Parking question: can we use the Senses Day Spa parking lot since it's currently closed? It'd be nice to be closer to the Villas building if possible.

It is the same lot.

When you pull in, park in the lot to the right... that is the DVC/Spa lot. If you park in the lot to the left, that is for the main building, which is essentially further from the DVC building.

Unfortunately, that website isn’t permitted. Is it the DVC magic bands?

I don’t know why I love magic bands! I saw they are coming out with a phone app that does it all but I will still use my magic band!

Same here!! I hate to admit, my phone is always in my hand, but I’d still use my MB!!

How much are the cabanas? I’m tempted to rent one but I don’t know that we’ll be in the pool area long enough for it to make sense.

It was $314 and change for a full day when I booked yesterday.

Staying VGF for first time in a couple of months. For buses to theme parks, is the bus stop at VGF or on the hotel side?

You will go to the hotel side, the bus is shared between the hotel and the villas.

Was a half day an option? Our day off will be activities in the morning with pool time in the afternoon/evening. So we don't need it for a full day.

I didn’t ask for half day, I’m sorry! Our plan is to let my in laws who are staying with us use it for the day while we head to MK and then we plan on using it with them during our long midday break. Pre-Covid, half day was an option.

Unfortunately, full days are the only option right now for cabanas. Hopefully it will change back soon.

That’s what I was assuming. I had heard that BC was requiring full day rentals.

As someone looking to buy into VGF, can someone speak to the difficulty of booking at the 11 month window in non-COVID times? I know we have the charts Pete laid out, however, just anecdotally, have you found it to be tough. I’m just buying enough points for an annual long weekend in a studio (that’s the plan, at least), but I don’t see the point in buying VGF if it’s hard to get a pretty normal weekend (or non-holiday or festival). I have plenty of SSR points coming that I plan to use as network points. I will always be using VGF points at VGF (or banking them). Thanks!
