    GFV First Visit Success

    I did notice some noise in the room. I could hear some people above us in the first building which was where we had the resort room. The second building I did not hear anything. I am a light sleeper, so I am not sure if it was just me or if they were actually loud above us. It wasn't...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    The Grand Floridian Cafe We have never dined here before, and to be honest, I never really had any desire to. Since we were staying at the GF, I decided to make a reservation for our check out date. Why had I not been there before?!?! It was so good. I will be making it a priority to dine...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Le Cellier After a long day at Epcot (rope drop at 8:30), we had a reservation for 7. I was exhausted, so I arrived around 6:15 and sat outside the restaurant (I didn't check in) while my husband and his coworker enjoyed drinks at the Rose & Crown bar. They walked over a little after 6:30 and...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    I am also a lightweight! Big time! I had already had two glasses of wine at Ohana -- one before dinner and one with dinner. That is usually my max for drinking. I ordered the B&B which was off of the nonalcoholic menu. It was described as Freshbrewed Twinings Tea with Lemon, Blueberry and...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I read so many helpful posts prior to our trip to Epcot, I thought it may be helpful for me to share our experience. We planned a last minute trip for a long weekend, Feb. 3-6. We only visited the park one day (Sunday). We chose to visit Epcot for the one day. I woke up bright and early to...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    La Cantina de San Angel (QS) This has always been one of my favorite QS spots at Epcot. I love the empanadas. The line was long again, but it seemed to go quickly until the very end. Once you order, it takes quite a while for your food to be ready. It wouldn't be a big deal but it is a...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (QS) When we originally planned on visiting for our short trip, we did not have plans to go to a park. One of my husbands coworkers flew in a day early and has a annual pass, so he asked to meet us at Epcot. Then another coworker who had never been to Disney...

    GFV First Visit Success

    We were in the resort studio with a theme park view the first two nights. The last night, we moved to a deluxe studio with a lake view. I preferred the resort studio better -- mostly because I liked the decor in it better. I also preferred the bathroom set up there. The view was amazing, but...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    I wouldn't necessarily rule it out on your next trip. My expectations may have been too high. Like I said, the food wasn't bad, but we had been so many times in the past, I just felt things had changed. They have definitely added more tables which I think has really changed the experience. I...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Thank you! When you start writing reviews, you never know if anyone is actually reading and enjoying them or if you are just talking to yourself:) (Probably why I have never written one before.) Although I do that a lot! I teach high school, so I feel like I talk to myself all day long. Haha!

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Citrico's We had a reservation for 7 on a Saturday night. We showed up about 6:15 because we wanted to get drinks in the bar first. They asked if we wanted to be seated early but we told them we were early to get drinks and they didn't have a problem with that. They then called us at the...

    Disney Shopping News

    About how often does Disney release new Dooney & Bourke Magicbands? I want one for my trip this summer, but I am not overly excited about the band one just released. I am trying to decide if I should wait for one I like better. I also wasn't crazy about the horses one that I saw recently on...

    GFV First Visit Success

    I returned a week ago from a short trip with minimal planning time. I normally plan my trips 11 months in advance as many of us DVC members do -- but this one came about very quickly! My husband found out he was heading to Orlando for business. We decided to stretch it over the weekend so that...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Boma Brunch I made a reservation for 11. When I first booked the reservation, I thought we were going to have to be switching rooms so I thought what better time to go over to AKL than at the time we would need to be out of our room. We didn't end up having to change rooms, but it was still a...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Enchanted Rose After leaving Poly about 5:30ish we took the walkway back over to the GF. We decided to go up to the Enchanted Rose (a lounge/bar on the second floor near Citrico's). There was staff seating people when you walk up. They walked us over to the room next door which also had wait...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Ohana's I made a reservation for 3:50 on Friday, Feb 3. We arrived to the Grand Floridian around 1 PM and within about 15 minutes of our arrival, our room was ready! After settling, we found the walkway from the GF to Poly. It isn't much of a walkway right now with the construction, but it...

    "Minnie" Food Review of Weekend Trip

    Let me start by saying, I do a lot of reading and not a lot of posting. I have never posted a review so it could be a little rough. I wanted to give back to all of the wonderful posts that I read and hopefully add a little bit of something someone can use in their planning. A little...

    I'm super excited to be staying the VGF for the first time this weekend! We are DVC members, but decided on a last minute trip and I was able to piece together three nights at the GF. Our first two nights are in a Resort Studio Theme Park View and the last night is in a Studio Lake View. Can...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    I have been to DW many times, but this is my first time since G+. We are visiting Epcot one day only (Sunday, Feb. 5). I want to be sure to ride Remy and GotG. I also love Soarin and Frozen but the two new rides are my must. We are staying on site and will drive to the park. I have made my...

    Which contract to sell?

    All of our contracts were purchased before 2016. I know that we cannot use those points for the Concierge Collection, but is that the only thing we are not able to use them for? Can they change the rules on our contracts?
