    Did I Really Just See That.....in Disney World?????

    A few summers ago, I saw a bunch of Brazilian tourists throwing garbage on the ground throughout the queue for Splash Mountain. I also saw a kid tell his mom to F off in front of the whole crowd of people at the Courtyard Pool and he ran back into his building at the Grand. It was ridiculous and...

    Christmas Hotel

    You have to consider a few things here. First off, I am a huge proponent of the Grand Floridian. It's the best of the best, especially at Christmas! But are you going to get spoiled and not want to stay anywhere but a deluxe next time? Plus are you ready for the price difference? It's going to...

    Which is more important to you?

    I have to say the amenities and common areas are more important in my books. For example, the rooms at the Grand Floridian are nothing to write home about, but I love staying there so much because of the monorail, ambience, grounds, and pools!

    Would you recommend the Polynesian?

    I would not recommend the Polynesian...it shouldn't even be considered a deluxe resort in my opinion (I know all the Poly fans are going to hate me!) If you're going to make the switch to the monorail resorts, go for the gold and stay at the Grand Floridian. You won't be disappointed. I love the...

    Which resort screams Disney to you?

    My first resort (and the resort I prefer to stay at always) was the Grand Floridian. It is the opitimy of Disney in my eyes. It brings me back to my first times to Disney. I just love everything about it!!! What resort do you feel the most sentimental about?

    Improvements on favorite resorts

    A room refurb for my beloved GF...it's so 90's even with the 2007 refurb. They need to be redesigned to look like the villas are going to look! Now those are some nice rooms

    Fragrances in lobbies...

    I like the new fragrance, but when it is first sprayed, it is overly strong. The smell that they were testing at the Poly (some bamboo scent) is not being used anymore, thank god. Back to the old Poly smell! My favorite smell is the Grand Floridian. It's fresh, not nauseating, and luxurious. I...

    Defacing of Toy Story Mania queue continues!

    This is appalling. I had a similar experience three summers ago... a group of Brazilian students were literally throwing straight garbage (cups, napkins, etc.) throughout the queue at Splash Mountain. It was disgusting! And I had a problem at the hotel too... a few Brazilian teenagers were up...

    I've stayed at the GF, Boardwalk (plus DVC), Beach Club (plus DVC), Yacht Club, Contemporary (only stayed at DVC part), Animal Kingdom Lodge (plus Jambo DVC), Saratoga Springs, and Port Orleans Riverside. As my signature below says, I am in love with the GF. I usually try to stay there, and if I...

    Suggestions on a room request at the GF!

    Honestly there isn't a bad building at the GF. I have a preference towards Boca Chica and Sugarloaf but it's all a matter of preference.

    Those elevators are screwy to be begin with. They need to be updated.

    Is The Grand Too Grand.?

    I think it has developed into something pretentious. It was my first Disney resort, so it holds a special place in my heart. The Grand is definitely not for everyone, but I feel comfortable there.

    Contemporary Conundrum

    I know exactly how you're feeling right now. I am a diehard GF fan, but have stayed at the Contemporary, Polynesian, Beach Club, Boardwalk, and will be staying at Yacht Club in October. Especially when I was at the Polynesian (I despise it...sorry Poly fans!) and the Contemporary (not too bad)...

    What Disney things used to scare you when you were a kid?

    My first trip to WDW I went on absolutely everything. I was four. Then for about 5 years, I wouldn't go on anything. The Haunted Mansion was terrifying, the drop of Pirates of the Caribbean was horrendous, and Tower of Terror...FORGET IT. Now, the tables have turned...sorta. My sister is afraid...
