A Grand Victorian Holiday: Official VGF Holiday Tree Exchange Thread

[SpaceMountain77]

I will be buying the tree, so some suggests would be nice.

3-4 feet (I am of the 'Go Big or Go Home' school of thought)

if any see any online, send me the links (and do not be bashful thinking it is too expensive or too cheap)

Perfect! Your Grand tree is fittingly named after the concierge building

My family and I are arriving on nov 17. What do we have to do to take part?

Hi kristinmh99,

What is the date of your departure? Also, given your date of arrival, you would need to bring a tree since the exchange begins on November 17th. If you are able to bring and donate a tree, then we could assign it a name and potentially schedule other families to share it after your departure.

Thanks,

Jim 8O

Hi everyone,

Our VGF Holiday Tree Exchange is still in need of families that are arriving at the beginning of the holiday season (i.e., end of November/beginning of December) and willing to donate a tree.

Be among the first families to welcome and celebrate this tradition at VGF!

Thanks,
Jim

Thank you for offering to donate a tree. Although I sincerely appreciate your willingness to help, we are in need of families that are arriving at the beginning of the holiday season (i.e., end of November/beginning of December) and willing to donate a tree.

Right now, you are scheduled to receive our Conch Key tree

Sorry I've been out of touch for a few days. I believe we can donate a tree. We've never done this before so I need to do some research - size, how this works, etc.

Hi jim,
We leave on nov 23. I just need a little more info regarding this. I am traveling from mass with our daughter who will be 7 months old at the time so I am trying to be organized (lol). What size tree do people bring? Does it have to be decorated? Is it easier to ship to hotel and then pick it up when get there? Any and all info will be helpful. I am very interested in doing this just need more info. Thanks!

Hi Jim!

Our family will be staying at the Villas at the Grand Floridian over Christmas Day and we would love to have a tree, if there is one available. We check in on December 23rd and check out on December 27th. We have two young girls (3 & 6) and I had been stressing about how to bring Christmas with us when my husband found this thread. What a fabulous idea!!! Since we are flying down from Canada, we won't have room in our luggage for a tree, but will happily bring some decorations to pass on.

I'll send you a pm with our other info.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for organizing this Jim. And a special "thank you" to Jerseyduke for donating the Sugarloaf Key Tree. I simply cannot express in words how much this means to our family.
