GF Monogrammed Robes About This Page:

[SuperNemo]

Hi everybody!

I have a few questions. I'm sure it's been asked before, but I'll ask again!

I'm staying at the GF next May. When I was in DW last year, I decided to tour most of the resorts. When I was in the GF gift shop, they offered monogrammed robes. I think they were like $150 each, or something to that extent.

Here are my questions about those robes:

- Has anyone acquired these on their vacation? Was it worth the price tag?

- Does anyone know if you can order these robes prior to arriving for the vacation? I was interested in having the robes ready for arrival (or as close to as possible).

- If I needed to wash the robes while down there (after a few days of getting in and out of the pool!), would those count as the individual dry cleaning items most resorts clean for a fee based on the garment?

Once again, thanks for all the assistance!

When we went to CBR I had called ahead to make personalized name tags for all of us, and they were ready and waiting in the gift shop. I am sure that personalized robes would be the same thing ,just give them plenty of time to get them ready. The CM that I ordered though told me about picking them up at the resort to save on shipping.

Your room will have two adult size robes to use while on your vacation.
I'm not sure about pre-ordering, but I would order your souvenier robes when you get there, since you'll have something available to you during your trip.

$150 for a robe?

Yeah, I know, seriously! I think it's a nifty idea, but I am pretty sure that was the price tag. Hence why I asked. I have heard of really nice robes, but I don't want some generic overpriced deal! You had the same reaction I did!

And for everyone else, thanks again for your time and advice! It is greatly appreciated!!!

They are a little pricey, but then everything is at WDW!

The robes we had in our room were not the thick plush ones, they were the ones I believe made out of a less plush waffle-weave fabric. I believe I saw some very very nice robes in one of the shops, I think those are the ones to which you are referring.

They are comfy snuggy looking. I think they are top quality, and if you can afford $150 for each robe, then I say do it!

As far as cleaning services go, yes, the GF will wash those for you, and yes, they will charge you for that service. Dry cleaning and laundry services are not inexpensive, though. You will definitely pay a small fortune for the service.
