Ok everybody, I got some AMAZING pixie dust...
My husband and I booked AKL for our 10 year wedding anniversary in October. We honeymooned in Disney and wanted to return to our happy place for a resort-only stay with one day in the parks, and one day at MNSSHP!
However, AKL closed their pool, so we were disappointed. I wrote a letter to Disney, highlighting that we were going to be celebrating and the pool was very important to our resort-only vacation...
They originally offered Contemporary (garden wing) or Boardwalk (standard view), but after doing some research, they didn't seem relaxing. I called my rep and asked if I should switch to a moderate, because we do love POR and POFQ...
WELL.
My customer service rep said "hang on a minute, now that i know what is most important to you, I think I can make this happen..."
AND SHE BOOKED US AT THE GRAND FLORIDIAN! For the same price we were paying at AKL! Talk about pixie dust, you guys. I'm so so excited.
I've always wanted to stay here, I didn't even mention it in any email/phone call because the price is not even close to comparable (was actually hoping for Wilderness Lodge, comparable price and relaxed vibe as AKL), but as soon as she said "would you like to stay at the Grand Floridian, outer building, garden view?" I almost cried.
I can't wait, and I love this thread.
5 months to go until a beautiful anniversary. I'm gonna get me a cabana! lol

ahcupcake! Nice to hear from you!
and most of all Happy Anniversary
!!
! We’re going to a early viewing of Solo tonight or I would pack now...I’m so excited!!!
.
Now it's out! Guess I'll spend the holiday weekend finishing up since the weather is going to be miserable down here in the south!
. I was good with the pre-packing list, thats been done awhile now.
!!!! Everyone's last day of work except for DD, she works at the mall. So luggage will be out and if I know my DH he'll be packed after dinner whether I am ready or not. To top it off, he needs an audience and has a BILLION questions....let the stress begin
!! Then I have DS that will pack the night before we leave, that will then cause me to loss sleep because in my head there has to be something he forgot
. Truth be told...I LOVE it all and wouldn't change a thing, my kids are older now (DS23 - DD21) and still love coming with DH and I, which we wouldn't have any other way. When we go without them it wonderful but weird.
