How lucky to be in the first group to stay at the VGF DVC that opened today.

[Nickylv]

Thanks for the review and pics! It looks gorgeous! We'll be checking in this Thursday. Can't wait!

You will love it. The closet is a little small. Especially for 10 days worth of clothes but it all is just beautiful.

Love them and the news about a microwave is awesome!

That will make a difference for many people!

Right now while the microwaves are on back order, if you call the front desk and ask for one they will bring one up for you.

Exactly what I will do. We are staying just one night in July but check out day will be a resort day so it will be nice to have for that morning.

But it does also mean that I am willing to stay there now more often. I do prefer that location and this helps!

Maybe we will see them do the same thing and add a toaster!!!

Sorry forgot to mention if you ask for a toaster they will bring that too.

now if they would put a full size mirror over one of the beds you could watch the TV from the couch.

didn’t catch that since when we go away we never turn a tv on. Guess that does affect some. There is only so much room in these resort studios so I guess its either watch from bed or watch from couch, guess bed won out

Unless you get the really cool room that has the bump out....that has two TV's.

DH would love one of those bump out rooms! He has to have his tv. But I do not think watching from the bed would be a terrible thing. We could designate one of the beds as our tv bed. It might be quite comfy. I will have to ask him if he is willing to try it out as we have never had tvs in the bedroom.

We're going in late August (five adults) and I'd love one of those bump out rooms! Highly unlikely I suspect since there's so few of them, but it sure looks cool!

Others have posted that check in is in the main GF lobby.

I think if you don’t have online check in you would need to go to the main lobby for check in but while we were told at the security gate to stop at check in, we did not since we already had our room number from online check in. In either case when you arrive you are at the main lobby anyway and the building you would be staying at is out the door and across the walkway to the right. Not far at all.

Thanks so much for this report. I will be there in August for 4 nights, lagoon view. I can not wait! Too beautiful!

 

[zavandor]

It really looks beautiful.

It looks beautiful thanks so much for posting. We’re really excited for our August stay at our new home resort.

I REALLY wish they had some walk-in showers in some of the rooms otherwise I love it.

Love the reports. I was too point cheap to get the lagoon view for an upcoming trip. Waiting for some reports on the standard view and everyone so far has been fortunate enough to share the beautiful Lagoon views.

The few times I’ve been asked to swing by the front desk since the advent of online check in has been because the resort wanted to update or verify my credit card for charging to the room.

While the pool is on the front side of the building unfortunataly so is another building. I would think looking to the left would be the pool and to the right the lagoon and directly in front would be the next building. Hope you enjoy yourself, the rooms are beautiful.

Could have been, we did not stop at the front desk and everything was fine.
