I'm with you draybook. I have always said "NEVER stay off property". In march I met my sister and we stayed at a downtown disney hotel for $100 a night, beautiful room right across from downtown disney and the bus service was great. half the price of what I usually pay at disney. Is the Bonnet Creek resort the one that is between the disney Caribbean resort and downtown disney? Very well located if that is the one I am thinking of. I will check into that. Janine

I would consider checking out Garden Grocer (https://www.gardengrocer.com/). We used it last trip and it was really convenient. I guess if you are driving, you may simply want to get stuff on your own though?

Man I'm really surprised that it's only $300 cheaper for a 10 or 11 night stay, especially with it being only $85 per night. I'm not the biggest fan of Disney hotels, sorry, I've stayed at POR, Caribbean Beach, and maybe one other. I travel a lot for work and used to stay in the Disney area for about four years, so I enjoyed those hotels more than the Disney ones. My favorite is the Hilton Bonnet Creek right across the street, so I can say the Wyndham appears to be very nice but I've never stayed there. It's definitely a newer hotel though and I think you would enjoy it.

I've stayed here 3 times. The only downside is the transportation if you don't have your own car. Everything else is FANTASTIC though and blows Disney out of the water because of the price.

Did you decide on hotel yet? Just curious if you decided and stayed at the Wyndham resort and what you thought?
Well, we're looking at staying there next year, to get the most out of the APs we're upgrading to this year. This year we're staying at POFQ, since we already had this bounce back booked.

I'm glad I found this post. We are seriously considering staying at Bonnet Creek next year. My only concern is, while we will have a van, what if we want to split up? Then I had a thought--would it be bad to use CBR as sort of a hub? As in, if some want to stay in the parks later, would it be bad to have them take the bus to CBR and then taxi to Bonnet Creek? Instead of paying for a taxi all the way?

We just stayed the last week in july and it couldn't of been better.Cbr is very close and there is no fence between the parking lot and chelonia dr., so it's not much of a walk to wyndham. We are ap's so we only went to the parks twice in 8 days, there is plenty to do there if you didnt know already, but it may depend on what part of the season you go in, and its across the street from the Waldorf, the hilton grand is connected to it.The wyndham grand is connected to this resort and you have full access the all the hotel has to offer too.I'm glad I found this post.

Just wondering when your booking is?

Are there usually taxis around? We are looking at staying at Bonnet Creek next year, but wouldn't want to have all of the family tied to one rental car.

I've never taken a taxi FROM Bonnet Creek but I've take one at Downtown Disney back to Bonnet. You might be able to just call one. DTD isn't far.
Use Uber. Cheaper than a taxi and better service (mostly). A week of using Uber should cost less than renting a car and you can split the fare with family.
