Thank you for responding. Big Pine Key is the building I requested but honestly I'll be tickled wherever we end up.
I arrive at the Grand on Sunday morning for what has become an annual work function. I am starting to get excited! Was there two years ago, at the Yacht Club last year and now back at the Grand!

We are down to 28 days! I feel the same way. I did switch up a dining reservation tonight for our arrival day. We were going to eat at Disney Springs because we were originally staying at SSR. Since we are at VGF now, I got a reservation for Narcoossee’s. We’ve never eaten there, so we’re are looking forward to that, too.

Just booked a 4 nite at GF in the Sugarloaf building. This will be my 3 rd time staying club level. But I am wondering what it is like staying in the main building. Has anyone done both. What do you prefer. Is there any real difference.

Congratulations! We have 36 more days to go I feel kind of lost since all the planning is done.

The main difference is the lounge. The food offerings are the same, but the lounges are worlds apart. I didn't care for SL as I found the lounge small/chaotic and not very relaxing and since it's located in the center of the SL building, there are no windows/views. The RPC lounge, however, is large and spacious and overlooks the lobby below. There are also several large windows to sit near with beautiful views of the grounds. I will say that SL is great in the summer or anytime you will be spending a lot of time at the courtyard pool as it's very convenient for grabbing snacks/drinks throughout the day while relaxing poolside. RPC, on the other hand, is great for a relaxing/enjoy the lounge and resort kind of trip.
Yep its different but for the price SL is a great value. You get all the same food and drinks. The building location for SL is great especially for pools.Just booked a 4 nite at GF in the Sugarloaf building. This will be my 3 rd time staying club level.

What do you mean??? I thought the planning was never done?!
How far in advance do you check in? Staying CL in SL building. Arriving in 60 days...any downside to just checking in now?
Thanks for the reply’s. I am going to discuss the differences between SL and RPC with my sister. She has never stayed at GF. So the adding bonus of club level will be awesome. Something for us to consider is she has MS and will have her scooter. This trip is 13 days due to her MS and we slow it way down. She needs to rest her body more otherwise she gets so worn out she ends up getting sick and possible hospital visits. I am really leaning to switching to RPC.
Love this thread and all the pics.
Ds and I arrived 10am on Sunday. I was happy to have my sticky buns! There was no one outside to escort. MY MB didn't work on elevator so I had to wait in line. I didnt feel very special lol. However I explained I wanted an escort for breakfast before it ended and they got me up quick ( a mgr standing near by offered).
Text around noon room ready. 4202.Nope not happy not to get a turret. Dan called but no other rooms were available.This was the view. Overall it worked out fine for DD and I . The view made up for the longer walk to the lounge. Also it was super quiet on this floor.

Too hot one afternoon so I put the desk rolling table in front of the sliders and had my afternoon tea with that view.
