Virgin rating

The hotel

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the crème de la crème of the Disney Resort hotels. And how could it get better - booking yourself a spacious villa to enjoy together with all the family. With kitchen facilities and more space to relax after a busy day in the parks, you can unwind in style. The Victorian-style splendour of the resort will wow you from the start, and the top class facilities continue with a full-service spa and equisite dining. The best bit about staying here? You're just a hop, skip or monorail away from Magic Kingdom park. And being this close means you can enjoy the evening fireworks views from the resort itself!

We stayed here again as part of our DVC booking, the property doesn't disappoint, it's a great place to holiday. We were there for our wedding in Disneys Wedding Pavilion (which is amazing as a venue!).

We stayed here again as part of our DVC booking, the property doesn't disappoint, it's a great place to holiday. We were there for our wedding in Disneys Wedding Pavilion (which is amazing as a venue!). The rooms are fresh, clean and tidy and look like brand new, the one bedroom villa that we chose was big enough for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 children), we had a super king sized bed, a double Murphy bed and a single Murphy bed too. You can use all amenities across the resort, although we tensed to stay round the pool with the slide. Shout out to Barry and the pool bar team who were great every day. We made the right decision making this our home resort! Read less

We went for Christmas. We had a large family trip and this was the only time that worked for our school and work schedules. The villas were very quiet and peaceful even during this super busy time. The resort was quieter from 12/22-12/24. It looks like more guests arrive for the week between Christmas and New Years. It got very busy on the 26, 27, 28. The resort is extremely clean and upkept. The only difficulty was the Villas front desk staff. They had an attitude of "not my problem" even though they were fully in charge of booking rooms. We stayed in two different levels, a deluxe studio for 3 nights and then a 2-bedroom for the remaining 7 days of our stay when additional family members joined us. They gave us the worst room for our studio stay. It was much smaller than the other studios and was supposed to be lakeview (which costs more), which you could only see if you strained your neck. It was also located on the 1st floor. It was not the nice room we envisioned. I don't know that I would ever spend more for a better view given what they booked us in. Then for the 2-bedroom stay, they again tried to place us in the worst room in the building. I refused and said we would wait for another room to become available... They gave me a lot of attitude, said they could not accommodate, that nothing else was available... yet miraculously they found 2 other room options within 5 minutes. This was our first stay at the villas at DVC members, I did not expect that on a welcome home visit, they would try to stick us in the very worst rooms. It was incredibly disappointing. When you spend over $40,000 on DVC you don't expect to get the bottom of the barrel at a deluxe resort. Read less

This was a split stay, 3 nights here followed by 3 nights in a DVC room at Big Pine Key. Room 1315 was nicely decorated and very comfortable for two of us.

This was a split stay, 3 nights here followed by 3 nights in a DVC room at Big Pine Key. Room 1315 was nicely decorated and very comfortable for two of us. It was facing out the back towards the new Poly building work which was probably better than the front view as they had cherry pickers in use during the day for re-painting. The only downside was the many mosquitos on the balcony. This was our second time staying here.

Booked a 1 night deluxe studio stay with DVC points. On arrival, we were given a 1 bedroom villa, and wow! Just wow! Great space, full kitchen, and diner. Pull down bed and Murphy bed in living room. Large balcony on the 3rd floor facing out but could see the fireworks
