Bonnet Creek vs DVC properties

Thanks for posting this. Still thinking about a trip sometime before DD2 turns 3 (gotta save money somehow, right?!) Ideally I would love to go over Thanksgiving holiday this year, but that might be pushing it, but a great time to go I think(?).

I love the idea of being able to cook for ourselves and not have to rely on Disney for every single meal if you aren't in able to get a suite on property.

We stayed at a DVC property last time, and really I can't imagine not having a kitchen now. It's not like I was whipping up full meals. But being able to do oatmeal or toast in the mornings for the girls was great. We didn't have to worry about them being hungry before we could make it to a restaurant for breakfast. It had a big fridge to keep milk, fruit, butter for toast, (and beer and diet cokes. )

For us, the kitchen is key! Fix breakfast in the morning. Cook dinner on some evenings. Love, love, love having this option.

We didn't stay at Bonnet Creek, we stayed at another nearby off-site hotel with a full kitchen, and I would never not do it that way again. It was absolutely perfect.

Love Love BC!!!

We have stayed there several times and have had a great time!

One year we did take advantage of the shuttle but it was too much of a pain with the strollers and then having to wait for the shuttle to show up to take us there and to bring us back...

It ended up being so much easier to drive and park especially since the park is so close and if we needed to come back to the room during the day for a few hours we could just hop in the car.

And it was so great to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer..I also loved that the master bedroom was huge with a great big bathroom...the other bedroom was on the other side with 2 twin beds and a really nice seperate bathroom.

If you don't mind me asking, who booked your units for you? The seller on ebay seems cheaper than the guy that is recommended on the BC thread on disboards.

We booked through Vacation Strategy for our upcoming trip. We are paying half as much as the quote from "the guy" you are referring to from the disboards. (He's from Vacation Upgrades.) Many people from disboards are now going with VS due to the price difference.

HTH!

THANK YOU! That is exactly what I was wondering.

You're welcome!

I've been researching BC for over 2 years so that decision was easy...Choosing who to book with, was more difficult. I learned about VS through a very good (IRL) friend who is very particular about everything and she was THRILLED with her experience with VS. Knowing that, plus everything I've read on disboards made me feel comfortable choosing them.
