Ours dropped off at the GF nonstop so I guess it's all dependent on the time of year
Best of luck with the V&A ADR too....Hope it a time opens up!
Yup..sure didn't last long at all...
Here are some differences that I noticed from the spring to the fall...markedly during the breakfast offerings...
Each day there was ONE spread available to put on your bread (besides butter)..EITHER the boursin cheese or a strawberry cream cheese...(which was pretty tasty) and totally gone ~the lox spread..which had dill in it and was sooo delicious IMO....as opposed to the 3 spreads that were previously available each morning...??? They have added hard boiled eggs..can't remember if they were there in the spring...also there was less of a selection of breakfast pastries and muffin choices than in years past..don't remember specifically because I am partial to the oatmeal..and ever since they permanently removed those scrumptious pecan sticky buns I've kind of lost interest....
I also noticed that there were less evening desserts...and seem to be mostly the same every evening....some very good...key lime tarts..yum...
Evening appetizers seem to still have a nice variety...and some new a different but delicious foods..the soups for instance...chilled pea soup..a peach gazpacho...
And the cheese tray...still a mix of cheeses and walnuts...not any other nuts though....there was an aged gouda, Irish cheddar,brie and honey from the comb...
I took lots of food pics to share but had my camera picture size setting much too large.....and when I try and crop them so I can post them the pictures look awful..so it will be great that you will be able to take more pics to share here with our fellow GF fans and foodies!
Another nice..and tasty addition that I almost forgot..and cranberry lemonade...a nice mix of sweet and tart....and refreshing....maybe our resident mixologists.....Trish and Dispro (yes I did have a grand splash in your honor)..will have a good liquer to mix with this to make it even better!
Its always about the food..and the drink too...
We are off thank goodness
the trip was awesome overall!!

No sign of it as of yesterday, but the parks (except Epcot) are decorated, so I have a feeling you will at the very least see them starting to build it. Watching the progress has to be cool!
Yes, and it is a nicer sight than watching the crew tear it down at the end of the season. Although, there is a morbid fascination in seeing what effort went into that house each year. It's sad to realise that the season is over. You see the holiday crowds the night before, all cameras and noise. The demolishing crew takes but a few hours the next morning and woosh, the crowds disappear with the house. More Disney magic!
. So when I realized it wasn't, I thought I would put it here as well just in case it helped someone or made someone feel better about the second floor RPC Deluxe King Rooms. I did edit it a touch 
, just so maybe some people won't be so scared to book them after hearing all of these bad stories about the second floor rooms. It's one row of rooms by itself (plus the laundry), 4201-either 4208 or 4209, just above Gasparillas. We stayed in 4207 in Sept 2014, and we requested one of the second floor rooms! That seems so odd after reading recently of how everyone dreads having to get one of them if they are in a Deluxe King room, but I want to reassure people that there are some people out there (us
) who actually want them (well, except for 4201 because of that darned tree they should get rid of or at least trim!). We decided that having the picture perfect theme park view and balcony was more important to us than the bigger room and floor location. I love outdoor space, and was worried that I would really miss the balcony, and my DH was set on having a fireworks view. So after a lot of debate we requested and got the second floor rooms. They ARE slightly inconvenient, you have to take an elevator up 1 floor to get to the lounge. But for us the elevator was almost never used so it came right away, and though we agreed it wasn't ideal we also agreed we thought it was worth it for the view. I do wish there was a set of stairs so you could avoid the elevator, but it is what is it... Also, just to be clear, coming from the main lobby you had to take an elevator to the third or fourth floor, then walk down to the back elevator and go down 1 (or 2) floors to the second. But for some reason this didn't bother us much, probably because we always just stopped in the lounge to get a snack or grab a drink or diet coke for the room. It is super convenient to Gasparillas and to the pool/grounds, the elevator also goes down and comes out just beside Gasparillas. So you can get to the pool in your suit without going through the lobby, or go that way to get to the boat dock or pool or anywhere else on grounds. So the moral of this story is we stayed in one of the second floor rooms by choice and were happy there, so if you've never stayed in either you might not mind the second floor rooms as much as you think! You have a wonderful view, a spectacular balcony and the extra elevator wasn't that bad 
I posted this on the club level thread, but when I posted it I was thinking it was in the Grand Floridian thread
I know none of the recent GF conversation has been directed at me, but I'm going to butt in here and give my $0.02 about RPC deluxe king rooms
