Does anyone know if the GF is still doing the Princess Promenade in the afternoons?

I can confirm that they had this yesterday (Sat) at 3:45.

I booked a standard main building club level room. Does anyone know if these rooms have the day bed.

Some but not all.

Yikes we need that third bed.

Has any GFer taken note of monorail morning start times lately?

We have an 8am ADR in the MK and a DM who rides an ECV. Taking all those capital letters into account, I am hoping for an early start for the monorail as a Minnie van is probably out of the question.

So Excited!!

My big 45th birthday is next week and we are very much looking forward to our first (and very likely only) ever stay in the main building!

I’m so excited I cannot hardly stand it! We have a deluxe king room booked.

I’m looking forward to luxurious repose!

I booked a standard main building club level room. Does anyone know if these rooms have the day bed.

We are here now. Our room is on the 5th floor and there is no daybed—-2 queens. FWIW, the bathroom set up is not ideal either in this room. There is a beautiful soaker tub in our room, but everything is in one room, where any other room we have had has had the toilet/tub separated. The renders the mirror sink area useless when the shower is being used because there is no exhaust fan. Also, the tub makes for an “odd” shower experience...just hard to get into because it is so big.
Edited to add: I did request twice to have a fourth floor room. Also made the request to change when we checked in, but nothing available. Not sure if it would have resulted in a 3rd bed option.

Thanks, I will be putting in a request for 3rd or 4th floor.

Yes . The rooms 4x13-18 look just like a standard room in the outer buildings and have view of courtyard . 4x23-28 also do but also have a wet bar, these face vgf/poly.

I forgot about 5th floor, only 1 or 2 up there, the rest are suites.

Can you post pix? I've never seen those rooms/bath.

I can't answer your question, but bumping your post in case others are able to help .

RPC is amazing and is a great way to spend your birthday! Hope you have a great trip .

We check in Wednesday for a Theme Park CL room. Since we've never stayed in the main building, I was wondering what floor we might be on? I'm not even sure how many floors of rooms there are in the main bldg. I know the RPC lounge is on the 4th floor from what I've read here.

Also, has anyone ever been at the GF for Valentine's Day? Just wondering if they do anything extra or special for the holiday. (No, I'm not expecting it and won't be disappointed, just didn't want to miss it if it is happening...lol)

TIA for any answers. This is a great info thread

I had the most amazing experience staying at Grand Floridian over the weekend. We were upgraded to the Victorian Suite! It was my first time staying in club level, and I'm a bit spoiled now since this was the nicest room I've ever been in! We got to the hotel around 3pm and they told us our room wasn't ready yet, which was odd since they usually are around check-in. They didn't even mention that we were upgraded, I noticed when looking in the app that the room category changed, they just said we had a really nice room. I had never heard of this suite before and had to Google it lol. I wonder how much it actually costs a night, the only information I could find is that its a couple grand. Best Pixie Dust ever!

Wow!

That is absolutely fantastic!

The TPV rooms are 4301-09 and 4401-09 . They are above GGG and you can hear the HEA soundtrack from your balcony.

FYI take the elevator by 4411 to get to GGG/marina. Otherwise use the one by the lounge to get to the lobby.

Enjoy!

We will be coming in August 2020 to celebrate our daughters preschool graduation and 5th birthday. Wanted to know more about afternoon tea options at GF. How long are they? What is the total cost? Are they worth doing? What is the differences between tea with princesses and afternoon tea? I see the cost is quadruaple for tea with princesses vs afternoon tea. What is served at each? We will be doing BBB for her and hopefully eating at CRT and BOG. We will be coming for 5 or 6 days. This will be our daughter's 2nd trip.We will be coming in August 2020 to celebrate our daughters preschool graduation and 5th birthday. Wanted to know more about afternoon tea options at GF.
