BCV and GF

[gilld]

We're planning on staying at our home resort of BCV for 11 nights in Sept 2005 and also GF Concierge for 3 or 4 nights. Should we go to the GF first or last? We've eaten there before but not stayed there.
I think we should go GF last to savour the luxury but DH say first...what do you think?
Thanks Gill

I think it all depends on what size room you are getting at BCV. If you are staying in a 1 bedroom do GF first, if you are staying in a studio, do GF last. Going from a 1 bedroom to a regular hotel room would feel really small.

Actually, it is a win win situation. BCV and GF... life is good!

From my own personal experience, I agree with you that you should do BCV's first and then go over to GF

When we've stayed at 2 different resorts and the 2nd part was a step down from the first (ie. we stayed at the GF first 2 nights and then moved to POR-R for 7 more), we longed to be back at the GF -- POR-R was wonderful mind you but not quite the same as getting to stay at the GF

However, being that you'll be staying DVC, it may depend on which room size you get as to if GF will be a step up or down lol.
If you're staying in a studio, then I'd definetly go to BCV's first and move over to GF 2nd but if you'll be in a 1 or 2 bdrm villa, moving to the GF to just a room would actually be the lesser of the 2 resorts -- although you'd have concierge. Tough call but depends on your room size at BCV's

Good luck!

I like to combine a stay at the Polynesian with a stay at BCV and prefer to do the Polynesian first and am sure I'll do the same next time we stay st the GF, too.

The main reason I prefer it this way is the washer/dryer at BCV. I pack enough for our stay at the Polynesian and then can just do laundry at the BCV for the rest of the trip.

I do agree about reversing that if you'll be in a studio at BCV.

For me, the GF or Polynesian is not a step down in the least from the BCV 1 or 2 BR...just a different experience.
