Great! This past December was our year for staying at VGF! We bought enough to stay every 2 or 3 years apart. We love it, too!I got a VGF standard studio for Dec 3-10. We love VGF at Christmas.
It's good we wanted 1 bedroom villas!For December:
I got our SV 1 bedroom at the BWV. When I checked earlier today, there was still availability for 1 bedrooms in all BWV categories, including standard view.
The standard view studios were pretty much gone except for 1 or 2 scattered nights. The Boardwalk view studios were also pretty much gone, but with a few more scattered nights than the SV category still available. Pool/Garden view studios were still available for all nights. It does look like the standard view and Boardwalk view studios are being walked.
Yes! Much easier to get (and more comfortable).It's good we wanted 1 bedroom villas!
Hope that both of your trips are wonderful, Lu. You are so lucky to be taking your mother. I treasure the memories of trips to WDW with my mom. That is one of the best things about DVC--being in such a magical place with loved ones.Was shut out of a value studio at AKV for the first time ever...so we decided to stay at Kidani for a change, in a standard studio. I wasn't really surprised but kinda disappointed there was no availability even for those of us who stalk and try. I probably could have waitlisted or pieced a week together somehow...but I am so lucky we are going at all. I am incredibly thankful to have DVC.
So excited to take my parents in May. My Mother had a major surgery ( life saving actually) in May 2016. So this May they are headed back with us. She will be in a wheelchair to protect her from crowd shifts and getting bumped around...but I have my Mama. She is excited too. Sorry just had to share.
Gosh, Bobbi, losing your mom and your brother-in-law within 3 days of each other is rough. I am glad that DVC has helped you to have so many happy memories.Treasure each trip with family! My mom passed Dec 29, 2016 at 97. She was the reason we finally bought DVC so we could celebrate her 85th birthday at BWV in 2004!!!! She enjoyed WDW so much, and we were able to have a 4 generation visit in 2006!
Her birthday was in December, so she loved the Candlelight Processional and all Christmas decorations. We always remember her when we go at that time.
My brother in law passed this NY Day. 2 years ago he and my DSis enjoyed the NYE festivities. I am so happy they got to experience that fantastic night at Epcot.

Had the same experience watching the VWL studio I wanted. But was able to get just what I wanted at 8AM on booking day. I think it helped that my first day was a Friday - when I had been checking a few days before the first day was always gone.Got up early this morning and was able to get our VGF 1 br standard vacation december 7th through 13th. Was nervous because every morning for the last week I'd check and the first day was already booked up. Had considered walking but wasn't even given the option to start because no availability. Made sure to try right at opening time this morning and got it!
