(2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

[trishadono]

Welcome home Saturday is the day!!! Working tonight and tomorrow night and then Friday is packing and pedicure day I bought some Disney shirts at Target (one was $2.99) for the girls and I forgot myself of course. I can't hardly wait!! I snagged a breakfast at Garden Grill on our Merry & Bright party day that I said I wouldn't book LOL. My first Candlelight Processional will be in 2016 when I go see my DS14 sing with the HS chorus. You plan the next trip, it is really the only proven cure to PDD Post-Disney-Depression. I will try to post on here from my phone. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We loved the dessert party! So much nicer to sit and listen to the music! Enjoy

 

[trishadono]

Hope that every one is having a wonderful Wednesday... GF gal who is chasing away the post trip blues by happily planning our next one!

Happy Planning!

Thank you I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful the IPO and the CL management are!! And I feel like sharing my experience will help prevent some negative RPC experiences in the future. I unfortunately am not the only one who had a less than stellar stay, however YOU and disneytam and all our Grand friends will have an excellent stay!

Pas- So excited for you and hope you have a really Grand trip. I'm trying to talk my sister and brother-in-law into doing a short Christmas trip next year since it has been years since I have seen the decorations. What good is an AP if your not going to use it, right? Looking forward to pictures and a report when you return!

 

[MommyGina]

Pas - Have a Grand time! Report back to us about your trip!

I felt a little naughty booking our second trip for 2016. To make that second trip even more of a rash thought, the impulse came when we realised that Soarin' would be down for our May trip. So, how do I get my DM to see her favourite attraction? Simple. Book a second GF trip! So, I did. And, to top it off, it will be a Festive Season trip. Really, I feel naughty all over... Now I just need the second ticker!

This is calle Disney logic!

Happy Planning!

I'ts always fun! Especially when you friends to share the planning with!

Sometimes you need an 'unfun' day or two to really appreciate a WDW trip!

Pas, safe travels and have a wonderfully GRAND stay.

I just wanted to post a thank you for this thread and all the advice-we leave on Monday (two nights at AoA and then a week at GF)-so excited!

 

[OregonGirl]

Saturday is the day!!! Working tonight and tomorrow night and then Friday is packing and pedicure day

Only two days now, ah!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU STAND IT?!?!? Love the pedicure idea the day before.

I have resort ressies for March but things are looking kinda bleak right now for me so I am going to live vicariously through you. Which means pics! Trip Report! But most importantly HAVE FUN!!

Our first Grand stay is in 44 days! We can't wait!!!!

 

[MommyGina]

cnkkohout - 44 days seems like a lifetime when you are planning a trip to the GF! Time moves so slowly, then when you finally get there; poof! Your vacation is gone in a flash. Savor ever second you are at the GF! It's an experience of a lifetime. We just love the GF. Kids don't want to stay at any other resort. Hence, no vacations in the last couple of years due to DS in college and DD on her way in a few months.

Blue - Hi. The Grand must have been beautiful, as always, but especially decorated for Christmas.

Have a good day my friends.

This is SO true! Last night was busy at first, but really ended nicely. And I am off for a week now! The kids are excited, and my DS14 and DH are excited to have the house to themselves LOL

Time goes SO fast. I want to book F&G, but so far after this trip it will be summer before we return. Sorry things are bleak, I'll try to export some pixie dust to you!!! I will try to post pics live, but I have a Grand groupie friend who may be kind enough to do that for me...blue and trish...looking at you ladies My DD9 who is acting like a b-r-a-t (she wants to stay at BWI) was complaining this morning we aren't there long enough. I think that means she is excited I just want to take in all the Christmas...rides are optional.

Thank you for all the well wishes, Grand peeps are the bestest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The saga of a Disney Princess Boarding passes are printed, and now to pack!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Is there a station on the tv that you can tune into to hear the music during wishes? When we had a MKV at the Comtemporary years ago, I remember that there was a station that we turned on and listened to Wishes as we watched.

I'm great at folding, rolling, packing, carrying, queuing, dragging, more queuing, waiting, more carrying, unpacking, unrolling, unfolding, hanging, draw filling. You positively certain you couldn't use such services!?

 

[locashaina]

I would like to know this as well.

Unfortunately not- and I don't understand why not. Drove me crazy when we had a king deluxe with a MK view. To me the music is what makes the fireworks! We bought the Cd and tried to match it up, but a poor substitute to what you get in the Poly lounge.
