Thank you! This is perfect...so it sounds like we will probably not face the beach pool...since we asked to connect with my Mom. We have Main Building deluxe...no King rooms-too many people!
Gotcha! Well, I'm sure you will love the rooms over the courtyard, they are spacious and the view is very pretty. And you should see some of the higher fireworks.
I'm loving this flip flop and capri weather
.....although this week temps are supposed to dip into the 40s, so it looks like winter is going to stick around a little longer
.

Awww thanks
. I'm glad I was able to help because I have gotten a lot of help on these boards and love helping others when I can
. The "control C" and "control v" are ones I've never heard of and sound too complicated for me, so I'll have to stick with my easy way
.
We hit 80 yesterday too and it was sooo nice, just wish it would stick around, but doesn't look like it's going to
. Hopefully the cold won't last too long this week and the warm temps will be back for all of us soon

We started doing the late flights about 10 years ago. We took our boys out of school a few times and found cheaper flights the night before we were originally going to arrive, so we booked those with departing times around 7-8 pm, getting into MCO around 10:30-11:30 pm. After that first time doing it that way, we have done that ever since. We have never used DME as we use a car service or rent a car, but I love getting in late and getting settled and waking up the next morning ready to go, rather than spending half of the day traveling
.
YAY for capri and flip flop weather! Did you get the snow yesterday? We had it for a couple hours, but luckily, it didn't stick. Very cold, though, I didn't venture out.
It's pretty easy to copy and paste the way I do it, but maybe hard to remember until you've done it a few times. You just highlight, hit "control" and the letter c at the same time; put your cursor where you want the text, etc., hit "control" and the letter v at the same time. DS says it may be counterintuitive to use the letter "v" to paste, lol, but it was probably designed that way as it is next to the c. I can do it with one hand, after I highlight, which is sometimes helpful.
Your flight strategy sounds like a good idea. For years, we couldn't restrain ourselves from heading to a park the minute we arrived, but these days, I think that schedule would work great for us.
Hi all!
I think in years past the cabanas have been the same price the whole year through...but..seems like there might be seasonal pricing these days.. Kind of like Tiers..lol..Tiered rides...Tiered room rates..summer... fall..weekends...It all equals to this...bye bye $$$...lol...
MickeyNut k&a&csmom ahcupcake Candy MommyGina..and all of my fellow GF fans!

Hope that everyone is having a magical Monday!!
LOL about bye bye money - true!!
We are home after enjoying our most recent wonderful stay at the GFR.
We miss it already but are prepared to return to our favorite building upon completion of the room renovations.
All the best.
Glad you had a great stay and are safely home.
We have always had the same attitude about clearing our own tables, but in the last couple years, we've asked the CMs what they've done with the tray that used to be out to return glasses, plates, etc. They have indicated it is just as easy for them to clear each table, they don't expect guests to carry it all up to the food service area - but still, we usually do, unless a CM happens to come by and get it from us while we are seated (which they often do, they are johnny-on-the-spot, lol).
Thanks for the updates, always good to hear new details!
Has Chris been on an extended vacation? We love seeing him, and the rest of the musicians - all very good.
Hi everyone I had a quick question that I know probably has been asked before but with so many pages I couldn't really find an answer. My grandmother will be with us and she can't do to long of distances, we will have a wheelchair for her in the parks but not out. We usually stay at the Contemporary and have stayed in the Garden wing there before and she was fine with that. How far out are the outer building rooms from the main building? Would you say it's pretty similar in distance? Thanks! It has always been her dream to stay there.
Yes, I would consider the GF buildings to be a similar distance as the outer wings to the Tower at CR. It's quite a compact resort, the furthest building from the back door of the Main Bldg. is probably a 3-5 minute walk, depending on your speed.
As
abk96 has posted, the closest building to the Main Bldg. is Big Pine Key - but any of the outer buildings are a short walk away, truly. And though Sago Cay IS close to the Main Bldg. itself (near Gasparilla's), it is actually the furthest walk from the entrances (front or back) of any of the outer buildings. Still a short walk, and the closest building to the bus stop, so it's all good.
HTH!
Hello, everyone!
So sick today...sore throat, fever, chills, aches...full-on flu! It came on suddenly last night after dinner, within 30 minutes, all symptoms and I was down for the count. I'm so bored, too.
What better way to make me feel better than the GF thread.
Dreaming of my next stay at GF....
Awww.
I hope you are feeling much better today, so sorry you've been ill. And bored, lol, glad you had the GF thread to while away the hours.
I bet that stunned you!
lol.....
Have our ADRs..and our FPP... personalized our MBs...we are beginning a collection..lol.. ( I still think that 
for extra time at the GF
and you know my reason other than it was Disney night
All of the CMs who work in the food prep area are wonderful, as are those at the desks.
We had a little on Monday, but it didn't stick, thank goodness. Back to our regularly scheduled spring time.
Did you end up with any of that nasty ice over the winter? I felt so sorry for everyone in the Deep South - if you aren't used to it, you don't have the infrastructure to deal with the frozen stuff, and ice is particularly dangerous.
Your trip will be here before you know it - you'll be noshing on the offerings in no time.
I understand that the CL CMs are so attentive....and often come over to the tables to clean up...but to get up and leave mess...just plain rude to me....
As for DWTS...lol... and your man Maks!!! He sure does know how to be a Disney character....
