Hi Kristin,
I am super excited about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World.
Disney's Grand Floridan Resort is practically perfect in every way because it has so many perks and amenities. It is my all-time favorite Disney World resort hotel.
The good news is that all of the rooms at the Grand Floridian Resort have now been updated to the beautiful Mary Poppins theme except for club-level rooms located in the main building. Currently, construction is still in progress on the main building and lobby only. If you booked a Theme Park View, Water View, or Resort View room then you will be getting one of these newly themed and refurbished rooms. I recently stayed in one and can attest that is a huge upgrade. The rooms feel elegant and spacious with the perfect dash of Disney magic.
During your stay make sure to check out the
Enchanted Rose Lounge. It is themed after Beauty and the Beast with delicious bar bites and drinks like the Lavender Fog! It also has a beautiful outdoor seating area that makes it the perfect place to relax and have a nightcap. I also recommend booking a reservation for breakfast at the
Grand Floridian Cafe. The Buttermilk-fried Chicken and Waffles or the Traditional Eggs Benedict are the best start to your day. Right after breakfast, you can hop on the monorail to head towards either Magic Kingdom or EPCOT for a day of fun!
The pool at the Grand Floridian Resort is also next level. It is one of only a few pools at Disney World where you can
rent a cabana for the day. These cabanas come equipped with snacks, fruit, comfortable lounge chairs, a TV, ceiling fans, and a stocked refrigerator. We rented one for a celebration recently and had an amazing day relaxing by the pool and feeling completely pampered.
Happy Planning
Jenna
