Thank you for the recommendations ladies, I'm also thinking I might put a request in for a dormer room, they look so pretty and as it's just me, perfect for a solo traveller.
Sounds good Clare ...the dormer rooms do have a nice cozy feel IMO...Enjoy!
Hi everyone! I got a little surprise in the mail today! It was a cute little box with the Incredibles that says 'Get set for a vacation that's Incredible,' and then there's this cool black box with the Mickey ears image on it inside, and an individualized brochure inside of that - so cute and an example of why I love Disney! I'm guessing this is somewhat new? We haven't been since 2013 and then I think we just got a basic package of info (personalized as well) after we paid in full so this was a fun surprise!!!
Nothing like Mickey mail!!
I like to ride the boat from GF/Poly/MK at all times of the day. If you go at night around EWP and Wishes it is fun to watch those from the boat! and FREE!
I also enjoy exploring all the monorail resorts. Either bar hop or cupcake hop. They have different specialty cupcakes at each QS of the resorts. November can have some really cute Thanksgiving ones
Trish We do the same thing...Its really become a family fave to be on a launch when the fireworks are going off.... Also the idea of a cupcake crawl...lol...You know cause its always about the food...and there are sooooo many delicious options! ok I know that is not a cupcake..lol...but it was as close as I could find...
Quick question... thinking about booking a "outer building" room but there seems to be many bed configurations. We would need the 2Q plus day bed option - can you request that? And what are the chances of getting it? thanks!
As Baler posted all rooms with the exception of king rooms have two queen beds and a day bed... and it seems that those formerly accommodating 4 ..do now accommocdate 5 with the new sofa/day beds that were added during the refurbs....BTW the king rooms have day bed as well...
Unless you book a king, they all have two queens and a daybed. Ignore the description Disney gives, the important part in small wording at the bottom is occupancy 5. Even the deluxe outer rooms are incorrect, since the renovation they also have 2Q and a day bed.
..Now if the website would just be updated...
Looks like us Noreasters are enjoying an actual warm day
This is just a page 3 save!!!
I have an Easter Minnie in Lys Easter Basket of course! Enjoy your weekend peeps and maybe next week we shall get back to planning.
Page three!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol...thanks for the rescue.... Of course you have a Minnie in DDs basket.... Happy Easter to you too!!
Trish, it is 60 for the first time since October!

Spring might finally have arrived!
Well you can add me to that list!! Our favorite resort has always been the Polynesian, but with all the construction going on we decided to try the Grand Floridan for our stay just last week. We immediately fell in love with the GF. So much so that I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We loved the main pool. It is large enough that it is not overrun with kids. Of course it helps there are two other pools geared towards the little ones. From the minute we arrived the staff was a step above any other Disney Resort. We were greeted by a man with an iPad that escorted us to the front desk and magically the front desk clerk already knew our name ! We arrived at noon and they said our room wasn't ready yet next thing I knew they found a room they could give us immediately in Boca Chica, which was the building we requested. We spent 5 nights there and I was kicking myself that I didn't book 7. Next time!!!
Glad that you had such a grand first experience at the GF....I think that as a result of construction at the Poly the GF has many new fans...Welcome to the GF Groupies... ...We to have always found thee CMs and overall service t the GF to be top notch...Keeps us returning year after year... Besides..the Poly is just a short walk away...Looking forward to visiting the new Trader Sam's during our next trip....
Hope that all of my fellow GF fans have a fabulous Friday... preppy GF Gal who cant wait to start making FPP for our next trip....
