    HAVING A GRAND OLD TIME! The 2013 Grand Floridian Resort & Villas FAQ

    It's been a year since our last Grand trip, and GRAND it was in every way. While I'm not going back with any delusions of grandeur, :rotfl: I do want to go back. Here's the thing, last year so much was closed at the resort when we went, no biggie. But this year with the DVC just opening, I'm...

    The beach pool IS open and being used. We were also told the courtyard pool should be open by early spring.

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    Thanks for the update. Sorry about the noise issue. I don't think the RPC has scheduled construction going on right now, so maybe it was an urgent fix. I think we fill our minds (and empty our wallets) for a GRAND vacation that it's hard to overlook somethings-like the ability to let small...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    UGH, so sorry you all got sick there. :sad: I hope you're feeling better today and can enjoy the rest of your vacation. I'm still looking for an update on G. Grill and Games if you can get one. We're scheduled to be there on Sunday. Thanks!

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    I hope painting is a great sign too! It will be SUCH a blessing to have that available for my boys. It means hubby and I could grab a few minutes a lone-or more depending on how much $$ we give the boys for the arcade and food. :thumbsup2 For sure the pool will still be closed, but the...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    Know that I think about it, we made our reservations specifically around the opening dates they gave us, (when we called to book it we talked to someone on site due to some problems last Dec), for both the pool and GG. I think that might be why we got a letter. Dreams, when are you going to...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    I don't know what in "The World" :rotfl2: happened because we were told several times that it would be opening the weekend of the 16th prior to our decision to book. Yes, the letter said it was due to open "Spring 2013." I wonder why you guys didn't also get a letter? I have no idea abot...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    We called and talked the manager tonight. GG is scheduled at this point for the end of Dec. We're waiting on a call back tomorrow to see if they can move us from Pine Key facing the pool construction. No pool. No GG. This isn't looking too promising. If they can move us away from seeing the...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    Just opened a letter from the Grand. We're due to arrive Dec 16th...not too long! It basically just want us to be aware of all of the construction ongoing, and to tel us what they've done to make sure we still have a good vacation. For instance, GG is closed, the pool bar/grill is improved...

    Not so magical Disney call...

    That's not Disney magic! Call and just talk with a manager to explain what happened. That's not right and to cost more than you could spend takes that money, I would imagine, from somewhere else in your planning/vacation. We had a horrible, HORRIBLE week at the GRAND last Dec. My dh is very...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    25th anniversary BOOKED! :lovestruc We'll be at the GF in a kittle more than a month. Dec 16-21 (with our two children). We would go alone, but we have taken care of my mil here with us for ten years, so my nosy have sacrificed vacations for all that time. Can't leave them out now and what...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    I bet it's true with the inflection of dvc will come a bigger percentage of children to the resort, I'm betting. :confused3. They're making it more child friendly, or at least trying to get away from the wrongly perceived idea that it wasn't to begin with.

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    I love the building to the left of Gasparilla's Grill (when you're looking across the marina at Cinderella Castle). Not sure what that's called, anyone? Or is there another better choice?

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    DH said we can book a 2012 GF Christmas trip! (16th-21st), if I book Theme Park View, which building should I request? I will be requesting a 2Q 1day bed room for the 4 of us.
