We stayed n 5 last year and it was in great condition. The idea that they are 'fixing it up' when it needed no fixing is AWESOME! I'll take granite countertops!
Anyone know if 4 has been 'fixed'? What bldgs were refurbed last? I'd love to see one of those!
There's always some people around and activities going on. Over the years, I think more people have learned to take advantage of the resort as more than just a place to sleep while visiting the parks.We are planning on staying at WBC this spring break after 2 years at Windsor Hills. We are not going to the parks this year, and I was wondering if the place is a ghost town during the day? How busy are the pools when most people are in the parks?
Has anyone used Keith and Angela? Thru myresortnetwork.com? They have been my best quote for summer 2015 but it would make me feel better to know that someone had had a successful rental with them.
Just booked a 4BR Presidential through Ken at vacation upgrades for $200/night from Sept 27-Oct 4, 2015! Pretty good deal, huh? Let me explain ... We were looking for a 3BR suite, with no preference for deluxe vs. presidential in the beginning so Ken quoted us for both. Ultimately we decided to go for presidential since price difference wasn't that great and we'd be guaranteed Tower 6. Upon attempting to reserve a 3BR presidential, however, there was no availability. Ken believes it could be due to the fact that they will be renovating Tower 6 at the time of our vacation. We ended up with a free upgrade to a 4BR presidential in Tower 5, resort view (as of right now. Ken says this may change as our dates near) Bottom line: 1. you may not get a free upgrade but you WILL get fantastic service and fast, honest communication from Ken and Denise @ vacation upgrades. 2. If you are looking to travel next year during late Summer/early Fall, there MAY be renovations taking place in Tower 6 which will make it hard to get a unit in the beloved WBC location.
Fluke. They've always been in the rooms we have stayed in. If missing, I would ask for a replacement.I read a recent review and the reviewer mentioned that hair dryers were not provided in the room. Is this the case for all rooms, or is this a fluke? It would seem that this would be a common amenity.
Do they normally renovate in summer? Planning to go at end of August next summer and wanted tower 6 for a 3 bedroom presidential. Wonder if that won't be possible.
We were just there in August, our room sure didn't look like it needed any renovating.
yes, we did. It went very well. I tried to check reference in this thread in Aug too. Good luck!
Did you get an email confirmation of your deposit? We've booked through VS 4 times, our fourth visit is June 2015. They have always been very reliable and easy to work with.

We've stayed at WBC probably two dozen times and never bought a reservation more than 30 days out. We usually get them on ebay.Has anyone been able to book a week at WBC within 60 days of your arrival in the summer? I've made a reservation at the Embassy Suites LBV South for 7 nights in June, but there is still a part of me that wants to stay at WBC. I got a quote from Vacation Strategies and it's quite a bit more than what we'd pay at the Embassy Suites. Then I looked and saw that if you book within 60 days with Vacation Upgrades that you can get a 2 BR suite for $120 a night year round, which would be just a little less than what I'd pay for the Embassy Suites. I was just wondering if anyone had done that during a busy time in June, or is it more likely that there won't be any availability? I'm thinking of keeping my reservation at the Embassy Suites (I can cancel up to 72 hours in advance before getting charged), then waiting until the 60 day mark to see if there is any availability at WBC, I just didn't know if that was a good idea.
