I'm a total GF fan. I love the theming, especially the lobby. I could spend a whole day sitting there and listening to the pianist. We also love the grounds, the rooms, the dining options, the transportation options, the floral arrangements, the shopping and the CMs who have made more pixie dust happen for my little family than any other resort staff. They've upgraded our rooms, sent us flowers and cake, worked with me during construction so my autistic son wouldn't be in a noisy room, delivered our Cirque tickets directly to our room, and comped my elderly parents' breakfast after they missed it at RPC, even though this was not remotely the GF's fault. Yes, maybe the BC's pool is better, but I'm not even sure about that because as nice as SAB is, it is a little crowded and can be noisy. I've been sick and out of the Disney loop for the last two years, but I'm hoping to get back to my beloved GF this summer, if DH's work schedule allows it. People who haven't stayed there always say it is "stuffy." It is actually extremely warm and welcoming, followed by the AKL and BC imho.
