Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

Thanks for the reply!

Have fun on your next trip. We got the VGF for the week of Easter and it's not our home resort so it's possible if you really stay on it. I wish you good luck

I know exactly what you mean by schedules. I am a teacher and my daughters are involved in every sport they can be in so trying to find time to go it nearly impossible. We went for Christmas this passed Christmas and it was great. We used to go beginning of Dec before I was teaching full time but that changed once I was working all the time.

Enjoy your trip just the two of you. We went once without the girls and pretty much talked all the time about what they would have enjoyed or how much we missed them I bet you will have a great time!!!!

Hopefully, you'll post your experiences about your Easter trip!

I am "thinking" spring and Easter too! Excited that this cold weather will soon be coming to an end!

ENJOY YOUR TRIP!

Hi everyone,
We became DVC owners aboard our cruise in February. It is something we talked about a couple of years ago and now that our boys are a bit older (almost 4 & 6) and we are traveling more, it made sense to do it now. We love WDW and all things Disney. Our first cruise, on the Dream, was amazing. We LOVE the Poly and are considering buying there in a couple of years, as well. We have never stayed at GF, but have ogled from the monorail. And now we own there!!!!!!! We have already booked for Feb '15 because we get a horrid winter break in which we try to escape to warmer venues (hence the cruise this year).
So, I look forward to being part of the thread and getting to know more about membership benefits, etc!

Just subb'ing to this thread. I've been an owner at Saratoga for a number of years now, but then it was just me. So I only bought enough points for a 1 bedroom twice a year....now with a wife, a 3yo and a 10mo it was time to add on, LOL! My wife and I just bought in to VGF last month, after staying numerous times at BLT and loving being at a Monorail line resort.

We're looking forward to our first stay there this December. We're going from sat-sun, and have the last 5 nights in a 2br, but waitlisted for the first 3 nights. Fingers are crossed that it comes thru. We actually have 2 waitlists...1) for the first three nights, and 2) for the 2nd two nights as we booked the first night already.

Anyway, just saying Hi to all the other VGF Owners and Lovers on this thread!

How do I post pictures here. I have room and view pictures from last week in standard view studio 1511.

Somewhere on here and you can upload your pictures by room number. I'd love to see that picture since we just booked a standard studio and are hoping for a high floor.

Pinch me! Just became members on our cruise last week Wasn't planned, but after talking to our friends that own and looking at our travel (in the last six years we've done two WDW trips, one DL, and three DCL) we knew that it was the right choice for our family.

We've never stayed at the GF before but are looking forward to calling it "Home"!

Welcome Home!!!

You will love it. We go three times a year in a one bedroom for a week. We spend more time at the Grand then at the parks.

Enjoy!

 

[jerseygal]

HOPE that you enjoy DVC as much as we do!

CONGRATS!

We have been members since October, 2008 and LOVE IT!

GOING TO AULANI THIS MAY! DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT!

Hoping to get to GFV SOON! LOOKS AWESOME!

Thank you! I haven't even unpacked from our cruise yet but now I'm thinking about our next WDW trip lol! I'm thinking a late January 2015 trip as our school district has a day or two off then for Staff Development.

My only question so far is what happened to the duvets? I'm leaning toward doing an Owners Locker so perhaps the first thing I should gather are some fleece blankets to leave in there?

Thanks again. Our friends that cruised with us were very excited. Our girls don't quite get it yet, but someday when they each get a deed to the VGF they'll be over the moon

Can't believe I haven't checked in here yet! We are proud owners of 50 points at VGF!

We were on the Dream over Spring Break and stayed one night pre-cruise in a VGF studio. DH and I split up with the kids on arrival day, he made it back to the room first and immediately texted "we must have points".

Ridiculously amazing room and we had a spectacular view of the lake.

So on the cruise, we signed up for an appt to talk to a rep about it. Which, unfortunately, was directly after the martini tasting.

So voila! Owners are we. Not sure when we'll stay there next, though. We're hoping for Aulani next year which will take EVERYTHING. Maybe 2016! If that doesn't work out, it'll be sooner than expected!!!!

Does magical express take you directly to villas or do you get dropped off at main hotel? If it matters my flight gets in @ 9 am. Thanks

Ok thanks. Someone told me you check in at the villas. Glad I asked

DME arrivals check in at the GF, you will probably be met as you get off the bus and escorted inside.

Others can check in at the villas.
