Well then it must be getting its own quiet pool and hot tub as well as a fitness center I guess.

GFV is getting a super nice new kids water play area, and use of the two GF pools - Similar to the arrangement of BCV and VWL with their host hotels.
Fitness center.....VWL shares the fitness center with the WL, does not have its own. GFV will also share the fitness center with GF at the spa.
My post was not meant as a put down of VWL, just stating the facts. VWL has no amenities of its own, except for a quiet pool. No restaurants, no activities, no lounges.......the resort shares or uses all the amenities of Wilderness Lodge, including check-in.

Also VWL has its own hot tub next to the quiet pool. VWL does not share everything.
Please please everyone run and buy points at VGF so I can actually get a CL room at AKV when I want it. I prefer my home resort. The wines and hummus are totally worth it!

The GFV resort is fairly small and won't have much impact of AKV home resort reservations.
I'm hoping VGF will have a Club Level so everyone will want to book those rooms and not the AKV CL rooms.

Also, I wanted to note.....I think (but I don't know as a fact) that the existing pool is going to be turned over to the GFV. So the new villas will have a pool complex similar to the new Paddock Pool area at Saratoga Springs.
Well yea that's all true, but that's not what you said before. You said the building would have no amenities similar to VWL. VWL has a fitness center in the building, said nothing about sharing anything. And it also has it's own pool and hot tub which I would consider amenities there as well.
I guess BWV has no amenities at all since BWI shares everything. Same with AKV?
Well that would be great for us DVCers, but you actually heard the main pool with the zero entry and slide will closed to GF guests?
Does anyone know when VGF are going to start selling? So curious.

I am hoping there will be an announcement on the member cruise in September.
Jade1......Stop turning this into a VWL bash thread. Facts are facts, VWL is an add-on to WL and was not given any amenities of its own, except for a quiet pool area.

VWL has a fitness center built to be shared with WL, again a fact. You are more then welcome to find proof to dispute that claim. The Fitness center at Grand Floridian will be shared with the GFV, located directly in front of the new building.
And for the record, BWV and BWI were purpose designed and built to share everything. Its the only DVC and Disney Hotel designed this way until Aulani Resort was built.

"The new building is going to be pretty plain, similar to VWL - no amenities."
