Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

這家酒店非常好，離MK最近，酒店二層直接可以乘坐小火車一站就到MK，晚上從MK出來乘坐火車的人特別特別特別多，這時候就可以到2號碼頭乘坐遊船回酒店。來奧蘭多迪士尼全程衹需要住一家酒店就好，完全不用換酒店（別問我是怎麼知道的）。這家酒店有遊船、火車、巴士可選擇，還可以用UBER，很方便的。 酒店房間很大，衞生很好，有手持花灑，不是那種掛牆式摘不下來的，也方便。 酒店餐廳21:00準時關門，我們回來晚了，晚飯沒吃成，啃了半袋餅乾，想回酒店吃晚餐的話，要安排好時間。

My husband, great niece & I spent a wonderful week in a Deluxe Club Level Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We were celebrating my 70th birthday & our 10 year old great niece’s first visit to Disney World. We had a large, recently refurbished room on the fourth floor near the Royal Palm Club lounge. This trip was a dream come true for us & an absolute splurge. Our last visit to Disney World was 30 years ago when we took our then 13 year old niece (now the mother of our great niece)! Given that we’re a lot older & have a few health challenges we didn’t have in 1994, we decided to design our trip to make it as easy as possible to spend our energy on enjoying our time there & as little as possible on logistics in coming & going from the parks, getting breakfast, etc. We also wanted to enjoy the beautiful gingerbread house & holiday decor at the Grand Floridian. As such, my criteria for value in planning this trip was on making choices to help make our dreams come true as opposed to focusing on cost. My niece & I are Disney enthusiasts who utilize our Magic Key Cards to visit Disneyland frequently. We were incredibly excited to visit Disney World together! I initially booked a non-discounted package through The Walt Disney Travel Company & rebooked a few months later when a promotional rate was offered that reduced the room rate & upgraded tickets to Park Hoppers. While it was still expensive, this made a nice difference. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted in the lobby & taken to the Club level check in on the third floor. There was no wait & we were given a delicious alcohol free punch to enjoy. We were taken to our room- #4422, which I had requested for its proximity to the lounge & its beautiful view of the hotel grounds, lagoon & the Magic Kingdom in the distance. It was perfect for us - spacious, beautifully decorated in a whimsically elegant Mary Poppins theme, had 2 queen beds & a sofa, a large nicely appointed bathroom, a balcony that had a beautiful view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks & super convenient lounge access. It was our very happy home for the next week! The twice daily housekeeping service kept our room clean and well stocked with fresh towels. The concierge staff was helpful, professional & friendly. One thing that’s important to know about the concierge at Disney properties is that while they’ll help with suggestions, directions & whatever they can help with- they can’t get reservations that aren’t available through the Disney World online reservation system. The only way to get reservations for very popular restaurants & events is for the guest or private Disney World travel specialists that can be engaged to handle the arrangements, to make reservations as they become available. That’s 60 days out for most things - dining, tours, etc., but not everything. For example, we wanted to get tickets for a holiday Candlelight Processional dinner package which includes dinner & seating for the

J’ai eu la chance de fréquenter le GF plusieurs fois avec mes propres parents dans les années 80-90. J’en gardais un souvenir émerveillé. Cette fois je suis revenue avec mon mari et mes enfants. C’était encore bien mieux que ce dont je me souvenais. Les jardins sont de toute beauté. Des palmiers s’inclinent doucement sous la brise, les pelouses sont immaculées, les fleurs délicates. Notre chambre (récemment rénovée comme tout le reste du resort me semble t’il) avait une terrasse avec vue sur le lac des Seven Seas. On voyait le feu d’artifice du Magic Kingdom chaque soir. Et le lever de soleil du matin était un spectacle que je qualifierais d’émouvant. Aucune file pour le Check-in; des renseignements utiles et personnalisés livrés par une cast member charmante. Tous les soirs à 17h des marshmallows autour d’un feu de camp sont fournis au bord du lac. Il y a aussi des dessins animés diffusés en plein air certains soirs. L’ambiance est élevée et tranquille malgré la joie des familles qui partent ou reviennent de l’exploration des parcs. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les options saines au menu chez Gasparilla’s. Les autres restaurants paraissaient agréables également mais nous ne les avons pas visités. Dans tous les cas, il règne une ambiance unique au Grand Floridian qui doit beaucoup à l’architecture victorienne majestueuse des bâtiments entre autres. C’est un décor tout simplement sublime. Je ne connais rien d’aussi beau. J’espère de tout cœur pouvoir y retourner un jour.
