Amazing Gaylord Palms

[dgaston]

We just arrived tonight after our drive from CT. We took 84-81-77-26-95, and it went very smoothly. Once we hit 95 we saw almost constant backups of folks heading back north on 95.

I had won a Priceline bid a little over a month ago for Gaylord Palms, and when I confirmed the room was expecting 2 queen size beds, and a Florida (parking lot) view. DS15 came in to check in with me, and to our amazement the cordial desk person said we have a lovely suite for you, overlooking the St. Augustine atrium.

This room is phenomenal! We have a king bed in a separate room, two balconies, a huge dining table that sits 8, and a living area with pull-out sofa, and oversized wicker chairs facing a 35 inch TV (there's another in the bedroom).

I can post tonight because the $10 resort fee includes a computer, and internet access. Self-park was $7.

I wish I could always stay here in this kind of room--we're going to check out the spas and pools next!

Isn't it a gorgeous resort? It's one of my favorites, with the feel of being a million miles away from everything when you're down in the atrium area. Just love it!

Yesterday I was looking for a place to stay for one night in September before we move into our wedding accomodations at Disney. I had a similar bid acceptance on Priceline today. I have to control myself and not get my hopes up on an upgrade though! I know little about the hotel, so this has given me some piece of mind.

One question I do have though. Yet me know what you had to pay the hotel upon checkout. I'm under the impression that I will have to pay the resort fee and the parking fee, but am curious if there is anything else.

Thanks!

Hope you are having a great time! I'll be staying at the Gaylord this summer, also with priceline. Can't wait to hear more about the resort!
