The Crème de la crème of Walt Disney World

Tiffini HensleyDecember 24, 2015img6From the moment you enter the breathtaking atrium lobby filled with the sounds of a charming pianist to that last glimpse of the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is sure to have something for everyone.One of the best conveniences here is the transportation!  The monorail lets you arrive to the Magic Kingdom in less than five minutes, or if you’d rather take in the views of Seven Seas Lagoon, there are boat shuttles that will also take you to the Magic Kingdom. The monorail will also take you to Epcot, and there are convenient buses to transport you to other parks and Downtown Disney.img6_1 Many people say that the Grand Floridian is not a kid-friendly resort, but have you seen its pool?!  With two zero-depth entry pools and the Mad Hatter themed water play area, your kids will be begging for some time at the pool.While dad is hanging with the kids at the pool, it’s the perfect time for mom to grab a massage or mani/pedi at the on-site Senses Spa.After an afternoon at the pool or spa, get cleaned up in your luxurious accommodations with views from luscious gardens to the Magic Kingdom (great for watching fireworks from your room).  img6_2 If you want to go for the ultimate in luxury, be sure to book a club level room, which adds the advantages of nightly turndown service and entrance to the club level lounge, among other delights.  The lounge offers a continental breakfast in the morning, snacks throughout the day and hors d’oeuvres and cordials in the evening.If you’re still feeling hungry, that’s not a problem here with more than seven restaurants on-site.  The Grand Floridian is home to three fine dining restaurants, including the famed Victoria and Albert’s.  If you’re looking for something a little more casual, then the Grand Floridian Café has some great food and amazing desserts.  Try the dessert sampler - you won’t be disappointed.  If you are one of the many who wasn’t able to secure a Cinderella’s Royal Table reservation, then try dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Although it’s not quite the same, your little ones will still be able to brush elbows with Cinderella, Prince Charming and the evil stepmother and stepsisters, who are always good for a laugh. 0001Don’t forget to end the evening by watching a movie under the stars on the beach, all before viewing the electrical water pageant display shortly before the Wishes fireworks display can be seen across the Seven Seas Lagoon.Contact me at tiffini@wishesfamilytravel.com for more information about this beautiful resort, or for a free quote today!
