Can you go back and forth or once you go back to WBC you have to stay? We generally take the afternoon off to relax and go back in the evening.

Any recs for some good pizza places that deliver. I mean we eat Dominos so its not like we are total snobs, just looking for best pizza delivery or opinions from those who have stayed there. 3 more weeks!!!

Giordano's has great stuffed pizza and thin crust too if that is your preference. It is EXCELLENT & they have three locations (delivery to a wide radius around those).

Well on the phone they list 4 or 5 places that are allowed to deliver on the resort. Otherwise you would have to go our and get it. I know papa johns was one... that's all we can remember

If u r referring to the shuttle I would think u could come and go as much as you please around corresponding shuttle times.
If u r referring to driving your car... your parking pass is good at all parks all day for the day u paid at the parks so u can come and go that way as well. We came back 2 of our 4 days and went back out after dinner.

Thanks. Referring to the shuttle. When we stayed at Bush Gardens and the shuttle came back we weren't able to return later in the day. It had only a.m. times to go over and only return times in the p.m. WBC sounds like run their shuttles both directions so if one is heading to a park to pick up, we could hope on and go the other direction?

Are there hair dryers in each bathroom or just 1 per unit?

Thanks

We were in a 2 bedroom in bldg 4 and had one in each bathroom (2 total).

Im pretty sure there were return times in the afternoons to the parks. We didn't use the shuttle but I looked at the sheet. They have set times they go out and come back in all day long if i remember correctly, but some are more spread out than others. HOpefully someone who's there right now and has the shuttle sheet in front of them for April can post exact times for this month.

Does WBC provide life vests, jackets, or any other floatation devices for children in the lazy rivers/pools or should we bring our own? Also what is the best tower/floor for a 2 bed dlx with lake view. I know everybody has their own opinions on the subject, but any thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No life vests or floatation devices are provided. You can't go wrong in almost any tower! I love towers 4,5 and 6...but if you have babies you might prefer the main building or 3.

The only thing they had last year was yellow innertubes. I believe they are still provided on first come first serve.

We ordered delivery from Flippers. WBC have menus at the Clubhouse concierge desk. The deliver directly to your tower. We enjoyed our food - pasta, salad, and pizza - and though the price was reasonable.

In bldg 4 we had a regular hair dryer, it was not attached to the wall.

It was really nice and I regret not looking at the brand. I need to buy a new hair dryer soon and would like to get one just like it. Does anyone know the brand??

In bld. 6, the hair dryer is not attached to the wall, its a conair.

Opps! I stand corrected. I knew I saw one, but I guess I confused it with somewhere else?

We had Flippers today, really good. They called when they were in the lobby.

Just back last night from a week at Disney. We stayed the first 4 nights in a 3 bedroom at Bonnet Creek. We were granted our request for building 6. We had an awesome room with 2 king beds and 2 full beds and 2 baths. Everything was great. Just wanted to share a few thoughts. You do have to check out the pool towels now, but really not a big deal. We traded them each day for fresh ones which is nice not to have to wash those up each day. Wi fi throughout the complex in Tower 6. We loved the flat screen touch screen computer on the wall. Internet access and lots of other neat options on the screen such as requesting towels, or pack n play or such..When I checked in, I didn't list my husbands name and also I only circled my salary. I guess they weren't impressed with my 39,000. They never contacted me at all for a tour. My advice is don't even act like you are interested in a tour. At first they asked would I like to attend the free breakfast on Monday or Tuesday. I said that I was so tired that I couldn't think straight. Also, when you check in you fill out a card with your tag number for a parking pass. The card ask for your cell number. I didn't think they needed my cell number so I wrote down a number that was a little off just in case they thought they were gonna call and bother me. I purchased off of Ebay as I have done 6 times now. No trouble at all. I paid $299 for 4 nights in a 3 bedroom. I thought this was a great deal. As long as your seller has great feedback don't worry. I also called as soon as I received the confirmation from the seller and then called twice more before the trip to confirm I had a room in my name with wyndham. I would suggest that if you have a car and a gps purchase a AAA parking pass and drive to the parks. We have always stayed on Disney Property and used the bus system. We loved driving this year to the parks using the AAA parking pass (ebay). It worked great. We parked right beside of the handicapp lot and was very pleased. Great experience at Bonnet Creek. The only downside of the trip was when we checked out of Bonnet Creek into the cramped room at POP that we had stayed at and loved for years..

Well if it helps...

When I was down in March i ordered from Dominoes without any problems. They couldn't deliver to the room itself due to the key access, but the driver called my cell and met me in front of the tower.
