The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

[TigerlilyAJ]

Peppersandchips- Wyndham - like many hotels - charges more points for Fri & Sat night stays. I imagine the 5 day stays are Sunday - Thursday night which cost the owner less to rent so they are willing to rent the dates at a cheaper price and still make a profit.

Yes, when I inquired about a 7-day stay, the price for adding Friday night and Saturday night was about the same as booking a family suite at ASMu, where the Sun-Thurs nightly rate is less than anything Disney except a single room at Pop--which is not big enough for my party.
I'm looking forward to discovering how to kick back here and do some non-Disney dining and enjoy all the space. I can't wait to try out the whirlpool tub.

Now... who can convince my family that they won't end up needing Advil, bandaids, flip flops, more sunscreen, ponchos, and all the other crap I am designated to carry around in my parks bag?

That is hilarious! I am the carry all as well!

Was finally able to book a 2 bedroom deluxe for 7 nights through Farrell's. No one had a 3 bedroom left for our September trip. Waited too long but sometimes you have to when it comes to money. Just glad to find something as 4/6 of us had already bought our plane tickets for the trip! And more importantly, I have been signed up for bin 1 for those dates for months, lol! The only one really inconvenienced by going down to a 2 bdrm is my DD26 and she is being a total trooper about it! She and I are the real Disney freaks in the family so we go to Disney 2-3 more times a year for runDisney races. We almost always stay on property for those for the ease of race morning transportation. So she is fine with 1 trip of sleeping on the air bed.

Has anyone ever bought their room on eBay? I'm looking at both Farrell's Vacations and AZTimeshares as sellers. Any experience there?

I used seller "Qvac" off of ebay this time. We have a 2 bedroom deluxe from May 18th to May 27th booked for $900 !! she has 100% feedback. She worked hard to find my dates. Her price was $500 less than Farrell / $450 less than Vacation Strategy & Vacation Upgrades. Ive spoke with the seller twice - very nice lady. Look for her listings - if you dont see your dates she will hunt for them and call you when they pop up. Good luck !

Looking forward to loving Bonnet Creek in October for 7 days. This will be my kids first trip to Disney World and Bonnet Creek. We have gone to Wyndham Smoky Mtns. and Glacier Canyon resorts and they are both really nice. I'm sure these will be too. Although not sure how much time we will be spending there with all the Disney activities.

I just called to confirm our reservation and everything sounds good. We check in tomorrow!

Is it possible to rent just one night? We have a 7 night stay through RCI and check out on a Friday, but we are going on a cruise on Saturday. We were thinking maybe we could get one more night there through a renter (or at least check the cost) so we wouldn't have to move for one night. Also if we did that, is there a way to link the reservations so we don't have to move rooms at Bonnet Creek?

I think I'm falling out of love with Bonnet creek. Woke up this morning to bugs. My biggest fear ever. The building manager is great came out right away moved us is treating all of our stuff and is bringing out a dog to clear our next room for peace of mind. Perhaps they are only being so reactive because I actually was brave enough to get a bug in a bag for evidence.

That being said wyndham as a company in general is nasty. Please people do NOT set through the sells pitch. Today we were basically told it is a wate and we were taken for a ride with the Discovery plan we purchased last year. They midway restricted availability to discovery owners and never told us. I could go on and on but it's not worth it. Their rooms are hit and miss and if you are a germ a phobe or like a clean room bring your own cleaning stuff. This room we had so many balls of hair in the shower and corners of the bathroom. When I cleaned the floors the rags came up nearly black.

Now I know basically every hotel has issues with bugs these days. It's how they treat the issue that speaks volumes to me. It's sad to read other guests who have had same experiences where their concerns were dismissed. We work with many hotels back home so are aware of protocols Etc. Just wish this hotel would keep their standards up to par across the board. Last stay was amazing, this one has us done. Mostly due to how dirty the room was and how the manager and main sales person treated us. They do not keep their word at all and approach you wih an " oh well attitude. "

Are you talking about bed bugs or some other type of bug?

What is the midway? I've never heard of that.

Yes those are indeed what I am talking about.

About midway, was an auto correct or a typo. Sorry. I meant midway through our contract.

Thanks, I'm already in correspondence with a gal on Twitter. I will look into your other suggestions. I'm just really bummed they handled it as poorly as they have. Perhaps I'm even more irritated because I posted a positive experience about how they handled it before hand. Lesson learned.
That being said the main person here at BC laughed at my husband when he mentioned that one bad review can replace 10 great ones or more. She laughed and said it doesn't matter since they have millions of owners.

Bob I really don't think I was beat up. I do however get quite annoyed and irritated when a corporation or other people in general can't treat customers with respect. Yet I thank you for refraining. That being said I'm realistic and have a pretty thick skin so I can take pretty much any questions.

Being in the hotel industry ourselves in certain aspects, I can appreciate how difficult it is and that stuff can and will happen. Yet NEVER have I come across the management like here. I used to shake my head when I would read comments on how dismissive and rude they could be here. Well today I experienced it first hand on an epic level. One that no magic disney has to offer could erase.

With that I will say this, we have been staying here since it was still being built. Since it was taken over by RCI we have noted many changes. One of them being inaccurate and shotty housekeeping. Yet we obviously could deal with that and manage as we keep coming back and again are realistic. I can't even begin to list what has gone on with upper management and the main sales lady we had to deal with. Many promises today followed my far more lies. This is never ok in my book. The people that actually dealt directly with the situations such as housekeeping and the tower manager were wonderful but other calls were made above them and this is ridiculous. We couldnt have gone to the parks earlier today if we had wanted. I had to repack everything up to move to another room, then unpack what we needed when they said it would have to wait until tomorrow. Endless calls from the front desk, managers knocking on the doors , engineers security the list goes on. It's exhausting. Did we manage to find some time for laughs yes yet this will pick up again tomorrow. Oh joy as we find out what we have to do.

I have to be careful what I say and can't disclose all that has gone on but I will say I have zero trust or faith in the corporation. I'm not being dramatic or beaten down. Rather I am a person in the industry that has seen a great deal and the crew here takes the cake. It's easy to be nice and sweet when things are going good but when an issue arises that is what shows the true character of a company. I'm just sad for all the potential buyers in the future. They have no idea what they are getting into. None I'll leave it at that.

Hi all, I booked this hotel without reading a lot of info about it on here first. This is my first post to the board after lurking for a bit. I have two questions about this property. First is, I booked through Expedia and noticed that many people book through other sites directly getting the time share points. I called and confirmed the reservation with the resort but should I be worried about the reservation? Second question is since there is no daily housekeeping, is the room actually cleaned in between differnet families staying in the room? Thank you all

 

[chicagoshannon]

Yes, the rooms are cleaned between guests. Owners have to pay for housekeeping through their monthly dues and sometimes out of pocket if their housekeeping credits have run out. IF you arrive to a dirty room please complain!

Does anyone know where the two and three bedroom presidential suites are located? We really want a high floor and a fireworks view would be a huge bonus.

Does anyone know where the two and three bedroom presidential suites are located? We really want a high floor and a fireworks view would be a huge bonus.

All 2 and 3 bedroom presidentials are located in Tower 6 on the upper floors, starting around floor 7. 4-bedroom presidentials can be found in any tower.

Chances are excellent for a fireworks view if they have them at Hollywood Studios, not as great if they are only at Epcot and MK.
