I think I know the answer to this but when you watch Wishes from GF do they have the music there?
Does anyone know the answer to this? Do they pipe the Wishes music onto the pier?

With five guests should I book a studio at the villas or just a standard room?? one will be in a playpen. thanks
We got Boca Chica pool view! Really great view. We checked in early, and when I went up to room it was a Dormer. I really dislike them. Hate sitting and looking at a solid wall. So I went back down and asked nicely if I could have an open balcony. She was really kind, and apologetic. Cause first thing I said was I hope it's not a dormer, and she said no, it isn't! The room assignor got on the phone with me and asked if I could move now. Yes!! I'm in the lobby . So now we have a wonderful view on 2nd floor.
Now I see what everyone means about the other building with pool house obstruction! Thanks for the tips.
My surprise was a success! We dropped car off at CCC, and had shuttle take us to GF, daughter thought it was for breakfast, even when I checked luggage with Bell Service the penny hadn't dropped! As we were walking to the doors, I told her!! .
Went to DHS today! Then came back around 2 to enjoy the pools. We had the usual 3pm shower, but we wanted to eat at beach pool. Bad timing. Rain chased us into Gaspirillas!
Showering now, then debating on tonight. MK has EMH. Even if we don't get in any big attractions, we can walk around, and ride people mover, Carousel of Progress, and Philharmonic type things! And take in the atmosphere.
Hi, what is the best way to get to Epcot from GF? And how long of a ride is it usually? Thanks!

Has anyone ever used the concierge itinerary planner to make the 180 day ADRs? What's the advantage over just making them myself online?
Thanks!
We're there for 3 days/2 nights with one night being in MK for the fireworks. My thoughts are that the other night we'd watch the Water Parade and fireworks from their room balcony. Does the Boca-Chica have specific upgrades for MK views that still overlook the lagoon or can I ask for a partial MK view?
Alternatively we could just walk out onto the grass in front of the lagoon and watch the fireworks that way...Do they pipe the Wishes music onto the pier out by Narcoossee's?
We prefer RO discounts too. We're here till 9/1 so I'll check next week, I seem to remember those BBs usually come out closer to the end of August. !
Have a great time! I will be checking in 11 months from now and always think about my return to the GF. My name is Gina and I am addicted to the Grand Floridian!!

It's a beautiful day at the Grand! Checked into a garden view room on the 5th floor, Boca Chica, a dormer with a great view of the pool (exactly as requested via online check in). Splash area is closed right now for some reason. Fridge working.
Hope this pic isn't too big!
So pretty! I wonder why the splash area isn't open? I'm hoping it's open when we get there in 3 days!!

When I was there it was closed probably 50% of the time. It was new then and they were taking pictures, but then it would just be closed for seemingly no reason I don't think it will be closed the entire time you are there, but I would be prepared for it to not always be open. 3 days...I am jealous
Sooooooo.....I am excited to say that I have changed next year's reservation from CR Garden Wing to Grand Floridian Sugarloaf!!!!
It will be our 1st time staying at the Grand. It's myself, DH and our two girls who will be 10 and 7 at the time. They always call this hotel "the castle" and I think it will be a great fit for us for our 8 nights (once they get past the lobby smell...I think it's the flowers, LOL!!)
I was wondering if there is anything I should request as far as a room goes. I am assuming there is an elevator in the building. I was thinking high floor overlooking pool. Is that doable?
