BGW Partners with Colonial Williamsburg
- Thread starter Nicole
- Start date
I think they need a package for those that already have BG tickets. Only things I could think of are meals, QQ, and tours.
I believe this is meant to be sort of an expansion of the Bounce Pass that gives you access to the Historic Triangle and BGW. I also imagine, given that it is focused on resort stays, that locals with BGW passes are not the target audience.
Busch Gardens and CW do have a reciprocal discount for the other site's pass members. Each site gives a 10% discount on admission tickets if you have an annual pass.
Any word on how large the shuttle/bus is going to be? I know Kingsmill has smaller buses for their shuttle to the park, although I believe there are more than one being used. The shuttle between SWO and BGT is uses large buses and is covered in a branded livery for both parks. Perhaps, if there's only going to be one shuttle, there will be a similar approach here?
My guess is that they will use normal sized shuttles. When CW ran a bus to BGW previously, it was just like the rest of their fleet. Additionally, I can't imagine why they would want to get special vehicles just for this route.
So, if anyone is wondering how the partnership is going so far, I think they have encountered a few hiccups.
We heard from people trying to redeem their Bounce and Flex tickets this weekend that Colonial Williamsburg was unable to process the passes. The ticket seller said it had something to do with Busch Gardens not loading the barcodes in time for CW to sell them.
Hopefully, this will get straightened out soon. I, for one, am really rooting for this plan to work and to continue past this year.

Is it just me or does the rooms see m kind of pricey for a "budget friendly" place. Especially since it's not much different from a hotel. Honestly I just stayed at Disney All-Star resort and it's the same price.
There are two different CW hotels at different price points. That said, they are official CW resorts, not regular hotels and motels. I would expect them to be priced higher than many of the regular budget chains.
There are a lot of benefits associated with staying at the CW hotels.
I understand about different price points for CW but, isn't the Woodland the only one associated with BG?
Nope. Williamsburg Lodge and the Woodland.
And the package comes with more than just the room.
