Grand Floridian lobby carpet redo

[DaGoof00]

I am at GF now. New carpet is already at the hotel spread out and prepared to be laid down. It is fine, still looks like the previous intricate carpet not downgraded from what i can tell. Pics later on.

Thank you!!

I'd love to see! I'm checking in on the 23rd.

Oooh, carpet.

I wish. I can't stand seeing the latest ad and the roof lights are still dark.

I'm not sure there were ever roof lights on all the buildings. Looking through old pictures I only see lights on narcooses, parts of the main building, the monorail platform and some of the pool buildings.

I just did this photo about an hour ago. The work on the carpet seems to be done soon.

Above is an older pic showing the lagoon side lighting. Not every building had as much lighting, but there's still a lot missing. A few years ago (like around 2011 or so) you could still see parts of the strands on those buldings working (though a lot were burned out there were still spots with enough to clearly indicate strands on the buildings). Now for the past 3-4 years though, pretty much all of them are out except Narcoosees and part of one of the top turrets, which now seem to be LED.

Someone already posted the new carpet. Thanks for saving me the trouble!

All of the lights in the picture were present and working last time I was at the resort ( about 1 month ago)

Yep we stayed for a week last month and no lights like the one photo this was our view from our balcony.

[Seanual757]

Correct but the main building are not.

 

[peter11435]

The same lights are visible on the main building in both pictures

I hope the room wasn't too pricey considering the "awesome view"

Used some of our DVC points for a2-bedroom villa (my folks had a 2 bedroom as well), estimates would have cost us well over $10k+ for the week for room if I had to pay cash. Between this trip our May, July, and October trip we will break even on our DVC purchase next Spring Break 2017.

Lot's of lights were burnt out on the mail building and we saw none replaced from Sunday-Saturday.

Yea for us it made sense we are local, we are APH's and we stay 3-4 times a year on average 12-14 days a year we stay. Not seeing a receipt at the end of each stay is great.

I would agree with the later part... I miss being local
