Does anyone have any interior pictures of a dedicated 2 bedroom villa ? Can't seem to find any

Yes - anything in particular?

The second bedroom / bathroom

The second bedroom / bathroom

From the second bedroom hall looking at sink next to shower (shower is to the right of the sink area).

Second shower:

Looking out from inside shower:

The pocket door you see to the left of the sink above separates the shower and sink room from the bathtub/shower and toilet room:

From bedroom looking back down second bedroom hallway. The closet is on the right of the hallway and the bathroom on the left.

There is a writing desk at the end of the hall. Around the corner to the right of that was the door into the bedroom which connected from the hallway by the entry.

And the whole sleeping area:

Checking into a Standard 1 Br Saturday, any qs?

We were there for a week in Dec and a week in Jan in a one bedroom.

We were lucky to be at the Grand during bad New England weather for both trips.

Now it's snowing here again and I wish I was in my happy place at the VGF.

You will love the Villas. Have fun!!!

OMG...it's even better than I imagined
Can't wait to try out my ownership

It's $145 for current members. I broke my 150 pts into three separate 50pt contracts so we could divide them between our three kids later on.

My parents just purchased three contracts of 120pts (or something like that) and will pass them on to my siblings and myself. they said the DVC guy said a lot of owners choose to do that.

I keep seeing bathrobes in the closet...

Is that a standard item in all rooms including the studio?

They were in the studio we stayed in- now determining if they will be there in July when we stay again may depend on members and if they tend to take them- or if housekeeping checks and charges them for it.

Yes, they are supposed to be. VGC and Aulani both have them too and Concierge at AKV.

Just back from a beautiful week at VGF. We had a standard 1 bed which was amazing. All requests were met- early check in (entered room at noon) and higher floor. Villa 1403.

Is a VGF studio room extremely hard to get at 11 months out when renting points? We are planning our trip for mid June next year and VGF is now one of top choices!

Not sure about renting, but this is my home resort.... I was online @ 7am CST @ the 11 month mark daily for a week. I did get the studio, but some days @ 7am it was booked. Luckily, I had patience & needed a full week so it worked out. The 2nd day was booked @ 7:01am CST, but luckily when I checked on the 3rd day it was available.

Btw- I cancelled my last day & it was booked before my call ended.... I was checking online while talking to MS.

Oh geez.. Thanks for the info. I guess that probably won't work out then. I'm planning on booking through a company and I don't know if they'd be willing to do that for me. I just wanted to stay near magic kingdom but the 1 bedroom villas are too pricey for the 4 of us! We may just have to book a moderate hotel.

Have you thought about BLT? It's the closest to MK.

Also, except studios, all the other categories are not that hard to get. For instance, for my week, week before Christmas, studios standard view booked, lake view partially, 1 Bdrm & 2 Bdrm available.

Well we looked into BLT but I heard it was super small for 4 adults. It was actually our first choice until we heard that. We want to do a studio because it's cheaper! 1 bedrooms not really an option for us. I wish they were!!
