Phase One - Grand Floridian Day One

Thanks for the report.

Gene reminds me of my husband. I'd be complaining about space and trying to find room and he too would be admiring the doors and woodwork.

When they added the flip down bed to the studios, it eliminated storage. I am not a fan of staying in studios in general, as I we like space to spread out. I loved it there, but I was in a 2 bedroom, which has plenty of storage. I think your opinion of the GF Villas would be higher if you were in a 1 bedroom.

As we drove, we went directly to check in at VGF, so we did not go to the main building.

Christine, is this set up like BLT where if you drive or use a car service you can check-in at the villas?

I'm not Christine but you can check in directly at the Grand Floridian Villas if you arrive before - I think it's 10 p.m. but it might be 9 p.m.

I think you're right. We typically stay in 1-bedroom villas though we did stay in a studio at Aulani which was fine for our needs and length of stay. We chose the studio because we were only going to be there for 2 nights and a 1-bedroom seemed like overkill for the amount of time we'd be there.

Love your reports. I want to stay at the GF one day it's so pretty.

Yes, check-in is available at the Villas from 7 AM to 10 PM, though it could start at 8 AM.

Glad to know that your travel down was uneventful and you made it without delay. Definitely strange regarding ME's consternation with CR!

Quite honestly, Linda, the accommodations sound a bit disappointing. A studio should have enough storage space for two people without a problem!

Nice way to wrap up - love ending the Disney day with a nightcap on the balcony/patio!
