upgrade question

[doombuggy1983]

We are booked at the Grand Floridian in early December, and are staying 10+ days. We understand that stays this long tend to get upgrades. Last year we were in a garden suite at Boardwalk. Are there any comparable suites at GF? If not, what should we look for in an upgrade? We have not stayed at the GF in ages, and can't remember too much about it. Should we try to upgrade before we go, or take our chance when we get there???

Thanks for your advice.

What type of room do you have booked? They will upgrade a standard room to a more expensive one like a lagoon view if there is room available. They neve upgrade standard room to a suite though, unless you pay for it.

Actually, we did get an upgrade from a standard to a suite once...but that was because the hotel had given away our confirmed (with a paid deposit) room...a large group had checked in just before us, so rather than give only one couple out of the whole group a much superior room, they opted to give ours away, and gave us the suite when we arrived.

Thanks for the info, we are currently booked for a regular room at the GF, but we have been contemplating changing to a suite. Tried to get the garden suites at Boardwalk, but were told they were booked during our stay. Has anyone ever compared the suites to the regular rooms at the Grand Floridian? We are wondering if it is worth the extra money....
