    1 day on Big Island

    Hi, catching up on this thread - I'm looking for the EXACT same thing (including the loads of SW points). Headed there with my 80 year old dad (for his B-day) but I'm concerned about a LONG day for him. When are your travel dates? I'm thinking about inquiring about a private tour that we can...

    Aulani Travel advice

    Did you make your travel plans already? I'm going to be doing the same thing (from Boston) in Aug. Boston to San Francisco where we have some family. We'll stop there, have a visit with them for two days, then fly from Oakland to Honolulu. Jet Blue BOS to SFO, then Southwest OAK to HNL...

    Multi-Resort stays and using facilities at both

    You may want to consider actually booking an off-site or a value for the first night there if you are arriving late. Then, on the next day, even before your room is ready at Beach Club, you get access to the pool. Then the next day - you STILL have pool access before moving to the BW. This...

    EDITED TITLE: Should DVC Owners get more Perks?

    I'd like them to add the perk of allowing DVC members to park at resorts without needing to have a dining reservation or the like. I enjoy the resorts and the different bars and lounges, but having to 'con' my way into a parking lot to give Disney MORE money from over priced drinks? Allow me to...

    Geyser Point - is this a sit down restaurant?

    I would call it a bar with a seating area. The menu is limited to mostly apps. They are very good, but there isn't a huge selection, and if your looking for fine dining - this isn't it. Don't get me wrong, its pretty much a must go for me every trip, but two of us will take down 4 orders of...

    Looking for Best Steak Dinner on WDW property

    I've been all over The [Disney] World and enjoy a very nice dining experience - and don't mind paying for it. But it sort of depends on what you are looking for in your 'dinner' experience. Just the steak and an amazing meal- I agree with Shula's - or STK in Disney Springs. But they are both...

    WDW DVC near golf courses

    Depends on a couple of factors - how many rounds do you want to play? Are you going to bring your clubs or rent? What type of golfer are you? In the past couple of years, I've changed my visits from parks to golf visits. I'm not a good golfer, but I enjoy it, and I've gotten my nephews into...

    *The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

    I would send an email to dvc member satisfaction - and to Norm Noble (GM of the GF - as far as google says). Probably norm.noble@disney.com using their own email naming. Be polite but firm about the noise issue and request 1 or 2 nights of points back. You may/may not get them back, but the...

    Best lobster rolls and/or crab cakes in or around Disney World

    I'm from New England - so lobster of any type in Florida is hard sell for me. On the other hand, the crab cakes at Narcoossee's are one of my favorites. They are an app, and are light and flavorful - not heavy and no breadcrumbs in sight. However, not sure if they will be back after the reno...

    Narcosee's...Reopening date???

    From what our favorite cast member was saying last time I was there before they closed...they are doing a MAJOR reno. The bar area is moving up front to where the kitchen is now, then the kitchen is moving further back (no word if it will still be the open kitchen), then a complete renovation...

    Report the room problems

    I usually do - I'm of the mind "They can't fix it if they don't know about it." Sometimes its easy but my last issue took three times to the desk (at SSR - not a small feet to hike down there) and needing to be in the room to explain the issue. The problem was that the Air unit wouldn't dry...

    Anyone in Studios willing to ask at Dok-Ondar's for Dooku

    Hi all, I'm headed to Studios next week (Tuesday) - and have a reservation there - one main reason is to go to Dok-Ondar's for a Count Dooku lightsaber for my Godson's birthday. However, I want to set exceptions for him, they've been sold out forever...I did read that they were back in stock...

    Recovery Annual Pass Help

    Hi there, how does one qualify for the recover AP? I was an AP holder that expired in April 2020 - and took the (very small) reimbursement for the unused time. I've been back a few times now and SORELY miss the AP. Just wondering if this situation will qualify if I call them? Thanks for the help!

    Was there this past weekend - it was open and not busy at all.

    The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra is no more

    The Enchanted Rose doesn't fit the Victorian theme much at all. It's actually pretty jarring when you go in from the lobby. It is younger/more modern...but thats not Victorian...I'm pretty surprised that the imagineers forced this square peg in the round hole. It actually would fit much...

    The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra as of Oct 3, 2020, our days at WDW will come to an end.

    The Orchestra did need to move to open Enchanted Rose - they took the space for shop there (the mens/golf shop) and what was Mizners as well as some of the space where the Orchestra was located. They sounded AWESOME when they were on the stage on the main floor - but it looked pretty temporary...

    The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra as of Oct 3, 2020, our days at WDW will come to an end.

    I feel the exact same way - and was so sad to hear about Pat on one of our trips. We were there about a month or so before he passed and he spent one of his entire breaks sitting and chatting with us - telling us about he started at the top of the Contemporary restaurant playing the dinner...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    They had moved down front and center for a time being - right below where they were - on the floor. New stage and new sound system and sounded AWESOME down there - allowed them to really play out and fill the place. Plenty of seating to enjoy and watch. In talking with the guys, they did say...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    Who do we write, email, call, fax, etc to make this not happen? This is one of my MUST DO things on a trip - a few hours with the GF Orchestra and a dinner at Narcoossee's. Many times the Orchestra is a couple of nights. I bring everyone there - been doing this for 10 years. This will be my...
