Rats !Hey girl! We are home! Got in around 11pm. last night. Sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye. Enjoy the rest of your stay!!!!!! It was great getting to spend some time with you! Hope to see you again soon!! ❤
This is my favorite in the GF Tearoom
If you are excited then yes its the right choice!So I did something crazy! I had a Royal Caribbean Cruise planned for March and the pay off due date was coming up. As I have been planning this cruise I just wasn't happy. I don't think RC cruising is my jam. The closer the pay off date came, the sicker to my stomach I got. In the mean time my hubby has been having health issues and we got a PIN in the mail! We've never gotten one before. So, I guess I'm loosing my cruise deposit. Cause, I booked Disney at 181 days out! I have always booked a year out. Now I feel like I'm scrambling. Dining reservations are already tomorrow and I have to decide on which parks on which days and where we want to eat, today! But I'm SO excited and I think I made the right choice. Woot!
Hi, my daughter and I will be at WDW in April for the Star Wars Run. We are currently staying at All Star Movies but I was thinking about changing our last 3 nights to a mod or deluxe to make our trip more relaxing. We stayed at the GF in an outer building garden view room for a few nights in July 2018 when my daughter was a CM and she would like to stay there again.
I can get a discount for the same type room which I think is reasonable. I can also get a discount on a SL room but I am not sure if I can justify the additional cost ($540 more). The biggest cost is the Saturday night after Easter which still has the higher rates. The switch only makes sense if we move on Saturday so there is no way to avoid the more expense night if we stay CL.
I have only stayed CL one time when I was upgraded on a trip with my mom at the Yacht Club. We do not have dinning plans except for one night so we would be able to enjoy the offerings in the lounge each day. This is not a park heavy trip so we would be spending more time around the resort especially after the half-marathon.
If you were helping a friend choose between non-CL or SL CL what would you recommend? Is SL for 3 nights worth an extra $500 or would a non-CL room at the GF suffice? Thanks for any comments or recommendations.

So I need help how do I get to each park from the GF. And is there issues with time because I’m going to be there over NYE so I want to get to each of the parks early. (No mears, Uber, just what is free)

Thanks friend!
Any pic requests ? I have Thursday by myself until dd arrives.
No trip planned BUT on this day, December 6 2010 we were pixie dusted with the Grand Suite.
Thanks for all the pics. They really should add some DiSaranno to the cordials
A big hello fellow GF fans..Its's really been quite a while....
since my last visit here...We had a terrific stay at GF SL...and also tried something new YC CL which we also really enjoyed....
So nice seeing all of the GF pictures....no matter what direction they are posted in...lol..I'm lookin at you trish......I always say pictures are the next best thing to being there....
Here are a few observations from our most recent GF stay...usually request courtyard view when in SL..but didn't make any requests and got a lovely marina view room...which I would gladly stay in again....I never realized how picturesque this view is..and how nice it was to see the lagoon and also the monorails gliding by in the distance....
There were no Mickey waffles.. there were warm sticky buns and egg fritattas...also there were individual bottles of water available...
I know that this is a question often asked about the CL differences...but honestly I enjoy both RPC and SL for different reasons..and in different seasons....they recently also added some outside seating on the marina side..a table and chairs and from my understanding they will be adding a few more......good decision on that...honestly I am not a fan of the new changes that have taken place..altho the combined new Summer Lace /Commander Porters..now renamed Curiousier Clothiers.. space is pretty nice...absolutely hate that space that the GF Society Orchestra now occupies...and it definitely sounds very different on the upper floors........JMO..ymmv....
Our next few stays will be on the Epcot side...but we are looking forward to being back at the GF this summer...
Well not exactly to yourself...lol..It was so great to see you!
I remember that trip!! What pixie dust..so glad that DD and I were there to get to visit you and Mom while you were there! Sure hope that you can get back to the GF soon...
~I hope that I will get to pop back in soon..but if not..wishing you all magical holidays and the very best in the new year ahead...
That was a nice surprise! That Maria lol she kept us all amused too. (Cm)A big hello fellow GF fans..Its's really been quite a while....
