I'm sure everyone knows by now, but I thought I'd post anyway.... Disney Visa released the cardholder spring discount for packages up to June 14.

here's the link if anyone needs to see if it might help you...
http://disneyrewards.com/offers (hopefully it's okay to post this) Save up to 30% at select Walt Disney World® Resort Hotels for stays most nights 2/18 - 3/23/2013 and 4/2 - 6/14/2013. :yay:

I hope helps someone! After staying on the phone for 3 hours on hold, I finally got through and saved $ 909 on our trip. So it was really worth waiting for!! :yay:
 
I'm so excited for you we just got back a month ago and and we usually book TPV we have stayed in the Conch key or the Sago key they both have beautiful views of the castle and fireworks. So I would request either one. Have fun planning your trip,it is beautiful there at Christmas!

Thank you so much for the information! I will definitely be requesting one of those if I can. :santa:
 
According to the announced schedule, the DVC building is supposed to be open by next Xmas. If its not open, the exterior should definitely be done at the very least. Plus, with a theme park view, you'll be facing the opposite direction. Enjoy!!

Thank you so much for the information. I have been looking at all the pictures and trying to get my barings straight. LOL This is the first time we have ever stayed there and our first trip in 4 years . . . I'm just so excited. :santa:
 


Keep your fingers crossed for March, 2013 for pool opening! We won't be there until July. Hope it's open for all of you going in the spring.
 
Can anyone guess as to whether or not the courtyard pool will be open by the end of April? We are scheduled to arrive at the GF on April 29, and it sure would be nice to have it ready to use!

Edited to add..I changed over from WL and have not changed the ticker!
 


Hi, I am so glad that I stumbled across the DisBoards and this thread. I have taken the past two days to go through the entire thread and boy am I overwhelmed and over joyed all at the same time.

We are looking to book the GF for this summer in either a garden view room or a club level room - outer building? We have not booked yet but we are hoping to do so within a week or two. Not sure if club level would be worth the extra money for us or not. Instead of club level, we might put that extra money toward a fire works cruise and those little white boat rental's. Lots to think about. But good things to think about!!
 
I’m very sad to let you know that JungleCrusier, Sarah, has passed. To those of you who came to know this lovely, funny, caring woman, you know how much she lived for her Disney trips and how much she loved the Grand Floridian.

If you would like to, please visit this link to share your memories and thoughts of Sarah, which will be shared with her family. God bless.

Thank you for sharing this here, too, Janet. Sarah loved the Grand and she will be greatly missed.
 
Thank you, Janet. I know what a difficult time this is for you...and those of us blessed to call her friend. We will miss her friendship terribly...she was such so very special.
 
I haven't been on the Dis or the GF thread much at all...but Sarah was a dear friend to many here! :grouphug:

It's hard to think of the Grand and not think of our Precious junglecruiser She was truly a special, wonderful woman!!

I haven't been online much recently, but got word that our dear friend has left us. What a terrible loss for her family and friends, we will all miss her.:rose:
 
I have not been online for awhile (been too crazy between work and kids)

I just read about junglecruiser now...

My thought and prayers are with her friends and family during this time... What a terrible loss...

She will be missed!!!

Hi DreamCruiser. Check out my post two posts above yours.
 
Haven't been on the DIS for awhile, I always frequent the GF thread and junglecruiser was always a regular on this thread. My prayers and thoughts are with her family, she will be missed:hug:
 
She will indeed. Her family is in my prayers. Janet, thank you for letting us know.

:hug: Sarah was a dear friend to me and to many others and we all know how much she loved the GF - it was her home away from home. For those wishing to make a donation in her memory, her family designated a charity, The Valerie Fund. This was posted on the commmunity thread started in her memory, but decided to post it here as well to reach as many as possible that knew Sarah. The Valerie Fund Children's Centers provide treatment and medical services to children with cancer and blood disorders.

Thank you all for your expressions of comfort. I know this means so much to the family at this time. God bless you all. :hug:
 
My prayers are with her family. What a terribly sad thing. I remember seeing so many of her posts, and while I wasn't as interactive with her as some of you were, I enjoyed reading her posts. What a terrible loss.
