Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Overview

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is situated in the Magic Kingdom Resort area on the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon just a short monorail ride from Disney's Magic Kingdom. You can also reach the Magic Kingdom by boat or take the monorail to Epcot.

Themed on a turn of the century Victorian style luxury hotel, the flagship Grand Floridian has a lot to offer.

Take in the Grand Floridian's elegant Victorian decorated guestrooms, afternoon teas, fine restaurants and beautiful white sandy beach complete with cabanas as well as a number of swimming pools, spa (Jacuzzi/hot tub) and a health spa.

As soon as you step into the five storey high lobby with its beautiful stained glass domes, ornate chandeliers, potted palms and live music at a grand piano, you are whisked back in time to the opulence and splendor of a bygone era.
