What’s the Difference between Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek and Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek?

[p8ntldy]

We are staying at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek in September. First time going to this resort. Celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary. Just want to relax for a few days and not visit parks. What’s the difference between the Grand Wyndham Bonnet Creek and the Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek?

Club Wyndham is the timeshare, and occupies all but one of the towers. It has condos from one to four bedrooms, each with a full kitchen, living room, and washer/dryer. There are no resort fees, and parking is included. We've stayed at the timeshare side several times, and enjoyed each stay.

The Wyndham Grand is a full-service hotel, and occupies one tower in the complex. These are typical hotel rooms, though they do have some suites. There is a resort fee, and they charge for parking.

All pools are open to guests of either side, though I think each might have their own workout facility? I can't remember that part. And of course you'd be welcome at any of the restaurants, etc.

Thanx so much for explaining. Is it possible to walk from the property to a Disney hotel or Disney Springs? Everything looks so close, but I doubt there are sidewalks.

NOPE.

Bonnet Creek sidewalks don't even make it out to Buena Vista Drive. There are no sidewalks on the Disney Springs side of Buena Vista Drive except for small sections to get folks to the pedestrian bridges. And to the west no sidewalks until you get to the Speedway/Boardwalk/DHS area.

Disney does not offer much sidewalk at all because they do not want you walking, if you try you will likely be stopped by security. Just not a safe option.

If you stay in WBC Club you can reserve and pay for bus shuttles to all areas. If you stay at the Grand the bus is included in your resort fee. They are not the same bus service. Or you can drive where you want to go OR use ride share.

No. There is a fence (and some bush-whacking) separating Bonnet from CBR, and the sidewalk ends before you get out to Buena Vista Drive. If memory serves, there is a bus stop near the end of Chelonia, and the sidewalk goes out to there, but no further. There are also no sidewalks (or even bike lanes) on Buena Vista.

Thanx for clarifying that! Ride share or shuttle works just fine.
