Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa combines Victorian elegance with modern luxury and recalls the golden age of Palm Beach. From the hotel you can see the fireworks above Cinderella Castle.
Location and transport
The hotel sits on the Seven Seas Lagoon. With the Resort Monorail you're just one stop from Magic Kingdom; you can also take the boat or walk. To get to EPCOT, you travel with one change on the monorail. A free bus runs to the other parks.
Rooms and suites
You can choose from rooms with theme park, resort or water views, for up to five people. Club Level gives you access to the Royal Palm Club; some suites overlook Cinderella Castle. The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa are right next door.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Extended Evening Hours
On selected evenings, one theme park stays open later for guests of the Deluxe hotels and Deluxe Villas.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
