We are Old Key West members that stayed an extra night at Grand Floridian in a 1 BR lake view villa for the first time. I was so excited to stay at the GF. The Villa was just beautiful. Perfect actually. Unfortunately, I found the staff to be much less friendly than Old Key West. I missed the “Welcome Home”, and the smiling greeting we were so use to. Don’t mean to cause any drama or *******, just wanted to let y’all know how I felt. It was just very odd for a Disney Resort. We’ve stayed in so many of them thru the years and were always happy..
 
We found GF staff stand-off ish/stuffy compared to all the other Disney resorts we’ve stayed at. I don’t think they were actually stuffy, I think it’s more we just don’t vibe right for that resort. Tons of folks adore GF and it’s CMs but I think the resort has a particularly unique feel and for those that don’t click with that feel for whatever reason, it just really doesn’t click.
 
I didn't find much difference in the friendliness of the CMs at both resorts, except that at VGF, the Bell Services person was very assertive about wanting me to leave my ECV in the hallway to charge, instead of in my villa. I stayed in a 1 BR Lake View at VGF once, and have many OKW stays.
