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!

We stay in August for three weeks every year and it never feels full but I thinks that's because everyone is at the parks. I don't take a chance and book as soon as I have my flights and because my stay is for so long and I don't want to have to check out and stay somewhere else then check back in. I always book with Vacation Upgrades who are fantastic.

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.

We use to request main building and stayed in it three times but now request tower 4 and are always lucky. Both buildings are great.

Thanks - I have now booked for 2 weeks from August 6th! We will stay 4 nights in a DVC studio, 1 night at Universal (to get the "fast pass") and then 14 nights in Bonnet Creek. I was worried that it would be too crowded so glad to hear that you haven't found it too bad!

That's great. We arrive on 7th for 22 nights. We plan one night in the middle at Portifino Bay at Universal to get fast passes but don't check out of BC. My husband always comes back and my son and I stay at Universal then husband meets us next day again at midday. he cant handle two early mornings!! When I compare the pools at BC to SSR, they are empty. I love SSR but it was always very busy in August.

Thank you @Fabnsab! Much appreciated!

What is the latest on how to do a room request? Can you call the hotel directly with a request or can you still just only do it at check in? How long before checking in should I call, if so.

 

[Fabnsab]

I called in advance to try and they told me at check in only. We checked in at 6pm yesterday and asked for a high floor and a water view. We got the high floor but he said there were no water views.

If we decide to go back to Disney wee are thinking about Bonnet Creek; we did in property so I have an MDE account and Magic bands. Can you link new tickets to old magic bands on MDE or does that have to be done in the park? I liked the ease of the MB vs. the card tickets. Less likey to loose them. Just wondering what I'd need to do to accomplish this,

I have not read all 76 pages (I tried, I really did). If I am interested in staying at BC beginning late May 2017 (week of Memorial Day) for 10 nights when is the best time to begin getting quotes from the various companies listed on the 1st page? We are also looking at Windsor Hills but if it doesn't cost too much more then the extra pools and being closer to the parks would be better for our plans. Thanks for any assistance.

You can do it in MDE. We did it last trip.

We just booked our first BC stay for this Sept/Oct through RCI in a 2 br deluxe. We are excited as I have been wanting to stay here for awhile. So what I understand is you can't make any room requests till check in? Do they not do room assignments? Is it better to get there early or mid afternoon? We have a one night stay at BLT the night before and then plan to go to MK at open, but DH and I could prob get up really early and go over to BC to check in if that would be better.

For those of you that have booked with Vacation Strategy, when is final payment typically due?
We are under 60 days now (51!) but haven't received an invoice for final payment. My inlaws are very generously paying for the room for everyone going and I would like them to be able to pay soon while our dollar is doing a little better that it has been.

We haven't gotten one either. I emailed them asking about and they replied within minutes.

"You may make your final payment online through the emails we send you towards the end of March or you can call and make a payment over the phone."

We are also about 60 days out

I don't remember. However if you know approx. how much is left owing, they can pay it before an invoice comes, while the dollar is not too bad then square up on any smaller amount left owing when you get the invoice.

 

[pigletto]

Thank you for the replies. I will talk to my inlaws and suggest they call in soon.

Just got ours a while back at 41 days out, it varied over the years from 60 days to 35 days.
