Is it just me or does the scale of the items just seem very random and off ? I cannot say that I love the decor for GF but what really bothers me is the disparity of scale in some of the pieces.
I did not personally care for the previous versions but at least they seemed Disney and Victorian, so I understood that while not to my personal taste they fit the theme of the resort.
My DD did point out that she really likes they headboard as they seem like they might be softer and she always hits her head on the headboards, especially the bunk beds at WL.
We have 8 inches of snow on the ground with far more to come. Wish we had left yesterday and headed to Disney as there is no way my kids will have school the rest of the week.
No, it's not just you.
The scale is off, the pieces look mismatched, and the room now seems bare without the benches, chair and ottoman.
I'm not a fan of the headboard as I don't care for padded headboards and the size seems off for the wall - but I can see how others might like them and by themselves I wouldn't hate the new rooms. It's the whole package that turns me off, lol.
Ah, that would have been perfect, quick surprise trip to WDW!! DD is getting that snow, too, she's got a snow day today as they are due for 12 inches accumulation.
2 weeks until I can again hopefully see what the sun looks like! A little warmth too if we are lucky!
It will be here before you know it!
We've been in the deep freeze here, too, until yesterday, warmed up to mid-30s.
Good Morning! It's snowing here in CT, and I need a GF fix! I recently learned about the walkway between GF and Poly. Tell me about it, please! How long is the walk, would it be feasible to walk through to the TTC to get to Epcot? I used to stay at the Poly as a kid, so i have great memories there and would love to stroll through if time allows. Fill a newbie in!
It's a lovely walk, very nice if you have the time. "If time allows" is the operative phrase, of course, as using the monorail would be quicker, usually.
We do not use that path for transportation purposes, but sometimes we like to walk it just for the relaxing experience - but not in the heat of summer.
Do you feel that the space on top is as much as the old armoire had?
It's a snowy morning in the south! We've had two days of it
(not complaining because it's more a novelty to us
) but thankfully, no power outage for me. Still, a visit to the GF would be a lovely diversion....
Speaking of the CL lounge..
.....they sure better not take away those scones and Devonshire cream!! This is how I would feel:
YAY for no power outages.
I'm glad you get to have snow if you enjoy the novelty, I hope it doesn't cause your area any problems.
The top of the armoire seems to have a little less space to me, with the way it is cut away over the drawers, don't you think?
ETA: oops, sorry, I missed that interaction with you and
mousemommy!
Amen to that scones and Devonshire cream comment - DD and I would join you in mutiny!
I know this is probably answered somewhere and I'm just not finding it, so I apologize in advance!!! What is the schedule for the room updates? I know they have only done one building so far but what is the projected schedule on the rest? Also is there more or less drawer space with the new armoire? We were always short on drawer space before and am hoping this will give us a little bit more! Finally, does anyone know if the dormer rooms are adding a couch or staying without? Thanks so much!!
No apologies necessary, it's all good.
As others posted, the drawer space seems moot - more drawers, but smaller.
We've been discussing the question about daybeds in the dormers and my theory is they will have them. The rooms are so spare now, with the loss of the chair, ottoman and bench that there would be no reason to have no daybed in the dormers. Just my 2 cents, though, none of us have heard the final word.
HTH! Any more questions, ask away.
Does the Grand Floridian have rooms and/or villas that can accommodate a family of 12?
I
think the Grand Villas will accommodate 12, but check the bottom of first page to be sure, there are villa descriptions that tell the max occupancy (I think). As far as resort suites, maybe the largest? I'm not sure about it, but again, there are suite descriptions listed on the first page - post #2 or #3.
ETA: just checked, the Grand Villas do sleep 12; there are some outer buildings 2 BR suites that sleep 8-10, I think some of them have the ability to add a regular bedroom on one side, here is the
link to post #3 with suite descriptions.
