My email keeps being bounced back as undeliverable. Anyone have another email address for GF concierge?
 
We just returned from the RPC and water was available in large glass bottles, soda was available on request. I asked about water to take to the parks and they told me they only had glass bottles. I thought this was strange but didn't make issue of it. We had such a wonderful room and so much rain, we really just hung around the resort this time.

I just wanted to tell you that YES! there are men who love the GF! my dh is one of them!!! we stayed there 4 times in a row, and I had a hard time talking him into trying a different resort!
He loves the GF!!!! It'll always be his favorite!!! (mine too! :))

I spoke with someone in the concierge planning department this morning... Sugar Loaf concierge lounge service stops at 7pm. They don't do snacks and desserts in the evening like RPC or some of the other resorts' concierge services. So there is more than just one serving alcohol and one not. You get reduced service, too. I was a little unhappy to hear that, as my husband and I were counting on the concierge lounge in case the kids or we got munchies in the late evening.

The person I spoke with also said that sodas are available on request; they pour them in a cup for you. And glass bottles of water are available.

So... now we are thinking of going with another Deluxe resort concierge service next month... either Poly or Contemporary.

I had e-mailed a GF Concierge CM a couple days ago, and his reply also said that service at SLC stopped at 7PM. Cordials and desserts, as well as wine, are only provided in RPC.

The price difference between sugar loaf and RPC certainly makes more sense now!!! I figured you were just paying to be in the main building (which you still are!!! and imho is worth it!!! :))

I am so glad this was posted! I will now either change back to a standard room or we will stay at a different resort. Thanks again!
 
One time when I was at GF, the bell man mentioned that Demi Moore was in the lobby earlier in the day. I've read about Princess Diana, Oprah, and John Travolta. Of course I saw the "Full House" episode and heard Kathie Lee Gifford talk about GF all the time. I was wondering if any one had any more stories?
 
A great page deserves a great BUMP...:):bounce:

Hi... just wanted to tell you that we decided to stick with GF instead of switching to BWI concierge. Also, we decided to go with LV instead of SLC. Can you recommend any rooms for us?? We are hoping to get Bocca Chica because I've heard the views are great from there.
Any advice???

Also... I made our PS for Narcoosee's and 1900 Park Fare (pooh dinner). What do you think of Citrico's?? I've never eaten there before.

One last thing... Do you know the best way to get from GF to the Swan?? We have a PS at Palio's our first night there and I wasn't sure the best way to go.

Thanks!!

;)
 
Boca Chica really is a good choice. :) Just make sure you request a Magic Kingdom View, and you'll be fine! (there are a few rooms that have a blocked view of the MK, due to the way the building is designed.

I've never eaten at Citricos, so I can't really tell you about it. Friends of my parents love it, though.

You could take a bus to EPCOT, and then a boat to the Swan; maybe Guest Services could tell you of a better way. You could even go to the TTC to find a bus that goes directly to S/D.
 
actually to get to s/d from gf I would use magic kingdom as your link. There are buses going directly to s/d, so take monorail to mk and then s/d bus! mky (as long as its not park closing or congested time).;)

I forgot about that! I was thinking the MK busses were at the TTC (which is where parking is). Thanks for correcting that! (I'm always so use to taking the monorail to the MK!)
 
Hi Cali! Has Judi (IMBE@aol.com) posted her pictures from her recent stay at the GF concierge?
 
Hey MJS! No, Judi has not yet put up her GF pictures. She has put up a ton of the AKL, though.

Here is the one and only GF picture she has up from her July trip:

Great thread CaliforniaDreaming! This has really been helpful to us. Thanks! :)
 
Hi Cali D... I just saw someone post on the Restaurant board that the GFC had been closed! :eek: Is that true? And if so, when will it be reopening?? I will be so sad if we can't eat lunch there in October. :(

Thanks! :p
 
OH... I totally forgot that I had another question for you. ;) I have never been inside any of the outer lodge buildings at the GF, only the main building. What are they like? Can anyone enter or do you use your key? Do they have a little lobby area? How many elevators does each building have? Do you have any pics?

Thanks! :smooth:
