OMG we leave in 6 days! I have absolutely nothing done; no idea what clothes I'm bringing for anyone, not sure what I still need to buy as far as toiletries, tons of appts. next week on top of cleaning and crap. I was busy all day Friday and then yesterday my mom, Ricky and I went to the city to see my sister who was up from Ga. for work so another day, nothing done, although it was great to see my sister for a bit. She'll be up with the boys for Xmas but we haven't seen her since July.
I was happy when we got back to see that the shirts I ordered from RedBubble had arrived! I'll post pics at some point; they came out great other than all being like, 2 sizes too big 
I ordered our regular sizes too and was afraid they'd be too small since that usually happens; I never have luck ordering from these sites! Hopefully after a washing or two they'll shrink down to size like my Halloween shirts did because I really do love them.
I had hoped to be farther along in this by the time we left than I am - I haven't even finished our first full day lol - but alas there are only so many hours in a day so I'll have to continue this after the holiday and hope to get to our Thanksgiving trip TR before the new year..........
You want toiletries? I'll give you toiletries!
Day 2 part 5 (last part I promise!)
We had a great night in HS, experiencing TSL for the first time, hanging a bit more with Cathy and Brandon, and of course getting to see Billie again! We were tired when we got back to the GF but also STARVING! We decided to check out Gasparilla Grill. It was about 9:40 and the place was jumpin' with lots of families just out of the pool as well as tons of families back from MNSSHP. The family in front of me at the register was telling the CM how much fun they had trick or treating; the CM asked if they liked the parade and the dad said they left before the first one and didn't do any rides or meet characters, just went at 7 when it started, did some trick or treating, and are back now. What???? OK, sorry about the sad story. Anyway THEN the CM told the dad that in about 15 minutes they could watch Hallowishes from right outside GG and it would be the best view anywhere outside the parks! What????? I'd never considered where the best place at the GF would be to watch fireworks and it wasn't even on my radar for the night, but you know it was now!
We took our food outside to a table around what I'm going to describe as a huge patio; some of you know where I mean and if you don't, sorry! There's lots of tables set up outside Gasparilla Grill and then this roundish area with some potted plants and benches, and it's the perfect view of the fireworks. We both got the same thing to eat:
Roast Beef Sandwich
with Horseradish and served with House-made Chips
You might have noticed we were ending today having NOT done a TS meal, and neither of us were thrilled with a late QS dinner. Anyone who is familiar with my reports here knows we're a big TS family, but I have to say this was probably the best QS sandwich we've ever had! Plus Disney house made chips 
Soon Hallowishes began and while I wish I'd taken more pictures, we just watched and enjoyed. The fireworks are ALL around you, it's like a panoramic view and it's gorgeous. I have one measly picture that does the view no justice, but at least you can see that head-on was fantastic:
Once they were over we walked around the grounds a little as it's something we've never done there other than walking to and from Narcoossee's.
Does size REALLY matter lol?
I do love the above picture so wish I'd gotten the two before it smaller and this one bigger!
We figured out where our room - ahem,
suite was, too. In the below picture: the bottom level is GF Cafe and right above it lit up is Citricos. Right above Citricos, darkened except for one light over to the right, is the Roy Disney Suite
then above it is the Walt.. :
And with that we finished our 2nd GRAND day in the Roy Disney Suite! But I did promise you some toiletry pictures, right? Not something that's usually exciting, and most of what we had we'd gotten before at deluxe resorts and when we stayed CL at WL, but there were some new ones, too. These may be normal for all GF CL stays but since this was our first ever stay here, they were new to us.
Everything that was in both full bathrooms, every day. We'd never had the mouth wash or shower cap or those tall boxes in the back )which I'll get to) before but had gotten the aloe gel at WL a few times, both CL and not.
The vanity kit was new, too! And besides the one in the tray there were these:
Inside:
Very large q-tips. Sorry for the side view! This was my favorite and I brought a couple (plus a bunch) home since they replenished everything every day. Steve joked that we'll never get another upgrade due to the volume of toiletries that made their way back to NY this trip. I use those pads for make-up purposes every day so they were a big plus even though I had brought my own.
Continued in next post
Swingstyle in my regular size is the most comfortable though. When I do the 5ks I size down in the Swing Style and it really doesn't budge!
)
buy a bag of candy at Target and save yourselves some $$
you know, if one was going to do that in the GF lobby. And the arrangement was so FREAKING big! Just to walk around it and trim it took forever. I watched for about 20 minutes and I guarantee it was a process that took HOURS.
Right?!
