Hello Long Island. Its been pretty quiet on here lately. So who's going down for Presidents week? Ill be at VGF from 2/23 to 2/28. Hooking it up with my annual Daytona 500 trip. Im gonna pass on the dining plan this trip. We're gonna save the receipts and see how a cash trip compares. Stay warm everyone.

Have a nice trip Joe and Family hope you have a magical trip and send a picture or two of the daytona 500 i would love to rub it in to another friend ?

I would consider Tables in Wonderland if you plan on doing some table service. We don't do the dining plan anymore we like TiW.

I so agree ?

Hi Jeff,

I think you will love AKV Savannah view room. I stay in them as often as I can. AKV is remote. But I see you will have a car, which I think is a real plus when staying at AKV. It's one of home resorts and my second favorite

I hope your cruise is awesome and your stay at AKV is the perfect topper to a great vacation! I was finally able to book Wilderness Villas. Always wanted to try it, it seems so peaceful. That's a May trip for me as well. Hopefully my DH will be able to take a few days and come with....

Happy New Year, and HAPPY TRAILS

Thank You I so appricate this I cannot wait and to add Star Wars Weekend it is going to be Magical. When are you going in May ? and congradulations on the Wilderness villas !! that sounds like alot of R&R Happy New Year and also a Happy Disney year too .

Hey Long Islanders! My sister just bought a small home in Florida...in Naples. They will be snowbirds..Putting together a last minute trip, and hope to sneak in a few days at WDW while we are down there. Have 1 day reserved so far at Grand Floridian, on wait list for a few more...., hoping for at least one or two more, but wow it is tight. Only SSR has availability around the first week of March. Not thrilled about resort hopping, so we will see.

Hope you are all well. Deb and Jed

Of course! Welcome !!! Anywhere near Arbour Street? I have a BFF and a niece on that block.

 

[pinnocchiosdad]

So we have been down this road before. Parking at a discount at a hotel near Islip airport. Every trip I say I'm gonna try it and never do. But it cost me $108.50 to get my car out of the airport lot yesterday. I just may try it next trip.

Well. Let's see. Where to start. Now keep in mind this us all just my personal opinion. There is a different feel to GF. You don't get much of that warm and fuzzy feeling. Did you ever look at the rack rates to pay cash at the GF? People pay crazy money to stay there and the staff seems to cater to that. The staff is very mature and I think they spend many years working up to a position there. VGF is very pretty. To me it has one if the prettiest DVC villa lobbies. Aside from that I don't have much good to say. I don't think there is a great view to be had. I had a lake view and our view was the wedding pavilion. A nice view but nothing you need to face for a week. We had a glimpse if space mountain and that was it. Our room was very nice but smaller than what we are used to at BLT. We only had 1 bathroom and missed the second. The balcony was literally big enough to through a football back and forth, but when you sat in a chair the thick railing was eye level blocking your view. There also wasn't enough room to fold your legs. It was a pretty good walk to the busses and the wait times seemed average. The monorail was just slightly closer, but you had to go inside the lobby and take the elevator or stairs to the second floor. The mug refill station was as far as you could possibly place it from the villas. There was a second mug station near the pool, but it was closed every time we walked by. Disappointingly there was only one hot tub for the entire resort and that too was a far hike from the villas. I am sure some people will love VGF. After all, it is the Grand Floridian. For me, I'll stay with BLT.
