Is it true that Bonnet Creek Resort is in Lake Buena Vista and the Grand is in Orlando?
Thanks! I’ll request tower 4! Does anyone else wonder why disney doesn’t extend emh to wbc in the shadow of SWGE opening? I just saw where they gave two other resorts privileges recently

ARE THOSE TIMES SHARES OR HOTELS?
I CAN'T IMAGAINE WITH ALL THE DVC PLACES DISNEY IS BUILDING THAT THEY WOULD WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT WBC
We are considering Bonnet Creek in June. Our daughter uses a wheelchair full time. She doesn’t need anything special in the room, but we were wondering about handicapped parking at BC, and if there is any way to request a specific location once we get there so she doesn’t need to travel so far outside.
My perspective (as someone who does not travel with a wheelchair user)... There are roundabouts at each tower where you can pull up to load/unload passengers from your vehicle. When we traveled with a mobility scooter this was nice because we could load the mobility scooter without having to go all the way to the parking spot. There are handicap spots at each tower but I don't know if they are adequate for the number of vehicles who require them, I'm sorry. You can request a certain location when you check in but I am not sure if any location is better than the others for parking access. Tower 6 is connected to the hotel tower, so the deck can be accessed without having to go outside. Some folks like that option, but I think tower 6 can be hard to get in a deluxe unit since many of the units there are presidential units.
We were hoping to get her close to the Lazy River, or if possible a fireworks view since she has PTSD and can’t do fireworks crowds.
I've never been to WBC, but the pictures of the pools and lazy river make me think it would make a good resort-only vacation. How crowded does the pool area get? Is it likely to be a mass of people, and I'll be playing a real life "Where's Waldo" to find my kids? I'll be solo with a 4th and 5th grader, and then my 3-year-old. Does WBC have lifeguards?
Vacation Strategy called me today to let me know that we’ve been upgraded from a 2 to a 3 bedroom unit...for the last 8 nights of our 11 night stay! That was a surprise. They wanted to make sure that we’re ok with the fact that we would have to move rooms mid stay, although they are apparently trying to get us into a 3BR for the whole stay.
We had been interested in a 3 bedroom to begin with but there wasn’t one available when I booked, so that was exciting news. We’re travelling with the kids and my mom, so everyone having their own space for most of the trip seems worth the trade off of moving rooms.
Hello - I was wondering if you could tell me your favorite tower and why (fireworks, close to pool/main tower, etc?). We will be staying at the WBC in November with our two boys (who love to swim) and a set of grandparents. We have some planned rest days so we will get to enjoy the grounds. I know the walk isn't far to anywhere, but just trying to get my bearings for what we'd like and what to expect. Also is there a place where it shows what buildings have been remodeled? We're staying in a 2-bedroom. Thanks for all your help!
