DISNEY GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT
A grand hotel with gabled roofs and Victorian balustrades
typical of the fabled Florida beach resorts of the 19th
century is among Walt Disney World's themed resort
adventures.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, nestled on the
picturesque shores of Seven Seas Lagoon between
Magic Kingdom and Disney's Polynesian Resort,
welcomed its first modern-day time-travelers in mid-1988.
The 867-room hotel featuring complete resort facilities
recalls the days when John D. Rockefeller, Thomas
Edison and even President Theodore Roosevelt led the
annual winter pilgrimage to the land of friendly sunshine,
where rowboats and palm fans replaced snow shoes and
pot-belly stoves. Canary palms, southern magnolias and
richly colored gardens complete the historic theme.
Often referred to as "the jewel in the crown" of Disney's
Vacation Kingdom, the Grand Floridian also may be the
first resort of its kind since the golden era of Henry M.
Flagler and Henry Plant. But this time, it has all the
advantages of 21st century living -- including monorail
service that stops right beside the 19th century Grand
Lobby.
Complementing the guest accommodations are
restaurants, lounges, snack bars, an arcade, a
Mouseketeer Club child-care facility, shopping, swimming
pools, children's playground, marina, beauty salon and
10,000-square-foot spa and health club. The luxurious,
full-service spa offers an array of fitness and beauty
treatments from aromatherapy body wraps to citrus zest
messages.
Like Disney's other resorts, the Grand Floridian has a
distinctive theme that carries through architecture,
landscape, furnishings and costumes.
The style of the buildings is reminiscent of the Victorian
era but is more playful and relaxed -- embellished by
intricate lattice work and balustrades and 120 miles of
scrolls, turnposts and curved moldings. Snow-white
towers and red-shingle roofs make a dramatic first
impression on guests.
The resort accommodations are among the most
luxurious on Disney property. The club-level and suite
rooms with private elevator access in the 225,000-square-
foot Sugar Loaf Key building include in-room facilities
such as a wet bar and lavish decor. One of the resort's
five lodge buildings also features personal concierge
service.
In the main building, the third-floor concierge lobby
includes three concierge desks designed to provide
personalized services such as check-in/check-out,
reservations, information, etc. The fourth-floor concierge
lobby includes a quiet seating area where guests can
enjoy, at no additional charge, continental breakfasts and
evening cocktails. The fifth-floor suite lobby features a
bookcase filled with a wide variety of reading materials.
Throughout the hotel, guestroom decor, as it did a
century ago, enhances the atmosphere of a refuge from
harsh winters and the hectic big-city pace. Features
include soft, spring-like colors and printed wall coverings,
armoires and other furnishings in light woods, marble-top
sinks with old-fashion fittings, and Victorian woodwork.
Most rooms include two queen-size beds plus a day bed.
Suites include a parlor plus one to three bedrooms.
An open-cage elevator, aviary, palms and ferns set the
mood in the sitting area of the Grand Lobby, which
reaches five stories to a Victorian ceiling adorned with
three illuminated stained-glass domes, ornate chandeliers
and metal scrolls.
Shops carry on the theme in displays featuring turn-of-
the-century toys and clothing.
Dining opportunities at the Grand Floridian are diverse
-- from pizzas and sandwiches at Gasparilla Grill and
Games to intimate, candlelight, gourmet dinners at
Victoria & Albert's, with elegant service fit for royalty. The
largest restaurant is Cítricos featuring sun-drenched
Provenal colors and an open-air kitchen. 1900 Park Fare
hosts character dining at breakfast and dinner plus the
popular Wonderland Tea Party. Grand Floridian Cafe
serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. My Disney Girl’s
Perfectly Princess Tea Party is offered daily in Garden
View Lounge.
All major dining locations are in the main building except
Narcoosee's, a seafood restaurant on a romantic
shoreline location. Octagon-shaped and open-beamed,
Narcoosee's features a show kitchen where cooks broil,
steam, saut} and smoke the catches of the day.
Hotel recreation is water-oriented -- white sand beaches
on Seven Seas Lagoon, a marina with rental craft and a
children's playground. Beach Pool offers guests a natural
springs setting complete with a waterfall flowing from a 27-
foot-tall stone mountain. For the most lavish water
experience, the Grand 1 offers a pampered VIP boating
experience on Seven Seas Lagoon overlooking Magic
Kingdom. The 52-foot Sea Ray yacht sails on morning,
afternoon or evening excursions, featuring a fireworks
display above Magic Kingdom on select evenings. For the
ultimate cruise, private butler service and on-board
gourmet dining is available.
A full-service spa and health club pampers guests with a
variety of personalized treatments including massage
therapy, body treatments, facials, manicures and
pedicures. Men's and women's sauna, steam room,
whirlpool and workout room round out the amenities.
Reservations can be arranged through the Walt Disney
World Central Reservations Office: 407/W-DISNEY, a
local travel agent, or at www.disneyworld.com.
