Which renovations are you referring to? I ate at Back Bay Bar and Grille in April, if that works for your timeline. BTW, it is technically in the Wydham Grand, not in CWBC.

Thank you! Back Bay has been closed for a complete remodel and was supposed to reopen sometime in November but I wasn’t sure if they completed it yet.

In November, the workers hoped for December so

Happy New Year to all!
We’ve been to WBC a couple dozen times but not since April 2023. We’re returning in April 2025 and just booked another visit for November.
For those that visit often or get the inside scoop, what’s the current state of things? Are there any renovations going on at this time or scheduled in upcoming months? Do they do major pool renovations where they shut down pools entirely for months at a time like Disney? Just trying to catch up. TIA

Tower 3 is currently being renovated. No pools are closed.

I recently went to the new Club Wyndham Sales location in the MargaritaVille Complex near WDW/AK area.
They gave me $100 gift &certificate for 2 night stay
Today receiving a reminder to use and also offer for 2 night Cruise aboard the
MargaritaVille at Sea value at $600
I am really good at enduring those requirements of another sales pitch if I have retired status …
What do you think?
I plan to read this entire thread and highlight the important stuff! Haha

Did you know they are expanding with new Resort in this same complex?

The Embassy Suites also is completing their final add on building in this same complex.Sales were good for their first venture into TimeShares…
I love Embassy Suites
I’m actually going to sell one of my contracts wDVC cause I have had enough …joined in 2001 Villa Wilderness Lodge added on in 2018 w/ BLT direct!

Nervous about getting into another one !

You should not, under any circumstances, purchase any contracts from Wyndham directly. Resale contracts are basically free.

We usually drive to Orlando, this time we are flying. What would you suggest for transportation from the airport to Bonnet Creek for three adults and 4 suitcases. Thank you for your suggestions.

We have always rented a car from MCO for the convenience and freedom it provides. They have many rental car companies right at the terminal. Have a great time!

I rent a car so as not to be reliant on uber while there

Any of the private companies mentioned on the Transportation forum should work. FL Tours, Gear Fusion, Tiffany Town Car, there are others. Ask for recommendations here: https://www.disboards.com/forums/transportation.16/

Add me to the "get a rental car" list.

Been a few years since we stayed at WBC. Back then we used Vacation Strategy to book our room. I am sure many things have changed since then. Is it possible for non owners to still book a room at the resort? If possible, what is the best and cheapest way to do that now?

 

[StayDis]

Yes, non owners can still book rooms. There are some limitations on dates but you can try Extra Holidays to check availability. Owners also list confirmed reservations on eBay if you’re comfortable going that route.

Have you had a bad experience with ride share availability?

Thanks. Do they still try to corner you in the lobby for a presentation to get your bracelets?

Yes. Basically all timeshares (except DVC) do that. Just keep saying no and you’ll be fine.

In your experience, do you find that June and July are always blocked for non owners?

It’s been an “owner priority period” for the past several years.
