Disney's Grand Floridian Check Out Day! | Last Look At The Room, Shopping & Our Review Of The Resort
Вставка

- Today’s vlog is our check out day for our Disney Bucket List staycation at the Grand Floridian. We were so sad to be leaving but we took the morning to really take it in and show you our favorite parts of the room. We loved the view the most I think. You really can’t beat it! We feel so lucky to have been able to watch the fireworks for 3 days from that balcony. We have some breakfast and started packing. We left and headed to Disney Springs to try to exchange our broken balloon but we realized that the balloon vendors don’t come out until 1 so we’ll have to try again on our next trip for sure. Tim got a new light weight rain jacket from the Columbia store. We even got to use a coupon on it and save some money, yay! We head into Sephora, I just needed some face wash and then we head home. On our way home we head to the Croc’s outlet to get my Crocs finally!!! I’m so excited to finally be a part of the cool Crocs Club (haha). I even won a pair of Croc socks! It was my lucky day. Once we got home we showed you what we got on our stay and give our thoughts on the resort as a whole. We also give you a little update as to what we’ve got coming up. We hope you had fun hanging out with us today! Thank you for watching and we’ll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

What about getting a pin from every resort and putting the pins all around the frame. That frame will hold many pins and this way you don’t have so many picture frames that you need to find a place for.
We do something similar. We get pins for our trips then put them on a shadow box
I love resort pins
I collect magnets from places I visit, and put them on my fridge 😁
We always get Christmas ornaments from different places we visit
@@CorinneBlackstone We have done the same thing!! Everytime we go, we get pins from where we stayed, rides we rode and put them in a shadow box. Its fun and we love looking back at them!
I feel like Jackson knows that’s not his thumb and it’s the greatest joke of his life right now.
Love this comment! ☝️👍😉
And maybe he's not pointing at things anymore, but thumbs-upping them!!! This lamp? So cool! This curtain? SO COOL!! This monorail? AMAZING!!! This thing I have no idea what it is but I'm pointing at it anyway? THE BEST EVER!!!
Jenn, that’s so nice of you to say about Grand cast. I enjoyed making magic when I was there, I was Mousekeeper Michelle from 2009-2015 until I transferred to a new position. Your comments are proof that it does make a difference to go the extra mile and that’s appreciated by the guests. I gave Caleb a shoutout for you on the boards. When I return next week to my office, I’ll see what else I can formally recognize his going above and beyond for you. What he did for you is the type of thing that’s recognized in the Cast magazine for everyone to read about.
I still think the Grand Floridian needs the Orchestra back. I hope they would come back too.
2:11 Tim 👍🏻
I love Disney Cast members… they really are so special. They definitely make your stay better! So friendly, so helpful and so fun. Shout out to all the cast members 👏🏻
We stayed at the GF ( main bldg.)2yr ago as a "bucket list" stay for my husband's 65 birthday. The cast member that helped make our reservation went above and beyond to get us a room we could afford with help from her supervisor. We ended up on a concierge floor that was the most amazing experience we've ever had! The cast members were truly at the core of our cherished memories. We greatly appreciate each one of you 👍 🤗👏🥰
I love when Jackson was laying on the floor it sounded like he said “I’m good.” So cute!!
I thought it totally sounded like "I'm dead" Hahaha
*Jackson lays on floor*
Tim: You okay down there buddy?
Jackson: “I’m good.”
Too cute!!!
Heard that too laughed out loud
My Family stayed at the Grand Floridian EVERYTIME we Visited as I was growing up!!!!!!! Such a Beautiful Hotel!!!!!!!
I love how they get sad when its check out day, but then a few days later their at a resort again!
I booked our honeymoon at the Grand Floridian (1993) over the phone and told them it was our honeymoon stay (3 nights 4 days) . We were so surprised when we got into the room (garden view $189.00 per night) and they had a printed GF card congratulating us with our new married names and a cheese,crackers,fruit and champagne basket! Also when we first pulled in at main entrance for valet the doorman congratulated us and remembered our names through out our stay which we never forgot how special the cast members were. A very special and Grand experience for us that we cherish to this day!
@@amielawson8344 aww I want to spend my honeymoon at Disney now too!! Probably should find a groom first though lmao 🤣
My Hubby and I Honeymooned at Disney. Stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge which was Amazing!!!!
