Okay... Back to planning ... We will be in GF from Sept 4-8!!!
Does anyone know when the rooms will get renovated now that the soft goods in the poly have been replaced?
Hi there!! It was so nice meeting you at the Grand in December! I made mention of our meeting in my TR!!
Does anyone know when the rooms will get renovated now that the soft goods in the poly have been replaced?
Great minds think alike Jecon! Was just coming to post the same question...I know that CBR & WL was recently done and I think I read somewhere that one of the all stars has been too...I did find a list of refurbs online and I did see a soft goods replacement for CR coming up soon but no GF yet...
I know that when I stayed at CBR back in May it was nice to not have that big heavy itchy bed spread on top... Hopefully all resorts follow suit....
Splitting rooms is likely not in the cards for us... I have three little ones and I think it would be too much of a pain to move all of them. Thinking about it makes my head hurt! I wish the GF were just available for the whole trip... boo!

MickeyNut ~What are you up to today??? Are you on the phone changing room ressies again?????
I truly understand your reluctance to be changing resorts..although I have considered it we have never done it either...my only other suggestion would be to book a split stay and keep calling for cancellations...I have been able to add another nite or two close to my reservation time...room only ressies have a five day cancellation rule...I think that for packages full payment is due at least one month in advance...so you might be able to add to your GF nites that way... Best of luck to you...rooms do open up all the time!
Everyone is different, but we did a 2/4 split once and it wasn't worth it for us for such a short trip. By the time we knew it our first 2 nights were over and it was time to change resorts....then when we were finally feeling settled at the 2nd resort, it was time to pack up and go home. Some people love split stays no matter how many nights they stay, but we wouldn't do another split unless we went for at least 9 or 10 nights (but that's just us).
The movies are set to move back to the beach in a couple of weeks. There will be a fire pit, but no s'mores because FW charges and they didn't like that GF gave them away.

I can't believe it! DH put a deposit down on the GF DVC! It is the two bedroom one. Still have some mixed feelings about it. DS and DD are not too happy that there isn't concierge service, but there will be a kitchen. Each will have their own queen bed.
Going to see the model room in a few weeks. Opted for the standard view room.

MommyGina~ Congrats!!! This discussion has been going on in our home also...??? Very torn..We too are "club" dwellers... LOL... But the thought of having that much room on vacation has a lot of appeal...
Would love to hear all about what your impressions are when you see the model..also ..what are the different view options??? I am sure standard view is far from standard in any way...Water or TPV has never been a must for us... Congrats again!

MickeyNut~ Take the plunge..CR CL..your are gonna love it! Really...Its our second fave... (of course if I were helping you decide..you know where you would be booking!!! lol..the GF!)Besides you will need to expand your options for when the Poly is being renovated..maybe!!!???
The space does sound nice

It looks like that's what we will be doing . RPC was a contender, but after pricing it out, it quickly went to the bottom of the list . As much as I'd love to stay RPC during the holidays, I can't stomach almost $1,200/nt .....even with a good discount, it's still way more than the other resorts we were considering.....so RPC will have to wait until a future trip.
This is one of the reasons I looked into a 1 bedroom for our December trip (not to mention they are brand new ). But my DH wants to try the CR and with no chance of a discount on the villas, paying rack rate is not an option at just over $900/nt, especially right before Christmas .

Neither price is acceptable to me, either! Yikes. One of the reasons we don't go during any holiday period, the prices begin at such a high rate.
MickeyNut Those RPC prices over the holidays are crazy! As for your future RPC stay...I am very much looking foward to that!!
