Did you mean DVC? It is on the 4th floor.

Hi Lisann - nice to see you back - I was in hiding too........I hate when Life gets in the way of my vacations!!!! I'm under 60 days and really need this one......we buried mom on Saturday the 10th......cancer sucks!!!!

One of her last wishes was to be sure to get two Christmas ornaments -- one for each granddaughter so they will continue to have a new one each year.

So, anyone been at the Grand lately, what's the latest going on there besides the Gaspy renovation?

Tom

Sorry Tom

I lost my dad this year and it is very tough at the holiday time. So sweet about the christmas ornaments.

First thing I did was book a trip for my Mom in her birthday month so she has something to look forward to.

Maybe you need to book more trips? I remember Uncle Tom usually has some of the kiddos with him so maybe the grandchildren will need to go with you.

Yes cancer sucks. Thats how I lost my dads mom and my moms dad.

Tom - Very sorry for the loss of your Mother. I lost my mother 6 years ago this past December 7 and almost 30 years ago on Christmas Eve for my Dad. No matter what kind of illness they die from, it's awful.

Glad you have a trip coming up! Hopefully that will brighten your spirits a bit.

Trish - Remembering you too this time of year.

As someone else has already said, 4th floor. Ice is on 2nd and 4th.

The washer is pretty small. So, keep the loads small. We had two packets of All in our studio.

Oh, and don't forget that you can get movies from the front desk. We watched Bolt as we were packing up our stuff.

Tom Condolences to you on your loss...

Trish I think it's just great that you are taking mom away fro her birthday...making new and happy memories help to keep the sadness away...

Any new word on Gasparilla Grill?

It looks like it reopened? When I checked WDW's website on Monday, it said the place was closed. Now it's showing daily hours again. Simple Google searches show its hours of operation when, again, a few days ago it said "Closed." Finally, AllEars has removed it from its refurbishment/closed section.

Can anyone onsite confirm?

 

[MommyGina]

Hi Blue! Enjoy your Epcot side trip! How exciting for anyone to be at Disney during the Holidays. I hope you enjoy. Report back to what is going on down there.

Hi to all my other GF friends. Stay warm!

Not open at 8am today (Friday). We've found the best option to be Beaches Pool (breakfast starts at 7am and it's open until 9pm for dinner). At registration they directed us to use Mizner's lounge but the options are very limited and it gets crowded.

 

[MommyGina]

Does anyone know exactly why Gasparilla's is closed? Kitchen renovation maybe?

Does anyone know exactly why Gasparilla's is closed? Kitchen renovation maybe?

When we were there in November, the CM at Mizner's said they were doing a complete overhaul of the kitchen.

 

[dsnymomof4]

Here now. It is still closed. We walked to the pool bar to get a smoothie and I asked when Gasparillas would be open and he said Tuesday.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

We are here now...still using Mizners. They're saying Wednesday for Gasp. I will keep you all updated.

I think the last closure it was the kitchen Reno. Not sure why their closed this time. Renovating dining side? Not that they need it. I like the dining area.

Tom, I'm sorry for your loss. Nice that you have a trip coming up soon. Trish too.

Merry Christmas to all my Dis GF friends.
