Need help with a GV decision

[MulanMom]

We were booked in an OKW GV for an upcoming trip with a request of first floor or elevator due to DH's ECV. Just received a call that accommodation is being taken down for maintenance and they gave us a choice of Grand Floridian (accessible), Riviera or Saratoga Springs (refurbished and near pool and bus). Any input you can provide as to pros/cons of each would be much appreciated. Looking at making this decision relatively quickly. Thank you in advance for your help!

Riviera and GF will be a single level floor plan vs. SS two story.

Thats one hell of an upgrade!
We get OKW GV every other year. Its massive, and about 1/2 the price of other GVs.

GF is beautiful, I love a large lobby. And you get live Piano music on the weekend.
But next month we are staying at RR. I love the look, and the skyliner, though I don't care for the kitchen layout.

It is a 2 story, but you can use the elevator to access the second floor if necessary.

Personally, I'd take the GF grand villa if they are doing a free upgrade.

Decided on GF. Though Riviera is new and beautiful, we have a few that aren't crazy about the skyliner. I'm still in shock! Thank you so much for your responses.

However, MDE is still showing the OKW resort reservation, so I think a follow up may be in order.

I would have chosen the GF as well. The GF is not normally my style, but I have seen pictures of that suite and it looks amazing

Same here. They probably thought I was crazy when I asked for some time to think about it!

Wow, we just stayed in a OKW GV last month. I think I would chose VGF too. We stayed there in a 2 bedroom last year and really enjoyed that resort. We could have been swayed to stay at RIV. Those rooms are the second largest, after VGF of course and are about a year old. Enjoy.

GO online and do the virtuel tour , but GFV has a eztra TV room with a sleeper sofa. So if you need it, no one is sleeping in the center room.

Good choice. There is a reason the GF cost the most points. It is so nice. Even has a theatre.

We own at GFV. Love the property and location on the monorail but the rooms are "tired" and in need of a refresh. Right now with the Riviera being new it is pristine. You have gondola access there.
