Hi All There is a lot to write so I will keep updating! I stayed at The Grand Floridian 08.15.08 for 5 nights and loved it! The resort is great..the staff is wonderful and the rooms, grounds, pools and restaurants are top notch. I stayed in the sugar loaf building 1st floor which was very convenient to everything. The day of arrival we ate at the Grand Floridian Cafe for lunch..the food was very good! I would recommend it.
Now...the parks were crowded! Tons and Tons of foreign travelers...probably 75% of the parks visitors did not speak english. The wait times varied but the major rides were all over 45 minutes..even with Tropical Storm Fay. The only day the parks weren't crowded was Tuesday 08.19 because everyone was told the storm was going to hit..we ventured to the AK and was able to ride the Yeti many times in a row.
The Deluxe Meal plan was way to much food for us!
**Stay away from Chef Mickey's until the construction is over..it is very loud and the smell of burned rubber from the construction can be smelled while eating
**CRT for dinner was a HUGE let down
**LOVED LOVED Yak and Yeti the desserts are to die for!
**Sci-Fi was fun we loved the theme and it kept the kids busy..great service..food was OK.
I will write more later..any questions??
