Disney's Grand Floridian Resort

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Last edited by j shipley
Considered Disney World's top hotel, this Victorian-themed hotel's look was inspired by the historic Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. The Grand Floridian offers a white-sand beach, a four-star restaurant (Victoria & Albert's) and monorail access to the Magic Kingdom.

This was our first on-property hotel stay, and it was absolutely lovely. The Grand Floridian is gorgeous and it exudes elegance. I would highly recommend this hotel for honeymooners or those traveling without children. While all Disney properties are family friendly, the GF has a touch of a "you better not touch anything" feel. I would stay there again when the children are MUCH older or if we were traveling just as a couple. Pools are lovely, and you can see the fireworks (from the Magic Kingdom). We also had the chance to see the Electrical Water Parade from our balcony..which was a treat. Wonderful gift shop. - April Brilliant

Excellent Hotel. Elegant surroundings , monorail access and a good choice of restaurants. It's proximity to all that Magic Kingdom has to offer including views of the fireworks across the lake. Magical. - Rob P

Fine resort with fine dining. There is lots to do and see here! - Anthony Murphy

This is a first rate hotel with excellant staff and accomodations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but Universal's hotel keys act as automatic express passes for the rides. Disney can't do this because it has too many hotels but it should consider it for those staying at the Grand Floridean. - jim mclaughlin
