Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

Here for two nights in May. We then added on recently because we loved it so much. Now looking forward to six night stay in a two bedroom Lakeview this coming May. Wondering if Lakeview worth the extra point total over standard view? Will be happy either way. What a nice "problem" choice to have!

All of the views at the Grand are beautiful.

Hi all. My wife and I purchased a small contract at VGF in July of 2013. My wife and I are also Disney fanatics (don't own a lot of merchandise, just love being in Orlando at WDW) and go several times a year. We stayed one night in a studio in March this year for my birthday. We are now taking a 16 night mega trip to The World in under 2 weeks! One full week will be in a studio at VGF and we are excited!! We have stayed at multiple deluxe resorts and me and my better half love the grounds at the GF. My kids (we have 3 - 13, 11 and 7) are crazy about pool slides and their favorite is the slide at the beach pool at GF. They are very excited about the prospect of being right next to their favorite slide!

The rest of the 2 weeks are spent deluxe resort hopping - Boardwalk Inn, VWL, Kidani, Poly, Yachtclub. We decided, though, that one full week should be dedicated to our home away from home. I actually think that my wife and I are more excited than our kids are about this trip. We are such Disney nerds it's terrible. At least we know that it is something that we can share for the next 50 years!

Can't wait!!

Not all. Every resort seems to have at least one undesirable.

We are doing the same thing, six nights in a dedicated 2-bedroom Lake view in May. I debated over seven nights in a Standard View or 6 in a Lake View, but I decided that just once we needed the Lake View, and I don't always plan far enough ahead to have choices--since it was available, I booked it.
I hope we have wonderful weather.

My DH and I bought (2) DVC's at GFV in December 2013 for 125 each and we're taking our two adult daughters there in October for a graduation and birthday celebration. We stayed for the first DVC stay in February at AKL which was so beautiful but we're the most excited about our upcoming Home Resort stay.

Wow that is bad! I'm glad there is only one like that. They should have used that space as a utility or laundry room.

That was us. Yep, 1221 is no fun.

Me too! This past May was great--blue skies for 6 days which
I thought was unusual. We did two nights at VGF followed by
4 at BWV. Wouldn't complain to do that again but 6 nights at
VGF this time will be sweet! My DW wants to spend more time
at the resort and less in the parks. Of course me and my 2 DD
love the parks, and Disney sure knows how to incentivize you
to buy multiday tickets. I think we'll definitely check out the tennis courts
this time though.

New VGF owners here too. We just got back from our trip on 7/4/14. We stayed at Bay Lake Towers this time since there was no availability at VGF (didn't know about the wait list). Anyway, we took a tour of our "home" and all I can say is WOW!!!! I was completely blown away at all levels (studio, one bedroom and the two bedroom). We are already looking forward to our next trip which we will be sure to stay here!

Actually the concierge was very knowledgable - the floors are vinyl - brand - Karndean color -autumn oak - she gave me a sheet with paint colors and the flooring-I don't know how to link the sheet

Just wanted to stop in and say hi! We are considering DVC, and if we buy, it'll be at GFV. Can't wait to go through this thread!

I'd love to know the paint color used in the studio...kind of a soft green. It was really pretty and I'd love to use a similar shade in one of my rooms at home.
