the pools? (with 6 kids someone ALWAYS has to GO)

2) Where exactly are the grills located?

3) There is someone renting a 3 BR Presidential on e-bay, would that be in the new tower(6?)

4) Is there a pool at the 6th tower?

I think that is all for now. I am SO excited about this resort. I had no idea you could rent for so CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited to be able to stay "off site" on site and have SOO much room!

1) No I believe not,but perhaps somebody else could clear that up for you.
2) The grills are located between building 5 & 6 and The Main Building and Building #4, and I can't remember the other buildings
3) Not necessarily- there are 3 bedroom units throughout Bonnet Creek
4) Yes- it is the pirate pool!

1. There are bathrooms near the pools you can use, at least there are near the pools by buildings 4, 5 and 6.

2. I don't recall any 2 or 3 BR presidentials until building 6 was built.

If you skip ahead to page 92 of this thread, member Cdn Gal, has posted pictures of the entire resort, including the Pirate pool.

this should give you what you want.

I posted this earlier but so far haven't found an answer. I was wondering how do I use my points for tix? I did buy direct and would like to know how it works thanks.

We have always stayed on Disney property but are considering staying here for our next trip. (we need a 1 bedroom villa) The biggest advantage for us about staying on site is that we do not have to drive anywhere. My concern is getting lost - neither my husband or I are good at driving in unknown areas. Can anyone tell me how you found your way around on your first trip? (we would basically go just to the Disney parks and some local areas to eat) I don't want to spoil the trip getting frustrated driving around in circles.

First of all, WBC is right next to Disney's Caribbean Beach Club resort and across from Epcot, so it practically IS on-site. Nothing is very far, so I can't imagine you getting lost. You might seriously consider an inexpensive GPS for your car...that would help tremendously with getting around anywhere you are (not just Disney)!

Everyone can use every pool at the resort. All the amenities are open to everyone staying there.

The directory lists the bedding as K,K,2DB,2DB. So, no sofa beds.

Thanks Brian!!

Hello fellow Bonnet Creek Lovers! I just have to say that I am a die hard Poly fan. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. But a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon this thread and now Bonnet Creek is my new obsession! I have read through the whole thread and looked at the pictures over and over again. So thank you to those who have contributed. I haven't cancelled my reservation for the Poly yet, but I plan on doing it soon. I hope to get a reservation for 9 nights in a 2 bedroom presidential unit for August. The only thing I am going to tell my family is that we are not going to be able to stay at a Disney Resort this trip because it's not in the budget and we need to cut back. (lol) I can't wait to see their reaction when we arrive! Until then I am anxiously awaiting more reports and pictures.

There is a desk in the main building that you can buy tickets at. This can be for tix to almost any park. Last year, we used points to buy tix to EPCOT, and tix to Arabian Nights. Its a little of a rip off, but we had cancelled points from the VIP rebate, and you can't bank those points. So, it was use them or lose them.

You just go up to the desk, give them your member number, and they will look you up and tell you how many points you have available to use. You can also use cash if you like.

Hope that helps.

Joe

I have read the entire thread and haven't seen the answer to my question. We are looking into staying at Bonnet creek for a week and found and awesome deal on ebay except that I'm debating between a 3br presidential for $599 and a 2 bedrooms DELUXE New Tower 6 - VIP SUITES for less then $300. What is the big difference between a presidential suite and deluxe VIP suite? We honestly don't need 3 bedrooms but if the presidential is much better, I still think that $599 is a steal.

I thought I read someplace that there is a spa at the resort. Can anyone confirm this and if there is, any details about it would be appreciated. The girlfriend says she NEEDS TO KNOW!

We are planning a trip to BC in July with our son, his wife and 3 grandchildren. We are trying to figure out what building would be best for us. Would like a lake/pool view. Since the kids are 3, 5 and 6 it would probably be good to be by a pool, playground and activities. is there a playground by building 4(Torre del Cielo) or just building 1(Torre de la Tierra)? How are the furnishings in building 1? have they been renovated recently? do they have flatscreens? is the lazy river by building 5(Torre del Luna) bigger than the lazy river by main building? One more question: does the shuttle pick up at both main building and building 6? thx!

 

[MommyPoppins]

What is this area? Is it a little children's water area? Are there pictures of this one?

Thanks!
