Hey there Paulette and welcome to planDisney!
Welcome to the class of '81! That kind of enduring friendship definitely deserves a celebration and with a birthday to plan for as well, it's time to get this party started. Lucky for you, your Fairy GodTaylor is reporting for magical duty. Let's go!
How many of your classmates will be on this adventure? If the gang's all back together again and y'all will need more than 10+ rooms, y'all will definitely want to
call 407-939-1942 to speak with the Cast Members at Group Reservations. They'll be able to get y'all on track.
Now as for hotels, there are so many great locations on property for y'all to enjoy. But for such a special occasion, these are the 3 that first come to mind:
1.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Old-world luxury and elegance reign supreme at this crown jewel of the
Disney Resorts Collection. You'll be sitting right in the shadow of
Magic Kingdom Park and a plethora of delicious restaurants and lounges like
Grand Floridian Cafe and
Enchanted Rose to enjoy.
2.
Disney's Riviera Resort. The charm of the European coast is everywhere you look at this hotel. Disney classics playing in French and Italian, light and airy colors and decor, and beautiful water views abound. It feels like exactly the place to wear your linen outfit and your sunglasses at all times. And don't forget the easy access to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT via the
Disney Skyliner!
3.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I stayed here with a large group not too long ago and my goodness it was marvelous! A cozy fire pit right in the lobby, the world's largest collection of African art outside of Africa itself, and animals right outside your window are sure to leave you breathless.
Paulette, you were right to direct your classmates to the Walt Disney World Resort to experience the magic. I just hope I've given you some things to think about to add a little pixie dust to your stay. If you have any other questions, please feel free to
come back for another chat. We can talk about all the
Enchanting Extras that will really add some EARidesence to your vacation. ChEARS to the class of 1981!
Happy planning!
Taylor
