My family of 3 has plans to visit WDW and stay at the GF. My elderly parents have decided to join us and will be staying in our room with us. My dad is in his mid 80’s and broke his back about 10 years ago. We have used the disability pass in the past because his back does not allow him to...

Hey all - hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here on some forthcoming decisions. My family (myself + spouse, 3 girls ages 7-12) will be taking our second Disney Cruise in late Feb 2026 out of Canaveral, and with the stars aligning how they are, we are considering a one-day first-time...

Planning my first-ever trip to WDW this Christmas (the week of) and need some advice—Wilderness Lodge or Grand Floridian for a solo holiday. Costs are about the same, so I’m hoping for insights from those who’ve stayed at either during the holidays. 🎄 The Grand Floridian looks beautiful with...

Is it true that Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian has changed their legendary mac n cheese to the regular counterservice Disney mac n cheese?? Anyone tried it recently? I havn’t been there in over a year but they have (had?) my fave mac n cheese, creamy, white cheddar maybe? I’m...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been very recently and could tell me if the walkway is open? We went in the fall and it was closed, but hoping they’ve reopened it or some version of it by now. We are going next weekend and staying at Polynesian. I’m trying to decide how easy it will be to...

Curious about everyone's thoughts on what we might see from Grand Floridian in the coming months... Is Now the Time to Buy a Grand Floridian DVC Resale Contract? https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/blog/is-now-the-time-to-buy-a-grand-floridian-dvc-resale-contract/?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=dvcfan

In early April I stayed at the Grand Floridian for the first time. I didn't make this reservation by traditional means (it was complimentary by Disney) so don't have the usual info I can look up. The photos on the Disney World website don't match it. It was supposed to be same level as a garden...

Is this normal for 8 months in advance ? I guess i did not start planning early enough. does Disney hold these back? has anyone else had this problem?

We’re officially one week out (yay) and while making my morning latte it occurred to me that I am not sure Grand Floridian has a specialty coffee shop. We’ve stayed at the Poly and I adored their coffee cart, and the contemporary has Joffreys in the lobby which fit my latte needs. Is there a...

I’ve been going to Disneyworld a few times a year for 10 years. I’m a Disneyland local. I’ve stayed at just about every Disney hotel (and a few offsite) and became a DVC member a few years ago. Here are my unfiltered thoughts on Disneyworld resort hotels. Hopefully this helps people planning...

This dinner was truly a long time coming - we had it booked for our original first ever visit to Florida in 2020 which got delayed, and then V&A hadn’t reopened when most things as Disney did. However, a few days before our dining reservations opened, they announced it was reopening and it all...

Today we check out the brand new Resort Studio DVC rooms now open at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!

Video Tour of a 3 Bedroom Grand Villa (Suite 1201) On a very recent business trip to central Florida, I decided to book a quick two night stay at a DVC resort instead of staying at a traditional business hotel. I used points to book a 1 Bedroom Suite at GF because that's all that was available...

We are getting married in October and plan to use Disney’s photographers but have heard mixed reviews. It is making me anxious for sure because it’s arguably one of the most important things that day. What Disney staff photographer do you recommend for quality pictures? Looking for romantic and...

My favorite DVC resorts are CCV, AKL, VGF, and BCV. When I purchased CCV it was a good choice as AKL options are usually open at 7 months. BCV was not attractive as a buyer because of the shorter length of the contract. The VGF price points were not where I wanted to be with my first direct...

Hi, I'll be coming to Disney next weekend and since I'm training for Dopey, I'll be planning my runs. I was wondering if anyone has had experience running from the TTC -> Poly -> Grand Floridian -> MK or something of the latter? I definitely want to run from HS -> Epcot. Also, if you have any...

Long story short, while we stayed at the Yacht Club this past August, there was an issue with my toddler son's health, and he was taken by ambulance in the middle of the night. As a gift, Disney World has given us a two night stay at the Grand Floridian, standard room, lagoon view. We added 3...

Good morning, My family travels to Disney World usually once/twice per year. The last few years we have been on a mission to stay at all the resorts, which we are getting close to completing. This past August we stayed at the Yacht Club for the first time and were super disappointed. Like, it...
