Cabana Rental at Grand Floridian

[oceanwave]

I am looking at renting a Cabana at the Grand Floridian in August. I was trying to look up the information on the Disney site, and Stitch keeps eating the page. Does anyone know what the cost is? And what is included? We are going in August, is it worth it to rent one during this time of year and if so morning or afternoon? Are you limited to the number of people that can use it? Also where are they located?

We loved having the cabana at the GF. It gave us a good shady place to drop our stuff, eat lunch etc. They are located at the beach pool, next to the bathrooms, and there's an attendant if you want to order food. She also empties your trash, brings clean towels, drinks etc.

Is there a safe so you can lock your valuables?

Don't shoot the messenger

Nah. I just find Disney's attempt to make it a value-add funny. For $27.50 per hour, throw in a diet coke and a banana.

I totally agree, they be better off just saying "includes". Complimentary and WDW do not go together

Thanks for the info! Did you find it was worth it?

Our reservation isn't until June 2. My wording wasn't very clear and I made it sound like I actually used it yesterday!

I think it will be, though. (I haven't been to Florida in the summer since I was a kid, and I can't bear the thought of baking in that hot Florida sun.) If I remember, I'll try to take some pictures and post about the $ value for the experience

Haha that's ok, still very informative! Did you have to prepay or do you pay when you arrive? Do you happen to know if there is a limit to the number of people who use it?

I had to prepay, which caught me a little off guard. I've done the Wishes and IllumiNations cruises and I didn't have to prepay. I assumed reserving a cabana would be the same.

I was also caught off guard by the price as I was assuming the $110/$185 prices above. I figured in an additional 15% for taxes and fees. So I was expecting around $130 for a half-day rental.

I think I remember reading that the cabanas accommodate a party of 8 or 9.

 

[Regan117]

Cabanas accommodate 6 adults. If there are more in you party, you will need a second cabana.

Yikes! I was a little off there. Thanks for the info!

Yes the price of $110 is outdated. I booked today for August and it was $211 and I had to prepay.
