The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

[brehede1]

I would be grateful for some advise from the experts on Bonnet Creek. I want to stay at a 2 bed room unit at Bonnet Creek in August 2016 but the prices seem to be quite high. Does anyone have a feel for how full it is likely to be in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of August - is it usually full at 60 days before or are discounts likely to be available at that point?
Thanks!

Keep checking and also check options on VRBO. I was looking for a specific week during the height of spring break frenzy and found the price I wanted by just emailing tons of folks asking their rate. Given, I haven't checked in yet, but so far so good with Shelby Resorts.

The prices seem to be pretty high when you're far out from your dates - I know six months isn't a long way out in the Disney planning world but it is a long way out from my experience booking at WBC. Mid to late August should be slower since schools are resuming.

We're using Vacation Up[grades for the second time this coming April, so I checked their pricing here. They look to be about $200 a night during late August, which isn't crazy cheap, but for a two bedroom condo practically on Disney property I think it is a pretty great price.

Thanks for the replies! I guess it is just an expensive time of year....

August? I don't think it is. My Easter week for next year is 100 a night.

I am planning a trip and was just on a list of character meets on Kenny the pirate. Has anyone noticed this?

@njmousefest I saw this from Happyinwonerland earlier in this thread. It's at the Lake Buena Vista Wyndham right next door to BC

I called Wyndham lake buena vista. They do have character meal Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings with Mickey Goofy and Pluto. $24.95 adults/ $12.95 ages 4-11. For those prices it doesn't seem worth it. Might as well do a real disney breakfast.

Anyone know about thing about trying to put in a request for the Main Building? When we called to put a preference in they said we could only reserve in a tower. We have a reservation for two, 2 bedroom suites.

Lake Buena Vista Wyndham is a hotel located with the hotels at Disney Sorings - formerly downtown Disney. It is not by Bonnet Creek. The Wyndham hotel at Bonnet Creek is called the Wyndham Grand at Bonnet Creek.

Booked a last minute stay, checking in this Saturday, for a few days in a 2 BR deluxe. We are not going to any Disney parks. Just Legoland, Disney Springs, a Spring training game at WWOS, and relaxing. We have a 3 yr old son.

I usually have little patience for people who ask questions rather than read a thread or search but, due to time constraints, I'm going to be one of THOSE people.

Was wondering what building(s) I should request in terms of convenience (to pools, parking, other important facilities), updated rooms, resort view (pools & greenery vs parking lot) and/or possibility of seeing some fireworks.

Also, I know check in is at 4 but, do they ever let people check in earlier (based on availability)? Or at the very least, use the pool before 4?
TIA!

I've just begun to look at Bonnet Creek for the first time, and I see a lot of people mention the 60 day mark. What is the significance? Does more inventory become available and prices become cheaper at that point? I'm looking at late June and the prices seem to be around $240/night, which doesn't seem to be as great of a deal as others are mentioning. I'm wondering if I should wait until I get closer.

Are there kids life jackets available at the pools? We have a toddler one, but it's huge to pack

Does anyone have the March-May activities guide, or access to it? I can't seem to find it online. TIA!

no, not that I remember. They might have floaties to buy though if you want to go that route.

Thanks for these threads!!

Thanks, I have this one, it's for 2015. I'm looking for 2016 to see if they've changed anything since last spring break. Appreciate the effort and response!

I think there might be a typo in the brochure. That same link had the Feb one in it until just recently.

 

[missingdisneymore]

Nope, I have that same PDF saved as a file, and the actual hard copy brochure we were given by the resort. That is the same one. I also have the one for June-Aug 2015, Sep-Nov, etc and they were a bit different. Guess I'll have to wait.

Hey everyone, what is the earliest you've checked in and had a room ready? What is the likelihood that we'll get lucky around 10 am on a Friday???

And they'll check us out pool towels before a room assignment, right? I'm anticipating some pool time while we wait.

 

[jennasmommyinMS]

Last year I checked in at 7:30 am on a Friday, and they had a room ready. It overlooked the parking lot, and I could've waited for a better location, but we were headed to a park, and I wanted to be able to come back to the room early in the afternoon.
