It was. Liked watching the boats going back & forth, and Electric Water Parade from balcony.That's a really nice view. I would love to have that in July. Looks so peaceful.

It's all about the chocolate and I still have some in my seceret hord left lol!I would call housekeeping and say just what you told us. It can't hurt.
Also,if it's too late you can listen for the cart in case you just want the chocolates. There are times I don't need the actual turn down and they just give me a nice handful instead.
Have a great trip!!
When I did the GF/YC split, I did it the wrong way!! I did GF first. So wrong. Ridiculous, but I felt I was downgrading going from GF to YC! And we love YC. If I do that split again, I'll do YC first!!! My daughter didn't want to leave GF! Lol. Poor her, forced to stay at YC, lol! The horror!When our kids were younger SL was always a favorite CL at the GF for us...some what due to its proximity to both the pool and the boat dock...and we too always had good experiences there. ..and very pleasant stays.. ..and occasionally in the warmer months we still do enjoy staying there. ..haven't since the rehab though ..but toured it during a recent trip just to get a look at whats new and improved. ...and while I do think there is more seating...really like the benches too.. .I don't think its particularly improved. ..there is the one CL desk right in the middle of the lounge area.....as seen in the pics..and there is also a staffed podium near the courtyard pool entrance...that would b preferable to me for any CM interaction..as I think that the desk situated front and center in the lounge is kind awkward...so yes..there are sort of two desks..actually one and a half desks..lol..in the SL lounge now...
I think that I am starting to join the ranks as a resort changer........lol...what started out as a long WDW weekend ... at the BC...with the lets try something new..and as dispro stated with the appeal of SAB..proximity to Epcot and at a more economical ..and I use that term loosely...lol..rate...then evolved to a BC/GF split. ..has now evolved to an extra long weekend. ..... at the GF....no matter what we plan to do..seems we always end up back at there....Still looking forward to hearing about those BC/GF splits....as for us..maybe. .eventually. ..someday..........Off to re do the dining..again!!???
Hi everyone again! We are new to staying at the grand and we leave in 13 days! Super excited! Anyways I was wondering...how difficult is it to get a specific turndown time. I know they say turndown service is from 7-9 but I have little ones that might be in bed sooner rather than later. So how hard is it to set the turndown time to closer to 7?
While we usually spend more time at Epcot than other parks, I don't think I could be unfaithful to my GF. However, a visit to the Y & BC is always a must for us. That pool does look fun and we always fit in a trip to Beaches and Cream. Mmm.

Dormers are the rooms with a solid balcony wall instead of the spindle type. You can only see over the balcony when standing.At the risk of sounding like a total newbie..what is a dormer room??? lol
We just want to make sure we get a quieter location, don't mind being far away from main lobby. And no connecting doors.
Totally agree!!!WOW!!! That room is gorgeous.
Hi Grand fans!
Hi Blue... So no split stay?
Guess what I did this morning...changed my reservations.
We needed to move our vacation up 2 weeks and had to let go of our fabulous 35% bounceback offer.
We'll still be at the Grand for the first few nights but then we decided to change over to BWI instead of BC. The summer offer was only 20% for BC and I couldn't talk hubby into losing more of our discount. Still a good split and it's the same as last year. I guess we are creatures of habit.
Hope the weekend is good to everyone!
baler and blue, here is a link to someone's review of the BC CL lounge, that recently just stayed there: http://www.disboards.com/threads/20...nds-fun-sept-2014-march-2015.3326031/page-223 -it is about midway down the page.
I'm pleased to say I'm returning to the Grand this year
As I've only stayed RPC before can I ask for some recommendations please for which building to request for a lagoon view? I'm not too concerned about distance to the main building as nothing is really very far is it.
Thank you
We will be staying in an outer building theme park view....can you please tell me the best building. Thank you!

I was originally return to the WL (club level) but for various reasons have now switched to the GF, unfortunately my UK agent did not have any contractual rates for CL (I nearly fainted when they quoted me a price for RPC lol) so I won't be returning to the RPC this time after my wonderful stay last May. I'm happy I've a lagoon view room and of course I'm still returning which is the main thing.

Agree on both counts!We love Conch Key's theme park view...head-on and beautiful!
Our lagoon view from Big Pine Key was lovely, we were looking at the Poly and the wedding pavilion, and I've read that the lagoon views from Boca Chica are also nice...maybe someone has a photo?
Oh I see you are under 30 days now!Agree on both counts!

Yes, I am, and getting more excited by the day! By the way, I'm considering an annual pass this year. Do you know any way to bring down that awful price?Oh I see you are under 30 days now!
Hope all had a good weekend! We drove down to VA and had a pre-Easter dinner Saturday night with sil family and my mil was up from Fla. My nieces are 11 and 13 and I enjoy being around younger girls now that mine is 20!!!
