Grand Floridian room types

[UKDEB]

Can someone please explain the different room types to me? It seems that Deluxe rooms are only available with Concierge, or maybe that's what makes them Deluxe . Are they bigger than the standard rooms?

And what about the Lodge Tower rooms? Can anyone describe them and how they differ from standard?

"What is the difference between a standard room and a dormer ("attic") room?

Both types of rooms are furnished the same and contain the same features. The dormer rooms are actually a bit smaller (3 feet smaller) than the standard rooms, but seem larger, since dormer rooms feature vaulted ceilings. Standard rooms sleep 5 people, while dormer rooms sleep only 4. Dormer rooms are also the only rooms to feature a private balcony. Standard rooms have balconies, but they are not private. From the outside of the resort, you can easily tell the two types apart. Rooms on the lower floors with wide balconies are the standard rooms. Rooms on the upper floors with balconies under peaked portions of the roof are the dormer rooms.
What is a lodge tower room?

The lodge tower rooms are located in the semi-circular protrusions you can see on the outside of some buildings. They include all of the features of a standard room. They also have a separate sitting area, with additional furniture, TV and phone. There are views out of five windows, as well as a separate balcony."

"Which is better--lagoon view or pool view?

Lagoon views are usually thought of as the best. They offer views of the Magic Kingdom or the Seven Seas Lagoon. However, pool views and garden views are sometimes just as good. Views of just the other buildings in the complex are actually very nice, people-watching is at a premium, and the architecture and landscaping of these views sometimes fits in better with the overall Grand Floridian Resort and Spa atmosphere.
It's my honeymoon! What is the difference between the octagon and jacuzzi honeymoon rooms?

Octagon rooms do not have a balcony or a jacuzzi tub . However, this room is bigger than the jacuzzi room , has a wet bar, and has windows almost all of the way around, providing a greater view. Jacuzzi rooms do have a balcony and jacuzzi tub, but no wet bar or walk-in closet. Jacuzzi rooms are also located on a part of the second floor with no through traffic, providing a quieter atmosphere. Both rooms include all concierge benefits.
What is on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the main building? How can I get there?

All Concierge rooms and about half of the suites are located here. Concierge desks on the third floor offer very personalized services to only those guests occupying rooms on these floors. A lounge on the fourth floor is the spot for continental breakfasts and evening refreshments, once again only for those guests on these floors. Unless you are staying in one of these special rooms, you cannot get to the third, fourth, or fifth floors of the main building. Access is by private elevator only "Sugar Loaf " building is also now concierge service. To a slightly lesser degree than the Main Building, in that the food offered throughout the day isn't quite as extensive.
