Yep, even the GVs. . .Drip. All DVC is drip coffee makers. Flat bottom filters.

I’ve been contemplating that myself...Anyone getting reservations made for June in anticipation of Star Wars land? Just booked the 16th-23rd. Figure it’ll give us a decent chance!
A small laundry room is on the first floor near the VGC elevators (a short zig-zag through a few hallways).I was wondering if there are laundry facilities available for the studios?

There are 2 washers and 4 dryers
This laundry room is usually not locked. The seldom used barbecue patio is nearby (if you plan on waiting).
There is also large laundry room on the second floor near the elevators adjacent to Napa Rose.
There are 6 washers and 11 dryers
This laundry room requires a room key to access.
Assuming you want a World of Color (and Pixar Pier) view:What type of room requests, if any, should be made (for a 1-bedroom if it matters)?
Interesting topic. Perhaps the annual dues statement will have some details, although it seems rather light of specifics....It was my previous understanding that some of our dues for VGC were and are being spent on parking lot maintenance for our parking across the street...

Is free self-parking a "recorded" benefit or just a "perk"?
I consider it a "perk" which could be changed or eliminated, just as free valet parking at other DVC properties was eliminated.
Hoping someone can help with a quick question regarding VGC studio fridges...can they fit a gallon-size milk jug and, if yes, does it require sacrificing all shelving, some, or none? I've found some info saying that only a 1/2 gallon would fit in the door but have had no luck searching multiple forums to find current info (aka, not info on fridges from 5+ years ago) on capacity for the fridges currently in the studios. We're heading for our first stay at VGC next week and I'm putting together our grocery order for the breakfast foods and snacks we don't plan to bring with us and the last thing I want is to find out our main cold storage item won't fit.
Thanks in advance!
Definitely only a half gallon sized bottle on the door. If you remove the bottom shelf you can place a gallon of milk which will take up half the floor space. See the following link for a photo of the studio refrigerator at VGF.http://allears.net/acc/grand-floridian-villas/grand-floridian-studio-1110-10.jpg
Thanks for the vlog! We were just there in mid-June, so we missed out on the new Pixar Pier and WOC. It was my DD's first trip to the Land, as well, and she loved it. I would have to say, despite my dozens of trips to WDW, that the two CA parks are better than any two World parks. Now, it's tough to be WDW as a destination, but DL's two parks are exceptional and so much more intimate. Thanks for reviving my memories.Not really DVC related but we were able to stay 5 nights at the VGC this past summer. After hundreds of visits to WDW (we live in Florida) we finally made the trip to Disneyland and thanks to DVC were able to stay at VGC. We absolutely loved it and the parks as well. My daughter made a video which shows how much fun we had. One thing they did at the pool was passed out desserts FOR FREE!!!! Is that normal? We were so surprised. Cupcakes one day and some sort of rasberry tart or something. ( I missed getting one but daughter was describing) Loved everything about the hotel.
We missed Pixar Pier as well. We were there early June. We were at Magic Kingdom the other day and my daughter said, "I miss Disneyland".Thanks for the vlog!

We literally left the day of the special event where you could buy a ticket to get in, enjoy food/drink, and have the run of Pixar Pier for the night. We thought about doing that event, but the tickets were $299. . .per person! The closest we came to Pixar Pier was our last night and they introduced The Incredibles characters in a new float for the Paint the Night parade (which we enjoyed immensely).We missed Pixar Pier as well.
