Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Stayed for 4 nights during our trip to Orlando. Worth every penny, we absolutely loved it. Can walk to Magic Kingdom from here, or take boat or monorail, we tended to walk. We stayed in dvc studios with a lagoon view and the room was great. Beautiful resort and we will be back.

The hotel service was awesome and you can go and do whatever you want throughout the day. I would be fine staying in the room. Best room ever. Great service and So clean. The pools were nice and The vibe was so chill and I loved it. It is nice and walkable. It only takes 12 to 15 minutes to walk to Magic Kingdom.

Grand Floridian Hotel is lovely checking in was fine bell boy took cases out car then that’s when it went all wrong after a nine hour flight we were looking to get showered and go out but our cases were not brought to our room till 11.30 pm 5 hours after we had checked in we tried call bell services from our phone option 2 several times to be cut off called reception who was nice and transferred me across to bell service to be on hold for 8 minutes to then be cut off when I went to bell services in lobby took him nearly 10 minutes to locate the cases to be told bell boy will bring them over some 20 minutes later waste of an evening and not a great start to our holiday

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Grand Floridian. My wife and I stayed at the Grand Floridian for a 5 day/4night stay in celebration of my wife's birthday from September 15-19th. I had reserved a theme park view room and added the preference of a higher floor. At the time, only two queen beds were available, but we were offered a King bed on arrival by the wonderful person at check-in. I wish I could remember his name, but he also ensured that my wife had a personalized birthday tag/button. We had arrived at 2pm and our room was ready early. The Bellman Pierre, provided us with a guided tour as we drove to our room. We were greeted with the most beautiful room we have ever stayed at on Disney property, complete with a personalized message on the television addressing my wife's birthday and enchanting background music. The room faced the Seven Seas Lagoon, Cinderella's castle and also a view of both the Polynesian and Contemporary resort. This was on the fourth floor and had a dormer balcony with a small table and seating for two. Very romantic. We spent two of the nights watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks right from our balcony while the soundtrack for the fireworks played on one of the higher TV channels. On one of the nights, we also watched the boat parade on the Lagoon as the full moon rose above the resort. Simply perfection. The first night we ate at Citricos, our server was Dan and he was great. The food was amazing and probably some of the best we have ever had on Disney property. Compliments to the chef. All of the staff in the restaurant were fantastic, and a special thank you to the lovely lady who got us a table by the window. During our stay, we also frequented the Enchanted Rose and again were met with incredible service. A special shout out to Matthew who made the experience special and his wine and drink suggestions were perfect. As for the room itself, it was impeccably clean and housekeeping did a fantastic job refreshing our room daily. Everyone we encountered at the hotel was pleasant and helpful including the front desk staff, photographer, the wonderful piano music, the greeters and Bell captain, and the staff at the pool bar where we had lunch. Great turkey sandwich. On the last night, our room was sprinkled with "pixie dust" and we arrived to our room from a long day at the park only to be greeted with a very special birthday surprise from someone at the hotel who had noted that it was my wife's birthday. This was totally unexpected and was the best thing that has ever happened in over thirty years of visiting Walt Disney World. Checkout was smooth, and the hotel held our bags while we had a final day at the park. Thank you Mohammed and Omar from bell services. Parking was easily accessible and we had a great experience from all forms of transportation during our stay (monorail, buses and boats). I would highly recommend the short walk to the Magic Kingdom on the well lit path from the hotel. My wife and I are annual

We booked a theme park view room, and it did not disappoint. From arriving, to bell desk, to front desk, everybody was very polite and friendly. Even the people working on the golf buggies around property said hello. The hotel was nicer than I anticipated, and was pleasantly surprised. The room wasn’t the biggest but did us for what we needed, the sofa bed was ideal for the toddler. Fridge was handy to keep some drinks in. Room was very quiet, we didn’t get disturbed at all. The pool area was nice. The view of the fireworks was fantastic, and perfect for us with a toddler as he could watch the fireworks with us, then go straight to bed without the long wait getting out of the park. We would 100% recommend the Grand Floridian and will stay here again in the future.

