*The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

The people who are buying in are buying into the same resort as I already have. When they can book a resort studio, I should be able to, too, right? My DSis wants to stay in one, so I would be modifying a current studio stay whenever they can book. Correct?

Yes, I think so. I have a Lake View in December that I am going to try to change to a BPK. They will probably only declare inventory at about the rate they are selling them, so it could still be difficult to book.

VGF Friends!

On a mission to find out what mattress brand/model in main bedroom (king beds) since most recent refurb (stayed 12/19-21 2022). TY!

Just booked our spa appointments for April. Anyone been yet since the reopening?

Interesting that we've stayed in a 1br twice, 11/2017 and 11/2019 and have had the boring stainless steel fridge both times.

Maybe we should file an ADA complaint? Both were HA 1brs.

The beverage coolers aren't going to keep milk and yogurt at a safe level, so the new rooms aren't ideal for this group either.

As ultra-pasteurized as most milk products are anymore, I'm thinking they may keep without spoilage concern.

We bought a pint of half & half last fall when in a studio and never used it.

Took it home in an ice chest, a 2-day drive, and it was perfectly fine until used up nearly two weeks after purchase.

Is there lotion in the studios at VGF? I am packing for our trip and my carry on liquids are getting maxed out. Will leave the lotion home if they have it there.
I checked out the pics and videos and see a bottle of something behind the soap but can’t tell what it is.

The rooms carry the same H2O products as any other Disney room, including lotion. We've never had a problem grabbing an extra bottle from mouse keeping either

There's the tube of lotion and facial soap bar at the sink.

Tub/shower has the bulk bodywash, shampoo and conditioner.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort boat service to Magic Kingdom to be interrupted early March 2022

Watercraft services from Disney's Grand Floridian Resort to Magic Kingdom will be interrupted from March 3 2022 as maintenance work takes place on the dock area.

Boat transpiration closures will take place 11:45am to 3:15pm daily, with monorail transportation and the walkway remaining open for guests needing to move travel to Magic Kingdom.

The work is expected to be completed within a week, but specific dates are not available.

Hi everyone, if this question was asked already, my apology. We are planning on renting points for Jan 2023. Does anyone here know if the DVC studios will be all refurbished by then? Wanting a deluxe studio. Thank you so much.

I really hope that I hear back on ROFR by 3/30. If Disney takes the SSR contract then I'll do 150 pts at VGF. We loved our 1 bedroom last year for spring break.
