The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

do you hit any tolls when driving between WBC and the parks? i'm on google map and its says there are tolls between WBC and AK?
There are no tolls on Disney property or around WBC. The closest toll road to AK is Florida 429, but it doesn't go anywhere close to WBC.
 
The best I can guess is google maps is either warning us of having to pay to park or it knows that Osceola has tolls (farther down near 535) but doesn’t know where
 


We stayed here three times, each and every time was a fabulous visit. Two of the times we were fortunate enough to have the view of the resort as opposed to the parking lot. Will definitely go back
 


Does anyone know? If I book a stay at Bonnet Creek through VRBO, are there additional ‘resort fees’ and ‘parking fees’ when I get there?

hotwire has wyndham grand bonnet creek for $99, its a secret deal for march, it shows the room with the bunk beds just a fyi, i needed to add 2 days, its $154 with resort fees.
 
Can you share more details on the Florida Visitor Toll Pass program? Thanks!
The link that @Joyful2018 posted is great. We had made a reservation online before hand. There is literally this guy standing around next to a Florida Visitor Toll Pass banner with an iPad. That's how you get 'checked in'. Other than that the guy standing there will explain everything else you need to know. We did have our credit card charged for the tolls within a week or so after our trip. Really easy.

Just making sure you know you posted this to the Wyndham Bonnet Creek (timeshare) thread and not a Wyndham Grand (hotel) thread. I would hate for you to think you were staying at a timeshare with the Hotwire Wyndham Grand deal.
 
To add on to this (because this is what I did to get the $ amounts as I mentioned above, and what I do as part of my normal trip planning for any vacation) WBC to most parks in the cheapest Uber option for the time I was checking (mid-day) was $8-$13 with near immediate availability (could get you picked up and to any of the parks within 25 minutes). Modifying the search time, number of people, etc. would change this (sometimes substantially), as well as how things are going by chance when you actually need the ride. This is per trip (not round trip) so consider both directions as well as park hopping or mid-day breaks.
This is more for when you're in the moment doing it and not so much for quoting, but I find there's often a substantial difference between Lyft and Uber, and it flip flops which one is cheaper. My husband and I typically will each open one app and whichever one is cheaper for our ride, we'll hit the button and take. I feel like it's usually Lyft but sometimes isn't Uber!

On the same subject-ish. We just booked a 2br for 12/5/20-12/12/20 and will be traveling with my toddler who will be 19months old at the time. We'll only be doing a few park days total but I'm thinking I'll want to come back to the room for a nap. What's the easiest way to get back and forth...and then back and forth again. We'll have a car. I'm open to Minnievans, etc. I'm thinking the rest of the adults (there are 6 of us) would want to stay in the park while my husband or I comes back for naptime.

This is my first post. I'm so excited!

If you'll all be heading in at the same time, and have a car, probably the easiest way would be to take the car. Then when you want to go back/forth you have a carseat and don't have to worry about getting an uber/lyft with one. You only pay for parking once per day per park, so you can use the car to go back to WBC and then back to parks. If the other 6 end up wanting to come back to WBC at a different time than you at the end of the day, they can always uber back, but even with that one way uber for them I think you'll save money using your car the rest of the day.

Welcome!!!

I believe there's an app for comparing Uber and Lyft on the fly, I downloaded it a while back but never used iit so I deleted it. Might be worth looking in to for folks who like to compare.

For a nap, I think I would either Minnie Van or use the rental car because of the car seat situation. A regular Uber or Lyft won't have a car seat for your small fry. Another thought is to bring a nice comfy stroller that fully reclines, then he/she might be able to nap without leaving the parks. I'm trying to remember to way back when my DS was little and I'm recalling some naps in the stroller while we strolled around Epcot. I'm also recalling some earlier evenings, which is why having a nice big villa with a balcony is so nice - enjoy some grown up down time after bedtime :)

Napping in the stroller would be IDEAL. We'll see how it goes as he grows over the summer but as of now, he's way too interested in looking at everything to sleep. I've taken him to a few craft fairs, an RV show etc and well into his nap time he was fighting it, gettin' cranky. The kid has major FOMO. But one of the reasons we landed on the WBC is the proximity so it wouldn't be terrible for one of us to leave for a few hours and let him sleep. Would buy us a more relaxing evening. I'm thinking driving might be the best bet too.
 
Just curious about the pizza place fliers everyone says to avoid. How are they scams? Are they just super expensive or do they somehow actually scam you out of money and not deliver pizza? I can't see us ordering pizza anyway but now I'm curious!
