The fountain is filled with water once again and is now running.

Glad the fountain is back! We arrive in 17 days. I am wondering how many floors they are shutting down at once and how long it's going to take them to do the soft goods refurb.

Thanks @pkrieger2287

Thanks for posting! I would be interested in the Resort Studio for certain trips if they maintain connecting rooms like what are in the GF hotel.

Me again! Went upstairs to do laundry and got to see some of the work that has begun on the 4th floor. There were a couple of doors open and I could see flooring being pulled up in those two rooms. (Lights we’re off so I didn’t take a pic.) Wallpaper in the hallways have started being removed as well.

For reference, here’s the current hallway…




4th Floor …











I’m excited to see everything completed!

Wow- I literally just popped a bag of popcorn for all of these juicy updates- keep them coming

 

[mrsap]

So… I was going through my pictures and I had taken a picture of a renovation schedule that was posted. It consists of work over the course of 11 Days, which includes painting and new carpets. Based on the work timeline and work to be completed, I’m assuming that work/schedule is for the hallways only. Also noticed the 4th and 5th floors are no longer accessible by elevator. Just thought I’d share.

Anyone know if the Spa is reopened yet?

Not sure how I feel about the rug, the rest looks nice - the living room looks more spacious w/ the new bed/couch set up, but where are the ottomans?

 

[MasonDuo]

Ottomans are gone

I think the changes look awesome! I hope the studios look good when finished. I was not a fan of the plaid headboard in the renderings.

Agree- everything looks nice but that rug. Looks similar to the OKW rug, colors a bit bright. Maybe it looks ok in person?

First time back in quite awhile, was wondering how early you can place mobile orders at GG? Do you have to wait until they open at 6:00 AM or can you order earlier with a pick up time of 6:00?

They’ll let you place an order before they open. Not the night before, but like an hour before. But they’re not serving hot food until 7:00, it’s just coffee and cold food before that.

I have some questions about the resort studios.
They’re supposed to open this summer right?
So when will owners be able to book them?
And is it the same ownership as VGF or a separate ownership?
I’d like to rent points to stay there in January 2023 but confused about when I can book and how hard they will be to get at first…

Thanks! Maybe I’ll try and book a regular GF studio at 11 months out and then maybe see if the owner can switch me to resort studio when those bookings open up..
