Well thanks to my DD I now have an avatar....Booked a BB for the fall...now if I can only figure out how to add a new ticker to my siggie...

Hope that everyone is having a terrific Thursday.... Confused GF gal who hopes to eventually figure out how to get a new ticker....lol....

Good to see you back, Blue! I was sure you had the "Grandest" of times! Another trip?! Lucky you! Our visit is less than 3 months away... Is your Bounceback at the GF?

Does anybody know whether or not the Alice in Wonderland splash area at GF is treated as a pool in terms of restrictions? Since we're staying next door at the Poly and not the GF this summer, I know the GF pools will be off limits to us...but the splash pad is described as a playground and doesn't appear to be fenced in from what I see in pictures. I'm a real stickler for rules, so I want to make sure we don't break any.
Thanks!

There is a gate around the splash area.. I would think it is considered a GF pool play area

That woukd have been nice! We lurked around GF & Poly a few times while we were there. I had a great trip, stayed at ️POR Royal Room, super cute. Still getting over my knee surgery, so was a slow relaxing trip. I don't know where the 10 days went!! Now looking forward to August trip!

Hope you had a great Vacay too!

 

[Sue M]

Anyone at GF right now?? I want to know if they have the large 2oz sea marine shampoo in the room or do I need to bring my own

We were there in August, it was just the regular size Sea Marine, 1 oz? Both in CL & regular rooms. We asked for extra as both my daughter & I have thick wavy hair.
And I like to take some home . I still have some turn down choc!

Happy Saturday, GF pals...
Still not used to this new look. How do you PM someone? I don't see a link anywhere.

Thank you!

We are booked for an outer building garden view. I would prefer the first floor what building should I suggest?

I think you have to click on your own name at the top right, then there's something about starting a conversation...that's what the PM feature is called on these new boards.

Thanks, phyllis..I saw that feature and wondered.
Candy, love the photo of Cinderella's carriage against the backdrop of the Villas!

My daughter is scheduled for her senior pictures next month at the Grand. Any suggestions for locations? She has her 8th grade grad pictures four years ago. Had them taken in lobby and on beach.

Her picture is beautiful.

We used Nate and Jensey Root from Root Photography. They are pretty well known in the Disney weddings circles. They used the ivy wall near the loading dock.. It's behind the bus stop.
They also used the fountain in the courtyard and around the boat dock

I love Palm trees at the Grand!!!

Hey guys. for anyone following my trip report or anyone looking for club photos at GF, I finally posted day 3 of my trip with mom which includes photos of the RPC and 2 bedroom suite. GF starts on pg 3

 

[followthatmouse]

Hello to my dear fellow GFers! I hope all is well.

I'm sorry that it has taken this long to touch base following our December RPC festivities. I think the travelling knocked us about quite a bit this time. So, I am only just getting back in the swing of regular DISboard life.

The Alice in Wonderland play area is fenced in with the pool, so it is reserved for GF guests.
