Hi, S!
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is one of my family's favorite places to stay when we visit the Walt Disney World Resort. We've made countless magical memories there, and I'm excited your family will be able to do the same on your upcoming stay.
It sounds like you are starting off your vacation the right way with a meal at
1900 Park Fare at Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner. You'll definitely want an autograph book and pen ready to go when you dine with royalty so I have the perfect suggestion for you. After you've checked in, head up to the second level of the lobby following the directions for the Resort Monorail. On the left-hand side, you'll see M. Mouse Mercantile where you'll find lots of great Disney merchandise including autograph books and plenty of Disney-themed pens to choose from! We always like to pick a pen with a thicker barrel so it's easier for the characters with larger hands to grip.
S, be sure to take advantage of the fabulous amenities and recreation offered at your Disney Resort. We never miss an opportunity to watch the
Electrical Water Pageant float across the Seven Seas Lagoon, catch a Movie Under the Stars, go for a refreshing swim and relax in the grand lobby listening to the live music. It always makes our vacation extra special having time to enjoy the resort.
Thank you for sending in your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are always happy to help so please let us know if we can assist you further with your magical plans!
Have a wonderful day!
Nancy
