Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is Disney’s Flagship Resort and there’s no need to explain why! It’s elegant, it’s refined- and it’s also fun! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is a Victorian-inspired ‘seaside’ resort. An open-cage elevator takes you in style to shopping and dining venues. The on-site full service spa pampers guests with a wide range of services. The Grand Floridian Orchestra entertains in the Grand Lobby, or maybe there’s a pianist, in a tux, playing the grand piano. The musicians and all of the Cast Members at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, make this resort a perfect place for kids to have a luxurious and memorable vacation.
