Thank you!

You're welcome

More great photos, johnsonet. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks BCV23

4 weeks ago today we checked into RPC and it was so beautiful!!!

Today we just booked another 5 nights ther for mid August!!!!

Yippee 17 days And we'll be listening to the orchestra again from the RPC lounge!!!!!

Lucky girl! Have a great time

we have always enjoyed Boca Chica if we are not staying CL but that is another nice view....

Same here I'd be interested to see what a "Lagoon View" room from Boca Chica actually looks like these days. All I've ever had in Boca are views of the MK and garden views.

mmmears, I didn't realize your trip was this close until BlueSkies mentioned it. Have fun!

Me either! Have a safe trip and a fabulous time at the GF

Anyone know if there are water bottles to tote back to the room at RPC Concierge or should I put in an order through green grocer?
Thanks!

You can get a large glass bottle to take back to your room but not plastic bottles - the WDW club levels seem to have all done away with those in the past 2-3 years.

 

[debbiemomto4]

Thank you for your answer. I probably will put in an order then. This way we will have individual plastic bottles.

We have our May 2010 dvc trip booked. Well today I sprung it on DH that I want to add on two nights at GF at either the beginning or end of our DVC stay! He's said he'll think about it. That's better then a flat out NO! haha

Wish me luck guys!!!

Good luck!

Maybe point out to your DH how many points you can save by booking a weekend on cash? We do that all the time....my DH can't see spending double points for the weekend. So we start at the GF or Polynesian and then move to DVC. Best of both worlds!

I hope everyone has a great time! Be sure to bring back plenty of pictures. I am so jealous. We still have 278 days until our stay at the Grand.

I had always stayed at the CR. When my twins were little we brought them to WDW for their 3rd bday and have been back every year since. We always stayed offsite at Windsor Hills because we liked the space.

We are surprising them with a 6th trip in December. We are going to tell them on the way to the airport and we are staying at the GF! I booked a lagoon view.

I have a few questions.

1. Was the lagoon view a good choice or should I have picked garden.

2. Doe anyone have pictures of the rooms

3. Building wise do you think Boca ort Big Pine or something else?

Thanks!

 

[k&a&c'smom]

CRResortFan - thanks for the link!

thaggie - It all depends on what you are looking for in a room. The lagoon views are very pretty, so if that is your wish, it was a good choice. I like the lagoon views in Big Pine Key the best, as I love to look at the Poly, Wedding Chapel and themed pool. Others love the panoramic view they get in Boca Chica, looking towards the CR, and the feel of being right on the water. Both are good locations.

All of my room photos have the old decor, so hopefully someone else can post photos! If not, I think my DD may have some of the new rooms, I'll see if I can find them.

Happy travels to everyone leaving soon! Have a Grand time!

Just recieved my final invoice in the post just to make it really seem close!
Balance Remaining: $0.00

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any tips on requesting a King Bed room?? We're booked GV and to be honest not massively concerned by the view.

Thanks
