Me again. I'm wondering if anyone would like to take a guess if one or both pools will be open for swimming around the second week of August. I noticed the construction walls around the beach pool in some of the photos, but didn't know if that meant that the beach pool would be closed for swimming. We would be happy with just one pool open, if that's the case, but I think my grandson would be very happy if the themed pool (the one with the slide) was open when we're there. Of course he will be thrilled with either pool, but just wondering. This will be our first stay at GF and we're beyond excited!
TIA!
The Beach Pool has been enclosed by walls, but has remained open throughout the construction.
Hope this helps.
aprestwich - I googled "Grand Floridian Crib photos" and came up with this link - hope it helps!

bethclayton, thank you so much for posting the photos. I think we'll rethink our favourite room! It does seem a little churlish to complain when we are so fortunate to spend so much time at WDW and the GF. But, we have a construction site next door (fascinating, noisy, unsightly) and the people above us are currently gutting and renovating their apartment (just noisy...excessively noisy!). So, we had hoped to spend our vacation time away from building sites. Oh, well. Can't be helped.
Ugh... Those construction pictures make me so sad... We are getting married in the wedding pavilion with a reception at GF's white hall room in December... Hoping the construction won't be too noisy (ceremony is 10 am on Saturday) or ugly then
Does anyone know what it's supposed to look like by December? We are also honeymooning at the GF.
Hi, everyone. This is a great thread for GF fiends. We are going to WDW with my parents in September and staying in three RPC TPV rooms. My parents are older and have mobility issues. My thought was that staying RPC would make getting breakfast that much easier for them and the monorail will make getting to MK and Epcot more convenient. (They will have scooters.) Also, Dad likes his music, so I thought being at the RPC would give him the opportunity to listen to the orchestra and pianist most readily. We have ADRs at California Grill, Narcoosee's and Jiko. Most likely, my parents will not go to the parks every day, but will use the courtyard pool although they might prefer the feature pool because of the zero entry aspect in which case I suppose they would encounter some construction barriers. Is the construction visible if you have a TPV room?
Overall, do you think the construction will affect our visit very much? I have to say that in all my trips to the GF, something has always been under construction whether buildings were being renovated or the tile in the lobby was being replaced, so it won't bother me. It is my parents' first trip to WDW in about 15 years and their first trip to the GF ever, so I want them to have a really magical time. Many thanks for your help and for this awesome thread.
Hi Everyone,
My question today is if anyone can tell me about both the cribs that you can get and the pack n' play playpen that they offer. What are they like? Any pictures?
We're undecided about driving or flying, so knowing what our options are for sleeping might help decide. Anyone that's been to the GF with a baby and has some thoughts or tips, it would be appreciated!
