They actually sell all kinds of floats by the pool so I'm sure most would be fine especially in the lazy river. I didn't see any lounger type floats though.

They seemed a bit pricey to me. We picked up ours at Walmart.

What's the best tower to stay at? We'll be staying the last week of April. Can we call ahead to make a request? Also, is there a way to extend our stay by one more night? We booked through tripbound.com and they said they cannot change our reservations. Is there a way to extend it directly through the resort?

The don't allow calling ahead and making requests since everyone was calling ahead and asking for the same fireworks views.

You can request nicely when you check in.

All the of resort is nice and easy to walk around. What is it that you want to request?

As for extending your trip, bonnet creek is a timeshare resort and not quite the same as a hotel. I would suggest calling them or asking about it when you check in.

I'd look into booking one more night some place else then. Bonnet Creek is good about not moving people and combining stays so it shouldn't be a problem. But I wouldn't expect to extend your stay by asking when you show up. They could be booked and you'd be out of luck.

We also asked to extend our stay in April by an extra night and was told it is a 2 night minimum and I believe the price was in the neighorhood of $240 a night so we decided to go somewhere else

We will be there at the same time and my husband is on the same boat. Ken Price from vacation upgrades told me there is no PPV. They will be showing the fights in a lot of bars around the area, it will get packed and they will likely charge a cover to get in. My husband is not very keen on that, so I am waiting to see if the ESPN boardwalk location will show it

Thanks so much for the information. My husband doesn't care about having to pay to see the fight, but he isn't keen on huge crowds! (probably why he isn't a Disney fan) I have been searching sports bars in the area but I don't know much about these places. I guess I could always call them and find out their cover prices and see if you need to pre-purchase tickets to get in. He'd be gutted if he missed the fight... I would rather be shopping.

I would allow 30 min to MK because after you park you still have tram to TTC, boat to MK, security check and tickets at gate before you are actually inside the park. It all takes time to do.
HS is almost close enough to walk to but give yourself 15 min depending of whether you catch green or red lights.
Epcot is just a little farther. I would say 20 min to be safe. By the way - at Epcot go to the entrance security check on the left as you walk up .
The monorail and resort buses all feed into the ride side security check.

Spanky, we accidentally went to the far left when going in....I was taking some photos of my Grandson and wanted the shot from over on that side...and there was no one at that entrance except my Grandson and me and the Security folks...we got in and waited for the rest of our party....they wondered how we got in so quickly...so yes, that is a good tip !!!!

Ok, weird question. Do the bedspreads have duvet covers that zip on and off?

I am considering staying at Bonnet Creek next June, 2016. I am getting some price quotes from owners on VRBO and Vacation Strategy. I am shocked to hear some of the owners not having availability already. One told me he would probably have something open up in December but couldn't promise. Now I am worried I won't find anything at a good price. We still need to decide on the exact dates because of school schedules.

I have never rented a timeshare before and I am nervous. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? I am a little fuzzy about the process.

As far as I know you cannot book until 11 months in, so that's really strange. Contact Ken Price at Vacation Upgrades, I rented from him and he and his wife Denise have been nothing short of amazing in how helpful they are. I will personally not rent from VRBO, some people have had good experiences but some people have had really bad ones. I am planning a trip for July 2016 and have not contacted Ken yet because I was pretty sure that was the rule. If you are going in peak season you may have restrictions on the dates of check-in and check out and how many days you can stay, cannot remember exactly but Ken can tell you.

You might actually be too early. I'd recommend giving Ken and Denise Price (Vacation Upgrades) a call. I believe many owners can't book until 11-months in advance, which might help explain the limited availability at this stage. We booked just under a year out, I think.

If you own Bonnet Creek points, you can book 13 months out. However, many of the super renters out that that manage points don't have them for the specific resort.

I would not worry about that too much. Bonnet Creek is a large resort and still pretty easy to rent.

Generally people who want to reserve far out will pay more, however.

Your price will also *depend* on what time of year you choose to go.

There are 3 or 4 seasons for a WBC timeshare rental.

Value season will usually cost less than ... High season or Peak season.

staceyeileen · Mar 29, 2015

If the Wyndham owner owns their points at Bonnet Creek specifically, they receive Advance Reservation Priority (ARP) which allows them to book 13 months in advance. All other point owners can book 10 months in advance.

Bottom line is that it's too early for anyone to book June 2016 for you. Hopefully that helps to ease your mind a bit.

How much have you paid with Vacation Upgrades? I looked at their site and it is like $1400 in June. I got a price of $850 from someone on VRBO, but I waited too late and now his points for June 2016 are gone, but he is the one who said try again in December. He sent me an attachment explaining the process and has good reviews. I am assuming his points are spoken for but he will have points from others that he can deal with. Another told me he only has June 26 2016 and his price is $1050. I don't want to go that close to 4th of July. Another person told me he can't do anything till 10 months out.

So I guess I should just chill.

There is no way that ANYONE can have already booked a reservation or even check availability for June 2016 yet. I'd question anyone that claims otherwise.

Leaving for Bonnet Creek next month. Few questions that I am hoping don't require reading all posts.

1. Do they offer tubes for free at the lazy river?
2. What size/type filter do the coffee makers use?
3. Does the shuttle run to DTD? We want to see Avengers at the movie theater so time would be a factor but heard traffic is ridiculous so was thinking shuttle
4. Best Pizza place to order from

Thanks guys!

CyndiLooWho · Mar 29, 2015

1. Lazy river tubes are free
2. We don't do coffee
3. No.
4. We have never ordered pizza from there, but there is a pizza place on site.
