To those who visit and shop at summer lace, I read that Guerlain perfumes are sold there and am wondering if Guerlain cosmetics are sold there as well. Thanks!

Thank you for that info! Did you book 5? I wonder if they'll let us book 5 people... Hmmm. Glad your tall kiddo fit! That's encouraging

Good Afternooon everyone
Had some unexpected surgery last week, just getting back to the swing of things and trying to catch up on the thread. So far 2014 hasn't been the best for us...can't help but think (or hope) that the rest of the year will be smooth sailing!.
Wow! Another GF FAQ already. Great work as always, k&a&c'smom!You always do such a fantastic job and just wanted to reiterate how appreciative all of us DISers are.
I remember that the GF FAQ used to be among the quieter FAQ's on the DIS and that is most definitely not the case any longer!!
It has been some time since I last posted here, so mostly just wanted to check in and say hi.My mom is already talking about wanting to book another January 2015 trip, so perhaps a trip is in the not-too-distant future. The GF room décor is still not growing on me
laughing
and we have stayed at the GF twice recently, so it's looking like maybe the AKL or BC this time around... would love to return to the Poly, but just too much still going on with the construction!
I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the start of spring! I'll try to check in here more often, but know that I am always lurking even when I don't find time to post..![]()
I agree....k&a&c'smom does a great job with this thread.
How exciting that you might have another trip in the works. We might be headed to Disney the middle of January, but nothing is definite yet.
Please forgive me if this has recently been discussed, but searching for things on here can be a beast sometimes!
I'm curious about the lodge tower room - I think they're calling it a Deluxe Outer room - garden view? Anyway, it's a bit larger than the standard and has a sofa, but it indicates it only sleeps 4 - not 5. Does the sofa not pull out like in other rooms?
So confused, but I'm sure I came to the right place. I've gotten conflicting information when I've called. Thanks so much for your help!
Another GF fan here just saying I'm not going to get used to the new decor either...just not in keeping with the overall feel of the Grand, as far as I'm concerned!
I'm about over the cold (or whatever it was) that has been keeping me down for the last week.Like all you GF lovers, it always helps to come here and dream about our favorite place.....
Plus, we are now in the 30s in our countdown, so that is even more "healing"!

Yes they have some of the cosmetics but not much. I left my foundation at mil's last May and bought some there. They had a small assortment of the basics. Mascara, foundation, lips and cheeks.
Mousemommy and A Pirates Mom, prepare to be spoiled when you first stay at the Grand!!!![]()
That's interesting...I don't recall ever seeing any cosmetics there (besides that Disney collection) ....... One more reason to be sure to make a Summer Lace visit...lol...as if we need one...

For BPK I think maybe upper floor might be good.Hey guys,
My first GF stay is coming up in a couple weeks and i was wondering what room requests i should make if i want to be close to and get at least a bit of the view of the beach pool/lagoon. Ill be in a garden view room. Im thinking big pine key? Thanks!

Oh! You noticed....![]()
I know, sooooo unlike me, huh?
Yes, I absolutely wanted to be in the MK area. I've done my usual flip flopping but I think this is it. For the past few weeks, I have thought we were going to have to move our trip dates up by a week or so, because I thought our date were going to overlap with the first few days of school, so I had switched to BC since it was cheaper....knowing that switching airfare was going to cost me extra.... But, 9/2 was confirmed as the 1st day of school, so now our dates of 8/16-8/26 are all set, and I moved us back to the GF!!!
Very excited that everything fell into place and that we will be able to stay here for the 1st time!

It's a Dis Party!!!![]()

mariamouse maybe you can jump in here..since you had a recent BC stay...
Sago GV rooms I believe offer marina views...or woodland views on the back side of that building..
With that said....GVs in both BPK and Boca Chica also have lovely views of the courtyard pool area (beware of the pool house views tho..lol..I understand that on the lower floors of BPK you might end up with that)... HTH...
BTW..congrats on your first GF stay! I bet it won't be your last!:

Maybe we will be in the World at the same time?! We will travel during MLK weekend if we do end up deciding to make a trip in January. Glad to hear that you potentially have something in the works as well!
I completely agree that the GF still has so much to offer. We will most definitely be back because of those beautiful grounds, views, amenities, etc. After all, the Grand truly is grand (even if the rooms aren't their grandest right now)!
And I will definitely try to be better about posting, although my post count over the years doesn't necessarily bode well. We always seem to frequent the same threads anyway, though, so I'm sure you will be seeing enough of me!All is well here and I hope the same goes for you!

Every year we stay at GF and every year my DH wants to go to Victoria & Alberts. I finally gave in and we made reservations at Queen Victoria Room for our upcoming trip. I know he will LOVE it, but I'm a little nervous about it. I have allergies and I'm also a very picky eater.
116 days and counting!
