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

    Ou Our beds (in Big Pine Key) were very comfortable and quite soft. The room was not redone, however, as far as I could tell. It was pretty dated and felt like an old-school holiday inn or similar. It’s not a luxury hotel inside the rooms by any stretch.

    How much can you get done- MK AM EMH

    When we were there last week over Christmas Space Mountain remained a 5-15 minute wait until nearly an hour after park opening, all 3 days. I would do PP first and then go to Space. No all likelihood it will still be a walkon at 30 mins into EMH and beyond.

    Cast Member Gifts

    Agree. I can’t imagine a cm or any other total stranger would want anything other than good cheer. Sorry, it’s your honeymoon and special to you but it doesn’t affect their day at all. I suggest just being kind and offering accolades when they’re warranted.

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    I sent my main dish (scallops) back at cg on Friday. They were so salty I couldn’t taste anything else. The waitress was apologetic and offered me something else but I just wasn’t hungry at that point. She ended up comping my husband his second glass of wine (we had dxdp). I was underwhelmed by...

    Epcot RD Strategy question

    We were in Epcot on 12/23, it was very crowded and the wait for joy & sadness was well under 20 mins @11am. Don’t think it’s a must to rd. The Baymax line looked even shorter but my kids don’t know that character so we didn’t wait.

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    CRT. Being inside the castle was fun, and it’s a lovely use of space. The food was “fine” - kids had tiny portions (one Mickey waffle?) and adult food was tasty enough but nothing amazing, though my husband was happy to have an actual rare steak after a week of ordering rare and mostly receiving...

    12/25/18+ here now!

    We got home last night after our 8 day trip. I planned like crazy, had FP booked, adrs booked, etc. We were able to do what we planned but nothing else except when we arrived at rope drop or emh. Getting additional fast passes or changing existing ones almost never worked, and the app didn’t...

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

    Just leaving GF after an 8-night stay. We were in Big Pine Key room 9103, it was fine but quite dated and a lot smaller than our room at Poly our last time in a Deluxe. The bathroom was particularly dated, but everything was clean and functional. Not much storage for a family of 5. The...

    CRT lacklustre

    No, because there appeared to be no one there other than wait staff as we were leaving (downstairs was totally deserted), I’m sick as are 2 of my kids and we just wanted to move on. I posted to share my experience with others. I’ll call Disney to discuss this and several other issues with them...

    CRT lacklustre

    We had breakfast at CRT today and I was seriously underwhelmed. It was fun to be inside the castle but not “that” exciting. Our waitress was very nice but forgot to give the kids their wands/swords before the “magical ceremony”, and it was too loud to hear much of the announcements (or they were...

    Jedi in Training

    He asked a CM who said they didn’t need to be there. Perhaps they’ve changed the rules now that it’s less popular and has a larger capacity?

    Same. We left an @2 after trying to modify some things all day with no luck.

    12/25/18+ here now!

    Exactly. It was our first time riding it. The preshow freaked out my kids, especially my 6yo, who was so worried about turning into a tall blue alien that she cried and almost didn’t ride. She said she didn’t enjoy it but the rest of us thought it was cool. Definitely not worth a long line, but...

    Ridiculous Epcot security

    Op here - had no idea this was going to start such a thread!! Once I finally got to the actual bag check portion of the line I asked the guard as he rummaged through my stuff and he said he “hopes they’ll figure it out soon too, it’s stupid that they make some people go through this twice. I...

    Jedi in Training

    We were in HS on christmas. My husband walked over to sign the kids up for Jedi training after the park opened. We had a later H&V reservation but still got in with the ppo group though not much before 9. He had no trouble signing up 5 kids (without them present) while the rest of us went to tsl...

    Monorail currently unavailable

    we are at GF and on our way to the bus stop to go to AK. As we walked past the elevators there was a sign saying the monorail is currently unavailable. They are bussing everyone to MK, Epcot and the monorail resorts. Not a good week for this!

    Ridiculous Epcot security

    We are staying at GF and go through security there. Now in a ridiculous, not moving line at Epcot because we have to go through it again. Why can’t they have a way for people who already went through it bypass security at Epcot like they do for MK? It’s insane.

    12/25/18+ here now!

    No, 12/26 in MK. We were in HS on Christmas and didn’t really try for anything extra there (when i did it said everything was already gone!). I and a couple of kids are also sick so we haven’t been spending the whole day in the parks.

    12/25/18+ here now!

    We didn’t have such FP availability. Had FP planned for mid-morning to early afternoon and when I tried to get more even for one person there was barely anything available, even if I tried modifying a FP early in the day. None of the mountains, 7dmt, etc were available. Occasionally saw space or...
