We've had two three bedroom units right on top of each other (1st and 2nd floor), which was kind of a pain because they were at the end of the hallway and if you went out the stairwell, you couldn't get back in on the first floor, so to go between them you had to go all the way to the elevators in the middle of the building...Has anyone ever rented more than 1 unit at WBC and gotten them close together? I have a group of 6 women going on Monday. I rented a 3 bedroom deluxe and realized a few of us would have to share a bed. I was able to book a 2nd 3 bedroom so we can all have our own room but I really don't want to be too far away from each other!
1. 4pm is the official check-in time, but your room might be ready earlier when you check in, it really just depends on how busy and booked the resort is.Check in time? Our plane lands at 11, typically when we will we be able to get into our room?
Is signage clear to find the check in building? Is there an onsite counter service type food place?
Glad you had a great time. If you mind me asking hw much was Uber from the resort to MK or Epcot?
Staying at WBC in late June. Coming from the airport what is the best supermarket to stop at on the way?
We have to been to Disney lots, and have always stayed off-site at the Sheraton Vistana Villages and love it! It has everything we are looking for in a resort, so we have a hard time trying a new place. But we were thinking of trying the Wyndham Bonnet Creek for our next trip at the end of February.
However, every website I look at shows no availability for a 2 bedroom during that timeframe. I have emailed Vacation Strategy and they say they have availability. Is this normal that they would have access to rooms, while no other places do?
Also, I read on this thread about their good cancellation policy. It looks like if we cancel within 1-2 months it is only a credit and we don't get our money back?
Any advice or help is appreciated!!
I also see some listings on VRBO, is that a good place to try or better to steer clear?
WE rented through VRBO as no one else had availability for our after Xmas dates with short notice.We have to been to Disney lots, and have always stayed off-site at the Sheraton Vistana Villages and love it!

Yes, with the way rooms are rented at WBC, it's not weird for them to have availability and for someone else not to have it. I've only ever used Vacation Strategy, they've always beaten Vacation Upgrades' prices, and we've been very happy with them. I also check Tripbound's website, but have not used them yet.
Glad to hear we should be good with Vacation Strategy. Should we jump on this and book? Does other places usually have availability popping up in the couple months beforehand?
Also, how does it work with Vacation Strategy, do we just checkin at the desk like a normal reservation?
Do they take any requests for building, location, etc? If so, any recommendations?
This is old, and I'm sure it's been addressed already. But we got a unwanted upgrade at the Wyndham in the Smokies and we were told that we'd have to cancel the reservation and re-book to go back down. Even when we checked in they told us they had room, but couldn't downgrade us back to what we paid for.It could be the owner you are renting from had the room upgraded by Wyndham and may not be able to "downgrade" you because the 1BR may no longer be available. You'll just have to see if it is still available.
Noooo! Run away, run away! Unplug the phone and you'll be all set. You can swing by the activities desk either in tower 5 or across the breezeway from the check-in desk and pick up an activities schedule (and that's where you check out pool towels as well)Arrived today. Do we want the welcome packet and schedule? It’s with the parking pass people. And everyone’s said to avoid them....
