The rooms are very spacious and are located within six different buildings on the property. This resort has beautiful beaches, located right on the Seven Seas Lagoon. It is also the site of many weddings at Disney and is a wonderful resort to stay at when you want luxury, convenience, and class combined with Disney magic.
This resort has a variety of rooms. They range in one king, two queens, or two queens and a junior day bed. This resort boasts little extras, like turn down service and chocolates on your pillow. Our Mousekeeper even filled our ice bucket for us so we had some waiting for us after a long hot day at the parks. You can’t go wrong with any view while at Disney’s Grand Floridian. You’ll overlook one of the pools, the Seven Seas Lagoon, or maybe even Cinderella’s Castle. You can watch a movie on the beach, take in Wishes from the boat dock, or enjoy the Electrical Water Pageant from this resort.
