Our Resort Reviews series is back, and this time the random resort picker landed on one of the most iconic places to stay at Walt Disney World: Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.Known as Disney's flagship resort, the Grand Floridian has a reputation for luxury, incredible dining, beautiful grounds, and one of the best locations on property. But it also comes with a pretty significant price tag. So, does the experience actually live up to the reputation?We're unpacking everything you need to know about staying at the Grand Floridian, including the rooms, pools, transportation, dining, resort layout, Club Level, and those little details that make this resort feel different from anywhere else at Walt Disney World.We'll also tackle some of the questions we hear all the time. Is the Grand Floridian too fancy for families with kids? Is staying in the Main Building worth the upgrade? How much of a difference does being able to walk, boat, or take the monorail to Magic Kingdom really make? And most importantly, who should actually spend the money to stay here?Plus, we'll share where the Grand Floridian shines, where we think it falls a little short, and who might be happier spending their Disney resort budget somewhere else.Resort Reviews is our bonus series where we're making our way through the Walt Disney World resorts in completely random order.
