Early rising guests at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa can enjoy a cheery parade of over fifty parasol-toting housekeepers on Mondays and Fridays. The tradition began when the Resort first opened in 1988. The Housekeeping Team members gather at 8 a.m. at the marina and slowly stroll through the Victorian courtyard around the pool. What a charming way to start the day!
This morning, 5-year-old cousins and resort guests Eva Brackmann and Rachel Pinne had the honor of leading the colorful procession. Joseph Brackmann, 7, captures the special moment, sure to be a special one that will not soon be forgotten.

This is my daugher Eva in the picture. We were at Disney the same time as you Chip. Eva and Rachel were so thrilled to be asked to lead the parade. The hotel gave them the parasols to take home as a “thank you” for leading the parade. It was a wonderful Disney memory! My son had fun filming the girls.
Wow, there is just so much that goes on at Disney that I had no idea! Like this! Wow.
I just read about this, it looks so sweet. Something, I will have to schedule into my next visit.