Since Jackson is so young you might want to get him used to the sound and feel of clippers and scissors near his ears so he doesn't get scared when the time comes for his first haircut. If Tim has a beard trimmer (let Jackson touch the handle), or if you have a vibrating toothbrush those could be good tools to get him acclimated.
Yes! This is a great idea! Practice barbershop!
Yes! We would put the back of the clippers to my kids head while it is on to get them use to it before they got it cut. It worked great!!
I really like that shirt that Jen is wearing it really really makes her eyes pop, they are especially bright in the last part of this video
Yay!!!!!!! the fireworks are back! I got to see the fireworks in Disneyland with my son on July 9th.
When are you guys going to update your logo? I can't wait to see a tiny jackson on the intro logo.
The check-out stress-out …. I think everyone has experienced this at least once in their life 😜😂
Every time!!
Every. Single. Time.
Every time for me!
Yes that is very common!
Jackson is so cute!!! He acts just like my son Around Elevators, doors etc.
Yay bluey on in the background. Made in Australia 🇦🇺 also use to live where it’s based so it’s cool seeing places you recognise like Southbank.
Another great video guys. The grand Floridian is so beautiful definitely on my bucket list too. So far stayed at contemporary and beach club suites
Perfect shirt for Tim!💗 " The World is Our Palm Tree!" And hamburger!!👍😉
I agree - the grand Floridian service / cast members are just amazing!!!!
When my kids put their croc strap down they call it “putting their crocs in four wheel drive”😂.
Omg I’m using this from now on. I’ve been calling it “sport mode.”
@@ashleyhuertas594 My kids call it sport mode too! When the strap is up it's Leisure Mode!
I say this too! Thats too funny
I’ve been saying it’s in Sport mode
😂😂😂😍😍😍
As an administrator for the last 12 years and a teacher for 10, I just want to say your son is very smart. Good job Mom & Dad!! You’re doing a great job.
We went to Disney Springs on the 4th as well!! Of course we didn’t get there until later, and it was crazy packed!! I haven’t been to Springs in years, and it was definitely overwhelming. We wanted to grab a quick service meal that I knew the kids would enjoy, but that my husband and I wanted to try as well. We stood in line for about 20-30 minutes at Chicken Guy and thankfully found a table outside, but of course it started raining on us a bit and half of our table wasn’t covered by the umbrella. 😂 While my husband and the kids waited in line for dinner, I walked over to Gideon’s and got a return time for their line, which they told me was around 160 minutes!! After dinner, we walked over to World of Disney so our kids could get something fun (it was also their birthday the day before) and right as we were checking out I got the text that I was ready to return to the line at Gideon’s (it was a 95 minute wait instead of 160). My husband took the kids back to the car and I went to Gideon’s to get our cookies. 😊
Good to See Bluey on tv while you have breakfast
I love the tiny whale🐳 on Tim's shirt. Also, Jen you can buy fun push buttons for your crocs. I have several pairs and each of my pairs has a theme on them with the buttons. They really dress up the crocs. 😀
Great vlog guys, looks like you had a great time!! Also its not just a Disney cruise but all cruise lines have room attendants who are with you the entire trip and learn you, your likes, etc...Once again thanks!!
Enjoyed your staycation. Looks like a great place, maybe one day I will enjoy the Grand Floridian for myself. Great to hear that the cast members were fantastic. Always helps when you get great service from everyone. Big thumbs up for the cast members hey Jackson..........
I'm totally with Tim on stressing out on checkout day. Even when I stay by myself I always start semi-packing the night before because I think I won't make it in time.. and then I'm stuck with 2-3 hours to spare in the morning and nothing to do lol
I like the Grand Floridian frame concept. I might use a frame for my Busch Gardens photos and a pin.
Anyone remember Richard,
he was greeter at the Grand Floridian
for many years! He welcomed everyone
as if it was his home. RIP Richard❤️
I remember him very well. Absolute legend and was a great friend.
