Oh I Disneymooned at the Grand Floridian about 13 years ago! It is obviously very beautiful. The lobby is truly stunning and in the evening there is live music playing so it also sounds pretty 'classy' too. I was in my early twenties back then and I felt like the check in staff was a little rude and stuffy, (and I'm from NJ so I know rude...lol...come to think of it, maybe that's why they were rude...
).... perhaps it was just an off day
If you are going to stay there you HAVE TO (HAVE TO!
) do Victoria and Alberts; truly very romantic. They personalize your menus and all the ladies get a rose. It was the first meal on my honeymoon where they called us Mr. and Mrs. (and I teared up a bit...
) I will absolutely never forget that meal...I still have the menus. Food was delicious and we left there full. It was probably one of the nicest experiences I've ever had at a restaurant.
I'm not sure if they have refurbed the rooms yet, but I will say that the rooms themselves are very 'girly'...flowery 'grandma' beds but I absolutely love everything Victorian so it was fine by me! My husband was fine with it because it made me happy, but I don't think the Grand Floridian would have been his first choice.
we didn't use any of the pools because we were married in February and it was a bit chilly that year for swimming so I can't speak on that...
It is also great because obviously the monorail is super convenient, you can watch MK fireworks from the beach I believe too.
I know recently there has been a significant amount of contruction going on at the hotel as well and I'm not sure when it will be done (I'm sure someone else on here will though
I would definitely recommend staying there for your Disneymoon! In fact we wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian for our upcoming trip but couldn't swing the $$
so we're staying at The Boardwalk Inn instead (which is also very beautiful!!) Good luck with your planning! You are going to have the best Disneymoon ever!
