Thank you for the info and the photo! I think we'll do great. Super excited. If only August would hurry.

It will be here before you know it.
I wanted to chime in about shipping water - we have used Garden Grocer in the past, and will again for our May trip. They ship to Disney Resorts, and resort staff delivers it to your room. I also have them ship some fresh fruit as well to have on hand.
Thanks, good tip!

What kind of minimum order do they have? We looked into it once, not sure of the company, and it was $40. Since we only wanted water, it didn't work for us - but for many, they add their breakfast foods, snacks, etc.
Looking out past the beach pool over the lagoon at the Poly is a great view, but like you said, not sure what it's like now with the villas there

.
The second pic of the one looking out at the Poly is my favorite....I couldn't get enough of that view from our balcony

. I love the one of the monorail too (I have one just like it) as I loved watching the monorail pass by

.
Loved those views, too. We haven't had a room overlooking the Beach Pool in a while, since before the construction started.
Hi folks, great thread with tons of info. So excited as I just booked my first stay at GF this summer with the amazing summer discount. I was wondering if anyone knows or has and pics of the outer buildings with garden view, this is the type of room I have booked and was just curious.
There are lots of photos on the first page.

Are you looking for photos of the room itself - or of the garden views? Either way, there's a post with room pix, I think it is post #4 (there is an index at the bottom of the first post with direct links). There are a lot of links at the top of this post to views from the various buildings.
Here is a
link to the Guest Room Photos post. Lots more info on the first page, though.
Good Morning Everyone!!!!
Very busy with junior-prom here...finally done!!! Then had to catch up on everything that went to way side!!!
Now....ready for my July trip!!! Did I miss pictures of the new rooms???
Quick question...friends of mine are going to WDW in May and I want to send Chocolate covered strawberries to her for her birthday. I've been searching and can't seem find any restaurants other then room service that has them. Does anyone have any info for me???
I am sending a mini cake to her daughter and a chocolate slipper to her sister and a chocolate mold to her son. I am trying to come up for something else for her (all these May celebrations!!!!)
Is your school's prom over already? Or do you mean finished with the prep? Either way, glad the work is finished.
As
trishadono said, I don't think there are any restaurants that have chocolate covered strawberries. Private Dining is the only way to have them delivered to the room, as far as I know. We have done this at various resorts over the years, it is always a nice presentation - they will customize it, you can add a white chocolate Mickey or various messages. There is a list of "amenities" on the first page, I'll see if I can find it for you. (maybe in the Restaurants post under Private Dining...brb)
The photos of the new rooms are linked in the above link I provided for
ChiDisneyFan, the red text at the top of that page has a link.
Pictures of the new rooms are on page one.
I get my choc strawberries at the confectionery in MK or villian shop in HS . I have not seen in my usual restaurants.
I think room service is best bet and hopefully they could customize something for you?
It is amazing how quickly we get behind when focusing on our families
My dd away at school this year and I have cleaned out very closet and drawer in the house.

I never had this much free time. Enjoy the chaotic- ness , soon it will be over.
Wow, you have been busy.

I haven't done any closet cleaning, and my kids have been gone for years.

Agreed, you have to enjoy the chaos while it lasts, soon the house will be quiet.
We get choc strawberries from Main Street Confectionery, too.
Congrats on your extra discount!
I'm bad. TPV room is 4403. I misunderstood the room request! I saw standard queen and figured that was two queen beds. Sorry for the misinformation.
k&a&c'smom - college branch is close, but DS does not want to commute.
Oh the pictures from the Grand are spectacular!!!! It looks so warm there. It is 18 degrees right now. Will this cold ever go away?
Have a Grand day my friends.
Totally understandable, it can be hard to get the meaning in writing - no worries.
Aww, that's too bad about the college. Well, is he going to go with his 2nd choice? Good luck to him, choosing your college can be hard. Two of mine ended up switching after the first year.
Yes - will it ever end?!

Sorry for your 18 degrees, hope you get a warm up soon.
