Just back this morning from a week in a 2BR Deluxe. Check-in was easy and our room was available when we arrived just past noon. We did get a parking pass, but declined the owner's breakfast. I know that they called multiple times to try to get us to schedule, but we did not answer the phone. And on our last full day, when I did try to answer, the phone handset did not work, so we had the perfect excuse!
This is our 3rd stay at WBC in 6 yrs. It is starting to show just a little bit of age, at least in our unit. The colors and style haven't changed since our first visit, and they are a little tired. I also dislike the tops of the iron chairs for the bar, which stick out far enough that I run into them the first few days no matter how far in we move the chairs.
We were 2nd floor, Tower 2. We got our requested lake view, which was partially obscured by the trees, but that meant people on the path couldn't really see us on the balcony. That worked great for us. The unit was very clean, and all the furniture was in good shape. The "bubble tub" in the master worked very well, there was plenty of water for 4 people to get hot showers. The large appliances were once again the most cost effective on the market, which meant absolutely no bells and whistles and loud washer and dishwasher. The dryer was very slow - most loads took two cycles to dry.
We do some limited cooking during our stays, so the kitchen is important to us. The kitchen was clean and easy to use. All the countertop appliances appeared to be in good order, and were Cuisinart, which is the Wyndham standard. We did not use any of them this trip, but saw no obvious problems with them. There seemed to be fewer cooking items this trip. 1 large and 1 small pot with lid, 1 medium frying pan no lid, one dutch oven no lid, 2 - 9x13 pans (one glass, one metal), 1 cookie sheet, 1 covered glass casserole, 1 colander, 1 HUGE glass salad bowl. Measuring spoons and 1 glass liquid measure, but no dry measuring cups. Full place settings for 8, with glassware in multiple sizes. Limited cooking utensils. We did use all the large appliances, with only one issue. The oven door did not seal, which almost made it useless. Fortunately, the way the oven is positioned, pulling out the utensil drawer pushed the door in well enough to bake. Baking was limited to Texas Toast, but still.. We prepared simple dishes - pasta, hot dogs, sandwiches - and the kitchen was fine for those things. There were no grill utensils, but there were very nice gas grills near each of the towers. I never saw all of them in use at any one time, but did note that there were normally fewer tables than grills in each grill pavilion.
This trip we did not use the pools or lazy rivers, which looked more crowded than on previous visits. We did use the walking path several nights, and it's a nice walk around the lake. We did not even set foot in the main bldg except to check in and out, and we did not use the food service. We cooked in 3 nights, had breakfast in the room each day, and made sandwiches in the room the one day we were not at a park.
Overall, this was another good stay, and my complaints above are very minor. Everything worked, and the space is awesome. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Orlando.
