When I was at VGF over spring break, everything was booked, but they were holding some slots at the Grand Floridian Cafe for walk-up GF guests, and I was able to eat there. Didn’t try for Narcoosies.

So this summer on Monday and Tuesday you dont have a single really nice sit down that is open at VGF? It seems weird they wouldn't expand Citricos days open with everything else closed seemingly.

We're going in a couple of weeks and it was so weird that Mon and Tues weren't available. Monday would have been much better for our schedule, but it was not to be.

It's been reported that Citricos will be open 7 days a week starting 6/26 to help with the Narcoossee's closure.

"To accommodate guests, Cítricos will be open seven days a week beginning June 26. The restaurant underwent an overhaul of its own last year, receiving a “Mary Poppins” theme and new menu items."

I am probably OCD, but it always bothered me that the VGF roof was so much darker than the cash resort roof because it was so much newer. I guess it will be the other way around now.

Then Disney will hopefully get with it and update their reservation booking site.

HI All. I know I should know this but it has been since 2019 that I stayed at VGF (which is one of my homes) but with all the changes that are happening I want to verify checkin information. I am booking a town car service from MCO to VGF but do I have the car service drop me off at the villas or the main lobby of GF? In the past it has been both ways but now I am not so sure.

Thank You

Jennifer

Either, you can check in at both areas. I was there in March.

Do you know if the villas check in will hold luggage early at like 7:30am or would we be better off going to the main hotel?

I would probably go to the main lobby. We did a resort transfer and I seem to recall it was 8.00am before the Villa‘s staff were on duty.

They have someone from bell services at the villas I always go there.

Hi - we are new VGF owners! I"m excited about the new resort studios and can't wait to see them in person. I do have a question - I think I may be headed in the right direction but want to be sure. We asked for a February use year because we usually travel by April. We have an allotment of 2022 points and I would like to use them for next April. Does this mean I will bank my 2022 points to use for April 2023? And if I don't bank those points, will they automatically take points from 2023? TIA!

If you don’t plan to use those points for a vacation before next April remember that you need to bank your points in the first 8 months of your use year - so by Sept., although I assume you’ll book some time this month since that’s when your 11 month window will open - banking & using your 2022 points before you need to use any 2023 points.

yes, thank you! I finally was able to figure it out and I had to bank my points today to travel early next April. I was able to make a reservation and the points that were taken for the reservation were my banked points! I was just nervous that somehow maybe those points wouldn't be the first to go but they were and that was a relief! Seems silly I know, but my very first DVC reservation and wanted to make sure I didn't screw it up somehow! lol
