    Theme park view from BLT

    We stayed in a 1 bedroom standard view at BLT. We requested a high floor, even numbered room, and ended up in 8410. This was on the 14th (of 16 floors I believe). We had a view of the lake and the Magic Kingdom! We were able to enjoy the fireworks from our balcony which was great. The...

    What is average lenght of DVC ownership

    We bought at OKW in 1992. Best investment we have ever made! We have no intention of ever selling! We make it a point to either use all of our points or send family members on vacation when we can't use them (feels great to provide my parents or sister with a free Disney stay). In 21 years...

    Kitchen Supplies at VGF

    We had the bare minimum in supplies in our VGF 2 bedroom at check-in, which didn't seem unusual to us since that has always been our experience with the villas. However, when we received trash/tidy service on day 4, mouse keeping left an abundance of detergent, soap, dish liquid and paper...

    VGF Villas & Views - REVISED 07/22/2017

    We stayed in 1607 last week. It's a standard view and was fabulous! We faced the main building, the beach and beach pool, covered walkway and the fountain. We could also see the beach and the lake. Plus the monorail. I was concerned with the standard view but it turned out great!!

    Blt busses

    We always use Dollar Rent a Car. Google coupon codes which give added discounts, and remember to keep checking the rates even after you book! Also, if you join Dollar Express (it's free) the pick up and drop off is a breeze, plus they upgraded our car for free last week! Good luck!

    Noise between suites - VGF and others

    Our dedicated 2 BDRM at VGF was very quiet. We were on the top floor and never heard our neighbors or anyone in the hall.

    Refillable Mugs VGF

    Yes, Gasparilla's and the Beach pool grill sell the mugs and you can refill at both locations. You can also have them filled with soda (not coffee, tea, cocoa) at the bar at the Courtyard Pool. They are Rapid Refill--at Gasparilla's there is a time limit (2mins) b/w refills, and they also only...

    Any guests arriving November 1 to 30 receive FP+ testing invites?

    We arrive Nov 1 and I keep checking MDE a few times a day (ok, like 100 times a day...I am obsessed) for FP+ for the parades. I can't find anything. I was doing the same thing for the BOG restaurant FP+, until I found out there is a "special" website to book that FP+. Makes me wonder if there...

    Blt busses

    We have been so frustrated by the buses in the past, that we now rent a car. I research coupon codes and rates and continue to check the rates and modify my reservation as my trip gets closer. For our most recent trip, we are paying $12 a day. It's a small price to avoid the buses! Parking...

    Thanks Winky65. I knew the CM couldn't be right! Especially since I see a link for FP for the parades!

    FastPass+ for Parades

    I just spoke to MS. CM said you are not able to book FP+ for EP on MDE. She advised it has to done at the MB kiosk in the park. Hmmm, not sure if this is accurate, but I plan on checking MDE frequently anyway.

    Should we try VWL, after 11 yrs of being a member, never stayed there?

    I agree with Geomom, try it once and for part of your stay. We spent 8 nights at VWL and did not care for it. We felt it was too secluded and quiet. We like the "hustle and bustle" of Disney, and we missed that at VWL. Also, we had a terrible experience with the MK ferries. WL shared with FW...

    Jiko or Boma?

    I haven't eaten at Jiko, but BOMA is excellent. We make it a point to eat there every Disney trip. I am a picky eater, as is my 16 year old, but we always agree on BOMA. Enjoy!

    FastPass+ for Parades

    Does anyone know if there is way to book a FastPass+ for the Electrical Parade on My Disney Experience? I seem to only be able to book rides/attractions, but have heard FastPass+ is available for parades. Thanks!!

    Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

    Does anyone know if they divided the sides of the building by even and odd room numbers (like BLT)? I would like to request my standard view/2 bdrm be on the right side of the building (if I am facing it).
