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

[grandmadebby2]

Going tomorrow! I cannot wait!

Anyone have anything they want me to check on?

Would love to know the bus schedule compared to the park hours. If you are able to scan the bus schedule I can get the park hours from here. Last time we went and stayed there the bus stopped running an hour to an hour and a half before the park closed.
If it is to much trouble don't worry about it.

I will get the schedule, but I do not have a scanner Sorry.

We are looking forward to our first stay here, May 3-8, 2011. We just finished reading the entire thread and learned a lot. We booked our stay through Ken at vacationupgrades. He and his wife were excellent and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to stay at BC that is not an owner. The wife is looking forward to enjoying the resort while I am attending a conference. We are both bery excited and thank you everyone for your feedback and comments on this thread!!

IF you are there now and have the time, post some pics of the menus at the Pizza Place and the Pool Bar. I think its helpful to know WHAT food is available on site, limited as it is.

Have fun, 2 more weeks for us!

Is there one ethernet jack in the the units? It's only in the main area and not in the bedrooms? I understand I can bring my router.. but it's not in use and I have no clue what the password is for it..

My young grandsons wake easily and early in the a.m. Can the bedrooms be made quite dark so the very early sunshine doesn't wake them?

Have a wonderful time!

1. There is one ethernet cable and it is next to the main phone on the kitchen island in the main area with the living room/dining room/kitchen.

2. You should be able to a hard reset on your old router to clear any password. Consult your manual.

3. If you don't want to move your home router, you can buy one for $20 or less. For example, this week compusa has one on sale for $12.99.

DVD - there is no DVD player in the room, only a stereo

Actually, That stereo under the TV is also a DVD player. It's nice because you can get your DVD audio out of the stereo speakers instead of the TV speakers for a bit more "oomph" and clarity in the audio. (It was really nice since i Bought a Blue Man Group DVD while down there a couple years ago and would love to play it while cooking dinner later in the week).

As someone else mentioned, the curtains are VERY good at blocking out the sun in the bedrooms.

We just found out that some relatives of ours will be in Orlando, different resort, the same time we are at Bonnet Creek. Is it possible for them to come have dinner with us in our unit? Will they have to register somewhere to park their car or something?

When we have this situation, we just get two parking passes when checking in and give one to our guests.

We had the same thing happen with us and found it quite easy to get a second parking pass. You might have them give you their tag # and type of vehicle in case you are asked.

We're not driving and won't need a parking pass. I imagine if I just give the info from their vehicle that might work. Thanks.

IIRC, when we had guests visit us last year, they just gave our name and room number at the front gate. Security has that info at the gate and will let them through after verifying that you are guests.

Hope that is still the process.
