They won't accept building/room requests over the phone before check-in. But at check-in, you can ask for it. I've never been denied when we ask at check-in. We always ask for ground floor Tower 4 or 5 and have never been told "No".

Ken/Denise Price of Vacation Upgrades is the one I’ve used the last several years with no issues. So long as you book outside of any blackout dates you should be fine.

Either Vacation Strategy or Vacation Upgrades (Ken/Denise Price). Both of those are reputable renters. Yes, the check-in desk will attempt to send you to the sales desk for your bracelets when check-in is complete. It's your choice or not if you want to go over there as you will be handed...

Sure it can happen. Anything could happen. But if I had to have a backup plan for everything that could happen during a vacation I’d probably never travel again. Anyway my $.02. Been staying at WBC for almost 10 years now once or twice a year over that timeframe. I’ve seen two cancellations on...

I'd not worry about a backup plan unless you knowingly book during the blackout dates. Getting a reservation canceled outside of these dates is very low odds. Sure it could (and can) happen. But I think I've only read about it happening once or twice in 10 years. I'd put it at the same odds...

They don't exclude key cards at check-in as I was informed so after you check-in and they give you key cards, they will attempt to send you over to the “arm band desk” which is also the sales desk. Just tell them you need to go the restroom first and walk out. Done. They don't really hard sell...

I wonder why we haven’t been given any key cards at checkin. It’s been several years since we were given the cards. It used to be you got your key cards at the front desk and then they would send you over to sales for the “parking pass”. As people figured out they could skip the parking pass...

Interesting. I thought they got rid of key cards years ago. They used to use those before the wrist bands were a thing.

How did you get into your room without a wristband? They double as entrance gate and door keys.

When we were there a few weeks ago we got the, “we aren’t a part of a Wyndham anymore and our new timeshare presentation is different and better now from the last…”. I just declined and said “no thanks” and that was the end of it. I’m not sure what he meant by “they weren’t a part of Wyndham...

I’ve been staying at WBC for about 10 years now and have never once used the shuttle or heard of anyone who used it and was happy. It’s so much easier to simply drive to the parks yourself. Scooter breakdown and transport is pretty easy for us. But I could see that it’s also a PITA if you don’t...

Just got back from a 4 night stay at WBC. No issues at all checking in. Was able to request a tower and floor. Appears tower 5 is still closed (or at least limited) as there was lots of construction going on there. Another awesome experience booking with Ken and Denise Price at Vacation...

Has anyone actually showed up to check in and told their reservation was canceled? I remember reading in this thread a few years back it happened to someone but that was before the blackout dates were even a thing. I’m just wondering if it has happened lately. We will be there the first week of...

Thanks. That list is ridiculous to navigate. There has to be a better way to display those dates for each resort.

Where are you finding those updated dates in January? Their site still says owner priority ends Jan 2 for WBC: https://clubwyndham.wyndhamdestinations.com/us/en/owner-guide/resources/reservations/owner-priority-reservations

We have been staying at WBC for about 8 years now and we are not owners. We generally go once a year and even twice occasionally. I have thought about purchasing on the resale market since we go so often. But even with the price increases for non-owners renting, it's so much easier to simply...

Part of the problem is the job pool requires higher pay but they aren’t any better for it. For example, I own a retail gift shop in a large tourism destination. Three years ago I was paying ~$10/hr for starting employees. Now, I’m paying no less than $15/hr for new hires and some of my longer...

Oof. This ride ranks up there with the Epcot Spaceship Earth. We avoid these two rides at all costs.

We paid ~$200/night last time we stayed in a two bedroom at WBC (November '21). Rates are much higher right now.

Parking garage is right between building 4 and 5. We always ask for either of those buildings as we normally expect to have to park in the garage when returning at night. We have been staying at WBC for 9 years now. We have learned and always request a ground floor unit on building 4 or 5. It...
