The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

If you're staying at the resort, are you allowed to use the pool and amenities at the Grand?

Yes the hotel is basically part of the complex and you can use amenities at the hotel if you are at the timeshare condos including gym, which is free with your room key, and the hotel pool.

In fact you can pick up your pool towels from the hotel pool.

Is there another amenity you were wondering about because I can’t think of anything else.
 
Can you guys help me with a few questions about WBC to disney springs? How long does it take to get there? Which parking garage is most convenient from WBC? Is it more convenient to eat here vs other non-disney fastfood?

Takes about 10 minutes or so. There are 3 parking area, with the first the surface lots on the Westside followed by the parking garages. If you are going to the springs in the evening on a weekend, or even some weekdays, sometimes the garages are full, which can be an irritation.

There are many dining options at the Springs, so I would suggest doing some research about where you want to go, or make a reservation, before blindly going over there. It is a massive place with lots of crowds.
 
And to piggyback on UpatNoon’s great advice...

All the parking garages are in a row on the same road. I find Lime most convenient for the shops and restaurants I frequent. And no, it is much more convenient to visit “regular” fast food, in my opinion, than to go to Disney Springs but it’s an entirely different experience. You’ll be spending additional time on parking and potentially in traffic, possibly paying a bit more - but it’s the Disney bubble. It’s a different experience. All I can say is try it for yourself to see if you like it!
 


I’m a little nervous and excited. Booked my first stay at bonnet creek, but I feel like the price I paid was too good to be true. Agoda had a deal for $86 a night..so I paid $377 for 4 nights in September. Has anyone used Agoda before? I googled them a little before booking and it seems they are owned by the same ppl as booking and Priceline. I’m also a little nervous because they call the resort “Orlando bonnet creek by ResortShare”...which is not a thing on google. I’m just hoping I don’t show up and there’s no reservation lol

A few days (like literally a week) before my stays with a new booking engine/service I will call WBC to confirm the stay is in their system in my name. If you call further in advance than that your “host”/renter may not have transferred the reservation into your name, so no need to fear. They need to have options in case you cancel on them, so it makes sense. But it’s always nice to hear the reassuring, “Yes, Ms. Guimond, we have you arriving on the 15th and staying 7 nights” or whatever to put your mind at ease!
 
Do they allow children to wear life vests in the pool? My daughter has Spina Bifida, and knows how to swim, but fatigues easily because she can’t really use her legs.

Thank you!

How far from your check in date did you make your room request?

Thanks!
We arrived around 12 pm and made the requests at the desk. That is what we always do. They are more than willing to put in where you want if they have it available at check-in.

Does anyone have a channel lineup for the resort? Nickelodeon? Cartoon Network? PPV Movies?
They have nickelodeon, disney channels, and I think cartoon network. They also have several HBO channels, but no PPV.

Lifevest, puddle jumpers, water wings, pool noodles, and even floats. They allow anything in the pools.
 
We just returned this week from a 7 night stay. As always I was blown away by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. A couple of times we had to call housekeeping for extra pillows and once for trash bags. They were there within minutes. At Disney you usually wait for at least an hour for things. The resort was impeccably clean and maintained. Magnolia trees are starting to bloom, we bird watched every morning from our balcony. So many different species of water birds.

A little bit of VERY interesting and amazing info. You know how they have that small garden near the main building pool? It is there for guest use. We did the nature scavenger hunt one morning(which I highly recommend) and afterwards, they told us about the garden and that it was there for us to use as needed. Right now it just has cherry tomatoes, strawberries, herbs, lettuce, kale, and celery. The veggies aren't ready right now.
 
Just checked in today. Got here around 12 and were given a room(at 12) in the exact location we asked for.

Skipped the parking pass desk.

Here is the activity guide.

OMG I meant to post about the garden when I got back the beginning of this month but completely slipped my mind. When I walked around the first morning I started talking with the gardener and he said guests were welcome to anything in garden but I think two items they use at restaurants I think mint and parsley. We used some of the lettuces for our sandwiches.

Every time we go to WBC it just keeps getting better.
 
Need advice...We are staying at WBC for the first time this September(3 adults and a 4 year old). Its our first time staying offsite, and to be honest Im actually super excited to try it out! We will definitely be enjoying a few adult beverages, especially considering that the food and wine festival is happening! We plan on taking a car service from the airport and then just using Lyft/Uber for the whole trip so we dont have to worry about driving anywhere...has anyone done this? Are we crazy? Also, I know that Lyft/Uber cant drop us right at the entrance to Magic kingdom...but if I recall correctly the Minnie van can?!?! We will have my semi-elderly mom with us, so anything we can do to make her life easier is what we're aiming for! TIA!

We have stayed at WBC the last three spring breaks and have never rented a car always used Uber. Since WBC is inside the Disney bubble nothing is far and it is not that expensive to uber. WBC has a couple towers so after you order your uber using the main WBC address then type in the comment section the tower where you are staying.

When we are going to MK we usually have the uber driver drop us off at the Grand Floridian. This way we get our bags checked prior to boarding the monorail and don't have to wait in a long line at the park. You can get dropped off any of the three monorail hotels. Your daughter would enjoy riding on the monorail and it ensures your mom won't have to wait in a long bag check line at MK. Once you get off the monorail at MK you are past the bag check and can go right up and swipe your tickets.

Thanks so much! I think this is the best bet for us...its vacation after all, and I think this is the least stressful option:)
 
Hello! We are headed to WBC in November and I am starting to sketch out what dining looks like for us. We are going to to do 2 'resort days' what are your nearby favorite places to get dinner? Thank you!
 
Disney Springs is very close by. Also the Epcot resorts: Boardwalk and Yacht and Beach Club. When we are having resort days I make a big breakfast then spend the day by the pool. We will then go over and have dinner at one of the monorail resorts and watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach at the Polynesian. Or go over to Disney Springs for an early dinner so we can be back at the resort in time for evening activities. We love the Hawaiian performance at Bonnet Creek as well as dueling pianos!

I just want to confirm that it goes the other way, too. If we stay at the Grand, can we use all the WBC amenities? Some of them?

Our friends stayed at the Grand and they used all the pools in the complex (hotel and timeshares).

Maybe someone else can answer if the hotel room key can get you into the main building area of the timeshares that houses the pool tables and allows you to use the mini golf and shuffle board stuff. I'm not going to assume and we haven't asked about that. Everything is so relaxed on property no one seemed to care which place you were staying.
