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

Single bed under the TV?
IME the sofa pullout queen bed in the VGF villas is at least more comfortable than the ones at AKV.

lol - yeah. Not the single under the bed. The murphy bed under the TV.
I don't feel any of the pull out sofas are comfortable including VGF but agree that AKV might be the worst at this time.

Hi mrsap! Can you add me to the GFV owners list?

I've been away from Disney (and pretty much away from message boards) for the last 15 months. It was a nice surprise to see that you've started a GFV thread like the one you have for CCV. We're planning a nice long split stay next May with GFV and CCV, so it will be time to start booking soon. I have much to catch up on. We're also planning an Aulani trip in Sept, and I have a solo trip booked at the Poly in January. I was fine being a homebody for a year or so, but am now itching to get back out there!

Big news about the Big Pine Key extension! I'm excited to see the new plans, though a bit apprehensive that it will make 1- and 2-bedroom villas harder to book. Staying tuned!

It sure is!! I can hardly wait now, but it's wonderful to have trips to look forward to again. And you're so right, it is Magic... with a capital M. Thanks for the warm welcome back!

We have a studio DVC stay at GF coming up. Any reason to make a particular view request or studio request? Thx!

Heard the hotel side may have fairly thin walls but how is the sound proofing at the GF DVC Villas?

I personally never had an issue at either!!! Enjoy!!

This was one of my main factors in purchasing at VGF vs Poly. I have never had an issue at VGF with hearing anything outside our rooms! At Poly you can hear your neighbors whispering to each other.

We didn’t hear anything when we were there in April. Hopefully the people under us didn’t hear my kids running around.

For my second ever DVC stay, I was able to snag 4-Nights at VGF in a 2 bedroom at 7 months! I couldn’t be more excited. Does anyone have any room request preferences they like for a 2BR (non lock off, standard view)?

All the 2BRs at VGF are pretty great. For room preference, I would suggest you either request upper floor or lower floor (your preference). There are a couple of rooms that have special views (like Fireworks, when that is going on), but there are so few of them, and just a few people check out each day, that it is really takes luck to get them.

Probably because those prices were way to low, I'm guessing it comes back but at double or triple the price.

Eeekkk!!! We are headed to WDW Nov 10-14 and had originally booked the Swan to keep costs down since we're paying OOP for this trip as we're out of points!! Then I found a room at BWI so I moved us there, and then found a room at WL and moved us there since CCV is our home resort. THEN a 1br at BRV popped up and we moved us there since DH requested a "couch to sit on to drink wine in the evenings " as apparently I've spoiled him with DVC rooms. And then this am a 1br popped open at VGF, and I threw the budget out the window and booked it!! It'll be our first time in those villas and I'm super excited!!

Yeah for us!!!

 

[LadybugsMum]

You will love the 1bd at VGF!! We loved it for spring break.

One question about the 1br standard view...when u book the room thru Disney then description states a kitchenette and not a full kitchen but the water view states a full kitchen. That's just an oversight right or do some 1 bdrms not have a full kitchen??

Thanks!!
