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

[mickeynut1]

And often people will have an expired credit card on their reservation. Or one that expires shortly thereafter. There are many ways to avoid paying for a charge. And people are well versed in all of them.

It looks like RPC is worth the extra cost over SL!

@logpey , WOW! Thank you so much for your replies about both the GF RPC and Poly CL! Now I REALLY can't make a decision, haha! We've also looked at the WL CL Deluxe Room...

I always have a hard time choosing. With that said, GF RPC, Poly CL, & WL CL are all great options, so you really can't go wrong with any of them .

I do miss the bench that used to be at the foot of the bed!

Me too

I totally get it! That's our fave part & exactly why it's a must have on our Disney vacay's also! Have a great trip wherever you land your feet!

Thanks, @logpey !

Don't despair if it doesn't work out. Summer near pool is a nice perk from sl.

I actually loved the location of SL, its in the heart of the resort. I enjoyed the room views~ either the Marina or the Courtyard Pool. Also you're convenient to the water taxi and Gasparilla Island Grill! Don't fret, you'll have a fantastical time!

We are staying a the GF soon and I was wondering if pool noodles can be used at the pool? Also I will have an 18th month old, would we be allowed to use a baby float for him?

Pool noodles are allowed! Also, all the Disney Resorts supply swim vests for children of all ages/sizes, free of charge. Large floats and boogie boards are NOT permitted because of safety concerns and personal space (pool hogs, lol.) I've read that baby floats (safety) are fine, as long as they are small and you are right next to him. Resorts/Pool discretion maybe! Hope this helps..

Baby floats like the puddle jumpers and baby float swimways circles with small canopy that fold up?
Are those allowed? Those are what we use and an adult is always right there.

Puddle jumpers are allowed! As far as the small fold up canopy, I don't see why it would be a problem, but I also can't confirm for sure. Good luck!

Wondering if anyone has stayed TPV recently. Looking for recommendations for room / building. Read several pages on this thread and checked pictures listed of TPV but some several years old and not sure if tree situation is same.
Thanks for the help, Mky

Just read the Grand Floridian bus stop has been relocated on the news thread: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2017/08/bus-stop-refurbishment-and-other-grand.html

The only bad part of the relocation of the bus stop is that we won't have the screen to check how long it will be until the next bus for each park.

Yes, hopefully its not a lengthy refurb!

Anyone ever request a certain bed configuration (ie. 2 Queen and 1 Day Bed room, when there are multiple possible bed configurations) and NOT received it???
We won't arrive until around 5 in the evening, so that worries me too.
TIA!

Yes, for the baby float it will be a small round float. This one doesn't have a canopy. I just want to use something that allows him to have a little more "freedom" than constantly being held. We of course will be right next to him holding the float. I was thinking about a puddle jumper but he's still under the required weight.

I understand and I don't think you will have a problem at all! I hope y'all have a great trip!

Our "Turret" room for 5 nights in Club Level-Sugar Loaf Building at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. July 11-16, 2017. The 2nd & 3rd floor "Turret" rooms have balconies, the 4th does not! Sorry I had to do the video fast as my family likes to be silly and interrupt me on purpose, so that's why it's so fast.
