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 easily accessible refillable mug station.
It doesn't seem that long ago that they refurbed when taking out the arcade. Best move ever! No idea why they'd need another refurb . Sad, we arrive at Poly on 8/22 for 2 weeks. Was planning a trip or 2 to Gaspys, my daughter loves the Gaspys burger, and I like the salad bar. Boo!Just in case anyone is headed the the Grand at the end of August...

I am also wondering what they could possibly be renovating?? They did such an awesome total remodel already! Sorry for those of you that will be inconvenienced. That's really annoying! At least you'll have Captain Cooks (Cap'n Cooks?). Hurricane Hanna's over at BC closes at 9pm which is very inconvenient (we learned the hard way when we were there earlier this month).It doesn't seem that long ago that they refurbed when taking out the arcade.

There is a mug refill station at the Beach Pool.
Good Evening
Lots of great pics...Thanks Baler31 & Blue. Makes me wish I had a trip planned.
This was from my last trip to the GF in 2012, was waiting for some friends to arrive, yes Blue I'm talking about you....This was the trip where we commandeered one of those carts for a photo session

I stayed at the GF back in December of 2012 when GG was closed for refurb. Mizner's became the QS spot for refillable mugs and other quick service needs (QS breakfasts was what we usually used it for). It wasn't inconvenient, but didn't have GG to compare it to at the time!

This thread makes me so excited to be going back to the Grand in August! I'm loving all the pictures...keep them coming!
I tried to get back to GF for our July Anniversary trip but it just isn't available for our dates/discounts! All these lovely pictures will have to carry me over until we can visit again!
Please keep them coming!
A displaced to BWI GF girl!

Liz Keep trying..I have had rooms open up up to a week before trip time.... ..we don't want you to be a displaced GF Gal!! Congrats on the anniversary trip ...GF or BWI I am sure that it will be wonderful! I am a fan of the BWI too...and would easily choose it if the GF were not available...as a matter of fact our winter trip is going to be a BWI/GF split.... The proximity to Epcot will make for some very convenient anniversary dining for you....
Hope that everyone is having a fabulous Friday... preppy GF gal who really needs to finish unpacking...
We have just booked 2 nights for next April to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
Been past so many times on the monorail but this will be our first time actually staying there.
