Wyndam Grand Orlando

We are considering staying at this hotel in March 2013. Any experience with it, especially the bus service? Thanks for the help!

No Experience with the hotel, But the timeshare resort which shares the property I have stayed at.

The Property is Very nice. You can find out some details on the timeshare side which shares the amenities with the hotel in the I Loooooovveee Bonnet Creek threads.

The bus service to the Disney parks is pretty decent for an off-site hotel. Definately better than a lot of other off-site shuttles.

The big thing to be aware of is that the Grand charges a daily Self Parking (Or Valet) fee, as well as a daily "Resort Fee" which is above your nightly rate. It might be worth also looking into renting from an owner on the Timeshare side since you can often get a 1bdrm unit (or even a 2bdrm) cheaper than what you'd spend at the Grand with your nightly rate+daily fees. (There are some trade-offs though since you would be staying in a condo instead of a hotel)

Thanks for the advice, especially the parking/resort fee! I am staying there for work and was thinking about extended my trip a few days and not switching rooms. Seems like that will work well.

More comments welcome!

I was aware of the parking fee and resort fee but I was still getting it a lot cheaper than I would at a Disney resort with discounts !
Nice resort,rooms great ,restaurants nice ,pool and hot tubs nice !
Cannot give you any info on resort bus as didn't use ...enjoy !

We've booked the Wyndham Grand Orlando for 12 nights next June so I've found this thread really helpful Like the previous poster, even with the resort fee it's coming out a lot cheaper for us to stay here rather than a Disney hotel. In fact we stayed onsite last year and passed the road into Bonnet Creek everyday so I don't think we'll feel too much removed from the magic
