Couple of last comments...
- Totally uneventful check-in experience. Checked-in at the main building and was given CL paperwork there. No introduction or hand off to SL CMs, were told to walk over ourselves. After being greeted and whisked away at AKL earlier this year, these other experiences just never seem to live up!
- I have read reports of GF making one week out phone calls direct from the resort CL CMs, but I never heard from them. I am not sure how consistent this new practice is and seems to only be some resorts.
- We were out every night so didn't get to experience desserts.
- Room was serviced every day before we returned mid day (usually 1ish) which I very much appreciate.
- I like how both GF pools have legitimate pool-side servers. Something some other resorts (ahem, Poly) don't do well.
- Being able to go to either pool and find seating and (usually) shade is such a nice change of pace from places like Poly. I love Poly, but gosh does the pool chair crowding get old sometimes. GF is much easier and worry-free, at least in our travels.
- The orchestra in the main building in the evenings is just one of the coolest things out there.
- Monorails were quick and efficient (excluding the
MNSSHP return trip, ugh).
- Took a Minnie Van a few times, love having that as an alternative for certain trips.
- Missed seeing Richard out front.
Thanks for putting up with the post hogging with all the pics, happy to answer any questions.
