I scrolled through a few pages but can't scroll through hundreds--lol! We are staying here for the 1st time next spring. Booked an Outer Bldg--Garden View room. Are there certain building(s) I should or should not be requesting or are they all pretty much equal? TIA
Others have answered your question, but I thought I'd chime in as well. The GF really isn't all that spread out and while some outer buildings are closer to the main areas than others, nothing is really that far away. With that said, Big Pine Key and Boca Chica are my favorites for GV and are great choices if you want to be next to the courtyard pool. Big Pine Key is closer to the main building and beach pool, but Boca Chica is just a few more steps. Sago Cay and Conch Key are over by the marina and are closer to Gasparilla's and the buses, with Conch being right by the boat dock. With all of that said, none of the outer buildings are bad choices as they all have great views, it just depends on if there's a particular area you want to be closer to. Also, as KonaKaiTom mentioned, there are some "less desirable" views in Big Pine Key as some rooms overlook the back of the pool house, but even those aren't horrible, IMO. If BPK is one you'd like to request, you could also request "higher floor, 4th or above" to avoid the pool house view. Have a great trip and enjoy the GF .
MickeyNuts More time to make more plans... lol...

Hi ahcupcake...good to "see" you back .
I'm sorry about your kitty, it's so hard to lose a pet. I hope you're doing ok .
Good luck with your faux trip, I hope everything works out and you are able to book something and get back to the GF .
I'm not sure when the next year's DVDs come out, but hopefully someone else will be able to help with that .
Hope everyone has a magical day! Stormy day here, but we can use the rain, so no problems....that is, until I have to get out in it!
Your trip is so close, just 5 more days .
It's rainy and windy here, too. I'm with you, I can handle this weather as long as I don't have to go out in it .