I’m so glad you guys had such a great experience, but you also have to take into consideration which is not your fault at all that you guys are pretty known so people at these resorts know when to put on there best behaviors I think sometimes they go above and beyond for you because they know there will be some sort of a review. I hope that’s not the case, but it’s something I’m sure crosses peoples minds still awesome video and I’ll always love you guys!!! ❤️
You guys are local celebrities so I'm sure CM's go out of their way to make your family comfortable and happy when you stay at a resort. It seems obvious especially guests who have made comments that had different experiences. That's just human nature to go above and beyond to someone well known. Please don't think that this is a negative comment, I just think it's obvious that anyone would put their best foot forward with a celeb!
When the pandemic was happening crocs was giving away a pair to healthcare workers for free and I got a free pair! I didn’t get to pick a color or anything and they ended up sending me a bright yellow pair. Unfortunately I can’t wear the bright yellow ones at work but I think it’s pretty amazing of crocs to give away free pairs for healthcare workers!
I tried to get in but no matter how early I got there they were all gone.
@@jessicasmith13098 I think I got on the website at like 11:30 (the sign up started at 12 I think) and just refreshed right at 12 and signed up.
@@brantlie_boone oh wow.
Jackson is the MOST adorable, I swear. When Tim asked him if he was ok at 2:36, I swear it sounded like he said "I'm good!", lol...also, It's ok, Tim. I stress out about deadlines, too. There's just something about a predetermined timeline that feels stressful.
I thought the same thing! I feel like Jackson is discovering his TV personality :)
Did you also hear the “thank you” when Tim put more fruit on his plate?🥺
@@IittIebeansprout aww! I didn't. That's super cute, though.
Jackson makes my whole week!!!
Staycation ending is always the worst! Jen’s excitement for the crocs is cute. -S
Hooray for Caleb! This was one of the best staycations I've followed you on, and that's saying a LOT. Talk about living vicariously. I also loved Jen's glowing smile at the beginning. You are so beautiful! And another hooray for Tim getting the burger shirt. You just had to, it was too perfect. I can't lie, I'll be sad when Jackson gets his haircut, his little curl in the back is so adorable. He'll still be the cutest kid on YT, of course. Thank you for sharing your stay, it was excellent!
4:50 So cute Jackson comes running around the corner to give mommy her glasses and says "your glasses" that little buddy is already talking! You just got to pay attention and know baby talk.
Omg CROCS are the best! I wear them everywhere. I have a work pair and a nice pair. Also, when the strap is in front of your foot, we call it in “two wheel drive” and when the strap is behind your foot we call it in “four wheel drive”. Lol.
Been on Disney cruises and totally understand what u mean we loved our room attendant they are awesume and go above and beyond to make it magical!!!
I just adore Jackson!!! The happiest kid and luckiest.
Omg did anyone else here Jackson say I am good ?? I heard him saying that he’s growing up so much so fast in front of our eyes he’s so precious.
@@Oliveyourmoney He’s going to talk real soon can’t believe how fast he has grown.
I've really enjoyed this vlog. Such a beautiful stay! And big boy on his big chair eating his food. X
We took my son Carter to get his hair cut for the first time when he was 18 months old in 2018. Definitely request a photo pass photographer to be there. Ours got some amazing shots for us. The cutest was a picture she took outside the window with his freshly new do smiling a mischievous smile. So adorable!!! We are booking our first trip back since March of 2020 for May 2022. We now have a daughter who was born August 2019 and she’ll need to get her first trim at the barbershop too. 😊 So I hope it’s open by then.
Glad you folks enjoyed... TGF is the best ! The Roy Disney Suite in the Main Building on The Concierge level has 4 balconies and you can see every part of the Resort including Epcot from them.. 1400 square feet. ..Was lucky enough to stay there as the staff upgraded us for no upcharge for 3 days as the turret room we reserved was given away to a honeymoon couple... Great staff... Great Resort.
I laughed when Jackson said. I'm good. '' when Tim asked if he was good.
Very clever of Caleb, it's a lovely frame!
Love that you all love Crocs so much! My best friend is working in an orphanage in Ethiopia and they just delivered a huge donation of Crocs to the girls there! They were so excited!!Crocs love is universal!
Loved this trip video - Jackson sitting nicely at the table with his breakfast is precious - he’s so well behaved and grown up !
Tip from a former CM, ... If you really like how a CM treated you on your Disney stay, find a Guest relations and leave them a compliment. once they receive a certain amount of compliment they get to choose a small gift or a lunch. We all always chose the lunch.
