This is the easiest poll I think I have ever had to answer, heh. The Grand Floridian is my home...at least I call it that, heh.
The feeling I get when I enter through the doors is breath-taking. The automatic doors slide open and the cool air rushes past me into the humid, warm weather of the Floridian weather. I then look around the awe inspiring lobby with its grand piano, oversized, authentic, victorian styel bird cage, and glass elevator elegantly decorated to fit the decor and theme. I mean, where else can you get Disney inspired 19th century ambiance!?
The smell is unforgetable! I always get a happy, pleasant sensation when I smell the magnificent odor of the place, as funny as that might sound, it's true.
Then there are the stores...I personally like M. Mouse Mercantile for its jewlery and Sandy Cove for just, well, everything really. The stores display wonderful GF items such as hats, shirts, towels, bags, souveniers, you name it!!
The pool is awesome as well! There are two pools and a hot tub. One pool has a slide but shallower. The bigger pool is deeper and more for cooling off whereas the other is more for splashes and stuff heh. They take EXCELLENT care of the pools and keep it sparkling clean!
The lanscaping is heavenly!! The flowers are always kept fresh and if they suspect flowers are dying, they will replace them. The lobby flowers are replaced once a week and here's a secret...if you happen to walk through while they are changing the flowers, you might get to take some home!!! Woot!
They also have a big band that plays. After the pianist plays a few tunes, the big band will start playing music that fits the theme...very cool.
The Grand Floridian is home to Florida's best restuarant...Victoria and Albert's. It's a 5 diamond dining experience requiring a dress code and proper manners. This is my FAVORITE restaurant because the food is simply amazing...I've NEVER tasted things like I did that night. It's a 7 couse meal.
There are other restaurants such as Citrico's, 1900 Park Fare, The Grand Floridian Cafe, and Gasperilla Grill (counter service). 1900 Park fare is a character buffet.
What's also great is that the GF is on the monorail. Easy to get to the Magic Kingdom this way...VERY easy.
Located near Gasperilla Grill is the marina. You can rent pontoon boats and water mice (as they call it) -- they say "Sea Racers" on the boats though.
Okay you know what...I could go on and on and on (in fact, I have written a 10-15 page review on the Grand Floridian lol.) So I should stop myself before I make a post that is WAY too long heh. Oops.
The Spa and Health center is amazing as well!! (had to add that heh)
I LOVE the GF.
(As a side note: it is the Grand Floridian...not the GrandFloridian.
