I haven't posted in over a year, but I just got back from a jaunt down to Florida to visit family for Thanksgiving. Of course, we had time for dinner at Artist Point on the way west to Sarasota, and I did a night at the convenient Hilton across from Downtown Disney (on HHonors points) before...

Just browsing the DIS after hearing about those faux kidnappers being caught at the GF (ps, any posts/liveblogs here about that!?!?). We booked the GF with extended family in 1988 for about $185 per night. My parents still have the confirmation envelope. That's $63.55 deflated to 1971...

Just posting from the end of an incredible Steelers...er...Superbowl party (my sincerest condolences to all you Cardinals fans...)...my aunt gave me the rest of the pics from our trip and I've added a couple to my GF review on page 51. Thanks for the pictures and reviews...everyone who is...

I had no idea the 'genre' had a name. I love Regina Spektor...find the song called December, it's from a demo tape. And The Ghost Of Corporate Future is my other favorite of hers. I can't get enough of Joanna Newsom. She plays the bloody harp, people. And has a self-described untrainable...

That's one heck of a dark paint job on the Inn! So much for weathering... Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the photos and keep them coming...DVB is my favorite Disney resort, period. There's nothing like the Ocean. We were there in '97, '98 and '99...and we lost almost all our photos...

At the RPC, my Mom met a woman staying for 3 weeks. She was English, but visiting from Orange County, California. Stephanie, if you're reading this, how do you book if not through Disney? One of the lovely Mousekeeping women told me that the average stay of their regular guests during...

I love your pictures. Please don't hesitate to post...every so often when I get in that Grand Floridian mood, I wish I had taken advantage of my camera and taken more videos. Here's a low-res YouTube post from my cell phone of the GF orchestra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBkQriENENQ I...

Shell- I know, right? Patti and I were sitting in the GF cafe eating soup...and Bruce Springsteen walks by outside following a group of kids. He was walking toward the Royal Palm Club 'back elevator', the one that opens across from the three big suites. I asked the elderly CM who was walking...

So I put these photos up in the huge Resort room photos thread...but felt like sharing it elsewhere on the board too. I joined my Mom and my Aunt Patti at the Grand Floridian from Jan. 5-11. After they flew home on Sunday, I stayed one night at the Buena Vista Palace to be close to the...

You know, I was wondering about that floor. They installed a green carpet similar to the one in the rooms (with a "harder" feel under foot) in place of the old ceramic tile until they get the new marble in...which was reportedly back-ordered from Italy. I think they just didn't get the $...

So I decided to post here because if I write a trip report/review on the main Resorts board, it will be bumped far down and quickly get lost. I joined my Mom and my Aunt Patti at the Grand Floridian from Jan. 5-11. After they flew home on Sunday, I stayed one night at the Buena Vista Palace to...

! I know what you mean...I tried to call CRO to find a room at the WL for my surprise extra night in Disney after the GF...I spent 20 minutes on hold, then the person on the phone spent 10 minutes "looking yew up in the systemmm", then was put on hold. While I was on hold, I used my cell phone...

Another option could be three deeply discounted rooms at the Buena Vista Palace hotel - it's across the street from Downtown Disney marketplace bus stop. The busses stop going there at 1:45 am from the WDW resorts, and although you don't get the extra magic hours staying at the Palace, rooms...

Just got back from the GF. My Mom and Aunt were upgraded to the Main Building Royal Palm Club Concierge upon check-in: room 4407 facing the castle...and room 4306 facing the castle. Moving rooms is another story, but... Both our rooms had a short ethernet cable hanging in the closet. It...

Thanks for the replies...should I give the GF front desk a call tonight to, er, politely request the room before Patti and my Mom arrive? I won't be in until about dinnertime Monday if my plane is on time from JFK. Does anyone know the room numbers of the corner rooms in Sago, Conch and Boca? I...
