What kinds of rooms to we get at the Grand Floridian? Are they 1 bedrooms with nice space
or broom closets????
I understand they are hotel rooms with no kitchens or washers

Not as big as the Contemporary rooms, but nice sized. Two queen beds. Maybe a day bed. Basically just a room with a bathroom (sink outside the tub/toilet room). Not much different from a DVC studio, only no kitchenette, and no sleeper sofa.

Did you like it?
your opinion counts since you HATE the studios

 

[Deb & Bill]

We stayed in Sugarloaf several years back on the buy 4 get three more free. It was nice, but really not much more than a studio, except since it was concierge, we got concierge snacks all day long. Everyonce in a while, we like to try the non-DVC resorts. We've stayed at CR in a wing room, GF Sugarloaf concierge, AKL concierge and regular AKL savanna, Polynesian Lagoon view, CBR, CSR, POFQ as well as our DVC stays. They all were nice, but we prefer a DVC one bedroom every time.

Thank you
I LIKE YOU!
I know most people dont care about room size because they feel they spend most of the time in the park and just sleep in the room
BUT
I like a nice room with a tub to come home and relax in before bed!!

I think it depends. We once booked concierge on points and they upgraded us to a honeymoon suite. Loved it. It was very spacious, but it still didn't have the kitchenette. We didn't need it though with the concierge.

Now I would never use my points or squish myself into a regular hotel room if my kids were staying with us, but when it is just DH and I we can suffer for a few days and deal with concierge at the GF.

I stayed at the GF for my honeymoon. The rooms and hotel are magnificent. Our room was a typical hotel room, even a bit smaller because we were on the top floor facing the lake.

Is it economical to pay points for GF rather than cash, particularly when considering the hotel + ticket packages?

Never. The number of points required for the GF is very high.

Me too. I am more concerned with where I am going to relax than where I am going to play. Having a nice room "makes" my trip perfect!

The room turned out nice in (Oct)
It was the size of a studio in OKW maybe a little bigger
There was Kool Aid on the rug that never got cleaned up even though we called twice about it
and it is a BIG PLUS Staying on the monorail route!

Now you can do that at BLT and get a one bedroom villa.

Grand Floridian is not a DVC resort, it's a regular hotel. They do have some 1 bedroom suites but they are not like DVC resorts with kitchens.

One used to be able to book the suites with points but no more.
