Snow ..in April...

Trish ...
I agree..the only snow that I like is Disney snow...lol...
Just saw over on the restaurant board that BOG has opened breakfast reservations up to 7/18.
Just got 8:30 AM on 7/10.
Now I need to decide if I want to keep the breakfast and cancel the lunch.
That's great!!!
I say keep em both
abk..and don't forget to come back here and tell your GF pals what you thought about the breakfast...the menu looks good!
Just came back from our trip. Stayed at the GF at the Sugar Loaf on the last night. It was a great stay. We had downgraded from the RPC before the trip and I honestly did not feel like we were missing out on anything since we could visit the lobby as much as we wanted.
So happy to hear that you had a great stay..SL is so very nice...and you're right relaxing in the lobby in the evenings is a very nice option...
Well Blueskies, are you booked? Bumping us back to page 1!
Tom
Tom Since you all kinda sorta encouraged me...lol...
..Switching it up though..going to stay at the BWI..for now...
Thinking about BC though...lol...
Hi everyone! I'm a long time lurker on the GF resort threads and I am staying at GF for the first time ever this June for a convention. I'm so excited! The room I have booked with the convention rate is an Outer Bldg - Garden View and it will be myself, DD6, DD3, my mom and grandmother. Does anyone have a recommendation for a room request? I will be at the convention from 7:30-1:00 each day so mom and grandma would have my two girls during that time. Also, can anyone give me any tips or fun things to consider while we are staying at GF? Thanks!
Welcome to the GF thread!!
...Sounds like a perfect work trip...
...all how lucky to get to be on a trip with so many generations...
..that's wonderful! Although
Tom is right about Sago being the closest to the convention...and everyone has their own preferences...Sago is my least fave GF outer building....it seems a little more removed from it all to me...my preference for a GV room would be in Boca Chica..close to the courtyard pool...and the boat dock too.... During the day..if touring the parks is not on the agenda..there is a whole lot going on at the beach pool..organized activities..pool parties..etc...things that would be perfect for kids your DDs ages...there is also a princess tea party right at the GF in the Garden View Lounge..lots of info on the first page of this thread about it....Happy planning...Have a great trip!
Blue, Thank you for your kind words. The last few days have been great!
And, I agree with the others...Go ahead and book your trip!!
You are very welcome!
And so glad to hear that things are better! Well...since you all are kinda twisting my arm...lol..I'm gonna do it..Its just for a weekend!
..Disney friends..and Disney logic are simply the best!!
My friend
Maxie has also taught me all about Disney math...lol...
....this helps the Disney logic !
I'm so glad to hear this! We are staying SL for the first time(first GF stay) and we are so looking forward to it. We just could not justify the cost difference staying at RPC. Plus one of our kids are still really little so it's not like I will get that much relaxation time anyway! How was your room? What floor were you on? Was it loud? I know it can be loud near the lounge.
Glad you had a great time!
SL is so centrally located on the GF grounds..close to the courtyard pool..and the dock..and the main building too...and to top it off...it has the added bonus of being CL..a win win IMO....and has always been popular with my family.... the lounge being located in the lobby is a bonus too..so easy to grab a beverage or snack when coming or going!When our kids were little we always preferred first floor rooms...and only a few rooms are right there in there in the lobby area..room numbers that end with 01..farthest from the lounge... to 09/10..closest.. are right off of the lobby...but in a separate hallway..which has doors that are closed in the evening until about 7am...in many stays noise has never been an issue to us...HTH..Enjoy your trip! I am sure that it will be grand!!
If my kids were still young, I probably couldn't justify the price of RPC either. We always stayed in SL when my girls were younger, and we loved it!
Same here...we all loved it!
Funny thing is..during a recent stay in RPC the kids mentioned that they missed staying in SL...we are pool people..and always enjoy winding down out there at the courtyard pool...but it was winter..and there was no swimming going on...lol..
grannyminnie Safe travels...and have a magical vacation!!
WL is getting a whole lot of love over on the CL thread...
Can't wait to hear all about your stay! And your visits to the GF...

New policy regarding modifying reservations... Just a heads up..I was
not so pleasantly surprised the other day when I called to modify the dates of our fall trip...had to take 2 nights off due to a family event that fortunately only impacted the end of our trip...when I called to modify the CM told me she was sorry that the dates were not available with the discount for a shorter stay....
..what...the dates already are available...I have them...as part of my reservation....seems that the new policy is that if you are changing a ressie..the dates have to be available in the inventory...with whatever discount that you are using..this includes bounce backs....so that they can re book your reservation for a shorter stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????? Now I understand certain restrictions in booking ..like a 2 or 3 night minimum...but...when you are calling months in advance to make a modification....gee whiz..life happens ..things change...Much as I love WDW..this policy will be a deal breaker for us...If I have to book months in advance..to be able to obtain a discount...and also to be able to book dining..and FPP...then I also want to be able to change that reservation with out being penalized...In the end we were able to modify...as the ressie was booked before this new policy went into place....but a word to the wise...this seems to be what we will be dealing with in the future....
Hope that all of my fellow GF fans are having a super Saturday....
preppy GF gal appreciates being encouraged to book another trip!!
