Disney Vacation Club members, rejoice! The new Grand Floridian Villas studios that were recently built are now open for all members to book with their Disney Vacation Club points. These luxurious new villas have been highly anticipated since way back in June of 2021, and it looks like there is still plenty of availability for the opening night on June 20th, 2022. If you’re looking for a place to stay this summer at Walt Disney World, be sure to check out the Grand Floridian Villas!
The Villas at the Grand Floridian are located on the monorail loop to the Magic Kingdom theme park, making access to the theme park just one monorail ride away. This project transformed the Big Pine Key building, building nine, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa into approximately 200 DVC Studio Villas, accommodating up to 5 guests total.
Previously the building was used for servicing non-DVC members using cash bookings for each hotel room, but have since been upgraded to fit the decor and accommodation expectations of Disney Vacation Club members.
New villas are anticipated to offer views of Bay Lake as well as the Magic Kingdom theme park. Information regarding the start date of direct sales through Disney are yet to be revealed, but buyers can purchase a resale contract at Grand Floridian now by working with one of A Timeshare Broker Inc’s licensed Real Estate agents.
Booking for these new Studio units has already begun, and now DVC owners with home resorts outside of Grand Floridian are now eligible to book them. Disney revealed some of the details in a previous press release:
Existing Members with a home resort at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Members that added-on at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa may begin booking the new Resort Studios on 3/14/2022 by calling Member Services. Members with other home resorts may begin booking Resort Studios on 5/13/2022 through DisneyVactionClub.com or by calling Member Services. – Disney Vacation Club
This expansion will add to the current Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa condominium association. Unlike the disparate home resorts of Copper Creek and Boulder Ridge at Wilderness Lodge, this expansion will simply add units to the current Grand Floridian Disney Vacation Club contracts. Much like the villas at Jambo House and Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Villas, a single Grand Floridian contract will apply to current and future rooms at this resort. This means, even resale buyers of Grand Floridian contracts can enjoy booking these new Studios at the 11 month booking window.
Villas at the Grand Floridian have been extremely difficult to book, largely due to the small numbers of units available in the DVC inventory. An addition of approximately 200 studio rooms at one of Disney’s most sought-after resorts is sure to be welcomed news to DVC owners.
