I didn’t find anything I really wanted at the Polynesian, so I got back onto the monorail and got off at the Grand Floridian. The GFlo is my most favorite hotel and I dream of staying there some day. I kind of obsess over the lobby.
The band playing at night makes the ads to the whole feeling of being at some other time and place.
I love the giant birdcage.
And look at that window in the ceiling. It's gorgeous.
The GFlo had their own, very giant, gingerbread house.
To get to the quick serve, Gasparilla Grill, from the lobby you have to go outside. This giant vintage postcard was hanging on the wall and it made me think of Danny and Hannah. I was loving being alone at the parks, but I did miss them a little.
From the outside path to the restaurant.
I was still on the dining plan, so I placed my order for some pasta, grabbed my drink and dessert and found a seat.
I got loads and loads of pasta! Definitely more than I could eat.
On the way back to Bay Lake, the monorail passed the Water Pageant. This is the shot I got from the moving monorail
Of course the Contemporary was full of it's own holiday decorations.
I was headed out to the walkway between the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower as the fireworks started. Perfect timing!
What a great end to an awesome day! I took a shot of one of the pieces of art hanging outside the elevators. Then I climbed in, found my room and crawled in bed. It was going to be my last night in such luxury.
