Great pictures and a terrific review! We also love Bonnet Creek and will be there again in February! Can't wait!
Totally agree with you on the food options...wish they had more. But at least they have a new pool bar (very important you know).
We are a family of five and you really cannot beat the resort, price or location. I also love that I can pack way less and come home with clean clothes since there are washer/dryers in the unit. Just throw a load in the morning and dry it at night.
We've been lucky enough to have fireworks views in the past that were so good that my kids would lay in their beds and watch them at both Epcot and MK if they didn't want to "walk" to the balcony. How spoiled are they?
Is the dancing lady still at the gate? She is certainly very welcoming!
Thanks for the great review! Love hearing about other people's experiences!
Here are the resort maps. The first one is old and not all buildings are shown. They used to call the buildings by numbers, and now they are by names. The second one is more accurate. Building 1 is Torre de la Tierra and that is where we stayed both times. Also, they had no completed the buildings or pools on the far right side of the complex. I don't know their estimated date of completion. Anyone?
Here are the floorplans from bonnetcreek.com. More pictures on their website.
1 bedroom. Looks very spacious!
2 bedroom/2 bath. It's really a huge place.
3 bedroom/2 bath
4 bedroom/4 bath
According to Ken's rental agreement, if you cancel at least 20 days out, you get your money back minus $99. If you cancel closer to your trip, you forfeit your entire rental amount.
I went to their website to check out availability in late August/early Sept. and it's showing it blocked off or booked. Is that possible or are they doing renovations?
Only if your car can double as a submarine---the water table in central Florida is *very* close to ground level---that's why Magic Kingdom is built on the "second floor"---the utliidors are at ground level, because building it underground would mean they would be permanently flooded.In hindsight, don't you think they should of made that parking garage underground?
Wyndham Bonnet Creek is entirely a timeshare property---rentals are available only if owners do not book their time, or owners turn over their time to the company to rent out for them. It will be much easier to book directly from an owner.I went to their website to check out availability in late August/early Sept. and it's showing it blocked off or booked.

I just booked our reservation for February, today. They told me that we could cancel up to 72 hours in advance, and still get a full refund. Anything after 72 hours, then we forfeit the entire amount.
I called the BCR direct and made the reservation, so maybe it depends on who you book your reservation with.
I really enjoyed looking at your photos. It looks like a great place!!

Would anyone know where I could get a copy of the menu/prices for the new pool bar...Escudo's?
If you are interested in renting. I highly recommend Ken Price. http://www.vacationupgrades.com
He is great to work with.
I am a little nervous about renting from an owner. What is the risk involved? Can they take the check and then not book the room?
Does he rent the 3 and 4 br also? When I look under pricing it just lists 1 and 2 br. We would need 2 br unless we have family that comes along too....
What about his cancellation policy? I didnt see anything about it on his site. I am probably missing things, though. Thanks

I would like to know the same thing. Also, does anyone know how far out you should book. I am needing a place for Dec, but I am in a fix. I want to stay here unless Disney offers free dining, (which they prob wont) because that would save me even more. I can't remember when it was offered this year but I believe it was in July or August. Do you think if I waited that long to book they would still have rooms?
I would think so, but it depends on when in December you want to go.
