Oh yeah, if I recall correctly, the studio DVC units have paper products and I think the 1 bedroom and up have real stuff...it has been a while, though, since we have stayed in a DVC unit.

The 1BRs at DVC units have plates and silverware, just like Bonnet Creek. All units have dishwashers as well.

Shelby Resorts will not refund my money. We booked Margaritaville St.Thomas for Christmas this year. The hurricanes damaged the property and they aren’t opening until after the new year. I don’t understand why Shelby Resorts will not refund the money. I worked for Wyndham for 10 years, I know how it works.
FYI* eBay has a ton of great timeshare rentals
 
Just back! Great trip booked through Vacation Upgrades. Ken and Denise were super easy to work with, great prices. Stayed in a 1 bedroom with my husband and 2 kids who slept on the pullout. Worked out great! LOVED having the kitchen (mickey waffles and smoothies for breakfast, super easy!), the extra space, the big bathtub was a big hit, and taking home all clean laundry was awesome.

Ordered and loved Flippers pizza, just had to run down to the door to get it, resort wont let them come in buildings. Pizza and breadsticks were awesome!

Wish we'd planned an extra day to play at the resort, we didnt check out playground or mini golf but liked the pools. Didn't love the lifeguard at the slide pool, he was really unkind to my daughter who was really too little to be on the slide but we didn't realize it until she'd already tried. So somewhat our fault but he spoke to her extremely harshly and unkindly. We just left and went back to the pool by the main lobby with the zero entry, lazy river, etc and were all good.

Definitely still felt 'in the bubble' and loved having the flexibility of a car. we were 8-20 minutes door to door to each park, super close to eat at resorts or disney springs.

ETA forgot to mention, since its much talked about here, we arrived at 11pm so the parking desk was closed. They called once the next day and asked if we talked to someone at parking desk and I just said "we're all good on that" she asked who we talked to and I was honest "We didn't go by there, but we aren't going to do all that, thanks" and she immediately got message and just said "ok, have a great day!" and we never heard from them again. No problems, no unplugging phone!
I saw so many people on these dragging tours around the resort - don't do it!!

We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I just returned last month from another great stay with Shelby Resorts at Bonnet Creek. No problems ever. I hope you get your issues worked out regarding your St. Thomas stay and come back to visit us on the Disboards if you decide to visit Disney instead of the Caribbean.
 
Checking out in the AM. Have leftover adult beverages (rum, vodka and beer) and some groceries (eggs, whataburger breakfast sausage, cranberry juice, guacamole). Please send me a message if interested. I’m in Tower 6
 
I was wondering how many pillows are in the 2 BR? We have someone in our party who will be using the sofabed and are wondering about the pillows and if we should bring extra.

There are 5 pillows on the king bed, and two each on the fulls for a total of 9 pillows on the made up beds. There may be extra in the closet - I'm just not sure since our party always travels with our own pillows from home so we have plenty. I feel certain that housekeeping could accommodate you with extra pillows if need be. Hope you have a great trip!
 
Questions- I have been to Disney 4 times before and always stayed in a resort hotel so that we get a package and the dining plan so that we do not have to cook. It has always just been myself and my nuclear family. This trip it is my extended family- 8 adults and 8 children. We were getting 4 rooms in a value and booking packages to get the dining plan. We are park people - open to close- so im not thiking there is much time to cook anyway. Have many of you stayed at WBC and gotten the dining plan with the kitchen being so nice and just not used it?

You can't do a disney dining plan if you are offsite, so you couldnt stay at WBC and get one.
I will say we didn't cook a lot of meals - but I still loved having the kitchen. We made smoothies and pancakes and took them 'to go' in the mornings, and then just ate in the park. We had a microwave to heat popcorn, a full size fridge to keep yogurts, etc in for snacks. We ate all lunches and dinners in the parks our out, so we didn't use 'meals' and I still loved having a kitchen!
 
I stand corrected! I was thinking that because it was technically ON the property you could get the dining plan. I was wrong, then I guess that WBC is out for us. I just dont think we will want to miss out on the character experiences with the kids this time. Thanks for the help :)

You don't have to be on the dining plan to eat at the restaurants, including those with character experiences. You just make reservations like you would with the dining plan and then just pay with cash or card at the end of the meal (or at the counter for counterservice) rather than scanning your magicband for meal credits.

You do realize you don't have to be on the dining plan to eat at WDW restaurants, right? And, in fact, for a lot of people, probably most people, the Dining Plan is not the most cost-effective way to eat at Disney?

With 16 people, I would be looking at villas at Windsor Hills.

I've never heard of those where would I even begin? Yes, we know you can do Disney with out the Dining Plan, but it just "feels" easier to get the package and pay before we get there and feel like vacation is already paid and done when you get there.
