As vaccine rollouts continue across the globe, travelers are looking to make up for missed connections with friends and family in 2021. If you’re seeking to rent out your timeshare this year but are unsure of where to book, a suite at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL will likely draw the eyes of prospective travelers — just make sure to keep an eye on price (more on this below).

Prime Amenities Right Next to Disney World

Wyndham Bonnet Creek has long been an open secret among timeshare travelers for its proximity to Disney World. Shuttle services are available straight to the park, while shopping and dining hub Disney Springs, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and downtown Orlando are all within 20 minutes by car. Whether guests are seeking coasters and castles, or exploring Orlando’s foodie and coffee scene, Bonnet Creek makes it easy to enjoy Orlando.

Bonnet Creek is an Attraction All on Its Own

Another major draw: the resort is truly designed with families in mind. Firstly, the pool vibes. With two lazy rivers, cabanas and barbecue grills, and a poolside shipwreck (plus waterslides), Bonnet Creek is primed for major fun in the sun.

As for rainy days in the tropics? Not to worry. There’s an arcade and fitness center, board games for rent, plus several dining options on-site, too. And with spacious suites complete with living rooms and balconies, families can wait out Florida afternoon showers with pizza and movie days, or relaxing evenings on your private balcony. 

What You Need to Know

About 70% of our 2021 bookings at Bonnet Creek are for two or three-bedroom suites, so make sure your listing appeals to potentially larger groups. Our data also shows that 62% of Bonnet Creek bookings in 2021 are for week-long stays, compared to 57% of guests opting for full weeks at other resorts. It’s no surprise — given the resort’s location, many travelers want to enjoy both Disney World and the surrounding attractions, and a longer stay allows them to get the most out of their booking.

A full rollout of the vaccine is expected to take months, so the when is another critical piece of your listing decision. Essentially, the later in the year, the more confident travelers will feel booking makeup trips and dream vacations.

. Mid-to-late 2021 is a solid choice on the attractions front too: as we mentioned in our December update, Walt Disney World will be ringing in its 50th anniversary on October 1st. 

At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the highly-anticipated Jurassic World VelociCoaster is set to launch summer of 2021. Additionally, several of Orlando’s waterparks, including Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Universal’s Volcano Bay, will not reopen until March at the earliest. When creating your listing, consider how you can time your availability to capture this year’s anticipated uptick in travel and 2021’s unique events, while appealing to travelers and communities for whom health remains front and center.

What’s The Catch?

It may be tempting to create a Bonnet Creek listing for late Spring or later, set a flexible cancellation policy, and wait for the bookings to roll in. With significant booking volume, however, comes significant price competition. Wyndham Bonnet Creek is also our most popular resort for listings, meaning pricing competition, particularly for key dates, is often heavy. When planning your listing, be sure to check out how similar listings are priced for your intended dates.

Pro tip: Want to stand out from the crowd? If you have access to Club Wyndham points, it may also be worth considering other resorts where pricing competition is not as intense, but where owners are still seeing substantial booking activity. Club Wyndham Park City (Utah), Club Wyndham Nashville (Tennessee), and Club Wyndham Governor’s Green (Virginia) are also proving popular with travelers.
