Does anyone know if the laundry areas are coin operated? (no the ones in the rooms obliviously!)

The washers and dryers are free. You can use coins to buy detergent, bleach, etc.

Staying at the VGF currently and totally loving our stay. Stayed in a 1bd Standard the first 2 nights and the other 5 in Lake view. Must say the lake view isn't blowing me away. Our standard view was 1517 and we loved the view of the wedding chapel/monorail/golf course. Since the difference in pts is so drastic, think we will stick with Standard view until we get a bad one

Don't get me wrong, the lake view is nice, but preferred our standard view for fewer points.

Will post pics when I return.

 

[shortypots]

pics from Standard view and just general pics of the room itself. Didn't bother taking those twice.

Will try to upload the lake view ones shortly.

Oh! I also have a major complaint about the pool area... There is NO HOT TUB! You have to schlep all the way over to the main pool area to get a hot tub. Not happy at all! And please do not tell me it is because we have tubs in our rooms because frankly, they are not hot tubs with powerful jets. I sat in the tub with rather achy muscles from running up the stairs at Blizzard beach on Saturday and my legs were killing me, the tub did absolutely nothing for it. I will be making sure I comment to disney about that oversight.

anyone with pool pictures? I will NOT be informing the girls that is a wedding pavilion...we're old school and pay for weddings, but Disney weddings are costly! Nice though.

My pleasure on the photos... I finally uploaded my lake view ones.

Not saying the view wasn't nice, although would definitely be better without the construction on the Poly, but not sure it is worth 50 more pts for the week we typically stay.

the bathroom has a sink and shower stall in one area separated by a door from the bathtub and toilet.

Will be trying for a 7 mos reservation for early Dec.2014 at VGF! I will be trying to reserve a standard view to conserve some points! Standard view of the wedding chapel/golfcourse will be FINE FOR US! CANNOT WAIT for our first WDW trip seeing the Christmas Decorations!! Yipee!!!!!!!!!
