I just spoke to a lovely cast member at Signature Services. She said that the balconies they will be renovating from July 18 to mid-August are the common area balconies, not those in the guest rooms. She said she was not aware of any other Main Building renovations in August (but of course that...

How beautiful! Thanks for posting the pictures. I can’t wait to be back there in August!!!

Thanks for the info, Dispro1! I’m glad things will be the just the same when I get back. (Well, almost. Will miss the orchestra. So great, and such nice people! 😢) I hope you have a fantastic time in July.

My daughter and I haven’t been to the GF since 2019. Missed it so much, but these GF threads helped! We will be back at the Grand for a week at the end of August!!! We booked RPC. So, my question is… have the rooms in the main building been updated, or will there be renovations happening? We...

In case this helps... I did get through to a cast member via chat, regarding my August Grand Floridian stay. He said... You will have a chance to modify your reservation. At this time, we are working with Guests that are checking out on or before July 11.

I just read that on the Disney webpage as well. I booked deluxe room Main Building for week of August 17th. I am kind of sad. I was sure they’d open The Grand. Do you think they are going to move us to something comparable like Contemporary Main Building Or the Poly? Or would they put us in a Villa?

If all goes well, we'll both be in RPC around the same time in August, Trishadono. I would be good with just about anything. I do hope that there is some food and beverage offering. I think they will come up with something. Just need a little bit of Pixie Dust! DD and I booked a second trip, too...

Hi. Happy Mother's Day! My daughter, my niece, and I are in the RPC the week of Aug. 17th. I'm being hopeful and haven't cancelled it. We love the Grand, and aren't too bothered by the thought of limited access to rides and attractions. Just wondering... What do you guys think The Grand/RPC will...

Good morning! This August, my daughter and I will be staying in a Royal Palm Club room. We love staying at the Grand, but this is our first time in the main building. We are beyond excited and really want to make the most of it! I was wondering if anyone has tips or suggestions about the Royal...

My daughter's suggestion... wear flip-flops. They don't get hot and sweaty like sneakers do. The dry off quickly after rain storms and Splash Mountain. That's all we pack. Of course, mom always has ones with some arch support!

If you're 100000% crazy, then I guess I'm 100000000% crazy. My daughter and I have visited Mickey during the last week of August for 13 years straight! We have been there at other times, and we prefer it. The summer crowds most certainly do thin out, AND the heat most certainly does cause you to...

I'm not sure if I managed to quote Ismo correctly. Sorry if I goofed... learning curve. I checked the link you provided (Thanks!) I also would like to get going before the times posted. We are planning to do rope drop. Do the monorails start servicing the resorts before the first scheduled MK...

Thanks so much, Blue Skies!!! And this year I won't forget to upload those pix. Love your pix, Trishadono! Those nibbles look YUMMY. I think I am going to upgrade our 2016 trip to concierge at SL. You only live once, right???!!!

Hi! We'll be arriving at the Grand on Sunday. We were a bit disappointed about Gaspys refurb, but just a bit... who can be disappointed at the Grand?!!! I'm just starting to pack, and I need someone to help jog my memory. Which H2O Spa products (love, love, love them) are provided in the room...

Hi! My daughter and I will be back at the Grand August 23rd (hip-hip-hurray!). We are planning to do rope drop and be back poolside at lunch time. Does anyone know how the modified monorail schedule is affecting/will affect the resort loop, especially in the AM? I know we can take the boats, but...

Wow, thanks everyone! I am going to spend some time right now rethinking my fastpasses.

Great advice! Thanks guys! We'll show up super-early, hug the sides (hopefully elbows will not be necessary), and be poolside for lunch by 12:30/1:00. I like the blow through your fast passes and get #4 for later approach. Haven't tried that yet. Thanks again!!!

My teen daughter and I are trying a new strategy (well, new for us). Rope drop... big midday break at our hotel... park in evening. We have only done rope drop once, and that was kind of by accident. (We are at the Grand Floridian, so we're on the monorail. When do the Resort monorail and the...

Just in case anyone is headed the the Grand at the end of August... Just confirmed with a CM at the Grand. Gasparilla Grill is listed on the calendar as closed for refurbishment from Aug. 23 for approx 2 weeks. She assured me that they will have some sort of alternative... I do hope there's an...