Tripadvisor needs better rating options - between average and very good. It's a beautiful property what I would say it sports understated elegance; quite charming in that respect. All the public areas are finely manicured right down to fresh cut flowers. But if white isn't your color of choice , best to avoid this hotel as it's basically all pastels and white mixed in with the Mary Poppins theme. And your wallet will be a bit emptier as rooms and services are quite expensive---- If you do opt to take the plunge as this is a Magic Kingdom hotel - ask for a Magic Kingdom view. It really was breathtaking at night -- the fireworks over the water, the Kingdoms monorail, steam train, electric light parade-- all so fun to look at day or night from your balcony. The room we had slept 5 although it was tight--it was redone just enough to be current but not spacious. Worth the tall bucks?? I'd feel better if it was a bit less expensive. But monorail access is a bonus. The pool areas were beautiful with their zero depth entries-- and a kids pirate ship to boot! Enjoy the ambiance but know that Mary Poppins needs a big spoonful of $ugar to rest your bones here.

Magia en estado puro, dejar tiempo dentro de esta locura de viaje es imprescindible para disfrutar del hotel Muchos pros y algunos peros empezó por lo malo para terminar con buen sabor de boca Personal de recepción no se esfuerza mucho en explicarte la cantidad de actividades disponibles q tuvimos q ir descubriendo Check out llevamos las maletas cargando porque eran las 6 de madrugada habíamos llamado tres veces el día anterior Medidas de seguridad muy escasas en el acceso de control de huéspedes el hotel no te da indentificacion alguna y deja pasear a todo el mundo solo hay control para acceso tren y llegada de barco en el parque nada más para un país como EEUU y la calidad del hotel deben mejorar mucho la seguridad del hotel El resto excepcional limpieza habitaciones y calidad de restaurantes recomendaciones : Reservar desayuno con Personajes Reservar barco pequeño para ver los fuegos desde el agua Hay desayuno disponible más rápido y menos costoso Reservar cena en el embarcadero a la hora de ver los fuegos 21h ( no ir al magic se forman grandes masas de gente saliendo de los fuegos y se ve precioso en el hotel)

Depois de 16 anos, voltei ao Grand Floridian com minha família, o mais impressionante como a facilidade faz. Em Miami, verifiquei se tinha vagas para hotel e consegui via Horas Mágicas (agradeço ao pessoal da cia) e passaram o passo-a-passo de como ir para Hotel, fizemos a viagem para Orlando e toda comunicação estava sendo enviada como notificação para meu celular. Chegando o segurança muito prestativo comentou que minha reserva estava confirmada, porém o quarto não estava pronto, nisso estacionei meu carro no estacionamento e fomos ao Magic Kingdom, com uma simples mensagem liberaram o quarto, para um breve descanso do parque fomos ao quarto e estava PERFEITO!!! Minha esposa ficou encantada, deixamos as malas relaxamos um pouco e voltamos ao parque até o final. Voltando fomos ao Gasparilla para comer antes de dormir, não gostamos porque a comida não estava legal... Dormimos e no dia seguinte fomos para café da manhã que estava perfeito!!! Resumo de tudo: Mesmo pagando caro, vá porque a conveniência vale a pena ao final do valor.

Stayed with my three teenage children for 4 nights this July and loved it. The Grand Floridian is my happy place where everyone is pleasant both staff and guests, the location is fantastic, and the rooms and grounds are beautiful. From the the exquisite meal we had at Victoria and Alberts to the very good quick service meals at Gasparillas, we were very satisfied. The cast members at the front desk are very knowledgable and helpful concerning the Disney parks' sometimes complex booking system. It is like going to an Apple store for your computer question! I love the fact that if they happen not know the answer immediately they will find someone who does. BTW we self parked and never had an issue with finding parking or with the courtesy of the cast members based on our parking preference. I have had the privilege of travelling around the world and staying in luxury resorts but the Grand Floridian in my mind will always be the very best among them and my forever Happy Place.
