Dining

The Grand Floridian has a number of good restaurants including formal dinner at the award-winning Victoria and Albert's (dress code applies), high teas in the Garden View Lounge, Mediterranean style dining at Citricos and fresh seafood at Narcoossee's overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon.

There is also a character buffet at 1900 Park Fare where you may get to meet a host of Disney characters including Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore.

For casual dining, there is the Grand Floridian Cafe where you can enjoy lunch or dinner with salads, soups, steak and fresh seafood or if you just need a quick snack, there is the Gasparilla Grill & Games quick service restaurant for food and video games including pastries, salads, grilled chicken sandwiches, pizza and hamburgers.

Not unsurprisingly, prices are high at all the restaurants.

Recreation

The Grand Floridian has a zero-depth entry Beach Pool with waterfalls as well as a quiet pool in the courtyard and a kiddie pool or you can just relax on the white-sand beach.

Like the other deluxe resorts, there is a Grand Floridian Spa & Health Club.

If you are feeling energetic, then you can go for a jog on the scenic one-mile jogging trail to Disney's Polynesian Resort or play tennis on the clay courts (you need to bring your own equipment). You can also get tennis lessions at the Grand Floridian Tennis Center.

Watercraft rental including pontoon boats, cannopy boats or Sea Raycers by Sea Ray® or you can even charter the Grand 1, the Grand Floridian's Sea Ray Yacht.

Children are well catered for (literally) with Grand Adventures in Cooking where they get to decorate their very own chef's hat and make tasty treats (4 to 10 year olds), the Wonderland Tea Party where you can join Alice and her friends for lunch (3 to 10 year olds) or Disney's Pirate Adventure where you set sail in search of buried treasure (4 to 10 year olds).

Parents can also have a night out and leave the children at the Mouseketeer Club where the kids are entertained all evening including supervised activities, computer games, Disney movies, dinner and snacks (4 to 12 year olds).

Arcade games are available at Gasparilla's Grill & Games.

One of the attractions of the Grand Floridian is that you can see the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from some of the balconies or restaurants. Failing that you can also watch them from the beach or the boat dock and see the nightly Electrical Water Pageant on the Seven Seas Lagoon.
