    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    Sitting here waiting for Magical DEPRESS but wanted to share a few things about our trip before we leave. Check-in last week was probably the easiest check-in we’ve ever had. I put a bldg request thru Touring Plans but upon check-in the greeter pretty much let us choose whichever bldg we wanted...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    Hello everyone! Quick question: So I wanted to try and do a little something extra for my husband as his mom passed away last week and we just got back from her services late last night. To say the last few weeks have been very difficult for us all would be an understatement and up until a...

    Anyway to avoid credit card hold of 100$?

    This is correct. I, on the other hand, have always had my room paid in full before checking in therefore whether I leave a debit or credit card on file, they will place the $100 hold and then again and again every time I charge more than $100 on my magic bands. Because of this new rule, I do...

    I've been so swamped that I literally just realized we are 3 weeks away from our trip!! And even though 2019 has not been a kind year for us so far, really hoping that things turn around with the start of this trip. Lord knows we need this vacation :faint:

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    We are now flying in the night before our trip, arriving in Orlando, at 9:30p, and decided to book ASM for the one night using a really great friends and family discount. The next morning, we plan to Uber over to the GF to start our trip but here's my dilemma. We are going to need a few things...

    New Credit Card Authorization Holds

    We have always charged to our bands then paid down our charges with gift cards but with the new hold policy, I have no plans to charge anything to our bands on our upcoming trip as I don't feel like dealing with a lot of the headaches many are having. Since my trip is already paid in full, I...

    Are they out of the blue magic bands for hotel stays?

    So agree.... I must have tried over a half dozen times last week to pick our colors including the blue for my youngest DD. I'd pick a color and then I'd get an error message. Finally by Thursday I was able to get everyone the color they wanted. The website is incredibly painful at times...ugh!

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    Does anyone have a favorite bldg. when staying in a garden view room? Our first stay we were in Boca Chica - nice view of the courtyard pool but we were really close to the elevators and it was very noisy. Our next couple of stays were in Sugarloaf - loved our room. The only request I ever...

    Please tell me differences in Clubs - Yacht & Beach

    Honestly, if you book a water view room and request an upper floor room, you shouldn’t hear anything once you close your balcony door. We’ve had that view at both YC & BC, stayed in an upper floor and it was quiet at night.

    Any restaurants in Disney Springs not accept Disney gift cards?

    I always used to do this but with the new $100 increment holds on cc’s I keep hearing about, it sounds like my card will get charged way before I will get a chance to go to front desk to pay with my GC.

    As the Ticker Turns...the neverending saga of the Resort Changers

    I started with CSR in the new Tower, jumped to BC and now at GF for our August trip...I’m exhausted :rotfl2:. Seriously, was convinced we were staying put at BC once I switched then our TA sent us an email that Disney needed to free up some rooms at the BC during our stay to accommodate a...

    Please tell me differences in Clubs - Yacht & Beach

    Both BC & YC are favorites and we have stayed at both in just about every room category. Biggest difference between the two, besides decor, is the size. While we love the BC, it is much larger, noisier and spread out over the YC. We found the YC to be much quieter overall. As for the clubs at...
