Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Out of all the Disney resorts, it’s definitely the nicest. It would be the equivalent of a 3 star resort anywhere else in the world. Rooms are spacious and newly refurbished, still pretty basic but very comfy and everything you need. Proximity to magic kingdom is what you are really paying for here. Guest services all really helpful (except if you ask them to book a non-Disney restaurant!) We enjoyed out stay but just don’t expect it to be like the four seasons despite the price being similar.

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.

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.

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.

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

We took our granddaughter to the hotel for lunch and had a wonderful experience. We ate in the Gand Floridian Cafe, and all three of us had delicious meals. The granddaughter and I had French toast and my wife had the salmon dish. We also spent time in the main lobby which is stunningly beautiful and walked on the grounds which were well manicured and contained numerous beds of red geraniums. A delightful experience, indeed!

There was plenty to like about GF, but one thing that is completely intolerable that makes the rest pale in comparison -- and is frankly baffling -- is the complete disregard for guest experience of those traveling with young children. We have two young kids, one of whom has a broken leg (and difficulty sleeping among other things), and we had to deal with explosions rocking our hotel room until 11:30 p.m. We were given no warning about the "occasional ticketed events" that involve late night fireworks displays that continue for a good 20 minutes in close proximity to the resort and make sleep impossible. No doubt someone paid an ungodly amount of money for it, as I'm sure there are many, many people with young children (or who happen to go to bed before midnight) who are very upset about these circumstances. At the very least we should have been notified before our stay. Completely unacceptable, particularly given the price of the accomodations.

Would never come back. I have never experienced this long of a wait for a hotel room in all my travels. The front desk was friendly, but they could not give us information about when our room would be ready. Absolutely ridiculous for a resort of this caliber and price. Over an hour and a half and counting while in the lobby starting at 3 PM. They knew we were arriving at 3 and didn’t warn us that we would have to wait over two hours. Oh then they sent us out into a thunderstorm without any directions of how to find out room or building we were in other than a map in the middle of the rain. Hopefully the rest of the stay improves enough to garner a second star, but I highly doubt it. The only saving grace is the beauty of the hotel and at least the staff was friendly enough.
