The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

Does anyone know where the hearing accessible studio is located?

Can anyone tell me what the bedding is like in the studio villa? We were in one of the hotel rooms earlier this year and we only had sheets and a thick duvet, which was much too hot for me. I'm wondering if they have any sort of regular cotton-type blankets available in the studio villas? Thanks!

I know there is supposedly a renovation planned for 2024 but I don't think it will happen before our June 2024 trip so I assume bedding now will be the same then.

That's the same as the DVC units - there is usually a blanket & pillow in the closet for the sofa bed, and I typically use that blanket. The duvets are also way too warm for me. X.

Hmm...I'll have to ask for an extra blanket I guess, since my son will need the blanket/pillow for the sofa bed. We're driving for our next trip, so I might just throw a blanket of my own in the car instead.

We are going in june 24 for our first trip. We will have a little one on the sofa bed, so thanks for asking!

What dates will you be there? This will be our 2nd stay at the Grand but our first on the DVC side of things!

June 20 and 21 at vgc.

We'll probably be there the 17th - 23rd so we overlap.

We plan on trying to get vdh for 2 more nights at 7 months with our points. We rented vgc points.

 

[ClaraOswald]

Nice! We only have resale points so no VDH for us. Looks nice though!

We own both small resale and direct. Rented the vgc and hope for the best at 7 months for vdh.

How does that work... do you rent them from Disney? (are they considered direct points or?)

I rented vgc points from the dvc store at 11 months. I plan on using my small direct contract to get vdh at 7 months.
(2 nights at vgc and 2 nights at vdh)

Yep, sure did thanks.!!

I was trying to guess the exact url, & wasn't getting it, & now i think Disney has logged me out & maybe even blocked me from signing in. lol

 

[NVDISFamily]

Now that VDH is winding down and will open soon have any of our data peeps seen any shifting in the data for when we may see our remodel of VGC? So far I'm seeing no booking windows that seem to be locked out.... Hopeful for some news in the coming weeks/months.

 

[Chili327]

Can someone tell me where the 5th person sleeps in a 1-bdrm.
All the floorplans i see don't show a 3rd sleeping option. I'm guessing its under the TV in the Livingroom, but some pics show a dresser, & no way a bed pulls down from that, so then it makes me think its in the bedroom, but that doesn't seem right either... is it the dining room bench?

 

[Chili327]

Wait, i think i found a pic... Can someone confirm this is how they are in 1-bd?

Can confirm that's where it was 3 weeks ago when we were there. Better TV though.
