SKjj2009 We were on the 3rd floor over Gaspies. Those rooms have such a nice view.
Good Morning~
!
OK I have to tell you all I saw the pictures
M&P posted right before I went to bed and it made me have the funniest dream about the GF!
That really is too funny!!
M&P...
Awesome Pictures!!! I may have to use a few for the scrapbook since I kept forgetting my camera in the room, and your pics look just like my room view. We had the same housekeeper all week as you did...we loved her...too bad she wouldn't fit in a suitcase, she would have been a great souvenier.
Sheli I hate dragging my camera to the parks because it isn't small but I can't help it.
Turndown was great too. Amazing how many towels we can go through so quickly.
M&P - I have Cannon too!! I love taking pictures and I am always with a camera in my hand, but I am clueless on the settings and stuff. I play around with them, but thats about it!! Did you ever try B&Ws especially with outdoor pictures? Now its so easy you don't need special film you can just turn them that way on photoshop!! In my bedroom all the photos are B&W of the kids, I love them.
Sheli - I think they have the same coffee machine in Gaspies!! I tried to stay away from it, I was using my calories in Alcholic beverages instead!!
I forgot about black and white. I think the camera has a setting for B&w too.
I loved that coffee machine in lounge. Caffe latte for me..hot milk for the baby. quicker than the microwave too lol
I had a lot of pics to post but i just read the FAQ thread and see Brian posted so many of the shots i had so I'll cut those out.
I had so much to comment on and of course i remember when im not online.
I will say the arrival process is a billion times better at the GF than we experienced at the Poly.
having someone waiting for us as we got off the bus is a nice touch. And it is not like they walked over once a bus pulls up or they see you waiting...this woman was waiting at the bus stop when we pulled into the GF.
She was really great especially with helping us with our friends who weren't staying RPC.
We saw a couple of brides and I felt so bad for them with the weather.
Even saw the coach more than once and it was parked under Francks while the wedding was going on because of the rain.
I walked over to the Poly one afternoon to visit a friend and I forgot how loud that resort seems. I really enjoyed how much more relaxed the GF feels.
The Poly's lobby was so loud and i think part of it that everyone is trying to talk over that loud waterfall in there.
GF seems like a slower pace and that works better for me.
Room service was great. They pulled out the table and set everything up like a place setting at a restaurant. We were usually told 40 minutes but never waited more than 20.
We also made use of the DVD library at the desks. Each night the kids watched movies. We watched Cars 4 times over the week. Its my new favorite movie.
We got a discount at Basin in downtown Disney with our APs BUT they didn't have all of the same soaps that were at the GF so we bought some there also.
My daughters did the Tea Party with Aurora and loved it. My wife said it was a great time. I'm glad i booked it.
It was raining that day (of course) so the boys and i were supposed to be at the cabana so instead we jumped over to the MK.
Our stroller broke at one of the parks. We bought it at the GF a few months ago.
They happily replaced it and then we left it outiside the ME bus and didn't realize until we got to the airport.
It was great having our friends with us to help with the kids. Many times this trip we all split up and did our own thing. It was great jumping over to the MK with my older son and doing a few rides, eating at Casey's and playing games at the Space mountain arcade. It was nice to see the games that used to be in the (sorely missed) CR food and fun center.
One day at the MK one of those brief but huge rainfalls came. It was usually a light rain and then out of nowhere it was a heavy rain that actually hurt.
My son and I got soaked!! it was fun going on rides and not caring how wet we got. We even stopped on our way to get a photopass pic taken to show how wet we got.
We took the boat back to the GF and got even wetter with the wind blowing the rain on board. We were just laughing so hard and having a great time.
BUT it was freezing so on our way back to our room we stopped at the hotub to warm up. Don't worry we had our suits on and we rinsed off at the shower first lol There were other people in there and it was so funny how everyone sat there with just thier heads sticking out of the water to keep warm.
