It actually looks like the tree is a little off center towards the bar

The Villas at Grand Floridian are now Decorated​

The Grand Floridian Villas are also decorated!

Take a look at the festive touches.

Here is a look at one of the Christmas trees inside.

And, there are wreaths up in the small lobby!

Here is a closer look.

In Sandy Cove Gifts and Sundries, you can get this cookie pack for $45.

It is not off center, that is a trick of the position where the picture was taken. Please don't cast unwarranted accusations toward the Holiday team.

I don’t know. X looks like it marks the spot - right in the center!

It looks like the carpet was designed for the location of the Christmas tree. It is perfectly centered in the carpet pattern.

Agreed. I always thought that to be true with the old carpet as well.

Disney Vacation Club Desk Reopens at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort​

The DVC desk closed in September, amid the ongoing reimagining of the resort’s lobby. It was temporarily relocated to a spot near Sandy Cove Gifts and Sundries. It moved back last month but didn’t reopen until now.

Here's a few photos I took of the day/night Christmas decorations were going up.

Did they remove the piano when they put the tree up or is it relocated somewhere the pictures aren't capturing?

Thinking about getting a massage at Grand Floridian during my trip in December. What should I expect?

Just there for a long weekend and don't live far away (staying at Bonnet Creek bc December prices). I'll have other chances to have a "go-go-go" trip so this one will hopefully be relatively laid back.

BREAKING: Walt Disney World Monorail System Closed Following Reported Fire on Monorail Silver

Shortly before 9am this morning, an emergency call was made for a fire near Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Based on unconfirmed social media posts, Monorail Silver suffered some sort of malfunction, leading to an alleged electrical fire. The fire appears to have produced some black smoke from near a joint between two monorail cabins.

It’s unclear if any guests were on the monorail at the time of the fire, or if there were any injuries. BlogMickey.com has reached out to Disney for more details about the incident, but we haven’t heard back.

The Walt Disney World monorail system is currently closed, likely due to the incident.

Beautiful!

Dd was on it, before security take your baby bag and stuff easy to carry out of stroller. You walk with baby bag though security and they check baby in stroller fast.

If you leave a bunch of crap in the stroller they go through it all and takes time. Condense, carry and move on!

What a great idea! I am going to pass along this information to my sister. She is taking her grandkids to DW in a couple months.

I realize you posted this some time ago. I am once again trying to catch up. But the good news is that I have decided to retire in May. My job will no longer get in the way of my Disney addiction.
