(2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

[LindySpirit]

The main building is RPC club level. The price difference will be $$$.

Do you want/need cl?

I have stayed in the outer buildings and its lovely. I would choose BPK for a view of poly and convenience to both pools.

Last summer dh and I ended up in boca chica and loved it. We did dinner one night at Narcoossees and to walk and not not worry about transport was nice,

Mind you my next stay is RPC. We only have 2 nights and 3 adults so I wanted the extra space offered in the lounge. Also we won't be doing much in the parks and will spend a lot of time at the resort so it made sense to have cl this time.

Not as magical? It's the GRAND it will be magical whatever category you choose

Thank you so much! This helps! I didn’t know that about CL. Now I’ll stop wondering!

This post requires more than one like! Thank you, Trish!

I can almost feel the warmth and smell the floral perfumes on the breeze! Oh, to be at the GF now that Spring is here!

You can never have too many Mickey waffles!

I agree!

Morning!!!

Everyone has me so excited for my trip, even though its so short, MB arrived Friday!!! It a 4 night trip that was supposed to me just me and my hubby, but then decided to invite the kids. We got an awesome bounce back with free dining and we were able to change the room to a deluxe outer building room for the extra space. Now I just have to hope I don't get a turret room with no balcony again.

Thanks Trish,Those waffles look delish! And gosh strawberries to go with them. I wish my trip was a lot closer. May 2019 seems so far away. I really want to try and stay at Gf club level. My dream is to someday stay in the main building. Dreams are fun to have!

Hi all, first time staying at GF. I did online check in but how do I add that we are celebrating a birthday, and we would like a room close to transportation and food as one in our party has a bad ankle. Do I email them or call? What's the email address or phone number? I'm so excited to be staying there.

I saw some loungers on the beach in January. No signs or anything to rent , assumed free. I'll be there memorial weekend and will try to check if our vacationer is too busy to check back

That sounds great! Thank you!

It's easiest to call general reservations and ask for a notation to your reservation.

Have your res # handy when you call too.

Disney has so many #'s lol. That one was for resorts so should work.

Thats great, what are your dates? We just started going without the kids for our anniversary 6/2 for a couple of nights, but my kids are not happy when we do. lol

I am so excited too, I need a vacation even if it is a short one. This winter killed me!!

It's been a couple of years and I can't remember - does the lobby of the Grand have the same scent as the BC lobby?

 

[WishesQueen]

I forgot to mention that Bath & Body has Eucalyptus Rain again. Candle big and mini and plug ins!!!

Closest thing I can find that smells like the grand!!

This winter was cold!! I’m glad you’re getting some nice FL weather soon! I can’t wait to be by the pool looking at beautiful palm trees!! We were supposed to fly in the evening of May 25th and stay at BWI for the weekend (perfect for F&G) and then move to GF on the 28th, but my college DD decided that she didn’t want to spend that much time with us so we cancelled the BWI portion...so May 28-June 3rd but our last night will be at BWI. And the College DD is still flying out Friday morning ...at least my DD14 likes Disney as much as we do!

Hello! We are currently booked for an Outer Building Lagoon View room. I just looked up our dates and we pay $600 for Theme Park View room, is the view worth it? We only planning on being in our room for rest breaks during the afternoon and sleeping at night. Thoughts?

What OBLV buildings would you request?

Well that depends. Do you just want to see the lagoon and views of poly and or CR ? Or do you want to see the castle for sure from your room?

If you want to watch HEA and see castle then go for the TPV otherwise the lagoon view rooms would be lovely.

I like The idea of BPK for LV. It's close to both pools and faces poly which I love to see.

For TPV I think I'd take what was given at check in.

Overall there really isn't a bad room at gf so it's not a big deal really what you get, it will be GRAND.

Maybe others have a better recommendations, I haven't done those categories .
