Quick question (it may be a dumb one and if so I apologize) but how do you know what concierge lounge you are in? I didn't realize there were two and I just booked Club Level today for October
Congrats on your upcoming trip Does you reservation say Main Building or Outer Building? If it says main building then you are in Royal Palm Club(RPC) and outer would be Sugar Loaf(SL), you can't go wrong with either CL.....Hope this helpsQuick question (it may be a dumb one and if so I apologize) but how do you know what concierge lounge you are in?

Good Evening fellow GF lovers

Enjoy you stay, hope you flight gets in early enough to take full advantage. So relaxing sitting in the lounge listening to the piano & orchestra and sipping a glass of champagne or wine. RPC is my fav of all the CL's we stayed at during our WDW trips.It says Main Building so Royal Palm Club it is! Thank you I've always wanted to stay at the Grand so I am thrilled to be staying here and its CLUB level We are not going to the parks because we are just there for a day before a Disney Cruise but I plan on taking advantage of the Club and the resorts amenities

So I just added a room request to our GF Outer Building Garden View room. I said "Sago Cay, top floor, non-connecting, quiet room". Is this OK or am I asking too much? Should I have not requested a particular building (which is not a deal breaker at all)? Also, since I have this info attached to my reservation, is it still necessary to call the resort a week before with room request info?
30 days from today for our first GF visit for 10 nights - I can't stand it

Yes it's hot as hello down here in the Lone Star state!
Mickeynut, as far as I'm concerned there's not a bad TPV room at the Grand! Lol
Glad to hear all is well... everything is fine here, just trying to stay cool, it's hot as a firecracker out there
Yep, we agree with a more personal approach and will wait and check in at the resort
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

It sounds fantastic to me! There is just something about the Grand Floridian lobby that I love its so beautiful and relaxing to just sit and soak up the atmosphere! We are getting in around 9 am so the plan is to spend the whole day at the resort then over to Boma for Dinner Then grab breakfast in the lounge in the morning before heading to Port
Hi, a couple more questions if you don't mind...
What is the address I should use if I want to have a package sent (diapers from amazon) before I arrive? How should it be addressed?
Also, what is the fax number to fax room requests and when should that be done? (We check in august 21)
Hello everyone
Whelp, it's almost time for our first GF stay... WHOOT
{just let me pause for a pre arrival party break}
shake my groove thang, shake my groove thang, yeah yeah!!
OK, now back to our regularly scheduled program
I've read posts concerning "To do or not do on line check in" however, haven't seen the answer to this question OR the answer is out there and my Xanax has gotten in the way of me being able to fully comprehend it either way, I need help ya'll
Question: Does on line check in, over write requests already noted on our reservation that was given to IPO?
I wouldn't make any room requests during online check in, however, would complete everything else... on the flip side, if doing so would negate what has been provided to IPO, then I'm not touching online check in
Thanks much everyone...
Now let's get back to our pre arrival celebration
Does anyone know if the queen deluxe rooms in RPC now have daybeds as part of the recent refurb? It looks like the king deluxe may have them so I was hoping the queen deluxe got them as well.
Thank you!
Hi Blue,
I'm always here. I read this thread a few times a day on my iPhone. I love learning about the Grand from you and all of my Grand friends on here.
Sending pixie dust your way! Have a magical day my Grand friends!
Candy
Wow, thank you SO MUCH for all of the info. It is very much appreciated! Can't wait to check in!
You're welcome! So close, it won't be long before you are at the Grand! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask - lots of great DISers here to help.
Doing ok here!
I pop in here and there and check in on y'all.
We're finally heading back to RPC in November, TPV! Yea!
So, I'll be hanging out here more now.
So what is the best location for tpv and why? I am having a hard time finding photos and videos from TPV. I keep looking at the map and cant decide, we will be using the pools alot.
Also do most of the rooms connect?
My impression from earlier thread posts was that many thought all the deluxe rooms would be getting daybeds after the recent room refurb. I just wanted to know if anyone could confirm/deny if that is the case.

Thanks again for the heads up

POR and POFQ are currently the only resorts that read and act upon faxed requests. It is recommended to call the main reservation line and have any room requests added to your reservation. I would call now as rooms are assigned 2-3 days prior to your arrival.
....
k&a&c'smom Just reviewing the info on the first page here and let me say again how comprehensive and helpful all of the info is ...thanks for keeping it all up to date too.... As for the Frozen phenomena...I don't really get it either...and while we loved the movie...the classics will always be my fave...what can compare to Cinderella....JMO....
Hope that all of my fellow GF fans had a wonderful weekend! preppy GF gal... who is over on my smilies yet again.. lol....
I AM having a Grand weekend, thank you for asking.
Well, our good friend WDWKOOK told me she has talked with the manager at WL, and he says the OCI requests do NOT override your reservation requests - they see both. So, do with all the info what you will. I'm not sure I will take the chance, as others have said, I like discussing our rooms assignment with the CM.
coopersmom
I hope someone can answer the question about the deluxe rooms and a daybed. If they did so in the queen deluxe, that would certainly mean a bump up from 4 max. occupancy to 5. The crowd goes wild!!
Hi k&a&c'smom
Glad to hear you had a Grand weekend the weekend always goes by so fast
Thanks much for the info from WDWKOOK
I really like the idea of checking in-in person, discussing requests with the CM and having the more personal approach + I don't want to take any chances
Have a great week and talk to ya soon
LOL!
Good Morning Everyone!!!
I've been MIA since school ended!!! We had a family wedding in Jamaica for 7 nights....came home and repacked for the GF for 6 nights. July is a beautiful blur!!!
I've been visiting and trying to keep up when I can!!
I am now in the process of planning an 8 night trip to the GF in July 2015 with a group of 14. CAN'T WAIT!!!
The GF was beautiful, I liked the new rooms, but its not Disney themed!! As always we had the cabana and Holly for 3 days and it was wonderful!!
I always stay garden view, big pine key.....every requested was done on line, we did the on line check in and every request was meet.
The hotel was filled 100%, I assume because of the work at the Poly. This is the first time ever in all the years that I didn't get at least one room out of the group to dump our stuff in while running to the parks.
The gym was busier then usual, but I got a treadmill every time!! Always got a seat in Gaspies so the 100% wasn't a problem at all. The only time it really felt crowded was up at Mizners.....I think the people from the villas are regulars now and it was packed!!!! Besides a lot of weddings and wedding parties hanging out too!!! I noticed a lot of people using the large round table in the lobby for snacking and drinking while listening to the great music.
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer....I'll definitely be around regularly again...life is back to normal!!!
