How are the crowds so far?
We arrived Saturday, it was very crowded over the weekend. Yesterday and today, not bad.
Did Radiator Springs at night using the single rider line, about 30 minutes.

The view in # 4522 is so awesome! It's like looking into YOUR backyard!! I feel that your so close to the park that if someone (who has good arms) pitched me off the balcony I could either be in line for Little Mermaid ride OR get in through the back door! That is if I could land feet first!! LOL!! We were just there this past May and had friends stay with us who absolutely could have sat in the living room chair just starring out though the LARGE picture WINDOW ALL DAY!! He kept saying how "it feels like I'm (he) the owner of this... look and behold!" So funny!! Although other villas have great views too, THIS room with the BIG window framing the park leaves a HUGE impression on people when entering the room & standing at the foyer!! Bay Lake Towers to me doesn't even match up!!
Our stay was 3 nights so most of us saw WOC about 6 times! The pool table upstairs kept people occupied when we needed some down time & just because we live close by my 15 yr old likes to bring his xbox which they do have hook ups for. Also hooked up karaoke through TV speakers & used the long dining table for playing poker WHILE watching WOC!! This was our 3rd time in the Grand Villas at VGC with the other 2 staying poolside! You can do all same things there as well EXCEPT for the incredible PARK VIEW with WOC show!! YOU will love this room!! Enjoy your time there!!
mrsw94 said:Hi all..I've read through a lot, but have a couple of questions about our stay next week. We were VERY lucky to have been able to rent points for a 2 bedroom Sat through Friday. I can't wait!! Anyway, I'm working on my packing list and have a few ???'s...
There are 8 of us total. Our plan is for my in-laws to have the master bedroom (since they are paying for it!!), My family of 4-Me, DH, DD10 & DS4 in the other bedroom. 2 queen beds, right? My SIL and her daughter (22) in the living room. Does this sound doable?
Questions...
1. Is there enough room for DD & DS to sleep on the floor on air mattresses? We sleep in a king at home and DH is so tall that he needs a queen all to himself!!
2. Are there hair dryers in all the bathrooms or just the master?
3. What else should we bring? I have coffee filters (both kinds), paper towels, and extra cups. What am I forgetting?
Thanks so much for your help!!
If you're not already sure, better check to make sure you have a dedicated 2br instead of a lock off. The dedicated will have 2queens, the lock off will have one queen and a foldout couch. You should be able to tell on your reservation as you have to book a category when the reservation is made.
There was some pretty good floor space in the 2nd bedroom, seems like you'd be able to fit an air mattress in somewhere - maybe the entryway part of the bedroom if nothing else.
If your sil and niece are sharing the pullout in the living room, another option is maybe your daughter would like to sleep on the Pullman below the tv in the living room. Our daughter loved sleeping in it when she was 10 - thought it was cool/special.
It is more likely you have a dedicated 2 bedroom. Studios are the first villa type to book, which makes 2 bedroom lockoffs equally difficult to book.mrsw94 said:So what is in the living room? Is it both a Pullman and the pullout couch in the living room? I'm just trying to picture where everyone will sleep. My FIL was told it would sleep 9, but I'm not sure where those numbers came from.

I have just returned from another great trip to the Villas
Room request was successful: villa 5502
Some panoramic pictures:
5502 is my third choice.Was that your first choice villa? And if so, why not 6502?
Okay - We were in a 2 bedroom dedicated villa in August and tried my queen size air mattress in the room with the queen beds BUT IT DID NOT FIT!! yes I tried the little space at the foot of the door by the bathroom (even moved the little table out) but still no luck! Now keep in mind that I did not tried to adjust the other beds around like I usually do in the hotel room so my rather large 2 teenage boys had to share one of the beds while another teenage boy (son's friend) had the other bed to himself! My friend and her family (2 extra people) had the living room so couldn't do it there! Luckily it was only a 1 night stay but I over estimated the size of my air mattress (it has a head board shape to it) which we just purchased! So maybe yours will be fine or maybe just a twin size is even better! Also, yes the hair dryer in the second room (in a black bag) but not in the bathroom across from the kitchen. Enjoy your time @ VGC & DLR!!
We love 3522 over all the other 2BR's. It's always #1 on the request.
