I can't believe I just found this thread!! My hubby and I went down for my birthday at the end of August. We were already mostly set on adding on, but when we took the tour and saw the model rooms, we were both instantly in love. We also own at SSR, but are SO very excited about the Grand. We have our first stay booked for June of next year and I cannot wait!

Thank you, Kat.

Here now. Saw the ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:00. Quite a few execs. A little fanfare as we entered the resort. Smooth checkin. No real front desk, just tables and chairs while you checkin.

Little disappointed in the lack of a freezer in the studio fridge.

Also, a little glitch in my opinion with storage for our clothes. The only storage is under the bed. However, one of the two drawers cannot possibly open as there is a night table between the sofa and the bed blocking the opening.

Beautiful decor. Beautiful lake view. So far, so good.

How exciting! Thanks for the update!

When you say lack of freezer, does that mean that there isn't one? Is there a closet at all?

Thanks!!

Thanks Kat for the beautiful pictures. It seems appropriate that we're viewing them on opening day. I didn't see a room number for the GV. Do you remember the floor it was on?

No freezer.

Yes, there is a closet with two robes, safe, hangers etc. Only place to store/stack clothes is in the one drawer under the bed. As I mentioned, the second drawer under the bed only opens about 3 inches.

The small drawers holding the phone book and bible could be used for a small amount of clothes I guess.

Would LOVE to see pictures of a dedicated 2 Bedroom...Room and the View from the room We are arriving in 18 days and would like to get an idea as far as a room request

Please and thank you !!!

I had been hoping to see a 2BR and it sounded like some of the guides were showing one but not the guide I was with. It was rush, rush thru the villas as if we had seen them before. I look forward to seeing pictures of the dedicated 2BR too!

This GV was on the 2nd floor. I don't know the room number though - forgot to take a picture of it!

That sounds like a couple of oops - especially the draw which is a rather big oops!

THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS but I too am hoping to see a 2 bedroom.
I am going to try to book a 2 bedroom in February for September and would love to see pictures!
Are there different categories for views?
Thank you.

There are 2 categories - standard view and lakeview. And standard view out numbers the lakeview.

We checked in but don't have our studio yet. I will make sure to check to see if we have the same issues in our room.

Can the night table be moved or is it fixed in position?

Never mind, hcortesis - I looked up a pic & I see what you mean. I was having trouble picturing it in my mind.

 

[jackglick]

Can someone post a picture of the studio. I tried finding one to see what the issue was with the drawers and couldn't find it. Thanks.
