I think they're more Space Mountain-facing than castle-facing, but I've been known to lean out and crane my neck for a glimpse of the castle
(To be clear I did that at the Poly, not sure if you can see the castle even from the end of the T of the villas)
I want to thank all the DIS posters on this thread. You have helped me to embrace the Grand Floridian with such excitement and have shared so much important aspects of this wonderful resort.
47 days to go and we are at the Grand Floridian
Nice upgrade!
You can send your room requests in through DSS (you otherwise can’t actually contact the GF directly, any # that says it’s GF will go to a call center).
When you book a CL room, you may or may not hear from DSS. Sometimes they call, sometimes they send a post card, sometimes they do both, sometimes you hear nothing!
But regardless, you can reach out to them at any time:

So Main Building Standard CL rooms.....most are on the third and fourth floors with maybe a couple on five. The pic below is the fourth floor, which is the same floor as the lounge. The third floor is roughly the same and is where the CM desks are located.
There are two “banks” of standard rooms - a cluster that faces the Courtyard Pool and another cluster across the atrium that faces the Villas/Beach Pool/Poly.
My room was the red dot below. LOVED this room, convenient to the lounge, convenient to the “secret elevator” that goes down close to Gaspy’s.
Pics below that may be helpful.
FWIW, my only room requests were “fourth floor, close to the lounge.”
Others will likely have additional advice/perspective as well.
Have fun!
Yes, both pools are up and running.
Right you are on all counts
Sorry if you already got your answer but we received notice the eggs will stay up in GF through April 9th.
You're welcome! Accumulating gift cards is a good idea, IMO. I buy them at Target with my Target cc and get 5% off. Also, if you accumulate a lot of smaller denominations, you can go to disneygiftcard.com and combine them onto one card. I think it's a max of 5 to one card, but it would cut down on the number of gift cards you need to keep track of. I just did this the other day, very easy.
Boca Chica is one of my favorite outer buildings (along with Big Pine Key). I love how both face the courtyard pool and both are close to the main building (although really none of the buildings are that far from the main areas as the GF isn't all that spread out). Hope you have a great trip.
The Minnie van drivers were so much better trained lol.
There was something about ceiling needing fixing over lobby. I looked in January and I didn't see any problem.
