It's so beautiful though! I bet if you give it a chance, you'll find yourself needing to buy some more SAP's!!
Happy you stopped in! Would you like me to add your name to the Owner’s List now or until you’ve officially closed?!
Would love a suggestion of what to request for my November trip! Don’t need to request any exact room or anything but maybe do I want high floor, even number etc? Staying in a standard view studio. Counting the days! 
They do say they can’t guarantee any requests, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!
When we bought our VGF points back in 2018, I started looking for a VGF Owners board, but never found one! I love that you received incredible Pixie Dust for your 50th!!! What an amazing gift! You’re only 4 months away from your next stay there!! I can’t believe how this year is flying!! I’ll get you right up under the Owner’s List!! Happy to see you here!
I’ll get you up under the Owner’s list!!
