Whew!

I just got done reading this whole thing! Thank God I caught up with the VGC Owners thread when it was only 120 pages!

I've stayed twice in the last month and many may have seen some of these pictures before, but I thought they might be appreciated here;

Stayed in a room in the new wing (room 5252) 5/7-5/9 with a great theme park view of Mulholland Madness. I'm a convert now. The room was spectacular. Except for the noisy neighbors who seeminly had a bit of a social gathering at 11pm and thin walls, the sliding glass doors keep the outside noise out.

It was a bit of a hike to the GCA and DTD entrance, but we didn't mind.

The staff was wonderful and presented DS with a balloon and coloring book at checkin.

Commenting on the coffee questions... the coffee in room is adequate, though the coffee at Whitewater Snacks is just a step above that. DS loved their mini Mickey waffles (took back to room as incentive for him to WAKE UP).

Aloha!

I really do not think we will. DGF has gotten very spoiled, so we work to save for the GCH/GCV.

You are probably right, but not so much me but the DGF and the two youngest are getting where as we moved up in our lodging choices.

Thank God that summer may be here in the Columbia basin!

How many studios and 1 bedrooms are there at GCV?

Do they all have park views?

I'm sure the info I want is some where but I've looked and can't find it-sorry!
