jarmor Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 For the first time since Z-Force was at SFoG I decided to tag along with my family on a trip to disney world. Now me being the "I wanna stay onsite wherever I go" was kinda hesitant about going because once the details got down to where we were staying I kinda almost said no (actually I did say no until I realized how much the tickets would be due to military status ) . So im leaving out on tuesday 06/09 and staying til 06/12 but if I can find a room at atleast the all-stars im staying an extra day. Well my first question about this sure to be hell of uh event is what the heck is Bonnet Creek. The website is http://www.wyndhambonnetcreek.com/ . Well, I guess I shouldn't ask what it is cause I can basically read but apparently some family members have several condo timeshares there. What I would like to know from you guys is have any of you experienced this place. Is it nice? Do I need to bring my own hygiene crap? How is the park shuttle there? It seems my family goes all the time but I need a "real" review/report from people who know what to expect and what is acceptable. Any feedback is appreciated!
Lenaapple1974 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Oh yes, military has some nice discounts this year! This looks like your basic condo type of place. I never stay on site. I ususally rent a villa for a week somewhere close. The thing is, you have all the luxuries of home. Usually it includes, besides the rooms, a full kitchen (although from what I am reading, may not), and washer/dryer, two bathrooms (depending on how many bedrooms it has). Of course you bring your own toiletries. There may be the normal complimentary stuff, but how big is that really? I say relax, and enjoy! You may never want to go to a normal hotel again! I know I don't! Best place to check up on this place is Trip Advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34515-d488025-Reviews-Wyndham_Bonnet_Creek_Resort-Orlando_Florida.html Just do not always believe the bad when reading stuff here. Some people get mad about stupid stuff, and make a big fuss for nothing.
jarmor Posted June 6, 2009 Author Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion I was reading some and several said BED BUGS!!! OMG just the thought of it...
Not For Sale Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 If you are/have been in the military, why don't you go to Shades of Green instead? I hear it's very nice. It's also on property, but like Bonnet Creek, it's not technically owned by Disney.
Fallen Heretic Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I was just given shares at Bonnet Creek as a present. I havent stayed there yet. Im hoping it works out well.
jarmor Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Ok at bonney creek wyhnam or however you spell it...been here sonce like 130 any my family feels the need to wait for the rooms to be ready instead of going to the parks THEN coming back to the rooms! I would have been awol BUT the tickets have to activated at the ticket booth at disney even though its paid for. I'm not a professional theme park ceo but really...what if someone brought the ticket for their kids and are overseas? I really don't think its pratical especially of the tickets are paid for and can only be brought by military personel. My plans today for the kid and me is to go to Epcot today...or what's left of the day, and check it out. I'm screwed since is is only 40 inches and 5 years old but oh well...its gonna work out! Tune in later for more rambling, opinions, and pictures. Oh yeah, feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, picture request....anything!
jarmor Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Its now 817 and got to the park round 6...yeah I know. Only been on 1 ride and that was the living seas thing with nemo. It was good for the kid but meh...in a 60 min line for test track and it looks like this is gonna be the last ride of the night and really the first real ride lol I'm gonna try to make it to mission since its right next door. Soaring had a 80 min wait. Oh yeah we did take some shots with a good amount of the classic disney characters though! Will post those shots when I get back to the unit...
jarmor Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 As soon as we were exiting test track it was ending. The single riders line is a joke lol I was thinking they keep you a sigle rider til the end but that ended before the pre show (which I don't remember seeing when I last rode it. My thrill seeking cousin and the kid rode it. They loved every moment of it. I figured I would take them on the fastest ride on the resort if that's all we could ride!
jarmor Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 At magic kingdon mow and having a blast...nothing over 20 min wait (so far) and its bringing back my childhood! For some reason my pc is saying usb port overload so no pictures right now...but I gotta say haunted mansion is like an ultimate dark ride. It made the kid start crying lol...oops looking at peter pans flight it has a 50 min wait...sucks for them!
Lenaapple1974 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 That is too funny. I can't believe Peter Pan's wait is that long! NEXT! LOL. Definitely check out Mickey's Philharmagic! It is awesome! Ride Space Mountain also, I think that is going into rehab, if it isn't already.
jarmor Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 For some reason most of the fark rides have long waits...the kid got over his fears of the mansion and we went back on it. Waiting on big thunder right now. Today the lines aren't that long for the adult/teen attractions. I guess after this we're gonna check out the philharmagic!
jarmor Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 OMG OMG that dole soft serve pineapple float was out of this world and for just 4.50! Does anyone know if it is avaliable at animal kingdom? I couldn't find it at hollywood studios for anything!
moinab Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 <-- Pineapple float at MK. As far as I know, that's the only place that serves them. Peter Pan almost always has a ridiculously long wait. Glad you're having fun!
Lenaapple1974 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 OH NO! What is wrong with it? I definitely understand about a screwed up camera. That has happened on two of my trips to Orlando. I did however pack back ups. But besides the camera malfunctions... how do you like it so far? Has the hotel been what the reviews say or is it better? Is it as "on site" as you would have hoped for? Sorry for all the questions. LOL
atem122 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah at Disneyland CA the only dole stand is next to the tiki room so I assume that's the only place you can get them there, sad you missed Illuminations though, if you're a total firework show dork you need to go back one night and check it out, it didnt win the gold ticket for nothing
jarmor Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 ok ok...I said pictures but im gonna get them off today since for some reson the usb cord is doing something to my pc but I will continue the PTR from the view point of Jahiem...my son, kinda lol. Should be interesting! Hi, im jahiem and as you can see im pooped! I had a wonderful day at Disneys Studios. But let me tell you how my trip all started...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That is too funny. I can't believe Peter Pan's wait is that long! NEXT! LOL. Definitely check out Mickey's Philharmagic! It is awesome! Ride Space Mountain also, I think that is going into rehab, if it isn't already. it been in refurb for nearly 1 1/2 months. It and the TTA are closed until Winter 2009. Looks like your having alot of fun to
monsterfan99 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 OMG OMG that dole soft serve pineapple float was out of this world and for just 4.50! Does anyone know if it is avaliable at animal kingdom? I couldn't find it at hollywood studios for anything! There is a resort that also has Dole Whips at WDW (Poly) but other that it is only at the Magic Kingdom. I'm told that the orange flavor one is really good as well.
jarmor Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Ok here we go...let me give you some history. The kid found out he was going to disney, him and his mom's boyfriend's son...(yeah confusing right) but at the last minute the son couldnt go so it was gonna be just the kid and my family. I told him he was going to "school" and that the disney trip was canceled lol. I told him it wasnt like his preschool it was college and you have to stay there until you finish. Well i'll let him finish his story... First up) Pre-arrival, the arrival and EPCOT. Next up Magic Kingdom! Im sleepy...see ya later big shinny ball! Time to go back to my college school...

But now he is saying im going to school! What is he talking about! Thats his...well...I really dont understand who he is but he is changing the tire while I fall off the other one...
