The *New* Grand Floridian Resort and Spa FAQ thread (NOV 2008)

[MelissaFromRI]

Just gonna put my 2 cents in about May weather and crowds
I went last mid May and the weather was awesome!!! Warm but not humid at all , in fact there always seemed to be a nice breeze
The crowds were great too , never waited for anything except for of course Soarin , but we didn't really wait for that we got fast passes

I highly reccomend May

Good Afternoon Everyone!

tinker*shell Thank you! I am liking this idea more and more...:and I'd really like to see that picture of the luggage cart!!

Channing Thanks again and again...for all of the info... I'd like to see a picture of Miguel loading up the limo too... (BTW who had the most luggage...inquiring minds want to know!!)

I would like to know about the menu at Citricos...

Blue DEb...I have the current Citricos menu on my website. It's as up to date as it gets. And if you really have any questions about anything....I know a lot of GF CMs and others that work there and can just email or call and get answers. Each time I stay there I meet more terrific contacts. Hmmm.....I'd have to say it was probably VERY close with the luggage....even Kelly brought more than she thought she would.....Miguel looked secretly panicked when he saw our load.

He said that he wouldn't feel comfortable walking through the lobby in shorts!? We walk through the lobby in our bathing suit coverups!!

LOL...I have known people who walked thru and SHOPPED in their GF robes.

Does anyone know how deep the lagoon is around narcootsies?
I keep having this weird daydream of falling in.
Those little resort boats dont look to sturdy.

There 's only one real sure way to find out the depth.

I thought I was paranoid but Pete sounded less than thrilled with my GF review suggestion
Hopefully someday they will do a piece on our beloved GF. I know Kevin & John love Citricos and Narcoosseess

I must say it was a thrill to hear them read my e-mail

Melissa that is neat!!! Which date podcast?? I am a little behind on them.....I think it was an awesome suggestion!!!

Cant wait for September!!!

Me neither!!!



Happy day,

Channing
GF Gal going back again already!!

 

[BlueSkies]

Who else wants to get on the bus!!

I do...I do!!! Can I wear a seat belt....

 

[BlueSkies]

Channing I'm saying thank you once again... How did I miss the menus on your web site..I cant tell you how many times I go and look at it...Love it...

I guess I'm going to have to go take another look....

Did you gals have to give Miguel a gift certificate to the GF spa to help his back after all of that luggage...

Even the packing expert packed extra!!! Kelly I am surprised...

I really want to try some restaurants that we havent tried in a while...but I like to review the menus before hand...

They read my e-ail on the February 26th e-mail / voicemail podcast
Poor Walter was getting all fumbled up reading it...lol

BCV I would like to know about the menu at Citricos...Have that on my ADR list for next trip and we havent eaten there in a long time...thanks and enjoy your trip...

I'll be glad to check the menu for you. The menu does change there fairly often as it does at the other signature restaurants so it might have a number of different items when you go. Of course, there are certain things that stay on all the time. I noticed on allears that the cheese plate appears to be the same as we enjoyed for dessert in October....so good. It's such a great restaurant isn't it?

Thanks for the good wishes. Can't wait.

I'm going to try and sneak a short trip in next May, the kids get a week off school and we'll still have our AP's so we might as well take advantage of them. We usually come over in the summer which as we all know is hot & humid When we were over towards the end of September last year it was still hot but the humidity had gone, is May like that?




Yes please

We've only had one September trip and it was too hot for me. I'm glad to hear that the humidity was low for yours. We're going back this September and I hope the same is true! I think you'll love May. Not as hot as summer and usually not too humid.

TinkTatoo - May should be much less humid than September. Late September tends to be rainy AND is prime hurricane season. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised with the weather in May. Hope you get to take that trip!

No hurricanes, please!

Oh no do they really change often?
Why do they do that?
i finally tried Citricos on our last trip and loved it... i would hate to go again and find the menu different.

Do they change Narcoopsees too? I had the most wonderful romantic dinner there last time. ( sorry Lives4Disney ) and have been dying to go back since.
Can you get menu for that place too?

Good thing I was sitting down or I would have fallen over!!!

I was so happy to hear your name. I thought Hey I have seen her on the GF thread. I dont think the boys like GF but I suggested Corey and Julie do a review for their babymoon.

Now you get to pick a shirt or lanyard and pin. Just a tip you can buy the shirt but you can only get the lanyard by having your email or voicemail read on the podcast. Happy picking!!

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Thanks for all the weather info!!! I am happy to know I dont need 2 wardrobes like in November. I think a light jacket or sweater will do the trick!! How am I gonna make it two more months.

I Narcoosees. I celebrated my 40th birthday there last year. I think it is the best restaurant on property. I have also herd Kevin the food reviewer say this too!!! No doubt they gave me a picture perfect birthday. With fireworks to boot during dessert. I will never forget that birthday. 14 of my family members in the happiest place on earth and the absolute most perfect meal from service right down to coffee and dessert. Needless to say we are eating there twice in May.

I might have some pics if anyone is interested.

 

[BlueSkies]

IWISHFORDISNEY The best way to make the time fly is by chatting with all of your fellow GF fans!!!
