The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

[pmaurer74]

Just got back from a VGC trip. FYI, the VGC BBQ grills are down because of the current renovation. Guest services had no idea on when they'll reopen. Combined with the pool renovation and the limited access to ice machines, it wasn't the best of stays. Pool work is progressing but looks far from done.

thanks for the update. Hoping it will be done by June!

Currently in a studio villa and not too happy. Upon check in we were told there would be no water from 9 am-2pm and they would be testing the fire alarms from 12:30 pm- 2pm tomorrow. Then when we returned there were 2 large bottles of water and a letter stating the water would also be off between 3-5 am tomorrow. Also ice machines are not available and you have to call for some. So much for relaxing in our room tomorrow and my son's nap time.

Hi All

I just wanted to join the thread and say hi. My husband and I purchased VGC resale last year and we are looking forward to our first stay this September. I wish I had bought when the resort first opened but we were trying to buy a house at that time and then it sold out too quickly. But I'm a long time Disneyland fan, having been there at least 30 times. Truthfully I have no idea exactly how many times I've been there, but many more to come

Welcome! We bought VGC resale 2 years ago, and feel the same way! You will love your ownership!

Excitedly planning our first to VGC and this thread has been amazingly helpful. I remember reading but now I can not find information on a short cut through the hotel to DTD to get to the Main Entrance to DCA and Disneyland. I remember it was a door you could walk out of but could not enter because it was locked. Does this sound familiar or am I crazy? I think it came out around Starbucks? Thanks !! Also looking for the best walking map of the area to understand the layout

Here is a link to detail on that secret short cut ... https://www.disboards.com/threads/s...-secrets-i-should-know.3386949/#post-53197992

I am super curious if it still works, given the recent re-vamp of the security corridor in Downtown Disney. Let us know!

Well. I just got my first contract membership number last week. And then yesterday I decided to buy 75 more points. I'm done now! 182 points total now assuming ROFR goes through. I'm done now!
