Hi Iris,
Welcome to planDisney! It's always great to hear from a fellow Disney-loving Floridian.
How awesome it would be to win an ultimate Walt Disney World experience like the one you described in our question. I don't know of any official Disney contests that have that specific award, but I can tell you that
Disney+ often has contests open for its subscribers that offer Walt Disney World vacations as a prize. The current sweepstakes is tied to
Cool KIDS SUMMER.
If you are a subscriber, you can find those contests under
Disney+ Perks.
Even without a pixie-dusted opportunity to stay at the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian (or one of the other deluxe hotels in the
Disney Resorts Collection) at no cost -- and if a night's accommodations don't fit your budget right now -- there are ways to enjoy a bit of the luxury without breaking the bank. Here are a few ideas that range from free to $100 or so a person:
- Grab a drink at The Perch and relax in the elegant Grand Floridian lobby. Or pop into the beautiful Enchanted Rose for a drink and snack.
- Book the Garden View Lounge Tea Experience.
- Be pampered with a pedicure at the Grand Floridian Spa.
- Watch Happily Ever After from the boat dock of the Polynesian. It's not a bungalow, but the view is the same. Or watch from a spot near the Grand Floridian Marina.
- Splurge on dinner at Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian or California Grill at the Contemporary for a view of the fireworks as part of your meal. (Or try the rooftop Topolino's Terrace at the Riviera Resort, which is one of my favorites for opulent beauty.)
I hope that's helpful, Iris. Please let us know if you have other questions, and good luck in finding some magical bits of luxury on your next visit to Walt Disney World.
Enjoy,
Wilma
