This resort is absolutely beautiful and so clean! They have the hardest working staff that I have ever seen. They were dusting the wrought iron fencing. The staff is extemely friendly and accommodating! This was literally the best experience I’ve ever had. It smells so good that I had to ask what scent that was lol then I bought candles and other items in the Basin on the 2nd floor. Make sure and wear comfortable shoes, it’s a huge resort. Read less

Although the grounds are beautiful I was dissapointed with my room here. We arrived very late on a Saturday night due to our flight being delayed several times. Upon opening our room door I didnt get the wow I was expecting from the reviews and price of this resort. My main complaint is the carpet. Our carpet was very stained and even had a wet spot on the floor which according to the smell on my sock I think it was coffee. I found a spider on my pillow one night. The toliet area was shared by the shower/tub combo and didnt allow much space. I noticed the carpet throughout the villa building had several stains as well. The resort is beautiful overall. I really enjoyed the cabanas at the slide pool, watching my girls at the adorable splash pad, and the conveince of the monorail and getting to Magic Kingdom. I really just wanted more at this price level and reputation. I wouldnt stay again due to the room size, condition, and not feeling comfortable enough in the room which is absolutely what you need after long days at the parks. Read less

My experience at the Grand Floridian was truly unforgettable. It is a magical hotel that transports you to another world. If you are looking for a place to stay in Walt Disney World that offers you luxury, elegance and first-class service, the Grand Floridian is the best option.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Grand Floridian! My family has been staying at the GF since I was a kid. The service is always top notch, anything we need they're so helpful. The food is amazing. Forever love the piano players in the lobby. They were doing remodeling for my most recent visit so that was a bummer but an understood must. The convenience of the Monorail, bus service, lagoon boat, all of it has that Disney extra magic touch that helps create the most amazing memories. It is pricey but I have always found the price worth the value, experience, bell hop, and amenities. Having the hotel tied into the Disney app makes the stay even smoother. Minimal to no time in the lobby was spent with our latest stay. They're even great with outside drop offs. We left a few things at home so we made an Amazon Grocery order and it was a smooth / efficient process. Read less

Me and my 2 children have just spent an amazing 14 nights here. I cannot fault a thing. Our room had a wonderful view of the the castle and lagoon. My children enjoyed the pools and the activities provided. I cannot understand some of the negative feedback. Yes the lobby area can get busy, but there is so many visitors that come to enjoy the gorgeous lobby at the Grand Floridan who maybe cannot afford to stay. If I could provide a little constructive feedback would be to have band access to the pool area like the Riveria resort to make it that more private. I noticed 4 young teens who were not staying at the hotel manage to get in and enjoy the pool for the day. Yes you cannot get food and drinks after 11pm but Uber eats delivers to the front lobby so if you do feel peckish this is an option. The enchanted rose is sophisticated and I enjoyed the island rose after a long day at the parks. The amentities in the room were second to none and all staff were pleasant and friendly after seeing our faces for 2 weeks they must of got used to us. I will be returning again for 2 weeks at the end of the year and cannot waiting to come back. Thank you Grand Floridan and staff for making our stay so specials. Special thanks to our housekeeper yrais she was amazing and our room was cleaned to an excellent standard every day. Even made towel animals every day my girls loved coming to the surprise every night. Thanks to Lawson in front desk he was lovely and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay Read less
