*The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

Anyone know if the new Big Pine Key resort studios will have access to laundry in that building? Or will those staying there need to walk to the original villas. Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. We will be there later this month. I hope to get over there and see the model. If I make it over there I will ask.

I would hope they have a laundry room at BPK. Will find out soon, checking in for a resort studio on July 1.

I feel like it’s a very DVC thing to freak out about where I’ll do laundry on my trip

At SSR the laundry rooms are at the swimming pools. I don’t know if there is a laundry room at the VGF leisure pool, but that would be closer than the Villa building.

According to the Disney site there’s a laundry room in the Big Pine Key building - so I assume DVC will keep it there. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/laundry-services/

::::: doing Happy Going Home To VGF dance ::::

We finally got documents on our 150 more VGF points and booked a lake view 1br for next May!

Gonna be odd not to have Christmas decorations, because we've nearly always gone in November.

I can't wait to see Flower & Garden Festival!!!

After selling my VGF contract last year, my new (much larger one) has officially closed and the deed has been recorded!

Now the long wait for the points to load so I can start dreaming about my next stay...

What's the latest on construction? Going to be there July 1-10 and wondering what to expect.

 

[RamblinWreck]

Is it too obsessive to log in every day to see if my points have been loaded, when the contract only closed a week ago? Asking for a friend.

My stay isn't until December and I just got an email warning me of construction noise.

Mine is right after Turkey Day and I also got an email today.

Once the contract is loaded, wait 24 hours and then call MS to have the points loaded.

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you a heads up that my stay at The Grand isn’t for at least another five months, however, I received an email saying that there will be construction going on during my stay. The new resort studios at BPK are supposed to be completed and open by June 20.

Here is the email.…

Aren't they supposedly planning a big renovation for the Grand Floridian main lobby? I wonder if it's related.

Or if everyone with a GF reservation is getting these emails currently, regardless of when their actual travel dates are.

My one night there is July 20th and got the email.
