    Which rooms are the closest to transportation at the Grand Floridian

    Hi, Komal, and welcome to planDisney!

    Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is one of the most beautiful hotels in the Disney Resorts Collection. The soaring lobby and Victorian vibes definitely make this flagship hotel a must-try for many visitors to Walt Disney World Resort. It's on my bucket list, for sure!

    As a deluxe hotel, the Grand Floridian offers a ton of incredible amenities, including a variety of restaurants, different room types to accommodate parties of all sizes, and quick and convenient transportation so you can get where you're going. Let's focus in on transportation and room locations to get to the heart of your question.

    First, the Grand Floridian is located on the monorail loop, just one stop away from Magic Kingdom Park. You can access the monorail on the second floor of the main building just above the porte-cochère. The rooms that are closest to this mode of transportation include the club level rooms in the main building, and rooms in the Sugar Loaf Key, Sago Cay, and Big Pine Key buildings. Keep in mind that the Resort Monorail and Express Monorail begin operating 30 minutes prior to when Magic Kingdom opens and stop one hour after Magic Kingdom closes.

    Next, you can be whisked across Seven Seas Lagoon using boat transportation, and the dock is located just beyond Narcoossee's restaurant. The captains of these vessels are some of my favorite Cast Members at Disney World, as they interact with the little ones, tell amazing stories, and have a trivia question or two up their sleeve. I had an amazing captain once who referred to himself as my "Ferry" Godfather! He was a talented whistler and serenaded us with "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "You Can Fly!" We were so impressed. The rooms closest to the dock will be in the Conch Key building.

    Finally, there is the tried and true Disney bus service which will pick you up in front of the main building. Exit the lobby and head to your right and you will find the bus stop. The rooms closest to the bus stop will be in the main building. Remember, service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney theme parks begins 45 minutes prior to opening and ends one hour after closing.

    There are so many easy ways to travel from this resort, and I hope you'll be able to try them all. Even though I've given you the closest buildings to these varied transportation options, each of the choices is just a short walk from any of the buildings at the resort.

    Ok, Komal! I hope that helps paint a picture of the transportation options and room locations at the Grand Floridian. Come back and see us at planDisney for more vacation planning expertise!

    Stay magical,
    Scott
