KCMike, oh, you made me hungry. Narcoossee's for dinner would really hit the spot.

I hope the family is feeling much better, now.

Happy Wednesday Everyone

Anyone have a picture of the private dining menu?? I checked the menu on allears and it was from 2009. Trying to figure out breakfast the morning of the wedding since club level isn't available. The lady steaming my dress and his suit is coming at 7:30am and said she would be there for about 45 minutes-an hour. After that, it's too close to run out... unless I just go to Gasparillas Not what I was visioning

Much appreciated if you have it!

Hello, everyone!

My fiance and I are currently planning our honeymoon for next May. We're doing a split stay, with one week at the Boardwalk and the second week at the Grand Floridian. Right now, we're booked in the main building with an MK view. However, we're debating whether we should switch to one of the deluxe king rooms instead. Our biggest concern is not having a balcony, followed closely by getting a view of the DVC construction. I thought I would take it to the experts, since we can't make up our minds. Should we stay where we are or switch?

Thanks!

Katie

I would for sure take the Deluxe King. There's 2 types (you can request-not guarunteed)... I would go for the Jacuzzi instead of the Turret--they have a nice castle view (and you have a jacuzzi garden tub). The turret that I toured was facing the Poly and where the construction will be. It had a lot of extra space--but I like the other better. Congrats!!

Congratulations to you, too! Your wedding is coming up so soon! I can't even imagine at this point.

So you really think the risk of getting a turret is worth it? Do the jacuzzi ones have extra space, or is it just the turret rooms? I'm worried because I really don't want to get stuck with a view of the construction, you know?

Good thinking wedding twin! Carolyn Allen's is coming by my room at 8am so I'm in the same boat pretty much!

If no one comes up with it, I would call the GF and ask for them to send you a copy. When you tell them it's for the morning of your wedding and you are staying at the GF I am sure they will be more than happy to help!

LuvLuvLuv,

When is your wedding? I am taking my family in little over a week, and could get it for you then and post it. Getting there the 21st.

FYI, work nearby in Mason, OH!

Yeah--It's definately worth the risk for the guaruntee of the King Bed. There's extra room in both. I would do it for sure. I wanted it for our stay, but it wasn't available

Yeah--I'm trying to come up with a solution. I know I'll need something for sure--I'm thinking room service is the answer.

Great idea!! Thanks!!

The wedding isn't until November... so if you think about it--that would be great! Thanks for the offer!!

The Jacuzzi Deluxe King rooms are NOT bigger than the normal rooms. They just seem bigger because one King Bed takes up less space than two queens.

The turret rooms are HUGE, but no balcony.

In any case, congrats and enjoy!

 

[k&a&c'smom]

Wow! The thread is moving quickly the last few days!

bottles - Welcome! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

The MK view rooms in the main building are located in the same area as the rectangular king deluxe rooms. At this point, I think I'd take either of those rooms over the octagonal (turret) king deluxe rooms, due to the construction. Even though the turret rooms are my favorite, the possible noise would make me leery.

For me, there's no other resort like the GF, so I'd definitely choose to do a split, but I'm biased. ETA: You are more likely to get the rectangular room than the turret, as there are 9 rectangular/6 turret. Simply inform IPO that you much prefer the 2nd floor king deluxe, they will make every effort to please you.

Here are the two deluxe king layouts, if anyone is interested:

LuvLuvLuv - I have the menus from August 2010, I'm pretty sure they are the same today:

 

[k&a&c'smom]

LuvLuvLuv - oops! I see you didn't want the Gasparilla's menu, but the PD menu! Sorry! I do have the PD menu, but can't remember if I have it uploaded to photobucket - I'll check, and if I don't, try to get it sometime today.

Are you looking for the breakfast menu? Or lunch? I can get all of it, but it will be quicker if I know what you most want now.
