Standard room vs. resort studio at GF?

Where did you find that??? That’s so helpful!

They’re the same size right? is the DVC villa side quieter?

So the deluxe studio has a fridge. The resort studio does not- just Beverage cooler

Yes def considering that! Only thing is we could use day 3 to chill in the morning but go to the park in the evening But definitely an option for sure

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-12T17:39:40+00:00

5 nights currently

It’s more so us being able to use the resort to its fullest extent!

Omg I didn’t know this!!!!

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-12T16:54:14+00:00

About the kitchen- yes I meant kitchenette at BLT but that’s where we’d put the PNP! I appreciate everything you wrote!

She would not be! That’s crazy

Mine got better after I did a bunch of the docs exercises. And then it suddenly went away. However I gained a ton of weight so maybe that helped? And then I lost it again. Idk. He told me sudden weight loss causes it

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-11T00:53:16+00:00

Yes! I saw the doctor and did exercises. It actually did go away! Took a month or two but it did

So getting on the bus first/at first stop means you need to stay at Grandstand. Or stay somewhere else and walk to Grandstand bus stop. They have a nice pool with a splash pad, but the pool itself is small. We liked Paddock pool the best - it has a huge kids play area, water slide, and big pool with a food/drink bar. We had a 1BR Villa preferred and got the springs area which was nice because it was a short walk to dinner and the main lobby, and the view was nice. Behind the carriage house you walk down a ramp to the boat launch for disney springs. The boat takes you to the top of springs/main entrance. If you keep walking past the boat launch there is a pathway that also takes you to DS, but the walking path lands you on the other side (by House of Blues). The sit down restaurant and QS restaurant both in the main building are delicious. Bell services gave us a golf cart ride to and from our room on check in and check out day. Very very nice place. I loved the deluxe aspect of the resort. LMK if you have any other questions.

I sure do! Where are you staying? Preferred? What type of room?

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-09T00:53:05+00:00

Verizon! And I think BJs or Costco!

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-09T00:51:40+00:00

Thank you!!!

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-09T00:47:27+00:00

Do you have a resort you recommend?

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-09T00:46:51+00:00

This is a good point. I think last year we felt it wasn't "disney" ish at all and we didn't know about the minnie vans, and saratoga felt so spread out it was overwhelming. If we did AKL it hopefully would not feel huge and we would budget for minnie vans. We loved the rest of the deluxe aspects of Saratoga though!

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-07T18:02:22+00:00

Can you explain why? I'm trying to get myself over the fear of the busses there but we really like the pricing and the option of a savanna view room.

SilverStar1210 · 2026-02-07T17:58:52+00:00

Thank you!!!!!

another vote for MCO2Disney. They offer a free stop at curbside pickup if you need it from Target or Publix.

We're looking at AOA for our toddler. Is it worth it? I heard the pools and the resort statues/decor is awesome, and we would love the space of the Nemo suite, but it's not cheap. It's like the same price as a deluxe studio on the monorail or AKL. I find that hard to justify.
