Kelly I love the new mug! I think I have to have one! We do not have a trip planned presentlyso I'm wondering how to get one....would WDW Mail Order work on this? Or can you call the GF directly?
But I thought she said it was CLOSE, but not exactly rightIt really
is a shame that after all the conversations she said they had that it still wasn't right. I just don't understand how this lady still has a job over there with the amount of complaints I have seen here on this thread and the cake thread about her.![]()
Hopefully when BCV returns she can clarify what was wrong with the actual cake vs. her request.
Hi!I'm not sure who you are, either, I've been on the DIS since 2002 and I see you registered this month. So, nice to meet you, and welcome to the DIS!
I was just coming back on to say that I've been researching this topic, since I hate to pass on inaccurate info. I was told by a CL CM a few years ago that an issue I had was hard to address, because "it is an outside company". In many Orlando Sentinel articles in 2005 and 2006, they referenced a number of outsourced positions. Those included IT jobs and many custodial, bell, valet, and baggage service jobs.
Since I can't find any articles that state that resort housekeeping jobs were also outsourced, I stand corrected. But, as anyone can see, there were many, many positions outsourced in the time that I was told the housekeeping positions were "an outside company", so either I misunderstood, or the CM that I spoke with was in error.
I humbly apologize for the misinformation!

Cinderumbrella - I can't speak for BCV23, but here is my take on the cake situation. We've ordered a specialty cake, and got exactly what we ordered, thankfully. If I had not, but it was still close to what I asked for, I doubt that I would make any complaint about it. I don't usually complain much, even if things go wrong. I simply don't use that service again (or go back to that establishment). Maybe there are a lot of others like me out there - and management isn't getting the word that orders are being filled incorrectly?
I finally have racked enough posts to put a ticker in my signature.![]()

I would call the sandy cove and if they cant help you get the SKU off the mug from them and then have them connect you to merchandising.
Hello, Debora. You can certainly call the merchandise number 407-363-6200 or try the Grand. The mugs are very pretty.

Hello, it's me again! I pop back every now and then when I have a question.....![]()
I just read a quick review of the GF in another thread. It was a good review with many positive comments. However, one comment in particular caught my attention..."If you are travelling with young girls who are into the princesses, the themeing and character meals at the GF are great."![]()
My question is.....What if you don't have young girls who are into princesses? What if you have 3 young boys, ages 11, 7 & 7? Will GF be too girly, girly for them? Do any of you GF fans have boys that enjoy the GF as much as you do?![]()

I would love to hear how the boys like GF because I am going in May with my DH and my 2 boys who are 13 and 11 years old. They have seen pictures and I showed them a video on u-tube of the slide at the GF pool and they think it looks great and can't wait to go. I am sure the kids will love it because they will be on vacation and they will be going to the parks all the time. I don't think they will complain but I want to see from people who have brought their boys to the GF how they liked it. The only thing I want to do that I think they will NOT like is the Afternoon tea. I would love it but I think it would be too girly for my family of boys.

I have 2 sons ages 9 and 5. They love the GF. My older one loves the pool and cabanas. They love the monorail acccess and boat to the MK as well.
We are staying ath BWV in July for a week before we move to the GF and the boys were like why arent we staying at the whole time. My sons have bonded with the CMs there and they love Vonnie and Joe. For us the GF is like going home.

My ds (15) prefers other resorts over the GF and the Poly. He doesn't mind dining at Citricos or Narcoosees but his favorite resort is POR... because of the food court and the boat to DTD. He also likes the fishing hole and the fact that hte lobby is not full of visitors waiting for dining. We have been going to WDW since he was a baby and he really does not care for the princesses.
This year we are doing a split stay Gf and POR.
I managed to convince ds and dh by bribing them with a Segway tour at WL
( ds will be turning 16 so he is finally old enough) and doing photo shoot at GF.
