Howdy howdy! My name is Katie and this is my sixth trip report! Welcome to our most recent adventure! This is me and (as of our last trip) my FIANCÉ, Jamie! :love2: More about us in the aptly named ‘About Us’ post below. We were recently at Walt Disney World from February 12th – 26th...

Hello! I am planning a trip to Disney World, and need some hotel advice. We have stayed at the following hotels: 1) Port Orleans (hated it-felt it was really run down) 2) Animal Kingdom Lodge (Okay, but far away) 3) Grand Floridian (Okay-expected to be wowed, but really hated the separate...

I just got back from a 2 week trip as a first time DVC owner and I had an AMAZING time! 3 adults traveling and we wanted to try the different resorts to see what we liked. We took a flight from California and it was lovely having the middle rows blocked off with extra room to stretch our legs...

To anyone who has had a wedding Disney World, do you know if I would have to pay a separate fee for the venue? I'm planning on getting married in the Wedding Pavilion and have my reception at the Grand Floridian Ballrooms. My consultant told me that my pre-reception would be held in the...

My family and I are very torn, and have gone back and forth a million times. Turning here for the expert help and opinions. We have a Disney Cruise booked for next June 2021 to celebrate my youngest daughter's graduation, and we plan to add 5 nights prior to the cruise to spend in WDW. When...

I know this is a long shot BUT last night (Feb 14), I lost one of my vintage rhinestone shoe clips. These pieces are very sentimental to me. It looks like a Mickey Icon but is not affiliated with Disney. I don’t know how to attach a photo. I have pics on my phone. The details: We left our...

On a cruise got caught up into buying into DVC for 250 points at Riviera. Just got home and after doing some research most likely will cancel and look into buying non direct. We have unique situation as well. We like to go to Disney every couple of years, BUT we live close to Galveston so...

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn, and I'll be the first to admit I have a problem. A pumpkin problem. I can't get enough of them! Jack-o'-lanterns, pumpkin patches, pumpkin pie, pumpkin scented candles, pumpkin cookies, and more than anything: pumpkin spice lattes! This basic witch is ready for fall to...

How early does the monorail start running from the Grand Floridian to MK for rope drop? Is it generally 6:30am?

200 Grand Floridian Points available for rent. Reservations before 4/1/19 will need to be paid in full at the time of reservation due to need to borrow points. Reservations after 4/1/19 require a 50% payment upon reservation confirmation and remaining 50% by 12/31/18. I would be happy to...

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTIONS! Hi ho! Dawn here! Some may remember me as "dmlovullo" here on the DIS, but I have since changed my name to correspond with our YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. I thought it would be better if everything was under the same name. :-) I bring you a tale of...

Hello all! We are planning a college graduation trip to Disney for next December. We booked the GF using a BB offer and got a lagoon view. None of us have ever stayed at the GF before but it's always been a resort we've wanted to stay at, especially for a special occasion. However, we could...

just got back form a split stay in December at the Polynesian DVC , Yacht Club and Contemporary Resort Contemporary resort We had a tower room with a bay lake view. It was Gorgeous! the view looks better to me than the magic kingdom view (from videos and pics Ive seen) because its not a...

Just got back from Disney having booked the Grand Floridian and Beach Club for 3 nights each. This was our first split stay and I would say I would not recommend it. Grand Floridian was amazing and as we expected there was a significant drop-off with the Beach Club. Problems began with check...
