I say GF, yes the rooms are refurbed at the Poly (although I’m not a fan, new is nice) but you can’t use the monorail. And I don’t know about you, but walking to the TTC or GF to catch the monorail in the dead of summer does not sound fun to me. I feel that’s the biggest perk of staying on the...

They all have pros and cons. I usually request Boca Chica or Big Pine Key, I’ve stayed in Sago Cay and Conch Key before but they’re not my favorites. But people do like Sago Cay because it’s close to the quick service and main building, and Conch Key has great views and is close to the boat...

I just saw on Disney’s website that the Club Level rooms look very different from the standard garden wing/main tower rooms. The bedroom and bathroom are totally updated. Were they renovated recently or is this the new look of the rooms for the entire resort?

I’ve encountered two really bad CM’s. One was at the check-in desk at Ohana, back in normal times we used to put our name on a waiting list at like 4:30 and head to MK to do some rides. By the time we’d come back, there was always a party that didn’t show up or they would squeeze us in. We had...

Boca Chica and Big Pine Key are my favorites for lagoon view.

That’s why I’m glad we have so many options, I’m thrilled for those that like this refurb! I just personally am not a fan. I really hope the Contemporary and GF are more appealing to me...I’m not holding my breath though.

I just don’t like it. I don’t like the layout, it’s not going to be easy for families/friends to get ready in privacy. There’s no counter space. The colors are boring and look like a Marriott (drastic difference from the loudness of the bedroom). Besides the mirror and tiled wall, I don’t get...

I think they’re an overall failure. Hate the wallpaper on the TV wall, the bathrooms look like a moderate resort quality now, and I’m really not a fan of putting wood/tile floor throughout the whole room. I know it’s more hygienic, but it makes the room cold and it’s much louder than carpet...

My first trip was in 2002, I was almost 5 years old. I have just a couple memories: 1) we stayed at the Grand Floridian, 2) I remember going out on our balcony at the hotel and hearing the howling from Haunted Mansion, 3) I remember going on Tower of Terror and buying the Disney Channel movie at...

I’m interested to know how you got selected for this. I would love to do that someday when I’m there! And I know you can’t share too much, but they were really that bad?! I am not a fan of the use of IP in the resort rooms...my resort room is an escape from the park with tasteful Disney touches...

Just curious, what was your upgrade? I haven’t been upgraded since 2003 at the GF, we were booked in a garden view and got upgraded upon arrival to Sugar Loaf.

I’m really disappointed they are renovating the Contemporary before the Grand Floridian. It’s completely lost its identity as the flagship resort, and it’s wrong they continue to charge the prices they do for the quality of the rooms. The GF bedroom itself isn’t horrible but the bathrooms are...

If you have an opportunity to stay at the Grand Floridian, I would take it!!!

I am a diehard Grand Floridian fan. Definitely has its faults, but overall I find everything to be just a step above in quality compared to the other resorts. I’d probably pick the Contemporary over the Polynesian, it’s just doesn’t do it for me like it does for others...which is great! This is...

The Contemporary is so classic Disney. Definitely not my first choice (I’m a hardcore GF fan), but a visit to Disney wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the Contemporary to walk around and eat. California Grill is one of my favorite restaurants ever!! As for the rooms, I’ve heard they’re...

Just wondering if anyone else has booked their trips yet for the 50th Anniversary Celebration?! I’m booked at the Grand Floridian 10/1-6. The CM that booked my trip over the phone was borderline rude and not helpful...hope this company isn’t going down the tubes! Also hoping things will be...

Slow, old, and glitchy. I’ve gotten stuck before.

Yeah the elevators aren’t much better at GF either, but at least I don’t feel like I’m in a hospital elevator like at Polynesian lol

I heard during my last trip there from a CM that all three monorail resorts are getting major room upgrades before the 50th anniversary. There are already some pics out of the Polynesian and Contemporary but nothing for GF yet. Word on the street is that they are starting to put more character...

The last time I was at the GF, a CM told me that all three monorail resorts are getting massive room renovations by the 50th anniversary. My biggest problem with the GF rooms is the bathroom, it needs to be totally reconfigured.