Another cool idea y'all could do for reach staycation is to get a big cork board and print a photo from the stay and use a pin from the resort to pin it to the cork board! It'll kind of make a collage after some time too! All the photos in one place that way! :)
I think it makes a big difference staying in a one of a kind suite vs standard room there also.. we love the GF resort, but one time had a room that was dirty and found food on the floor like chips and cereal in the couch also and the wallpaper was coming off…. So it just depends it’s due for an update.
I'm pretty sure at 6:41 when they are out on the balcony Jackson says "I'm going in". I replayed that part of the video ~10 times and that is what I hear clear as day! So exciting that one day he will be giving all of his opinions on these stays too!
Did Jenn just convince me to buy Crocs? 😂 yes. Yes she did.
I loved this series of videos! I would love to stay at the Grand Floridian. I was able to live vicariously through you, LOL! Jackson is super cute and you guys are such great parents.
Love watching your staycation videos! You should stay at Coronado Springs next!!
We stayed at GF last September. It was AMAZING!! It is our DVC home resort and one of our favorite places to stay. The cast members make the stay!
This was a amazing trip thanks for taking us along with you guys.
U make me feel like I am with u at all the places u go and thank u and God bless you
I just watched your 2016 BOG breakfast video and you were so excited to see that guy in his robe on the balcony @ Grand Floridian. YOU could have been THAT guy for someone else!
Loved your stayvacation series - cant wait for the next one.
What a seasoned traveller Jackson has become . He has worked out elevators and buttons to push .TOO CUTE. 👍👍💝🤗
I would put the GF off centre in the corner of the frame, what an amazing trip! We love watching staycation videos from lockdown.
Thank you for sharing all of these visits. The Grand Floridian is my dream vacation since I starting going to Disney in 1999… I am so glad that you had such a great time…I have eaten there many times and have never ever had anything but a amazing time there. Jackson is getting so big and so so smart
The song you're thinking about Tim is " I did it My Way"
Jenn we have the same crocs. I love crocs they are the most comfortable footwear. After watching the vlog I decided to treat myself with a new pair and even got some jibbitzs you guys might want to look in to getting some there super fun and they have Disney ones.
Love every video you guys make. ❤️
Tim you will be happy to know my hubs stresses on check out days too. We basically pack the night before and he still stresses. You are not alone. Jackson is cracking me up with the floor lay downs.. LoL
Jackson is so self-aware it's amazing he knew exactly what was going on in the room he didn't want to leave the room at all.
I can't wait to stay at the Grand Floridian in October! Thanks for sharing your trips! It would be the highlight of my trip to actually meet you guys and thank you in person for all you do for GKTW!
Great service is the best! I have stayed at a resort in Cancún Mexico a few times now called the Moon Palace. We have stayed at the moon palace grand twice now and it does not compare to other resorts in service, quality, and food. It is such a beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend!
What an ingenious idea with that frame and pin! I'm also clearly biased to how much I love that specific combo because B&TB is my fav! I really loved watching your staycation at GF. That's in my top 5 dream Disney resorts.
It’s been lovely to see your grand Floridian stay! Fireworks back yay! We got married in the wedding pavilion and had our reception at the grand Floridian & agree it was a wonderful hotel, with amazing food and service! Another great vid thank you! 😊
This was an awesome
staycation! Thanks for showing us around this beautiful resort definitely putting it on our bucket list 😎
1:22 anyone else hear “thank you daddy” from Jackson or am I just loosing it lol 😆 what a cute kid!
Great blog. Jen welcome to the crocks club ! Love our crocks. They do need to be broke in our you will get blisters, just like any new pair of shoes does. Thanks for all you both do to bring us great family blogs to watch. 💕👍🙋
Jen & Tim are such great parents! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I’ve seen a wall clock that says ‘I want to live in The Grand Floridian’ . You need this x
Check-out stress every time! Especially when you have a plane to catch! Great safari video! Best ever! Love your family ❤️
Thank you for your honesty Tim
Sounds like the cast members rocked it. That's hospitality. All about anticipating what your client wants before they even know they want it. Magical! Loved this vlog! Thanks, ya"ll!
