    DVC Grand Floridian Villas Standard vs Lake View

    We have stayed in a two bedroom three times, once in a standard view and twice in a lake view. Both our lake views looked towards the Poly and were alright. If we went to the far edge of our balcony we could see Space Mountain and some of the fireworks. The one time we had standard view our room...

    Villas at Grand Floridian

    We had a standard view once and it was right above the back enterance of the building. It overlooked the pool and the rest of the resort. We have stayed three times with the other two visits being lake view and I actually preferred the standard view better.

    Grossest thing you ate at the parks?

    Last month at Yachtsman's Steakhouse I wasn't paying attention and my side dish was bone marrow. I gave it a try and took a bite but that was enough for me!

    Grand Floridian Buildings

    Two years ago we had a two bedroom standard view DVC room that overlooked the waterfall right outside the back entrance on the fifth floor. We had a lovely view of the pool and the entire resort. We could clearly see the MK fireworks. Last year we had a two bedroom lake view room in the wing...

    Grand Floridian Buildings

    We've stayed at the GF the past three years as DVC members. We love the resort but are not big fans of the bus system. Positive is you are usually the last picked up, so your next stop is the parks. Negative is you are the last picked up and the bus could already be full. Also, you are the last...

    Annual Pass Question?

    My parents and I are on the same DVC contract. They live in IN and I live in IL. We all were able to buy annual passes last year without a problem. I was even able to buy one for my wife who isn't on the contract. They give you a certain limit of how many you can buy even if they aren't...

    Rumor on changes to Disney Dining Plan

    For years now I have been converting my unused TS credits into three snacks each before I board DME. I thought that was a common thing. I usually go to my hotels QS restaurant and get rice krispie treats or baked goods for home.

    Anyone else have a terrible DME baggage experience?

    One year American Airlines severely damaged one of my bags. A hole was ripped in the corner of the bag large enough for a bowling ball to fall out. I had flown in first thing in the morning and hit the parks for the rest of the day. Since I used DME I didn't actually see my bag until I...

    Favorite Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner at Hollywood Studios

    We always eat breakfast at Hollywood and Vine. Typical character breakfast buffet food but they have different characters than the rest of the buffets. They are from Disney Jr. and you get to meet Doc McStuffins, Sophia and Jake. My daughter loves it. Plus we always get an early reservation...

    Booking Be Our Guest Dinner in September Question

    I noticed today on September 11th and 12th online doesn't even list dinner availability. I then went to check other places to eat inside of the Magic Kingdom and there was no availability anywhere.

    Does AKL have a gym ...

    Yes they have a gym. It's basically a standard Disney hotel gym. They are all pretty much the same equipment.

    BOG FP+ Lunch - Pick Your Meal Ahead of Time!

    We pre-ordered for our FP on 10/9 and we still waited around 45 minutes. We had to wait in a line to check in, then shuffled to a longer line that spanned across the bridge to wait in, then once we were inside went to another line to verify what we ordered and paid. Then we had to find our own...

    Grand Floridian Bus Tracker Project Update/ My Magic+

    I was at the GF from 10/9-10/14 and the video screen was never accurate. For example the AK bus should be here in 3 minutes. Once those 3 minutes passed it would just add on 2 minutes or 4 minutes to the clock. What's even the point? In the back of my head I always know a bus "could be" 3...

    Ever seen someone famous while at wdw?

    I saw Michael J Fox walking around Tomorrowland last Saturday 10/11. Once I realized who it was I turned and he was walking into the Tomorrowland Speedway entrance. Sadly the only reason I noticed him was from the way he was walking.

    Poly Lobby

    I was just there yesterday. Both levels of the lobby are walled off. It is like walking down hallways right now. Close cramped up feeling.
