Questions for VGC opening guest

[karriemouse]

We've just added on at VGC!!!

Planning to visit in Aug 2010 so will be looking forward to the reviews!

We will be there on Opening day in a 1 bedroom. We will be there for a total of 5 nights, day before in a standard GCH room, then the next 4 in a Villa. I will try and help with the questions.

would any of the people arriving for opening day be up for meeting for a cocktail (or whatever) some time that evening?

toocherie I refound this thread and wanted to bookmark it for before I go to the opening.
I noticed your suggestion to meet. I would love if all those going to the opening would meet for cocktails, so count me in! There is little over two weeks until the opening, so to get things started let's meet at the Hearthstone Lounge say 8:30pm??? Too late? Too early? Any more that would like to meet?

Staying in a studio on Saturday!
Will take pics and find where the "good rooms" are!
ie: quiet area, view, elevator location. etc...

My guide just did a test run in a 2 bedroom, said it was "gorgeous" of course and checked to make sure everything was working and in place.

CAN'T WAIT! Need vacation bad!

I'll be following this thread with much interest; my partner will be in a 1br VGC at the end of January, so glad to hear/see what folks have to say!

Question
Is there the same "perk" of getting to go to MM whenever available your length of stay that is available to those staying onsite in the hotels?

Will there now be a DVC discount for all Disneyland tours? Such as the Cruzin' California Tour?

I will add your questions to the list! I assumed on the MM. . but maybe I shouldn't have. . but my guess is it will be just like early entry at WDW and that are key cards which are used for MM, would look just like the rest of the hotels but may say DVC on them. . maybe someone can answer that too!

Have a blast all you resort "openers."

Ah yes...I have decided not to assume anything with VGC...there are just too many unknowns on the details
Thanks! :

Just added on at VGC.

Per my guide:

Valet is not free, only self parking is free. Valet parking is $17.

There has been a soft opening going on for about a week. Mostly, Disney executives and select cast members invited.

I went over to see the new observation deck overlooking DCA on the 6th floor, however the door (which had been open the previous night per my guide) was locked. All of the games in the Video Game Room were complimentary.

I could see that the deck would be over near Mullholland Madness so it will not have a direct frontal view of World of Color but still should have a nice side view.

I took another tour of the models and was told that an additional support was added to the Murphy bed.

That's all I can remember for now but excited to be an owner of VGC.

Cheers!

Welcome Neighbor.

Only two more days until the opening Starting to get things ready for our two day trip. Then we go back this Sunday for another two day trip. This time with the kids.

 

[Hunnypaw]

were staying this Thursday night (9/24) in a studio. Looking forward to any updates people have to share before we get there. If I get some photos, I will share when we return.

 

[disney4metoo]

I am so excited too! Just a few more days and we will be staying in a Grand Villa! I cannot wait!

I suspect the answer will be one big NO...but another question.

Is there any pool hopping? Can you use the pool at PPH or DLH?

Since pool hopping is only for other DVC resorts in WDW I would imagine you are right.
