Planning a mid April trip (Tues-Tues). Two adults, One 13yo. Is a 1BR 1BA roomy enough for 3? What is the check in and check out times? Would we have access to all BC amenities all day on day of checkout? Are all amenities free for resort guests? Would attending concurrent timeshare presentation reduce cost of stay?
You'd have much more room than sharing a WDW resort room and at least the same (if not more) than in a WDW 1-bedroom. That being said, our 12 and 14 yo's really like having their own bed and bath. There's also much less clutter as we have so much more storage. Both kids have crashed on the sleeper sofas at some time or another and have never complained about them, but I've never found one to be all that comfy.
Not sure what the official check-in times are, but we've checked in at all hours -- from early until late -- and never had an issue. Never stood in line either, although I've read of plenty of other guests who have.
Not sure what you mean by all "amenities." All pools, grills, pool towels, etc. are available to all guests free of charge. They do charge something like a quarter to purchase ping pong balls. There are crafts and things offered to kids on various days, and these have a small fee attached. Things such as shampoo, soap, etc. are free. Only a small amount is in the unit, but you can stop by the front desk or catch a housekeeper at any time for more -- and it's free.
You do have access to everything on the day of check-in. I asked before our first visit, never thinking we'd get right into our unit on that and subsequent trips. They'll even store perishable food items for you, if you are not able to access your unit.
We've only been offered park tickets (we're AP holders, so no good to us) and visits to other Wyndham properties in exchange for the time share presentation. As we've never been interested, we never asked if anything else were on offer.