Still so amused at that Mickey-less balloon. 🤣
We always pack the night before ,so as to avoid stressing out when we get up ! Loved Jackson on the carpet so cute 🥰! I love the water pageant, we’ve stayed at the Polynesian in 2019 and the firework on the beach was amazing ! I couldn’t get into the grand Floridian this year (dvc) so I’ll try next year after this vlog x x stay safe x x
We loved Grand Flo!!! By far our favorite of any we’ve stayed at thus far. We also stayed in the same building as y’all and had a great view !
Love u guys , in response of the service being amazing , they know who you are of course they are going to go a little extra in service
We stayed at the GF 2yrs ago in the main bldg. It was a 2 queen bed room. It was amazing. The room was very quiet unless the people in the hall were very loud. Our room view was the pool and garden areas and we never heard any outside noise. I guess the experience can be different for everyone. 😊
I feel like Jackson is trying to be apart of the show. When he says "And this" and shows us. He says talk about this daddy and Show them. Like yesterday he said "and this" while showing us he's using a big fork. So precious.
It’s not just a nice picture frame to commemorate your stay- it’s a lovely background story as well!
Jackson is sooooo stinkin’ cute! He reminds me of my 3 year old grandson.
It looks like you three had such a good time! Thank you for always sharing so much with us ❤
do a staycation at the Polynesian once it reopens! i’ll be working there as a houseperson on my DCP from now until January and i’m dying to meet you guys! 🥺
Loved everything about this grand Floridian stay!!! The lake, the boats, the food, Jackson, park visits….you guys hit it out of the park!
Jackson having his breakfast then lying on the floor saying I'm good 🤣he's so cute
I was specifically looking for a lost mentioning that. I totally heard him say "I'm good"
Great video!!!! Staycations are so cool!!! Especially your😀!. Jackson is so adorable and his reactions are just to cute
I’m never first!! I have loved this staycation! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Caleb found you 😄 a great work around for your picture frame situation...gets the pins at Disney,your cruise,etc...and your frames from Target...gonna borrow this hack on my upcoming vacay!
Yay! You got the shirt!! Great series, can't wait for the next staycation!!!
I’ve never commented before, but I just had to! My 8 year old daughter saw that shirt while you were shopping and said “is that food?! Oh yeah, that’s a shirt for Tim.” I thought it was funny, but then even better when I saw that you did in fact buy it! I love it. And I love your videos! ❤️
I stress out on time like that too, Tim. I also stress out when i have to be up/ready at a certain time for things - can't sleep all the night before, no matter HOW many alarms, I set - I still think I won't wake up for some stupid reason, so spend the whole night tossing/turning, looking to make sure what time it is. So - the anxiety is real, and shared, my friend. Enjoyed the time lapse sunrise, Tim, thanx! Cracked u0 to watch Jackson run headlong into the elevator when it came - good job! LOL . Neat that Wolfgang Puck's gave you that sample of the gelato! Never heard of July 4th being a big shopping holiday.
So cool that Caleb was so helpful! I've said before that I always find myself intimidated when I'm at the GF, but I know that's me, not the CM's there, who have always been gracious and helpful when I've been there. So - yes I get you Jenn, and very nice that you recognize that, and are appreciative of that - I'm sure the CM's love to be seen, validated, and thanked. I know I would. Nice shirt, Tim, it will look nice on you. Amazing that that room was the last one left, since all those are SO expensive! People must be doing LOTS of revenge travel!! Looking forward to staycaton and family vacation coming up, for sure!
Socially distanced hugs from New Jersey to the 3 of you. Stay strong, stay positive, stay health
We’ve always had amazing CM’s at the Grand Floridian. We love the resort and staff.
Hi, this was a great staycation. The Grand Floridian is so extravagant and I am glad I got to see what it's like staying there through y'all staycation. It's on my bucket list too. The view was spectacular, the water, Monarail and fireworks, Such a magical staycation. Enjoyed. Thanks for all the info too. Be Safe Take Care ❤️❤️❤️
We stayed at grand and because they knew you probably was a better stay for you. But for an average person like myself we were neglected and it wasn't as wonderful as I thought it was gonna be. 😔
What a great resort, always so impressed with all the Cast Members.
Jackson living the life i want..lol Love Jackson!!
