Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Posted on by

This is by far my favorite of all the Disney resorts. The Grand Floridian was inspired by the turn-of-the-century Victorian resorts of the Florida coast. It is complete with verandas, latticework, dormers, and turrets and will easily transport you back to a time when everything about vacationing was elegant. The five-story main building houses the Grand Lobby which is decorated in perfect Victorian furnishings. There is an open-cage elevator and the ceiling is decorated with stained-glass domes and glittering chandeliers. Outside is the Seven Seas Lagoon and a white sandy beach. If the lobby doesn’t transport you, the 900 guest … Continue reading →

The Grand Floridian – Why Should You Stay There?

The Grand Floridian is an experience I think that every Disney World visitor should have. My husband I stayed there during our honeymoon and I look forward to our next opportunity. But for now, let me tell you about the Grand Floridian. It’s a beautiful hotel and extremely clean. It’s right off the Monorail so you’re a one-hop stop away from the Magic Kingdom. You can also take the boat over if you want and both are great ways to arrive at the Magic Kingdom. The main building of the Grand Floridian is all about great service and beautiful entertainment. … Continue reading →

Four Seasons to Open at Disney World

I’ve always thought one couldn’t take a much more luxurious vacation than a Disney vacation, and if one stayed at a fancy hotel in the Disney parks, one could have everything one might possibly want. It’s probably because I’ve never stayed in anything close to a luxury hotel, but apparently none of the options are quite fancy enough. That’s the only reason I can think that Disney World’s letting an outside hotel chain into its premises, even if it is a Four Seasons. USA Today reports that the “ultraluxury” hotel chain has reached a deal with Disney World to build … Continue reading →

What’s All The Fuss at Victoria and Albert’s?

Posted on by

Victoria and Albert’s restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the finest dining experience there is at Walt Disney World. It is a small, intimate and elegant restaurant that has been recognized by the nation’s top food critics and has received a AAA five-diamond rating. This is not an every-day dining experience. It is a very special occasion (and extremely romantic) Victorian retreat. A harpist provides background music during your seven course meal, the restaurant itself is lavishly decorated, the menus are personalized, every lady receives a long-stemmed rose and every table is served by not one but … Continue reading →

This year, they’ve published their first ever Walt Disney World’s Insider Guide and named Epcot’s Soarin’ as the best overall attraction to visit. Having been on Soarin’, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Zagat on this. Soarin’ The Soarin’ attraction invites you to be strapped securely in your seats and then to experience the wonder of special effects and a screen that send you soaring across the countryside, beaches and mountains of California. … Continue reading →

My Disney Passion

Good morning, I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself here as it’s the first time I’ve gotten to write for the Disney (Unofficial) blog and though I am a lifelong fan and I’ve visited Disneyland and Disney World several times, I’ve rarely gotten the opportunity to share my passion for all things Disney outside the family. Disney Through the Years My first Disney World visit occurred at the age of 1, though I do not remember it, my love for all things Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck seems to have always been a part of my life. … Continue reading →
