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

You can definately choose any check in day and/or number of nights within the 30 day window. I am not sure of the actual policy though it might be within the 60 day window that the number of nights/check-in days rule is relaxed.

 

[Brian Noble]

For a 1-week stay, you must check-in AND check-out on a Fri, Sat or Sun. For a 3-day or 4-day stay, you must check-in OR check-out on a Fri, Sat or Sun.

Two subtle additions.

1: This is true only in "prime" season, and only for reservations made more than 90 days in advance. In lower-demand times, and for reservations made within 90 days of check in, you can check in/out on any day of the week.

2: Even advance reservations in prime seasons can be made with different check-in/check-out days by "connecting" separate reservations, where each separate reservation observes the rules. So, for example, you could go Tuesday-to-Tuesday by making one four-night reservation Tuesday-Saturday, and another three-night Satruday-Tuesday. "Officially", you are told you may have to move rooms. However, at Bonnet, I don't know of anyone who has had to---they work pretty hard to keep you in the same room.

Have a great time Kingstonian! You will love it there!!! Make sure to take lots of pics! I am very curious to see how much the construction has progressed for the hotel and the new pool there.

[Cdn Gal]

Does anybody know when the hotel/tower will be finished?

I have received a pretty good quote from someone for a Presidential unit, I am just questioning the payment policy. All monies are due at time of booking with no option of canceling for a refund, only to exchange. Reservation is still more than 90 days away. I know with Ken he only ask for a deposit of 1/3 down and the rest is due at 25 days before arrival. Although his price is higher than this other quote I received. Is it common to have to pay 100% at booking?

Many owners will only rent with 100% payment as they can't be chasing after people who fail to pay the balance - often way too close to the use time to allow for an easy re-rental. It is far less common to allow only partial payment except for really active renters (like Ken) but you do pay more to get that type of service.

We're here now - checked in yesterday. This place is even better than I expected and I had high expectations! I can't believe how easy it is to get to the parks and how nice it is to have a car here.. I don't know if we're ever going to stay on property again!! Having all this room is priceless!!

I have been lurking on this thread for a long time now, but I have something to post finally!! DH and I just bought Wyndham points on Ebay and we can't wait for closing to be done so we can start using them here!! We will probably end up using them other places in the distant future but for the next 5 years+ we plan to stay at WBC!! We haven't been here yet, but based on what we have read and seen in pics we should be very happy.
We have shown our DD's the pics as well and our 10 yo was so happy to see the big dining table....she said she can't wait to sit together at that table as a family instead of the rinky dinky table at the Disney hotel! I'm like, what about the 2 lazy rivers and all the pools? Sure, those are great, but it's that table, oh and the fact that she and her sister get their own beds bathroom that she is so excited for!! I'm sure once she sees the pools the story will change!
Gonna keep reading here and on tugg and the Wyndham owners forum to get as much info as we can...thanks for all the pics and reviews!! It's because of this thread that we ended up going for Wyndham instead of DVC!

Sure! We're in tower 4... once we're home, I'll post pictures and also a specific room #.. We have a lake view and it's really beautiful.

They met all our requests - we requested tower 4 or 5, lake view, and we wanted to be close to my parents (also in a 2BR) and they are right across the hall from us.. perfect!

Everyone has been very helpful and friendly and check-in yesterday at 4pm was only about 25 minutes total.

Parking has been easy here too, I was worried we'd have to park FAR away but that hasn't been the case.

Is the kids splash area in good proximity to where you are at? I am thinking of trying for building 4 also.

 

[sippyjane]

WOW!!!! I just found this forum....super excited, because we arrive there next Saturday for a week!!!!

So, I've gone through only about the last 30 pages (have over 200 to go ) and have a few questions:

1. What would be the best tower for usto request: we have 5 year old twins who love to swim/play in the pool, and my parents will be with us too. We have a 2 bedroom booked. Love the idea of seeing fireworks from our room. Tori, looks like you had a great room for that!
2. Do you request prior to check in or at checkin?
3. Who are VIP's and what exactly does that status get you?
4. Is internet service free in all buildings?


Sure there are many more questions to come up....

Thanks in advance! Super excited.....

So glad to hear they met all your requests...Did you fax or call them ahead of time? Do you have a room controller number you could pass on? I'd really appreciate it. We are staying in June (me, hubby and 4 kids); so we definetly have some needs.
