For anyone who's stayed in the villas..do you know if they have a pull out mirror in the bathroom? I'm trying to decide if I need to take my hand held mirror for checking the back of my head (when doing my hair). TIA.
Thanks for the excuse to watch one of my videos from our visit in January
We were in a 2 bedroom and there is a wall mounted make up mirror in both the bathroom of the master bedroom and the bathroom of the 2nd bedroom too.
Haha I'm glad I gave you an excuse. We will be staying in a studio. Hopefully they also have them in there. The less I have to carry the better. More room in my luggage for souvenirs.
I always stay in a one bedroom but I have photos of a studio and the bathroom has a pull out mirror.

I like foo-foo drinks, mudslide, pina colada's etc...What type of alcohol is served in the CL Lounges? I do not drink wine or beer. I saw pictures of amaretto and Kahlua in a CL picture? Has anyone ever brought with them stuff to make themselves a drink ie Sour mix? Do they serve Whiskey or Vodka?
I am booked for SL (roll in shower) and wonder if a roll in shower room maybe available in the main bldg when we check in, whom do I ask? At on line check in? I am contemplating upgrading, but just not sure if the extra money will be available.
Hi!
My first time staying in the Grand Floridian- just wondering a few things... maybe you all can help me.
We booked a Lagoon view room for the first week of November. I requested the Sago Cay building with the Marina view. I think the marina looks so nice with that marina with the boats. I would love sitting on my balcony looking out at the marina while my kids are napping.
Thank you so much!
- Is the marina as nice as it looks in the pics?
- Is Sago Cay very far from everything [buses, monorail, boat launch, pools]? What are the odds of getting your building request?
- What is the best floor in Sago Cay? [I don't want the bottom/first floor or the top floor b/c the balconies are different on the top floor]
- What is the weather usually like Nov. 1st to Nov. 9th? Is it humid/ what do you normally wear/ pack? Can the kids go swimming comfortably/ go on water rides [splash mtn, etc]?
- Is there anywhere in the bathroom to put an over the door shoe organizer in order to keep bathroom items off of the counters?
These Disboards about the GF have been such a lifesaver planning our first ever trip to Disney. I am used to planning activities/ staying organized, as I am a Special Ed. teacher... but planning a Disney World Trip is A LOT of work!!!! [but it sure is fun ] My family is counting down the days on our Countdown to Disney Chart... can't wait!!!!!

I have browsed through, but haven't seen the answer, so sorry for a repeat question. What is the earliest that the GF will be all decorated for Christmas?

We are staying at GF in 3 weeks! We have a Deluxe Garden View room, and I'm curious where these are on property. How far is the beach pool, monorail, parking lot?
The wine & champagne is available from 5pm to 7pm and the sweeter after dinner liquors(Grand Marnier, DiSaronno, Bailey's(or something similar), Cognac) are out from 8 to 10. Don't think they have any of the harder stuff or the mixes in the CL lounges... Hope this helpsOnly 6 more days until we check in

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! You all are so nice and helpful...
So... I just booked O'hana (finally got a reservation- have been trying forever) and this is my family's first time to Disney World [my husband went one other time]. We have obviously never been to O'hana's and everyone says it is a must.
Here's my question- my son is 5 and my daughter is 3... the only reservation I could get is 9:40 pm... we would be going on a day that we would be going to MK when it has the Mickey Christmas Party [we are NOT going to the Mickey's Christmas party]... so we can leave the park and have plenty of time to rest/ nap... but I still think 9:40 is so late.
Thoughts?
- What are the odds we can get in earlier for our reservation? Or does O'hana usually run late on seating families?
- Or do you suggest I cancel the reservation and just keep looking for a better time?

You're right Maxie! I knew it was too late... just needed to hear it from someone else. Thanks for knocking some sense into me. I'm just learning all the Disney's ins and outs.That is way too late for me. I can't imagine your little ones enjoying a dinner that late, and then not being crabby the next day because they are over tired. O'hana's is OK but not a must do for us. I would keep trying for an earlier time if you really want to eat there, people do cancel.

Hopefully someone will cancel... that's how I got BOG.
It's getting close... I cannot control my excitement to stay at the GF. We leave on Halloween!
