Yes, I'm a fan of Disney, but I wouldn't call myself a Disney fanatic. But a good friend of mine is. Even living in St. Louis she and her family have managed to have season passes many years. To them, the 15 hour drive from St. Louis to Orlando is nothing. I'm more the fly there, stay in a timeshare off property, spend 1 or 2 days at Disney, explore other areas, and enjoy the sunshine and pool type of person. But I was fascinated at the idea of seeing Disney through her eyes. So we decided on 5 nights in April (I have wanted to see the Flower Festival at Epcot) and I booked us the time in a 2 bedroom unit at Wyndham Bonnett Creek, we got fairly inexpensive flights on Southwest airlines, I booked a car, and off we went.
Bonnett Creek is, or is practically, on Disney property, right across from Downtown Disney. We managed to stay there before they started instituting a mandatory daily fee to cover things like their shuttle (which we didn't use). (next time we went they had eliminated the daily fee. I guess they realized charging that wasn't a good idea) But the property was very nice. This time we were in building T2.
My room--- the master bedroom
I don't know how they got this sheet on the bed, but needless to say, it wouldn't stay on. I even called housekeeping and had another sheet brought to me. It was the same. No way is this a king sized sheet! Other than that, the unit was very nice. I ended up just using the flat sheet as a bottom sheet.
Coni's room. Her daughter happened to be managing a restaurant in Tampa at the time so she got some time off and joined us for most of the time. So they shared the 2nd bedroom.
Our diningroom and kitchen.
View towards the check in building and great heated lazy river from our deck in building T2.
from the lanai doors --- couch on right, 2nd bedroom behind couch; master bedroom to the left; front door with blue bag on door knob; 2nd bathroom and laundry to the right of front door (looking at door)---that bathroom was also attached to the 2nd bedroom making it a suite, too.
This is a blog of some of the trips I've taken. My trips are listed by year and by location on the right side of my blog. Click on them to go to specific places.
