    The *New* Grand Floridian Resort and Spa FAQ thread (NOV 2008)

    I used online check-in for my GF stay and it worked fine the other day. I called and spoke with a CM and she told me my room requests that were added when I made the reservation would still be attached to the reservation even if I did online check-in. I'll find out tomorrow when I get there...

    Stroller advice

    I ended up going with orlandostrollerrentals.com. I couldn't justify buying a double stroller for this trip. My DD4 never rides in a stroller at home, and while I'm sure she'll use it some at WDW she is not far off from outgrowing stroller use period. I hope all the good things I've heard...

    I see that Online Check In is now live.

    I called and spoke to a CM about onlne check-in because of the difficulties I was having entering specific requests through the online check-in. She said that since my requests were entered in their computer with my reservation, I would not need to re-enter it through the online check-in as it...

    When calling Disney, what is up with questions?

    I thought they just did it for market research.

    I see that Online Check In is now live.

    I was just trying to do the online check in and I believe they are having technical difficulties. I have been trying to enter specific room requests and when I open that option a separate dialog box opens, but I am unable to enter anything into that dialog box. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I see that Online Check In is now live.

    I've been debating on using the online check in but haven't yet because of the specific room request I made. I do seem to recall seeing somewhere a description of the room assignment process. I thought the resorts assigned rooms a week in advance or something like that. There was some...

    How has the Dis helped you?

    I was just thinking about all the things I'm doing differently on this upcoming trip now that I've found "the Dis". What's your list of Dis trip improvements? Mine 1. Orlandostrollerrentals.com 2. Garden Grocer 3. ADR scheduling 4. Crowd calendars 5. Preferred MKV rooms at GF 6...

    You know your child has been to Disney too many times when...

    My DD used to think riding on a bus was a WDW attraction.

    Stroller advice

    I know I'm being paranoid, but I'd be concerned about getting a rental stolen. Don't know why. The last thing I need is to end up having to pay for replacing a rental stroller.

    Did you take your 2 year old girl to a Princess meal?

    We're doing 1900 Park Fare for the first time in 11 days. I've heard great things about that one too. Only bad thing about Ariel's grotto is you have to get there early or the wait can be pretty bad. Of course there's no guarantee Ariel will be at a character meal either. "Characters are...

    Did you take your 2 year old girl to a Princess meal?

    Do it. My DD4 had her first princess character dining experience at 26 months, and she loves to look back at the pictures. She loved (and still does) all the princesses. We did Akerhaus and CRT that trip. The princess interaction was better at Akerhaus but you can't beat eating in the castle...

    Anyone ever ship to your resort room?

    I'm trying to order a stroller (after seeing the $31/day double stroller rental rate) but there is a chance it won't arrive before we leave so I'm considering having it shipped straight to your resort. Has anyone ever done this? I'm assuming they would just hold the box for us if it arrived...

    Stroller advice

    I've been looking at the stroller swaps and can't find one that coincides with my trip timing. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Stroller advice

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but since the search function on this site is unreliable, here goes. What is a good double stroller scenario for WDW? I've seen many people recommend Maclaren and Peg and some others. I'm looking for something for my DD4 and DS1. She will ride some as...

    March 8-14 EMH hours?

    I'm going to be there that week and I remember seeing that the regular EMH hours changed after the weekend of the 7-8th. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that daylight savings starts that weekend, so they are switching the days around to a different schedule. I remember...

    I highly recommend keeping your trip a secret (Youtube link added)

    We made our trip a Christmas present for our kids. I ordered the customized maps online and wrapped those and gave them to my DD4 to open. She immediately figured out they were maps of Disney and she had a spry smile on her face but she wasn't quite sure enough. We had to coax her and ask her...

    The food of Disney past...

    I miss the days (back in the 80's) you could walk through the gates at MK in the morning, walk up to Cindy's Castle and make a reservation for lunch on the spot. Then show up for lunch hours later and order off of a full menu. They had a pretty good French Onion Soup.

    Is this correct???

    But everyone included in the package has to get the same ticket, so that wouldn't work with the rest of the family.

    March 8-13

    We will be there March 4-11. The crowd levels were projected mostly at 5 and 6 with maybe one 7 thrown in for that time on the touringplans.com webstie.
