Looking to stay at WBC for the first time (June 2020) and hoping to get some help with some questions and any good tips. We have been doing yearly trips to WDW and always stayed at the Sheraton Vistana Villages. This time we will start at the Disney Beach Resort for a couple nights and then move to WBC for a week. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids between 7-13. Typically we rope drop, head back at 2ish and hangout at the resort pools, and then head back to WDW at night (we will have a car).
1. I understand that we can use the fitness center at the Grand? Is that correct? We are big into fitness so workout every morning and the gym at the Grand looks so much better than WBC.
2. Any specific tower we should request at check-in for easiest parking, best pool, walking distance to the grand fitness center?
3. Do they let you access the pool/hot tubs before 8AM? Would like to get in an early morning swim or just soak in the hot tub.
4. Going to be booking through Tripbound? Any experiences with them?
5. Any other tips for us?
I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on WBC given that we have so much experience with Sheraton Vistana Villages and we love it there, but the proximity and pools of WBC look wonderful.
Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback.
