VGF Villas & Views - REVISED 07/22/2017

[CarolynFH]

We booked a lake view studio and got a text we are in room 1604. One post says its a studioand one says 2 bedroom.... any ideas on what it is?

It may be the studio side of a 2 bedroom lockoff.

Is this a cash room? Boulder Ridge Villas (VWL) Doesn't have lake view rooms as a category for points and I cannot find that room number on the maps I have of BRV/VWL nor for Copper Creek Villas. Did you book a Wilderness Lodge room? I sure hope I am wrong.

BTW, upgrades from a studio to a 2BR is extremely rare. In fact upgrades for DVC rooms is very rare. It usually means something was wrong with your assigned room.

Denise, I think you got your threads mixed up! This is re VGF!

I believe 1604 is a room number for the GF Villas, 6th floor. Can’t find the floor plans right now but based on my current knowledge it should be lake view as you booked.

1604 is the last studio down the hall towards the Grand Villa. If you combine it with 1602 (1 BR), you have a 2BR lock-off. It has a nice Lake View.

Don’t worry! I’m watching so many resort threads I have to scroll up all the time to figure out which one they’re talking about!

We just booked a week in September in a 1bedroom standard view I'll be sure to come back and post pics. So glad to be back at the grand. It's our first time at GFV.

I asked for a fountain view, but ended up on the other side somehow. Nice monorail and water view. Can see the contemporary from the corner.

Wow, that is impressive Bobbi. Happy Anniversary! I am amazed they had a 2 bedroom available. Was this pre-cruise?

Post cruise. Just this past Friday night. We noticed a glitch in MDE, suddenly we had TWO villas at VGF, a studio, AND a two bedroom. THIS WAS BEFORE WE EVER GOT TO WDW! So, it was not like we got the anniversary buttons and they decided to upgrade us. I have no idea how it happened. However, I do believe it was the CM who checked us in who got us the cake.
We were also gifted champagne, 2 glasses at Narcoosees, and cakes to take home.

@bobbiwoz , are you still there? If so, I’ll wave across the lake at you. We are in Tokelau at the moment...

And congrats on your anniversary (and upgrade)!

Wow congratulations! We will be there in August, celebrating our 30th Anniversary and our youngest’s graduation from HS. I should make sure MS knows. We are already in a 2bedroom but I love the special attention you get when Disney know you are celebrating!!

No, but we kept going back to the extra bedroom and smiled.

Our friends, of whom we had no idea that they would be at WDW for the day, had already paid for a room at Caribbean Beach Resort. This friend had been my Maid of Honor, and we have been friends since kindergarten. They happily shared our goodies, and took the extras. What a happy surprise, to be able to share the experience with friends.
