Hi Julie!
Ahhhh, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Just by reading your question, my mind somehow transported me there.
I can hear the sounds of pianist in the lobby as he plays a lovely tune, feel the tranquility come over me after having had a
spa treatment at Senses, and even taste some of the amazing cuisine from restaurants like Citricos, Narcoossee's, and the crown jewel of them all...Victoria and Albert's.
Ok, let me snap back into reality so I can answer your question! (As you can tell, I absolutely love Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa!)
When it comes to the views offered by the rooms at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, you basically have three choices to choose from: Garden View, Lagoon View, and Theme Park View.
With a Garden View room, you'll likely have views of the pool, the marina, or the courtyard gardens. With a Lagoon View room, you'll likely have a view of the Seven Seas Lagoon, Disney Polynesian Resort, and Disney's Contemporary Resort. With a Theme Park view room, you'll have the most unobstructed views possible of the Magic Kingdom skyline. If you're hoping to have a view of Cinderella's Castle from your balcony, this room type is the one you should choose.
Personally, I book the Theme Park view rooms because I have younger children who prefer to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the comfort of our room. Afterwards, my wife and I tuck them in to bed and wonder how we'll be able to get them to sleep when we get back home without a nightly fireworks display to close out the evening!
I hope that helps. If you should have any other questions, please feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to help in any way that I can!
Best regards,
Derek
