“This resort is very overrated for what they’re charging. The lobby is beautiful. The service is wonderful. But the price that Disney charges for this hotel is absurd. The rooms are old, outdated, and musty. You’re basically paying to be near the magic kingdom and for “bragging” rights. I like the other resorts a lot better and genuinely do not see the hype. This resort is 34 years old now and the rooms are showing that they need some TLC. I wouldn’t stay here again. It’s fun to visit, but even the restaurants aren’t worth the price. They’ve gone downhill with the quality of the food. If you want to pay top dollar for an overpriced, musty, generic hotel room, enjoy! Maybe DVC members have a different experience?”

“The Grand Floridian Resort is in my opinion the best resort for a family stay at Walt Disney World. The resort has its own monorail stop accessible from the second floor of the resort. The first stop is the Magic Kingdom park which is across the lake from the resort. You can enjoy the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom and the parade on the lake from the resort. There is also a boat service from the Magic Kingdom to the resort. The bus stop at the resort makes it easy to get to the other parks. I always enjoy my stay at the Grand Floridian. There are great restaurants at the resort including a type of convenience store. There is a nice walkway along the lake connecting the resort to the Magic Kingdom and the Polynesian Resort. The resort itself are very clean and well kept. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The Grand Floridian Resort offers a relaxing, family friendly atmosphere with the convenience of being moments away from the Disney parks and attractions. Bottom line, is this is by far my preferred resort!”
