My wife and I are thinking of doing a last-minute Disney vacation in 2 - 4 weeks (mid-Feb/early-Mar) with our two kids (3 & 5) and my parents. Shooting for 5 nights (Mon-Sat). Wife thinks we HAVE to stay on property, but I don't we'll be able to find availability in what we need (wanting 2 - 3 bedroom). Found a 3br/2ba VRBO condo in Bonnet Creek (Wyndham timeshare) that lines up well.
This seems like a good enough area to access the parks (we'll have our own car). Is Bonnet Creek actually a decent area that will work well for a Disney vacation?
My general research seems to say "yeah, pretty good," but is there something I'm not thinking about with it? (I know we'll have to drive/shuttle in every day, but would probably drive anyways unless on Monorail.)
We're planning to come back in late September for Halloween, so not too stressed about hitting everything perfectly this go-round, FWIW.
Or should we try to work the DVC-rental circuit to see if we can find something that will work so we the kids can get the "full Disney experience" for their first trip? (I did find a dedicated OKW reservation for rent in the forum that hits our 5-night goal, but it's just a 2br).
