Considered the crown jewel of the Walt Disney World® Resort hotels, the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa recalls Florida's golden era and is approximately 20 miles from Orlando International Airport. A monorail stop at the front of the hotel carries guests to Disney's Magic Kingdom® Theme Park and Epcot®. Water ferries and buses provide other means of transport around Walt Disney World® Resort.This red-and-white Victorian-style resort features elegant decor and a white-sand beach. Down by the lake, guests can relax under the beach umbrellas, rent a pontoon boat or motorboat, or charter the resort's yacht (for a fee). The Beach Pool features a zero-depth entry point and waterfalls. A second swimming pool features a children's pool and a whirlpool. Guests may visit the spa to unwind with massage and water therapies, or work out in the fitness center. There is also a tennis court available for guest use (equipment not provided). Children can become a pirate, attend a Wonderland tea party, attend a cooking lesson, or hang out in the supervised Mouseketeer Club. Additional amenities include a video arcade, jogging trail, babysitting services, parking, laundry facilities and services, business center, and a beauty shop. Dining options include 900 Park Fare, Mediterranean fare at Citricos, American cuisine at Victoria & Albert's adult only restaurant, afternoon tea in the Garden View Lounge, seafood at Narcoossee's, the Grand Floridian Cafe, and Gasparilla Grill & Games.With Extra Magic Hours, guests staying at a Walt Disney World® Resort have even more chances to experience the magic. Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular Park closing, so guests can enjoy easy access to select attractions - even the most popular ones.
