Sorry, these turned out SO BIG. I tried sizing them but obviously not correctly.

Don't apologize. IMHO, pictures of the lovely Grand could NEVER be too big.

Is turndown service automatic for all rooms?

Yup.

Just booked our family trip to GF Club Level for Sept 15. 7 nights. We will have 2 adjoining rooms - so I think this puts on into Sugar Loaf?

This post has been a blessing! Thank you all for sharing.

We stayed here 7years ago in Boca Chica so there have been some changes and we are looking forward to all of it.

Questions:
1. What kind of soy milk do they have? I zoomed in on the posted pic from Gasparilla's and it looked like Silk As Soy but the vanilla. Can I get plain Soy milk? The allergy child doesn't like the vanilla taste.

2. Anything I should ask in my room request? I love being able to sit out on the balcony and hated the Poly because all they had was ground floor rooms by the time we checked in (plane was delayed in Detroit due to mechanical issues for 10 hours).

3. Tipping - how much for the person who brings our bags to our room. How much for the maid service? Do you like to tip them daily or at the end?

4. The one thing I did like about the Poly was watching Wishes from the CL room. Where's the best place to watch from GF?

5. I use Amazon quite frequently at home. Would love to have a few things delivered to GF (again, the food allergy kid) - do I use the main address?

Ok, I looked last night for Soy, they only have small 8oz Organic Soy cartons.

Thank you Sue M! That should work perfectly! No flavoring.
Now I can cross that issue off my list.

I'm getting more and more excited each day!!!

baler31 - Thank you for the pictures. Food looks awesome in RPC. Makes me rethink, if we ever go back, to stay in RPC again! I know food is the same in SL, but the feeling is totally different.

AngieTN - Have a fantastic time at the GF. Can't wait to hear your view on the GF. It is magical! Enjoy your time there. It will go by so fast.

Agree on the food pictures!! As some of us say on here, "it's all about the food!".
Angie, enjoy your Grand vacation! It's the most wonderful place!!

Just so you know, water is free at all QS locations, all parks. And often found outside the entrance to many TS restaurants.
May find you need way less than you think you do

Thank you! I will be stuck in the room with a napping baby a lot so will need it there. Plus we are going on DCL after we leave WDW so I need bottles for excursions and the room there. I am breastfeeding so I needs lots of water! DH an the kids will use gatorade powder to make bottles of water into gatorade as well. I would say I def need a case.

I don't remember seeing cases of water at the GF, I had a renal car so I stopped at a target down the road and got a case of water, and some snacks there.

We are booked in a lagoon view room 10/11 for 4 nights.
I cannot decide where I want to request a room location.
I like quiet. So boat horns are a concern. But a great view is always nice.

Yup. Twenty-four 12oz bottles of Dasani for $6.99.

Here now and I see an Amazon delivery guy that almost lives here. Seems to have a parking space for an amazon van next to the convention center.

Also, right before we left I was looking through some old photos and found our folio for a stay in January 2003. The rate for main building concierge with AP discount was $250. My what a difference 13 years makes.

Very jealous of anyone at the grand right now and people who check-in in a week or so. We still have 79 sleeps.....not that we are counting

Love all the pics, it's making me very excited

Quick question....will bell services hold our luggage on check out day? We are planning on making the most out of being next to MK and spending the day there.
