This is it. You’ve arrived. The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is Disney’s flagship hotel, and it shows. It’s elegant, it’s refined- and it’s also fun! Outside, the resort is all turrets and gabled roofs. Inside, its Grand Lobby is five levels high, with sunlit domes built into the ceiling- wow! An open-cage elevator takes you in style to shopping and dining venues. The on-site full service spa pampers guests with a wide range of services. The Grand Floridian Orchestra entertains in the Grand Lobby, or maybe there’s a pianist, in the tux, playing the grand piano. This may sound stuffy, but in fact, the musicians, as well as all the cast members at the Grand Floridian, make this resort a perfect place for kids (of all ages) to have a luxurious and memorable vacation.
The Grand Floridian, like all Disney resorts, is smoke-free. Designated outdoor smoking areas are indicated on the Resort Map.

From Our MouseForLess Members:
MouseForLess Interesting Facts about the resort:
This resort was opened with a special concert from the Beach Boys with the song Kokomo in 1988. It has the only 5 Diamond Restaurant in Florida. At Holiday time they build a Gingerbread Store (made out of real gingerbread) and sell homemade cookies from their kitchen in it. - Marie Lemmon
The hotel's design is based on the Hotel del Coronado in California, where the movie "Some Like it Hot" was filmed. There are hidden Mickeys in on the back of the piano in the main lobby, on the weather vanes on top of the roof, in the woodwork around the storage area on the trolleys used to transport luggage, and on the lute in Victoria & Albert's. - Beth McMeekin
MouseForLess Room Request Tips:
I stayed in Boca Chica with a view of the pool from our balcony. - Marie Lemmon
"Garden View" rooms overlook the gardens at the Grand Floridian, while the "Lagoon View" rooms have a view of (what else) the Seven Seas Lagoon (Some, not all, lagoon view rooms offer views of the Magic Kingdom, its nightly fireworks shows, and the electric water parade that takes place in the Seven Seas Lagoon. The Boca Chica building has the best Magic Kingdom views). There are also rooms with a view of the pool/marina and courtyard. Concierge rooms are available both in the main building and in Sugar Loaf Key. - Beth McMeekin
We stayed in a beautiful room overlooking MK and the view was spectacular. We stayed up until about 3:00 am just watching the lights change color as they lit up the castle. - Mary Mahnke
MouseForLess Hidden Treasures:
The piano player in the lobby and the birdcage as well as the glass elevator. We took a cruise off the pier at GF in a pontoon boat and watched Wishes from the lake. - Marie Lemmon
The Grand Floridian Cafe' is definitely a hidden gem. Most people know the character breakfast at the 1900 Park Fare, but the Grand Floridian Cafe is a great spot for an excellent breakfast as well. Sandy Cove gift shop on the lower level of the main building is a great spot for magazines, books, newspapers and artwork featuring the Grand Floridian. You can buy prints framed or unframed. A jazz band plays nightly in the main building of the hotel, and there is a pianist playing in the lobby during the day. - Beth McMeekin
The walk from the GF hotel to the Wedding Chapel is a nice walk and you could very well see a wedding in progress on the way! We saw a bride and her father leaving the hotel in horse and carriage with "footmen" etc. Talk about a Disney fairy tale wedding! nother hidden gem - the Mai Tai at the pool bar!? I am a big Mai Tai fan and had one of the best Mai Tai's ever at the GF pool bar.- Mary Mahnke
MouseForLess Tips for Romance:
In my opinion, romance is what this hotel specializes in. Walks along the property to the weddubg chapel, along the beach, massages for two at the spa, dinner at Narcoosee's, firework spectacular from the deck by Narcoosee's with the music piped in, great view of the water parade from the beach, drinks on your balcony overlooking the MK fireworks or just sitting on your deck at night, admiring the castle changing colors in silence, this hotel to me, is the epitome of romance. - Mary Mahnke
Book a couples massage at the Grand Floridian Spa. The Grand 1 yacht is also available for rent by the hour. - Beth McMeekin
MouseForLess Tips for Families:
If you have little girls let them go to Alice's Tea Party. - Marie Lemmon
Gasparilla Grill & Games is the Grand Floridian's food court/arcade. There are tables inside and a few outside that overlook the marina (watch out for those seagulls!) and it's open 24 hours a day! Book an outing on a pontoon boat and take the family for a sail around the Seven Seas Lagoon. Sea Raycer boats are available for rent as well. Take an afternoon off from the parks and go swimming at one of the Grand Floridian's 2 pools. - Beth McMeekin
MouseForLess Tips for Large Travel Groups:
Book a fishing trip by calling 407-WDW-BASS up to 90 days in advance (reservations have to be made at least 24 hours before your trip). Take a pontoon out on Seven Seas Lagoon (pontoons accommodate up to 10 people). - Beth McMeekin
Transportation is awesome. Large travel groups don't need any additional transportation other than that provided by Disney. With all of the restaurants located on GF property or those on the monorail line, you are conveniently located to many restaurant options in every price range. - Mary Mahnke
MouseForLess Tips for Guests with Special needs:
I was in a wheelchair at the time of my stay and had no problem being on the second floor there was plenty of room for 5 of us to stay with a wheelchair in the room. - Marie Lemmon
There are handicapped-accessible rooms with roll-in showers at the Grand Floridian. - Beth McMeekin
MouseForLess Tips for WDW Newbies:
The monorail is the fastest way to get to the Magic Kingdom from the Grand Floridian. To reach EPCOT, board the monorail and get off at the Transportation & Ticket Center, where you can board another monorail bound for EPCOT. To get to MGM and Animal Kingdom, the bus is the fastest mode of transportation. The bus stop is outside of the main building on the first floor, near check-in. - Beth McMeekin
Take time to enjoy breakfast at Gasparilla's and take your food out to the tables outside which over look the water. - Mary Mahnke
MouseForLess Tips for Budget Travelers:
This resort is not for budget travelers, but you're looking for ways to cut cost, eat in either 1900 Park Fare or The Floridian Cafe. Prices at both of these restaurants are reasonable. - Marie Lemmon
Consider becoming an Annual Passholder for possible room discounts (no discounts are guaranteed, so make sure you weigh the costs of the Annual Pass vs. regular tickets). - Beth McMeekin
MouseForLess Tips for Luxury Travelers:
Eat dinner at Victoria & Alberts for an unforgettable meal and evening. - Marie Lemmon
You can't beat a suite or a room on the concierge level of the main building. For ultra privacy, try a honeymoon suite or a jacuzzi suite, which are located in the main building on the concierge levels. There is food available throughout the day and the concierges can handle all of your needs, including booking dining reservations for you. - Beth McMeekin
