We just bought into the VGF last week, and ever since then all I've been hearing is how we will not be happy with just a Studio, and we should have bought enough points for a 1-bed. I don't understand this AT ALL, as we walked the Studio's, and LOVE them. They are bigger than any deluxe resort room we would stay in, and have capability to sleep 5. I think the room is more than big enough for our family--and has much more room than most (f not all) the resort rooms we've stayed in previously. The 1-beds are beautiful, but that is alot of points to use--hence our decision to buy enough for standard/lake view Studio (195).
Am I missing something? I know there are not alot of Studio's at VGF, but I plan on using the 11mos window to the exact day we plan on checking in. I personally just don't see the need to have excessive points for a 1-bed if we really don't need to use it? We spend ALOT of time at the resort--but not a bunch of time in the actual room. We LOVE the GF, so we figured Studio was the way to go to buy into the resort.
For me, its about the laundry! I love tossing a load in right when I wake up and by the time we are ready for our day, placing it in the dryer. It is great to not have to pack so much for our family of five and to not worry about it in the 'public' laundry rooms. I love not having loads of dirty laundry to take home. When we arrive back home, the clothes are ready to be placed back in the drawers or closet. Keeping on top of it is part of the enjoyment of the vacation for me. It feels luxurious to have a Master bedroom and to have the children in their own space.
We stayed at the Grand Californian in a studio with our family of five when the youngest was just 9 months old. Even then, it felt tight and she was in the pack and play to sleep. Now with my boys being 13 and 10 and that baby is now 4; having the ability to spread out and to gain some privacy is well worth the extra points.
However, to answer your question, nothing is wrong with studios.
