Resort Thread Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN Resort & Spa + Construction Updates!! **LOBBY REFURB STARTED 4/14**

[stal]

First time staying at the Grand in August!

Has anyone done the Glow Party?

Also - looking at the Recreation Calendar posted for June - August it says the Campfire is at 5.30pm - 6.30pm. This seems incredbly early! Same period last year was 6pm - 7pm.

Wanted to share…

Our friends are at The Grand. I asked about the pool and here’s what she said:

“Both times we went to pool we had to scan our magic band and they gave us a yellow band, the girl said they have stuff in the works for this.”

To all who have GF stays around the corner, I wish you a wonderful time. Now, I beg an indulgence. It’s a cold, wet and windy winter’s night down here. One thought that warms the cockles, though, is that it’s a mere 180 days until I can slip into one of these …



Sorry for the giggling.

Cross-posting with the CL thread. I recently cancelled a Deluxe CL room at GF with a Bounceback rate for end of July 2025. In case anyone here was looking for that type of room. Between my son's GF joining our July trip (and making us a group of 5) and the construction in the GF lobby, I'm pushing out our GF trip to summer 2026. Sad that we won't get to try GF CL this trip, but I hope we can make it in 2026.

Can you still get your picture taken with Cinderella’s glass slipper? Is it always on display or only certain times of the day?

We were just there last Sunday on a monorail bar crawl/progressive dinner and while the backdrop is always out, the slipper and the photopass photog are only there basically during the day. We showed up around 8ish iirc to pop into Enchanted Rose and it looked like it was done for the day.

BTW we started at Wailulu doing drinks and apps, then Enchanted Rose (I love those dang croquettes and the cheese board!), and ended at Steakhouse 71 lounge. Our server at S71 congratulated us with a little pixie dusting after we mentioned we'd completed our first monorail lounge crawl too.

I forget about the S71 lounge! I usually grab a drink at the outer rim to have food from CC with it. Maybe next trip!
