Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is Walt Disney World’s signature resort, with Cinderella Castle rising across Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom only a monorail, boat ride, or walk away. Its familiar red gables, sweeping verandas, and waterfront setting create an unmistakable sense of arrival.

A stay here offers plenty of reasons to slow down between visits to the parks, whether that means an afternoon by the pool, time at the spa, or drinks before dinner. With Victoria & Albert’s, Cítricos, Narcoossee’s, and the Enchanted Rose, the Grand Floridian offers some of the most memorable evenings at Walt Disney World.

What sets the resort apart is the way convenience and experience come together. Families can remain close to the Magic Kingdom while enjoying beautiful surroundings, exceptional suites and Club Level accommodations, memorable dining, and the pleasure of returning each day to one of Walt Disney World’s most distinctive resorts.

Accommodations

Guest Rooms

Soft shades of blue, green, and white, along with understated Mary Poppins details, give guest rooms a bright, polished look that feels perfectly suited to the Grand Floridian. Thoughtful comforts include elevated beds with storage underneath, a sleeper sofa, a double-sink vanity, robes, a clothes steamer, a Keurig coffeemaker, and nightly turndown service.

Most rooms include a balcony, but the location and view can make a considerable difference. Resort View rooms may overlook the gardens, courtyard pool, or marina, while Water View rooms face Seven Seas Lagoon. A Theme Park View from an outer building does not always guarantee a clear view of Cinderella Castle; guests seeking a castle view should request Sago Cay or Conch Key. Top-floor rooms have vaulted ceilings but are slightly smaller, and their enclosed balconies generally require guests to stand to enjoy the view.

Cara’s Tip: Sago Cay offers one of the resort’s quietest settings and is removed from the pool activity, although it requires a longer walk to the main building. Sugarloaf is especially convenient to the main building and monorail.

Club Level Rooms and Suites

Accommodations on the concierge level vary from standard guest rooms to larger Deluxe Rooms and suites.

Club Level Theme Park View rooms in the Main Building all have a vista of the Castle.

Deluxe Rooms at 634 square feet, all located in the Main Building, offer a spacious sitting area within the guest room with a sleeper sofa, coffee table, two occasional chairs , and two queen-size beds (but never a Magic Kingdom view). The bath is a standard-size and there is also a vanity desk outside the bath. Three are on the 4th floor and three more on the 3rd floor (if you want a quieter location request the 3rd floor since 4th-floor rooms are found just off the lounge).

Deluxe King Rooms sleeping two are in the Main Building and are privy to the Royal Palm Club. These turreted rooms with 648 square feet offer a king bed, bay window sitting area with sofa and easy chair, entertainment armoire, wet bar, small walk-in closet, and oversized tub, but no balcony and only a few offering a semi-view of the Castle. There is also a second type of Deluxe King Room, standard size with 448 square feet, all located on the 2nd floor over Gasparilla Grill with a theme park view and balcony. Which you will receive is on request only.

The Royal Palm Club occupies the fourth floor of the main building, overlooking the Grand Lobby and offering views toward Seven Seas Lagoon and the resort courtyard. The lounge serves guests staying in the main building as well as guests in Club Level Access suites throughout the resort, regardless of the suite’s location.

Food and beverages are presented throughout the day, beginning with breakfast and continuing with midday refreshments, evening hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and late-evening cordials. Offerings typically include both hot and cold selections, choices for children, wine, beer, sparkling wine, soft drinks, and specialty coffee. Menus change, but the greatest appeal is the ease of stopping in for breakfast, enjoying refreshments during an afternoon resort break, or ending the evening with dessert and a drink overlooking the lobby.

Suites

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers an exceptional collection of one- and two-bedroom suites, along with a small number of individually designed Signature Suites. All suites include Club Level access, even when the suite is located outside the main building.

The four Signature Suites in the main building are the Grand Suite, Walt Disney Suite, Roy O. Disney Suite, and Victorian Suite. Each has a distinctive layout and character, and their limited number makes them some of the most exclusive accommodations at Walt Disney World.

Grand Suite. The Grand Suite offers 2,220 square feet of luxury from its fifth-floor perch. It features five dormer-style balconies with sweeping views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, Cinderella Castle, Space Mountain, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and even Spaceship Earth in the distance. A lengthy entry hall with a half bath leads to the sunny, turreted living room with light hardwood flooring and a crystal palm leaf chandelier. Furnishings include two shimmery chenille sofas. Centering the room is a large area rug and a round marble and gold coffee table. To the side of the sofas are two easy chairs fronting the oversized TV, and a cream chaise lounge is off in an alcove. The room’s dining table seats six, and nearby a bar features a sink, under-counter refrigerator, Nespresso machine, and Wolf drawer microwave. And there’s always a lovely floral arrangement in all the Signature Suites.

