The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 3.0

We’ll be back at VGC in Feb and VDH in July. I don’t remember the last time we’ve caught the LNY festival so looking forward to that! Looking forward to seeing the progress of the refurb by then.
 
When is everyone here planning to head back to VGC next?
We were supposed to arrive today but our flight was cancelled. Hopefully arriving tomorrow. We were staying Saturday to Saturday but now it will be Sunday to Saturday. We re-organized our dining plans, grocery delivery, scooter for mother in law, and car service. The plus side is our room will be ready when we get there tomorrow. It’s a bummer our flights were cancelled and it’s disappointing that we are still at home surrounded by snow but #firstworldproblems.

But…. a bit more pressing issues going on in Southern California right now…..
 
My wife and I checked out the renovation activities yesterday. The elevators now only go up to 4, floors 5 and 6 are totally closed off. There is fencing and some storage units in the taxi area in front of the hotel. Pretty hard to see anything beyond that!
 
I have been so busy getting ready to move I have had hardly any time to plan for our upcoming trip. I have googled and searched came up with conflicting info so Im hoping my fellow owners can help me out.

Viewing on the terrace for World Of Color, is it only for GCH guests or if I am staying at VDH can I still view it from there since I am DVC?
 
Does anyone know the locations of the accessible rooms?

From what I can tell VGC has 8 accessible rooms.

I referenced an older thread but it only has 4 rooms indicated as H/A. Those 4 are the wheelchair accessible rooms but we are missing 2 Hearing Accessible for both studios and 1 bedrooms.

1507 is a hearing accessible one bedroom with a pool view.
Thank you!

I believe we have them all now.

If 1507 is a Hearing Accessible one bedroom that should mean 1509 is the HA Studio to create the lock-off.

This youtube video indicates in the comments that it is room 1502 which should mean 1504 is the HA Studio to create the lock-off.

Not to rub salt in a wound, but we’re incredibly thankful to have purchased at VGC for $112/point back in 2009. Will be back in December🎄😊
😭
When we bought into DVC, VGC and VGF resale were around the same price (I want to say $150-160ish), my sister lived in LA, and I toyed with the idea of getting some VGC points ... (#DVC regrets)

Yup, we should've bought after our honeymoon at VGC, which would've saved us $100 per point, but we were broke newlyweds and had a house to buy/fix up.

Your question got me curious. Tracked down this video accessing and the views from the terrace. Took a little bit of research but its called The Paradise View Terrace if searching on the internet.
