Hello everyone! I just reserved a "Deluxe King Bed Palm Club" Room. Does this mean it's a Honeymoon room or is there another category that is just a larger king room? If so, are there any pictures of the deluxe rooms? Thanks!

. There are two types of these deluxe king rooms. Some are on teh 2nd floor of the main building over Gasparillas with a MK view and others are in the turrets with no balcony and you get whatever view you get, but they are LOVELY rooms.
Happy planning!! I can't wait til 2008 for my 20th anniversary.....I am booking one of these rooms and leaving my 3 kids at home!!!!

Channing:
I will be married 25 years next year maybe I can get my DH to agree to the GF RPC Deluxe room again if I am really nice to him on this trip.
He has already said we could have our vows renewed in Disney.
I am taking one trip at a time.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions on rooms. I knew I can count on my friends at the DIS to have the answers.

Not always good, lol, but FAST!
When we honeymooned, we were sooooo broke (had a beautiful wedding, though!) and didn't even have any honeymoon planned at all. My uncle gave us the key to his Vero Beach condo (gorgeous right on the beach) at our reception and we stayed there a week and then drove to some divey cheap hotel/motel near WDW and so I think for our 20th we need something terrific! My husband doesn't even know what I am thinking of doing, but I have converted him to a WDW and GF lover, so I don't think it will be a problem - except trying to go to WDW w/out the kids! THAT's the problem.
I'm still guessing flat screen TV, lower armoire/dresser to hold it, desk and reconfigured closets. Our Grand Californian Hotel room had a very nice square desk that also worked as a table with one little cute drawer in it. I miss having a table in the new rooms at the Polynesian. C'mon, make your guesses gals! What about color schemes...will there be multiple ones again?Lynn, it sounds like a perfect birthday celebration.
Tinkaroo, thanks for the info. Sounds exciting. I'm still waiting for someone to play my game of "what will the new rooms be like."
Channing and Lynn, sounds like your honeymoons were memorable anyway.
We just LOVED DL and hope to go back this winter. 
I imagine you remember larger queens at the CR as well? Anyway I did think of your family and if your had been placed in a 2Q room, I don't know where the sleeping bag could have gone. There might have been just enough space to put it between the bed and sliding glass door but with zero extra space...would have been very claustrophobic. It's different if everyone's camping. We just noticed in passing though so no details. We'll be there then too although we leave the 21st. It is alway special when you have one on one time with a child.
***MORE NEW INFO***
Here is the further information I just received:
All I know schedule wise, is that building five - Sago Cay - begins 5/06/07. After it is completed they move on to building seven - Conch Key. Each building will be done until all are completed by the end of December. The Main Building will have rooms worked on in July and August with the work being limited to one floor at a time. Room 4008 - Victoria Suite will be done in October.
Sorry I do not have more information as to buildings eight or nine (Sugar Loaf may not be done this year, as the word is there will be extensive work done there, nothing offical though).
If I get updated information, I will let you know.
It is nice to get some "official" information! Sounds like our beloved GF will be sparkling new sooner than expected!

I LOVE the Arts and Crafts style, but my own home is very much in that design, so it just doesn't thrill me for a "getaway" KWIM? I LOVE the look of the WL, but don't ever desire to stay there, either. When I asked the DL reservationist about the size of the rooms, she told me GCH was about 250 sq ft. That really surprised me because that's a big diff btwn the WDW resort's room sizes. I know we weren't in the room much, but it really does kind of stress me out to feel tight in the hotel room. Maybe next DL trip we will just take a peek at the lobby and dine there in the hotel. I really enjoyed the DLH and the price was great, too, compared to GCH. I am just SO GLAD we dumped that high priced AAA GCH concierge package. I would have been so sorry because we really were out all day. The weather was beautiful and the parks were too. I still miss the "old" CR, though. Gorgeous as the rooms look, I wish they didn't dump the cute Disney touches it used to have. But the GCH is quite different. If you do visit it be sure to look for the outdoor fireplace which is on the South side of the building. It is a very cozy spot. The ceiling over the indoor hearth is amazing and just sit in a chair and look up at all the amazing architectural detail. Just beautiful.
), but we may just go with Garden View if it doesn't become available. To me, the Lagoon View is not an option. If I'm paying extra for the view, the MK better be involved. Anyway, this thread, as usual, is just helping to get me fired up! That is why this spontaneous May trip is so exciting to me - plus it's free, lol!! What could be better??!!
(well, a stay in RPC, I guess, but the Swan is nice ) Can't wait to hear about your stay at BCV and the GF! Have a super time & nice visit with your son & family. I hope you can reserve what you want.
We are going over Thanksgiving and I have a GV booked. I would love a "new" room. I wonder what they will be like?? I agree....hope they have different decor themes. Keep that info coming, Tinkaroo. 
Subscribing to this thread since we are going to the GF in 3 weeks. YEAH
Have fun! If you are so inclined...I would love to see some photos posted when you get back!!
