If you're staying at the resort, are you allowed to use the pool and amenities at the Grand?

Can you guys help me with a few questions about WBC to disney springs? How long does it take to get there? Which parking garage is most convenient from WBC? Is it more convenient to eat here vs other non-disney fastfood?

I’m a little nervous and excited. Booked my first stay at bonnet creek, but I feel like the price I paid was too good to be true. Agoda had a deal for $86 a night..so I paid $377 for 4 nights in September. Has anyone used Agoda before? I googled them a little before booking and it seems they are owned by the same ppl as booking and Priceline. I’m also a little nervous because they call the resort “Orlando bonnet creek by ResortShare”...which is not a thing on google. I’m just hoping I don’t show up and there’s no reservation lol
Yes but I don't think they're allowed to on the slide.Do they allow children to wear life vests in the pool? My daughter has Spina Bifida, and knows how to swim, but fatigues easily because she can’t really use her legs.
Thank you!

Thank you. Not sure she would be able to get up on a slide anyway.This is always a strange rule to me. At Disney they are allowed to wear them on slides. But other water parks dont allow it either.
We arrived around 12 pm and made the requests at the desk. That is what we always do. They are more than willing to put in where you want if they have it available at check-in.How far from your check in date did you make your room request?
Thanks!
They have nickelodeon, disney channels, and I think cartoon network. They also have several HBO channels, but no PPV.Does anyone have a channel lineup for the resort? Nickelodeon? Cartoon Network? PPV Movies?
Lifevest, puddle jumpers, water wings, pool noodles, and even floats. They allow anything in the pools.Do they allow children to wear life vests in the pool? My daughter has Spina Bifida, and knows how to swim, but fatigues easily because she can’t really use her legs.

Thanks for posting this - super helpful!Just checked in today. Got here around 12 and were given a room(at 12) in the exact location we asked for.
Skipped the parking pass desk.
Here is the activity guide.

A little bit of VERY interesting and amazing info. You know how they have that small garden near the main building pool? It is there for guest use. We did the nature scavenger hunt one morning(which I highly recommend) and afterwards, they told us about the garden and that it was there for us to use as needed. Right now it just has cherry tomatoes, strawberries, herbs, lettuce, kale, and celery. The veggies aren't ready right now.
Need advice...We are staying at WBC for the first time this September(3 adults and a 4 year old). Its our first time staying offsite, and to be honest Im actually super excited to try it out! We will definitely be enjoying a few adult beverages, especially considering that the food and wine festival is happening! We plan on taking a car service from the airport and then just using Lyft/Uber for the whole trip so we dont have to worry about driving anywhere...has anyone done this? Are we crazy? Also, I know that Lyft/Uber cant drop us right at the entrance to Magic kingdom...but if I recall correctly the Minnie van can?!?! We will have my semi-elderly mom with us, so anything we can do to make her life easier is what we're aiming for! TIA!
ThankWe have stayed at WBC the last three spring breaks and have never rented a car always used Uber. Since WBC is inside the Disney bubble nothing is far and it is not that expensive to uber. WBC has a couple towers so after you order your uber using the main WBC address then type in the comment section the tower where you are staying.
When we are going to MK we usually have the uber driver drop us off at the Grand Floridian. This way we get our bags checked prior to boarding the monorail and don't have to wait in a long line at the park. You can get dropped off any of the three monorail hotels. Your daughter would enjoy riding on the monorail and it ensures your mom won't have to wait in a long bag check line at MK. Once you get off the monorail at MK you are past the bag check and can go right up and swipe your tickets.

Yes the hotel is basically part of the complex and you can use amenities at the hotel if you are at the timeshare condos including gym, which is free with your room key, and the hotel pool.
In fact you can pick up your pool towels from the hotel pool.
Is there another amenity you were wondering about because I can’t think of anything else.
I just want to confirm that it goes the other way, too. If we stay at the Grand, can we use all the WBC amenities? Some of them?
