I am posting this in hopes that my new VGC neighbors will be able to help me out (it feels pretty good to say that, I have to admit ). We just bought a contract and will close late july/early august at the latest. Our contract has banked points from 2017 that will expire next June. We already had a trip booked for the end of October before we decided to buy, so are kind of stuck. I really don't want to sell the points and would much rather use them. My family is holding on to hope that there is/will be something available when our points are loaded in August. I however am more realistic as this will be in the 2-3 month out booking window. But before I tell them to put that idea to bed, I thought id see if one of our new neighbors (yep, still feels pretty good ) would be able to check on the system for me and see if there is currently anything available. Arrive 10/21, Depart 10/24. We need a 2 bedroom villa, which is the only reason there may be a chance. If there is already nothing available then I can break it to them softly. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it, either post here or PM me. Thanks!!
Sorry to inconvenience someone- but can anyone check studio availability from 11/25-11/28? Considering trying to come up with more $$, rent points, and cancel my hotel reservation to stay- but I figure it's long ago booked full.
Thanks!
Grad Nites do not create a noise issue for VGC....We do 1 bedrooms and request WOC/theme park view (6502, 5502, 5508, etc)... Will it be super loud in those DCA view rooms on Grad Nite? ...
Very Lucky...Cannot believe that I was able to get 6 nights at 7months out for a studio.Very lucky.
There are 12-cup Mr Coffee drip coffee makers (flat bottom basket filter) in all villas, no reports of any changes....As for the coffee maker in the studios, still the same as WDW or have they switched to kuerigs?
x510 are in a corner, but still have a decent park view....Also I see that studios end in 04,09,10,16. 10s look like a corner with not much of a view. for park view is 04s or 16 better?

Several times I have only remembered it was a Grad Nite after noticing guests still riding Goofy's Sky School, most recently this past Saturday (June 9).
There is usually music (dance party) in the Hollywood area, which cannot be seen or heard from VGC
You’re Welcome HomeA big thank you to @Nonsuch for all the info on this thread. It’s been a really big help planning! Put the kids down early tonight in preparation for their first day in the parks and my wife and I still got to see the Paint the Night parade from our balcony in x508. It was pretty awesome!
PTN rehearsals ran overnight early Friday (2AM and again later), which made me hope something might be added.
Just got unpacked and settled in our room for our first ever VGC stay in a 1br. I must say, it’s quite a breathtaking place! Now to get all the kids settled for a day at the parks tomorrow.
Just returned from a 5-night stay at DL. We were unable to book five straight nights in any category at 7 months out, but we managed to snag the first two nights in a 1BR, then a one-night stay at DLH (OOP), before ending in a GV the last two nights. What a marvelous trip! We watched PTN twice in the park and then caught most of it the last night (Thursday) from the viewing area on the top floor. From the night before, they had added a new Incredibles float. Mr and Mrs Incredible at the front and Frozone on top--they even tossed in a few bars of The Incredibles theme song at one point. Second trip to DL the past few years, the first at VGC. Superb. . .with one exception: of course, all the Pixar Pier stuff was closed except for the CM/media day on Thursday. We could see the coaster running and ferris wheel spinning with people on them. Sigh.You’re Welcome Home
(like “before and after” on Wheel)
I’m home from a GV visit last week, more details soon.
PTN rehearsals ran overnight early Friday (2AM and again later), which made me hope something might be added. Friday night performance seemed unchanged, so likely just a rehearsal.
