Hi Everyone! We checked in yesterday for our very first GF stay! We are having the best time already!!
We are in Big Pine Key Garden view room and we saw fireworks last night from our room. MK was testing them late last night.
However, the biggest surprise was the size of our room. I am not sure what the area is called, but our room has an extended area with lots of windows, it’s circular, and has a couch and tv. I’m pretty sure it’s not the room I paid for, but it’s so cool!
Decided to decorate the area for Christmas and display a mini tree and decorations out the windows. Does anyone know the name of these rooms?
Thanks!

It was referred to as a Deluxe room, now its referred to as a Turret room. We had it in October, I used to book it all the time. They said their not doing that anymore its going to be something you can try to request or get surprised as you did.
Have a magical time!
Ok, so it did use to be a bookable category, right? I had in my head that they were bookable in the outer buildings, except at SL, where it was by request only.
Yes I booked it whenever I could. It was actually slightly more expensive than a garden view. So when we received it in October I went to the front desk to ask how to book it. You can put a request in like any other, it might work out might not or just get it in the luck of the draw.
Thanks everyone! Such a neat room. We decided we need to make it our Christmas room so we are putting up lights, our stockings, and our mini tree in the windows for all to see. Wow, can’t believe we got this room. So nice for a family of 5 to have so much space, and two TVs!!
FYI conferences usually get put in Sago. So learn what you can about that building. It has nice view or mono or marina!We just booked the grand Floridian for feb 17-21!! It is for a conference so it says garden view room! This is my DREAM resort and I can’t believe I actually get to stay here

Poly was 2013 complete last time. GF was 2014 so hopefully soon!Any refurb rumors for the main hotel rooms (not villas)? We had to cancel two RPC trips this year and will likely not feel comfortable going until the end of next year, but I have the planning bug! We thought the rooms looked tired in 2018. I am hoping now that Poly is getting a refurb, GF will follow!
TIA!!!
I had Big Pine Key in October. It has a lovely view of Poly and the wedding pavilion. What is nice however is that it is right in between both pools. That is handy with kids!Hello. We are going in March. Currently booked in lagoon view. Does anyone have any favorite lagoon view rooms/buildings? Two kids 12&13.
