Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

マジックキングダムのシンデレラ城が、湖の対面に見られるお部屋で、ベランダから花火が観賞できて、ロケーションは最高でした😄

The iconic and timeless Victorian-style Grand Floridian Resort & Spa takes pride of place moments from the Magic Kingdom and on the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon. It's a beautiful, sedate and stunning home-from-home. With arguably some of the most fantastic views of Happily Ever After, and an elegant, relaxing theme, this really is a beautiful place to stay when visiting Walt Disney World. Arrival: We arrived as a resort-transfer guest from the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, the resort next door, after a rather bad experience, so our hopes were high for our final night in the USA. We arrived at the vehicle entrance and presented our Magic Band, but unfortunately it would not work (we'd shortly find out why at check in). Security waved us in after a quick name check, and we made our way to find a car parking space, of which there was plenty available. Much the same as at the Polynesian, Bell Services were ready to greet us as we exited our vehicle in front of the building entrance. They assisted us in lifting our luggage out of the boot (trunk) and onto a trolley. We were directed inside where we were greeted with a Cast Member to complete the check in process and, again, unfortunately our resort transfer had not yet been completed. It took a few minutes for the Cast Member to make a call and locate our booking, but once she had, the process was effortless. Just the addition of a credit card, a scan of a Magic Band and issue of a room key & map and we were on our way. We headed outside to give Bell Services our room number, and they informed us our luggage would be sent to the room shortly. Next we walked the shot distance to the car to park it before heading to the room on foot. Resort: The Grand Floridian is nothing short of stunning. It has an elegant, fresh and clean charm, and always (in my experience) a much calmer, sedate feel to it. Whilst there are children present, it definitely feels a much more adult space, which makes for a nice change from the rest of Disney World. With fountains, flowers and open greenery, with the most fantastic lake views, it's an incredibly relaxed resort to explore on those baking hot Floridian afternoons. The main atrium, at time of our visit, was under renovations, so the left hand side is, sadly, surrounded by a rather unsightly construction wall. It almost perfectly cuts through the middle of the open lobby space - a large, open, multi story central hub for the resort. With an ornate glass and metal elevator and the most wonderful piano music being played live by a Cast Member, in addition to that signature scent, this really does feel premium when you enter. Resort Studio - Theme Park View: We'd booked a Resort Studio - Theme Park View - as mentioned, this was a reservation transfer from the Island Tower due to our unsatisfactory experience the night before, so this was all handled by the Guest Experience Manager on the ground. We headed towards Building 9 - Big Pine Key, a m

I would rate it a 4 for normal hotel but for the money we spent my expectations should be higher. Place is beautiful and great location. Three issues and I am not going to list cost as we knew what we were getting into. Loss luggage for my daughter’s room. Pool closed and you have to manually check when it reopens. Garden pool has three flood lights that are run by noisy and gas smelling generators. These flood lights are not needed. Totally ruin the ambiance of the fire works and noise and smell is a turn off. For company that promotes green wasting gas like this is insane.
