Got some more pics of the inside from our villa. I really like the window over the kitchen sink. And this time, a better pic of the deck with sunshine.

Awful photo. blame my partner but shoes some of the scale of how high the ceiling is in this room.

Some outdoor construction pics as I pass by… the wind is starting to pick up, but everything is still out and open.

Also, a cute piece of art made with sand next to the Beach pool…

I find the amount and scale of the scaffolding they are using around the main building fascinating.

It’s quite impressive in person.

I think the GF always likes to be over the top as the flagship

Wanted to note the lobby elevator by the grand staircase has re-opened.

I know right? I was looking at my pox from my Nov 22 stay and it was much less back then.

This is our first GF stay! How early should we get on the monorail for early entry at MK? Thanks!

If EE is 8;30 we do 8-815. That works unless you want SDMT then get there 745-8. It’s a short ride and not long into park.

Thats great news…watching the lobby updates with great interest as we are there from 16th Sept for a week and it’s our daughters first time staying there with us (DVC), its such a wonderfully imprrssive lobby we were so disappointed when we realized that it wiuld be under major construction when we visited!!
Please keep up the amazing updated pictures

Just incase anyone is interested in DVC at The Grand…

Are you staying in a DVC Villa? I enjoy staying at VGF, but my personal preference is OKW. We do staycations (live less than an hour from WDW) several times a year and VGF is stupendous.

Turned into a lovely evening.
