It’s the best! I’ve said it before but once you stay there you’re spoiled. Whenever I can’t stay there, it’s just not the same trip! Take the plunge and try it sometime.

I had a teacher in elementary school that loved Disney and we’d talk about it all the time during lunch or recess. His favorite resort was the Contemporary so it always reminds me of him! I’m a GF lover myself and always get hated on too lol.

Just curious why you decided to leave the GF? It’s my favorite BY FAR!! I feel it generally gets a bad reputation on forums.

I had to book an extra night at the Grand Floridian when our flight was cancelled once. The front desk agent called reservations for me and gave me the rack rate, so I called myself and get some kind of deal for $399 (unheard of at the GF). I wouldn’t take their first offer as I was able to save...

I’ll never understand the hate for the Grand Floridian. It’s been and always will be my favorite!! Classic Disney, great location, and just a step above the rest of the hotels. Haven’t tried the Four Seasons, I’m sure it’s awesome but I honestly wouldn’t feel right going to Disney and not...

I think the GF’s rooms need to be completely gutted. The last renovation was a massive improvement but it’s time to reconfigure the room. The bathroom is a problem, it’s not luxurious at all and the shower/toilet area is cramped and dark. They need to combine the space where the sinks are with...

My parents told me that they used to be able to get the GF for $300 a night during slower months when my sister and I were little (1997-2003). We stayed there exclusively and then they bought DVC. Now we don’t go as often so we use the points to stay at the GF hotel side, sometimes we can even...

Does anyone notice how the whole “flagship” tag line that always went with the Grand Floridian has kind of disappeared over the years? I mean I remember the monorail spiel said “our flagship resort,” the websites always made sure to say flagship, etc. I don’t see that term used much anymore when...

Why all the hate for the Grand Floridian? I know it sounds crazy but at this point, having been to Disney so many times, I’d rather not go if I wasn’t staying there. I love pretty much everything about it, and it’s special to me since it’s the first hotel I stayed at when my parents brought my...

I am such a snob when it comes to hotels...and I'm very particular about what themes I like. I have stayed at Grand Floridian, Bay Lake Tower, Wilderness Lodge, Beach Club, Yacht Club, Boardwalk, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Saratoga Springs, and Port Orleans Riverside. I would never stay at a value or...

I have stayed at both resorts. My heart truly belongs at the Grand Floridian, but I really do enjoy the Epcot resorts. I like Boardwalk's theming, but I like the quaint and more-adult feeling at the Yacht Club. You can't go wrong, but I would definitely not want to stay at a resort in the middle...

I am an avid Grand Floridian fan. If you're looking for the best service and nicest rooms on property, choose the GF. The Polynesian is so classic Disney, but I find it to be a little cheesy and dated.

I always stay in Boca Chica unless we do club level. It's my favorite location

The GF club levels put all others to shame! Switch to the GF

Has anyone been to Disney lately and seen whether or not they split the Magic Kingdom resorts up into two separate lines from Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Downtown? When I was there in November, a CM said they were putting the GF and Poly together, and WL and Contemp together.

Have you considered staying at the Grand Floridian?

I've been on it during a summer downpour. We were actually at the same height as the clouds! It was so cool.

I've seen two episodes. One time, people were shoving into the resort monorail because they didn't want to wait for the express to TTC when the cast members specifically said resort guests only on the resort monorail. A fight broke out between two women with strollers and I couldn't even believe...

I have a really good friend that butchers everything. Here are some examples: Blue Tram for Blue Line Thunder Run for BTMRR Disney for the Magic Kingdom Hollywood Tower of Terror for ToT Also I can't stand when people don't say the proper name of their resort. Examples that I've heard...

When I was younger and traveled to WDW with my parents and sister, they would always book garden view at the Grand Floridian. Several times at check-in, we were taken to the Sugar Loaf concierge building...but we also had a cousin who managed the Grand Floridian convention center. When we moved...
