Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

[TLinden16]

I wound up adding on 50 points after staying two nights at the Grand Floridian in May. As soon as I walked into my room, I just fell in love. I spent a lot of time just relaxing at the resort--even staying there until nearly 11:00 one morning (a huge deal for me, as I'm always at the parks for rope drop). I loved just sitting on my balcony, and watching the monorail go by. I can't wait to go back!

Stayed in a dedicated 2br lake view last week. Loved the resort. We own at BLT, but this is our favourite.

A couple of observations.... Kitchen layout could be better, one of the cabinet draws hits the oven when opened and paint work was already damage where it had been hit....

Not a huge fan of how all the access doors to the master bathroom.

We stayed in a one bedroom July 3rd and 4th with a view of the monorail and fireworks. We absolutely love our new home and plan on adding on more points soon. It absolutely blew us away. We went to 3 parks, mk, ak and Epcot. No problem with transportation. We had our bags transferred to BWV for the next part of our stay. Easy peasy. It is really hard to appreciate another dvc room once you've stayed at the gfv. For a split stay, I would suggest making gfv your last stop if you can.

We are doing just that for our December split stay!

First 2 nights AKV(our home) Jambo this time, then 2 nights VGF!WOW!

Here's to staying at WDW for the FIRST time seeing the Holiday decorations and for our first childless vacation in TOO LONG! Youngest DS will be in college and we are celebrating "getting over the hump" and time for us now! Can't wait!

So happy to hear such GLOWING FEEDBACK!

That is awesome. Dh and I did our first adults only trip last November over the holiday season and stayed at AKV Jambo house for 3 nights. It was absolutely wonderful! We also wound up adding on at GFV after visiting the models! We love the holidays at wdw and we love AKV and GFV. Both resorts have tremendous decorations for the holidays! You two are in for a real treat!

Would you mind telling us the rm # you were in?
Thanks!

Stayed at Kidani, back in 2010 and really like it!

For us, we are trying Jambo this time to be closer to Mara and to have the "resort, hotel" vibe for the Holidays!

For us, a REAL treat will be the first time doing the Candlelight Processional Dinner Package! The show seems SO NICE! Eating at Les Chefs de France as an added bonus! Will really "get us in the Holiday spirit" I'm sure

Will be decorating our own home day after Thanksgiving, so when we get back, all of that will be done! Have to also do Christmas shopping "a little earlier" this yr!

DH and I are very excited to now call GF our home! Just purchases 200pts after doing the DVC tour while in WDW last month. I fell in love and I couldn't put it off any longer. We can't wait for our next trip so we can finally stay at VGF!

We stayed at VGF in a one bedroom for a week this past Dec and again this past Jan. We loved it so much we bought 250 more VGF points and now have 750 VGF points. We are adding a week in March this year.

Congratulations and Welcome Home!!!

Finally got through the entire thread!!! My DH always said the only way he would invest in DVC was if the GF built one. It was a tough call because we LOVE RPC and its CMs. But we finally did it last month. We are now proud owners of VGF. My DD and DS have been staying at RPC every year since very young and my DD got a little emotional about not being able to see her friends (CMs) anymore. I'm sure we can always stop by and say hello.

I have already booked 9 nights for August 2015. We are staying 4 nights in a deluxe studio SV and 5 nights in a one bedroom SV with plenty of points left for a second trip. We are very excited .

Congratulations; I'm sure you must be as excited as we are in becoming new DVC members calling the VGF their home resort.
