    Dates for Reservations?

    I can't seem to find anywhere on MDE where it tells me the date that I can start making dining and FP+ reservations. We are checking in on Monday October 10th (onsite). When can I start making those reservations? Thanks.

    Staying DVC wanting Disney Dinning Plan

    If you're renting points through David's (or another service), do you have to have park tickets attached to your DVC reservation to get the dining plan? I want to use David's and get the dining plan, but then use Undercover Tourist for tickets. Is that possible?

    10 in a 2 bedroom VGF Lock-Off?

    Given that the 2 bedroom lock-off villas at GF are a studio connected to a one bedroom, both of which sleep 5 people, are you able to book the 2 bedroom lock-off for 10 people?

    If you had to choose one: MNSSHP or Pirates and Pals Cruise?

    We went to MNSSHP when my youngest kids were 4 and it was a waste of $$ for us. We arrived, sat down to stake out a spot for the first parade, happened to be able to see the first villains show from our spot, waited for the parade, watched the parade, ran to join one long, slow line for two...

    BWV Renovation

    Ok, thanks. That makes the BWV one of the few 2 bedroom villas at DVC properties where I can sleep all 3 of my kids in a bedroom separate from us and living room, in their own beds. That's a good improvement (my kids won't share beds and they go to bed early, so we like to be able to put them in...

    BWV Renovation

    Does the studio portion also have a pull out sofa as well as the murphy bed and the queen bed?

    BWV Renovation

    Can some one please explain the bed placement in the 2 bedroom after the refurbishment? Where is the murphy bed? Is it in the living room or in one of the bedrooms? If in one of the bedrooms, which one? Do any of the bedrooms have 3 separate beds (i.e. queen, pull out sofa, murphy bed all in one...

    Beach Club or Yacht Club

    Thanks for the info re the different resorts. As far as connecting rooms being guaranteed, I've spoken to three different Disney employees over the last 48 hours (2 on the online chat and 1 on the reservations phone line) and all 3 told me the exact same thing "if you have 2 adults and 3 kids...

    Beach Club or Yacht Club

    So, my number one plan is a 2 bed DVC villa at GF. But, there is a good chance that won't work out, so I am trying to come up with a back-up plan. Originally my back up plan was Beach Club villas, but I looked at the photos and they don't appeal to me and also there aren't enough dedicated beds...

    Confused about when I can book a DVC Villa (non-member)

    Ok, thanks. I have a plan of action. I will contact brokers and see if I can get on on points starting October 9th and if that doesn't work will try to get one with cash on October 16th.

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    trishadono - thanks. That is the one I want. Although I'm not a DVC member, so I think my chances of getting any 2 bedroom villa at the GF are nonexistent! Any tips?

    Confused about when I can book a DVC Villa (non-member)

    I have considered renting points and that was going to be my plan A, but not being able to do that until 11 months out, I wanted to try to get a cash reservation as a back up plan. Lynne - If I am understanding your post correctly, Disney owns 10% of the rooms and can choose to rent them for...

    Confused about when I can book a DVC Villa (non-member)

    I want to book a 2 bedroom DVC villa at Grand Floridian for the second week of October 2016. While I was researching these rooms on the website, I did a chat with one of the Disney employees. After he answered my room specific questions, I asked when I could book and he said as it is less than...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    trishadono - thanks, but where is the second twin size pull down? The description I typed came from the website and was the same for both categories of 2 bedroom villa (standard view and lake view). It doesn't make sense that there are 2 twin size pull downs (because then the room could sleep 10...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    Can some one please tell me what the bed set up is in the 2 bedroom villas? The website is a bit confusing. The photos seem to show the master bedroom with a king bed, the second bedroom with 2 queens and the living room with a pull down twin bed. However, the description says 1 king bed and 1...

    My DL VIP tour experience versus WDW

    I also read that other "plaid" thread. I'm not sure that that poster has ever done a VIP tour at WDW to compare it to. I don't want to give the wrong impression, the VIP tour at DL was good (far better than waiting in lines!) it just pales in comparison to the WDW one. So, if you've never done...

    My DL VIP tour experience versus WDW

    I think a big part of the issue is the relative lack of FP at DL compared to WDW. If they increased the FP access, the guide would have entry to more. I don 't know why there is such limited exit access at DL compared to WDW given their lower # of FP rides. My guide said we couldn't do the ones...

    My DL VIP tour experience versus WDW

    They only have a small list of rides that don't have a FP that they can get exit entry to, maybe 5 per park. Most of Fantasy Land was not included. We had access to Snow White, Pinnochio, Matterhorn and Small World. My kids wanted to ride Pan, Dumbo, Toad, Storyland etc. Also, not having exit...
