Best Outer Building at GF and why

[Salf777]

Have an upcoming stay at the Grand Floridan in an outer building room. Wondering if with things being so quiet they will allow us to request a building we prefer
Whats the best outer building and why?
Thanks

Which room category did you book? Garden, lagoon, TPV?

Garden. The lagoon was only like $10 more a night. Should I pay the fee extra bucks? Is it a big difference?

I usually stay in the main building, when I don’t I enjoy staying in boca Chica. We find it to be in the middle of everything. We are close to the courtyard pool, and not far from the boat transportation.

It really depends, I’ve paid for a lagoon view and had a view of a tree right outside my balcony. When I’ve booked garden view I’ve usually had a nice view of the pool. I usually request the top floor as I like the vaulted ceiling.

I've stayed at GF for work a few times. I've stayed in Big Pine and Boca Chica for work, I didn't prefer one or the other, they were both about the same. There's not much difference in walking distance between them for pools and food. The whole resort is pretty compact, so there's really not a long walk for anything.

We've stayed in Big Pine Key once and it was fine. Kind of midway between the boat dock and the main building.
