Thank you so much for doing this! And thanks to all for their contributions!

We'll be there in Dec and I've been hoping to see something like this before we go. I'll be sure to send my view pics when we get back.

I have one question, please. Where are the elevators? Where the 2 parts of the T meet?

Thanks for the photos, Kathy!

I have one question, please. Where are the elevators? Where the 2 parts of the T meet?

The VGF's elevators are in the lobby/atrium areas on each floor. They are on the same side as the villas that end in xx13.

Does anyone know if you can see fireworks from a higher floor from the balconies of the rooms that end in xx03-xx13?

These photos are courtesy of jlsmith376. They show the view from VGF #1417, a Standard View one-bedroom villa on the 4th floor on the front of the building.

The first two photos are when looking to the right. They show the VGF's porte cochere with the monorail track in the background:

The next two photos show the view from villa #1417 looking straight ahead. The Polynesian Resort is in the background.

This next two photos show the view when leaning to the left. The balcony in the one of the photos belongs to Villa #1415, a Standard View studio. The Wedding Pavilion is the white building in the foreground.

Thanks, jlsmith376, for sharing your photos! I adding your villa to the list in Post #2 of this thread.

I'm actually pretty excited about these standard views. I want the monorail outside our room!

Thanks so much for sharing....

How is your fireworks view from this room?

From Room 1218 there was no view of the fireworks (except maybe an occasional burst - we were there Oct 27 to Nov 2); my sister was staying in Room 1225 (2 bedroom, standard view) and she had a great view of the fireworks. This is from Room 1225 on October 30, when the Red Sox won the World Series - there were fireworks at midnight.

I'm sorry the fireworks photo is so huge. I'm new at Photobucket and using it with iPhoto. I'll figure out how to make the photos smaller for future posts.

Thanks, hbun04! I'm adding your villa to our list in Post #2.

Wonderful! Thank you.

Checked in today. Horrendous problems with magic bands. We checked in a little afternoon and didn't get bands straightened out until almost 6pm. One person in our party (there are 3 of us) is still not able to use her band. The cm's have been outstanding!! We didn't ask for anything but because of all the problems we have had, we were comped lunch, given special fastpasses for each park, tickets to a sold out MVMCP tonight (I was too piped to go, but the other two are there now), and best of all we were upgraded to a one bedroom standard view villa when we booked a standard studio!!! We are in a handicapped villa and it doesn't have the jetted soaking ton or stand alone shower. We have a regular tub/shower combo with hand rails. Also the fridge is a regular stainless steel fridge. Housekeeping came by to do turndown service and left four chocolate candies. The staff here is incredible and I will be sending Disney a letter on how great the d'art have been. We kept thanking them and they kept apologizing and saying how sorry they were for all the problems we have had with the bands. Totally not their fault, but they have more than made up for all the craziness with the band!!

We just checked out of standard view 1 bedroom 1309. This was a handicapped accessible room. This was somewhat of a disaster with DS who is just starting to walk. He was the perfect height to turn on the stove and microwave, open the oven, and start the washer and dryer. I feel like I spent all my time in the room trying to make sure he wasn't hurting himself. Since everything was lower it was exactly at his level. We should've asked to move, but oh well, lesson learned. We are now at Saratoga Springs. I will post pictures of the villa and view when we return home. Overall an amazing stay and now that we are at Saratoga Springs we are going to go to the sales center tomorrow and look into an add on.
