We will be leaving Sunday for DGC. We have a 2 bedroom. Does anyone know if they have a Keurig for the coffee makers or just standard coffee makers? Thank you.
VGC map is linked in my signature...I've been looking for a map of the DVC rooms and for some reason can't find it...
No photos, but the VGC renovation is essentially "soft goods" only.Does anyone have any recent photos of a studio? Have they been renovated like the hotel room?

Oh, so in addition to hanging out at the WOC dessert party we are going to be neighbors too? If I see a large group at GCV with kids that are arguing I think I will know who that is!I am going to pay attention to the responses you get to both those questions! We’ve had room requests in for months for our 2 bedroom, but I didn’t think about how construction might make those requests less ideal. And we’d also love to at least check in early on our first day-we’llbe Coming from a vrbo in Balboa Island.
We've stayed at VGC twice since we bought our contract and check in time doesn't seem important to them. Both times we've arrived at the hotel around 8 AM. 1st trip, room was not ready until 1 pm. 2nd trip, room was not ready until almost 5 pm!!!Another question. We will be checking in early like around 9AM. We will have a 3 year old and want to get to the room as soon as we can. I get that they cannot guarantee anything but what should we expect? A text when the room is ready for us? By 3PM at the latest? Earlier is how likely on average?
The PxP (using your abbreviation) view will be more "interesting" with park lights and sounds (when door is open). 5514 is very quiet, perhaps the most peaceful room in the hotel....So the week we are there PxP is still under construction and WOC is not playing until our final night - and we will be seeing WOC that night. Wondering how the theme park views might be less worthwhile than normal? We are in a 1BR. Should we go for end units like 4514 or 5514? Is there a good place to see photos from those rooms?

As to what to expect, expect that you won't get your room until 4pm. In all of our stays there, I would say that 75% of the time we got our room at 4pm or after. If you get in earlier, consider yourself lucky.Another question. We will be checking in early like around 9AM. We will have a 3 year old and want to get to the room as soon as we can.

Is there any point then in trying to get over early to check in? We will be staying at balboa island the two nights before-I’d thought if heading over first thing Monday morning to check in. Any thought of whether it increases odds of getting one of my room requests or earlier room availability? Or just as effective to wait til afternoon?
Checking in early can help with room requests. Although the CM will not tell you, the check in form shows your room number. If you don't like the initial assignment, you can request a change. Once checked in (even if it is not ready), your room assignment is essentially "locked" -- preventing guests checking in later from changing your room assignment.Is there any point then in trying to get over early to check in?
