They aren't really focusing on the resort studios. In the brochure I received in the email, and in this promo, they really are putting a lot of focus on existing VGF1 rooms, especially the GV. Weird.

Sadly that was to be expected. As I see more reports from new buyers who are purchasing for 1 & 2BR's I think this new addition is going to significantly tighten up availability in the original VGF building.

A room getting beaten up actually doesn't mean it was missed. The resorts actually do have to do a good amount of ongoing maintenance to keep things look shiny. But that is why I posted the picture - if the living room looked like that then it was indeed refurbed. It also was a soft goods refurb with a little extra like adding the murphy/sofa bed and changing chairs and headboards. So paint, rugs, carpet, the pieces of furniture and I heard they changed out the mirrors that had the tv in them for non-tv. In 3 months time strollers can mark things up and things like the dishwasher which likely wouldn't have been replaced in a soft goods refurb could break.

From what you have posted it looks like it has had a soft refurbishment. This room is not in good condition…the granite sink top was broken, a large crack. Room number 1608… may be good to try and avoid if possible.

Hopefully maintenance will pay attention to what you reported and get some repairs done!

Did I read on another thread you were interested in the DVC cocktail… I tried it today, very enjoyable.

I am going to be at VGF for a couple of nights at the end of the month. Will have to try it!

My husband and I made an add-on purchase to this beautiful resort this week! So excited to call my favorite resort "home". These points will be used for girls trips mostly as I really like the resort studio concept for short 3-5 night stays and DH would not be interested in that. He is a one bedroom kind of guy even with just the two of us. Anyway, can't wait to book my first stay in the resort studios on Monday!

Wait, owner’s list??? I’ve owned at VGF since 2015 & just added on at VGF2 & am so relieved to finally have enough points at VGF to get out of borrowing mode for my VGF stays

Exactly my thought! Perfect location for a “girls trip”. Our sons are grown and they grew up at our other home @ BWV, so when we go with them it will likely be in a larger villa there. But can’t wait for some split or shorter stays @ VGF in the resort studios for some “me” time

I feel the same way. I can even see a solo trip or two in a resort studio in my future. Sometimes "me" time is the best time!
