We’ve decided to stay at Bonnet Creek, and we’re very excited – so many positive comments on this board! I’m sure it’s a good choice. However, the large number of comments on this board are both good and bad. I have the impression that things have changed over the years, and I’m not quite sure what’s “old news”; thus, I’d like to ask a handful of questions:
Reservations can be made 10 months out, right?
What’s this thing about arrivals being only certain days? We’d like to arrive on Friday … stay 8 nights … check out the following Sunday.
I’ve seen a number of comments about larger units being difficult to obtain (for non-owners). Realistically, if we want to travel in late August or September (just after school starts, but avoiding Labor Day – we want warm weather and value season prices) and we make reservations 10 months out, are we going to have a problem getting a 3-bedroom?
There’s no way to get a 3-bedroom with 3 king-sized beds, is there?
We are planning a trip for us and our adult children (no actual children involved); we will have 2-3 cars. Any problem with multiple cars for one reservation /one condo? Parking at the resort is free, right?
How’s the wifi?
I’ve read that the pools close at 10:00 pm … is this enforced? We often enjoy hot tubbing late.
What’s the current “gift” for attending the timeshare spiel?
I’ve read all sorts of things about shuttle costs. I’m thinking that the Bonnet Creek shuttle used to be free, but now there’s a cost. If so, what’s the current cost?
When using the shuttle to go to the Magic Kingdom, where is the drop-off? I mean, does the resort shuttle drop off at the Ticket-Transportation Center or just outside the park gates like the Disney resort buses?
What’s the best way to go to Disney Springs in the evening? I know resort shuttles don’t make that trip, but it would be possible to go to the Magic Kingdom /Ticket Transportation Center and then pick up a bus – I’m hoping there’s an easier way. We wouldn’t want to drive our own cars 1) because of parking 2) because of drinking. We are not opposed to the occasional Uber or Lyft … are they quick, and what does that tend to cost from Disney Springs?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
