*The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group* - LOBBY REFURB BEGAN 4/14!

We have a 1 bedroom, so it’s a blue headboard like on the 2 bedroom that was posted. We have a lower bed because we got an ADA room so no drawers, but I don’t think that is normal. My mom checks into a studio tomorrow so I will go check it out and post! I didn’t post many pics of our 1 bedroom because the layout is so different because they placed us in an ADA room.
FYI we are in a standard 1 bedroom and there are no drawers under the bed - nor is there any space underneath - in face it’s a mteal piece that sounds like distant fireworks if sit down heavily on the bed. I hope it’s only temporary until a platform with drawers is made.
 
A popular YouTuber, Paging Mr. Morrow, did a video walkthrough of the 2 bedroom updates if anyone is interested:

Looks like the 4th, 5th and 6th floors are complete. I'm staying tuned since I'm staying in a studio on 1/11-1/14. Hope all the updates are complete by then!

We are there 2-13 to 2-20. I put my request in as "any location just please give us an updated room"!

Looks really nice! I feel like there should be one more chair in the living room though.

As of Dec 23, 2021, all the rooms being used are refurbed. Floors 456 are open and refurbed, 123 are being worked on now. So there are no more “old” rooms being used for guests checking in. Enjoy!11
 
PS, can someone please note - the washer in villa 1609 has its hot and cold hookups reversed. So if you want a cold water wash put it on hot, and vice versa. “cool” is pretty hot. Warm is warm. 🤦‍♀️

Wow that’s awesome to hear! Thanks.
 
I kinda like the colorful rugs - otherwise the room is a bit closer to "old folks" look than I would like. As someone else said, I'm happy they did not just go plain jane with the whole thing.

Put the TV back in the bathroom mirror.

Wait?! They pulled the TVs out of the mirrors? That was the only "cool" thing in the whole place per the youngsters ... come on Disney, we need to Wow the family or they want to stay at off sites ...

The updates are really nice! We were there a year ago and loved it. But the murphy bed in the living room is so much nicer than the sofa bed. And the refresh of fabrics everywhere is so pretty!
 
I need opinions please! - I want to stay in the Grand Villa with my family but it isn’t available for the entire trip. So, looks like we will have to do a Split Stay. (I would prefer not to have to do a split stay, but since the GV is a bucket list item for me, I’ll do it if that’s the only way I can stay there!)
Would you try for a Grand Villa at a different resort at the 7 month mark for the other half of the stay? If so, which would you recommend for 3 families with a total of 10 people? And, is this realistic?
Or, would you get studios, 2 bedrooms, etc… basically whatever is available at VGF that fits our group for the other half?
Thanks everyone! I’m so excited to be able to bring my extended family that have never been to Disney World!

I'd be torn about the choice. I'd love to see another GV, but also love the VGF and would love to stay there the whole time. I think it's a win/win, though.

And for me the VGF Grand Villa is a worthy bucket list item. We stayed there a few months ago. Had some extra points, and it was so worth it. Plenty of room for three families. With the extra TV room, I'd really call it a 4BR, and no need to have someone sleep in the main living room.
