I would rate it a 4 for normal hotel but for the money we spent my expectations should be higher. Place is beautiful and great location. Three issues and I am not going to list cost as we knew what we were getting into. Loss luggage for my daughter’s room. Pool closed and you have to manually check when it reopens. Garden pool has three flood lights that are run by noisy and gas smelling generators. These flood lights are not needed. Totally ruin the ambiance of the fire works and noise and smell is a turn off. For company that promotes green wasting gas like this is insane.

We spent 3 nights at the end of June, and it was a wonderful experience. We stayed in a Club level 1 bedroom suite. We could see the fireworks from our balcony. The rooms were large, and there was a large pull out sofa for the kids. We had nice breakfasts and lunch/snacks on the club level. Easy access to the monorail.
One day we took a very expensive private tour, and were picked up at 2pm. So, we spent the morning at the pools, which were very nice and not crowded. However, on the last day, we came back at 1pm from the MK to get our luggage, and the Mad Hatter pool was packed.
Service for us was excellent. First night at 11pm the hair dryer was missing, they brought us a new one right away. We got home and found that 3 metal water bottles were missing, left in the luggage storage. With help from a Disney operator I filed a lost and found report on line. Acknowledged immediately, and a few days later, the 3 water bottles arrived, no charge. Finally, our private guide, Kayla, was awesome.
An expensive vacation, but well worth it. No rain.

I always thought it would be awesome to stay here or the Polynesian! Through DVC rental I was able to get a room for two nights to relax at the end of our trip. We moved over here from Animal Kingdom lodge which I loved as well but the Grand Floridian was nothing more than absolute amazing! Whole resort is just absolutely stunning and beautiful! Even during construction. We had a room in the Big Pine Key. Our room was on the third floor and had an amazing view of the lagoon! I highly recommend getting up early in the morning for sunrise pictures! The only thing I thought could’ve been better were the pools. The courtyard pool is perfect in the evening for viewing fireworks! I hope to possibly return here in our future for a special occasion. I could not pay the price and be spending my time out at the parks staying here. This is definitely a treat at the end of our vacation to relax and that it was and more!

Stunning resort with holiday magic
Jun 19, 2025Trek47407839984Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Disney World’s crown jewel resort did not disappoint! Beyond gorgeous rooms. Extreme attention to detail in hotel decor and smells in November. Lovely staff and lots of food options. Fireworks views from the grounds and lovely pools. Would 1000% stay again.
Top notch experience, Top notch Disney

I cannot say more good things about this spot. We have stayed now like 4 times on our own as our family and I adore this hotel. The service that you receive is incredible. The grounds are in peak standings. Not a crumb on the floor anywhere. The pool area is kept up and the staff is great.

Most recently we just did Mothers day... and before this July 2024 for 6 nights for my daughters 5th bday.
This past four nights I had checked in and had some refrigeration go bad since they did not put that bag in the fridge at bell.
I called down just to tell them that happened.. THEY WENT SHOPPING FOR US and RE BOUGHT those few items. WOW.. they made it right. Trust me I would of had a bad taste in my mouth had they not done that. The room we had was amazing and this last time we didn't get theme park or lagoon view. We did resort view because unlike Animal Kingdom lodge or other deluxe hotels. There is not a lot of "bad views" like parking lot. We had a view of the courtyard pool and was very close to gasparilla grill.
Just bliss for me as a mom, I get to vacation with other individuals who are like minded and not "bubba" down at the pool with Erv the toothless wonder.
Also one of other thing. Having a few amazing spots to eat... just 2-5 minute walk is priceless. I got out of the shower at 730 and made an 8pm reservation with hair and makeup done. So theres that too.
