Cmbar - Have a wonderful time! Maybe we'll see you?? We arrive the 16th in the eve -if I remember right, you leave that day late??
Yes, to get to the monorail you go to the main building and there is the "Grand Staircase" or the cute cage elevator to get you to the 2nd floor where the outer doors lead to the monorail station. The boats are great, too, on a nice day but you will go to Poly then MK. They go MK, GF, Poly, MK, GF, Poly so if you are leaving MK and see a boat coming your way you know it will not stop at GF but is coming directly to MK and run for the line!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have only been to Gaspies a couple times, but no problem getting seats. We usually love to sit outside and enjoy the castle view and pretty surroundings.
I think almost all the new rooms have the daybeds now - except lodge tower. Hockeymom had a daybed in her dormer room in July so maybe they have put daybeds in the dormers when they redid them.
Or a few?? I am getting excited for you!!!!!!!!! If you can, post while you're there and let us know how things are going. Hope it's magical for you.
Babyboo....sorry IPO has been a letdown. They've dropped the ball on us many a time, too. That part of the concierge service has definitely gone down several notches. The onsight staff is great, though, and it's a shame the resorts don't put more into the IPO because it sure does give a bad first impression of the resort.
I am sure the feeling is equally shared by all. Nobody is getting priority service while you're getting ignored.
Happy planning,