Off one side of the foyer is the primary bedroom. A four-poster king bed is angled to face a wall of steel blue built-ins, which also holds another oversized TV. The picture is complete with an easy chair and another balcony with views of Disney’s Polynesian Resort and The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, the wedding chapel, and the Beach Pool. The primary bathroom is a mix of white quartzite vanity and shower and gray mosaic tiled flooring with double sinks, a low-set oversized tub, and a separate toilet area. On the other side of the entry foyer is a second bedroom with two full-size beds, an easy chair, and a wall of steel blue built-ins holding the TV. In its bath are marble tile flooring, a single sink, an oversized marble shower, and a balcony with the suite’s best view of Cinderella Castle.

Grand Suite

The Grand Suite offers 2,220 square feet of space from its fifth-floor setting in the main building. Five dormer-style balconies reveal sweeping views of Seven Seas Lagoon, Cinderella Castle, Space Mountain, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and even Spaceship Earth in the distance. A wide marble entry hall with a guest half bath leads to the bright, turreted living room, where light hardwood flooring and a crystal palm-leaf chandelier set an elegant tone. Two shimmery chenille sofas, two occasional chairs, and a cream chaise surround a round marble-and-gold coffee table in front of an oversized television.

The dining table seats six, while the nearby wet bar includes a sink, an under-counter refrigerator, a Nespresso machine, and a Wolf microwave drawer. Fresh floral arrangements add a finishing touch found throughout the Grand Floridian’s Signature Suites. The primary bedroom features a four-poster king bed facing a wall of steel-blue built-ins with an oversized television, along with an occasional chair and a private balcony overlooking Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, and the Beach Pool. Its bathroom offers white quartzite surfaces, gray mosaic tile flooring, two sinks, an oversized tub, separate shower, and a private toilet area.

On the opposite side of the foyer, the second bedroom includes two full-size beds, an occasional chair, and its own wall of steel-blue built-ins with a television. The bathroom has a single sink and an oversized marble shower, while a private balcony provides the suite’s finest view of Cinderella Castle.

Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney Suites

The two Disney Suites are positioned one above the other in the main building, with one located on the fourth floor and the other directly below it on the third. A marble foyer opens into a comfortable living room with a patterned wood ceiling, wet bar, writing desk, sofa, two occasional chairs, coffee table, and dining table for six. A wall of built-ins houses the TV, and a guest half bath is located just off the foyer.

The primary bedroom includes a king bed, two easy chairs with ottomans, a built-in bureau with a television, and a large walk-in closet. Its white marble bathroom features gold fixtures, two sinks, a whirlpool tub, and a separate oversized shower. The second bedroom has two queen beds, an occasional chair, and a single-sink bathroom. A balcony extending nearly the length of the suite overlooks the courtyard pool, beach, and Seven Seas Lagoon, with views toward Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

One- and Two-Bedroom Club Level Suites

One- and two-bedroom suites are located in both the main building and the resort’s outer buildings, with views that may include the gardens, marina, lagoon, or Magic Kingdom. Theme Park View suites can be reserved as a specific view category, but they are located in the outer buildings. Every suite includes access to the Royal Palm Club, regardless of its location within the resort.

Cara’s Tip: Guests staying in a suite outside the main building still enjoy access to the Royal Palm Club in the main building. Consider the additional walk when deciding whether the larger suite or its particular view is worth the location.

With the exception of the Disney Suites, the main-building suites are located on the fifth floor and have dormer-style balconies. The sloping roofline and dormer construction make these suites somewhat smaller than comparable suites in the outer buildings, although the vaulted ceilings give them an open, distinctive character.

Main-building one-bedroom Club Level suites are approximately the size of two standard guest rooms and include an additional half bath. The living room features a gray chenille queen-size sleeper sofa, an occasional chair, a round marble coffee table, a credenza with an oversized television, and a wet bar with a sink, Nespresso machine, and under-counter refrigerator. One of the suite’s two balconies is located off the living area.

The bedroom includes two queen beds, an occasional chair, built-ins with a television, and the second balcony. The bathroom has two sinks and a combined tub and shower but does not have a separate toilet room. Hardwood flooring and area rugs continue throughout the living room and bedroom. Two-bedroom Club Level suites follow a similar layout, with the addition of a second bedroom with a king bed and another full bathroom.

Two-Bedroom Theme Park View Suites

At approximately 1,792 square feet, the two-bedroom Theme Park View suites offer direct views across Seven Seas Lagoon to Cinderella Castle. Only two exist: one in Conch Key and the other in Sago Cay. Both are located on the ground floor and feature oversized waterfront patios. For the quietest setting, request Sago Cay; the Conch Key suite is closer to Narcoossee’s and the boat launch.

Hardwood flooring and area rugs extend throughout the suite. The double-size living room is distinguished by a patterned wood ceiling and includes a gray chenille sofa, two occasional chairs, and a marble coffee table. The dining table seats six, and a leather-topped buffet provides additional storage and serving space. A guest half bath is located near the entry. The large wet bar seats four and includes white leather barstools, a sink, a Nespresso machine, a Wolf microwave drawer, and a larger under-counter refrigerator. A bedroom is positioned on each side of the living area. One has a four-poster king bed, an occasional chair with an ottoman, and generous built-in storage; the other has two queen beds and its own built-in bureau. Both bedrooms include a full bathroom and a small private patio. The suite accommodates up to six guests. View the Theme Park View Two-bedroom Suite on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube Channel!
