Reviews of Grand Floridian Resort:
If you can afford it, this is the ultimate in Disney World pampering. A luxury hotel by any standard, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort immerses you in turn-of-the-century storybook charm. You're so close to the Magic Kingdom, you can almost hear the dolls sing "It's a Small World." Situated on the Seven Seas lagoon, the restaurants, beaches and several of the rooms have views of Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain. Even so, the hotel maintains a quiet, relaxing feel that seems miles away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. Guests can enjoy high tea with Mary Poppins or spend the day in the world-class spa. The lobby alone is worth a look, with a soaring ceiling adorned with chandeliers, a grand piano, and beautiful holiday decorations that include a life-size gingerbread house.Have you stayed at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort?
