we stayed at 3br grand villa (dvc points) for our daughters wedding. it was perfect. we were able to host guests watch the eagles win! and have food in the room for our guests to stop by and relax. The room was mag! and we were able to host fireworks "party".

if you are having a wedding consider this option- also the wedding was great!

Pros:

it was perfect!

Cons:

a lot of points but... Also we are now spoiled

LOVED THIS RESORT!!!!!!!!! It was my family of 5’s first time staying here. We decided it would be convenient transportation-wise. The grounds are GORGEOUS! We got a lagoon view and we’re advised to call the front desk a month before our stay to request a partial view of the theme park! WE GOT SUCH A GOOD VIEW OF THE FIREWORKS AND WATER PARADE!! We are Florida residents and got 30% which was AMAZING! Such friendly service and clean rooms! Feels so magical and I was sad to be leaving this resort! Please stay here on your next trip!!

Pros:

Friendly service Clean Beautiful Gorgeous pools Great dining Very magical Wonderful views Great transportation!

Cons:

NONE

Stayed at GF last November as a treat to ourselves.....major once in a lifetime treat. This resort is phenomenal - especially at Christmas time. You cannot believe the decorations and don't get me started on the gingerbread house. But what was incredible was the view from our balcony. We were there several nights and NEVER turned the TV on once. I spent every spare minute on that balcony watching the boats go by, monorails cruise along, the water pageant and those magical fireworks. Every morning I would get up early with a cup of coffee and listen to the Magic Kingdom come alive. Every night I would stay out there until I couldn't keep my eyes open any more to watch the fireworks and the lights. It was pure Disney Magic....and worth every penny...

Pros:

The atmosphere....and that VIEW !

Cons:

Cha....ching....

Comfortable, clean and beautiful. This is a lovely place to stay. It is in walking distance to Magic Kingdom and you can watch the fireworks from the property grounds. Nice quick service restaurant. We did not experience any noise issues and there were kids in the common area playing and screaming, but we couldn’t hear them when we shut the door.

Pros:

Beautiful, comfortable and clean

Cons:

None

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t feel out of place while staying her with my young family! I always enjoyed dining here but felt it may be too “stuffy” for us to actually stay and boy was I wrong! The cast members were all so friendly and helpful! Our room had such an amazing view of the lagoon and magic kingdom and we watched the electrical water pageant nightly. Fireworks weren’t happening during our trip but I’ve already booked a return trip back to grand Floridian and look forward to watching the fireworks from the room next trip! Kids loved the pool and water slide and we enjoyed it every afternoon! The quick service had some great offerings outside
Typical fast food fare, and we enjoyed our meal at grand Floridian cafe. The newly added walking trail to MK was such a relaxing walk on the way back after an evening at MK! We can’t wait to get back!!

Pros:

Service, room size, amenities, views, transportation options, dining and pool

Cons:

Cost

I’ve always wanted to stay at this resort. After moving our annual trip several times due to the pandemic, we lucked into getting dates here during Spring Break using our DVC points. I was beyond excited and I’m so thrilled the service and location were everything I imagined and more!

We had a split stay between Coronado and GF, so our room wasn’t ready when we attempted check in at noon. A most helpful cast member was able to get us checked in early. He’s my hero! I had another amazing customer service experience with them since I lost my license during our stay (yes, I’m a hot mess). They found it and held it for me at the check in desk.

Add to that, the gorgeous grounds, quiet rooms, amazing view from our balcony, awesome pool, and riding the monorail to MK each day! This was an unforgettable stay.

While the rooms could use an update, we spend a minimal amount of time in our room, so that wasn’t a huge factor for me. If you can swing the price, book this stay!!

Pros:

Breathtakingly beautiful! Amazing service! Gasparilla Grille has the best grilled cheese and tomato soup meal I’ve ever eaten after a long day in the parks! The monorail!! We literally did not move our car the 3 nights we stayed here. The Sandy beach area is a great spot to read in the evenings, if you’re a weirdo like me who travels with books. Great pool area! Sitting on our balcony watching the monorails pass was the best thing EVER!

Cons:

The cost. I agree the price is super high. We probably wouldn’t pay out of pocket for this resort, but if you can swing it — DO IT!

This a really beautiful hotel. It is my dream to stay here.

Pros:

It looks absolutely gorgeous. Luxury at its finest.

Cons:

If you complain about this place. You are more than likely a total cheapskate who looks for any excuse to not stay here because of the Price

I have never actually stayed here but I really, really, really want to stay here. The Grand Floridian doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Show the Grand Floridian some respect.

Pros:

It is freakin beautiful. What a beautiful resort.

Cons:

I have never gotten to stay here.
