Review: My family and I have stayed at this resort twice, the first time, June 2006, in Sugar Loaf, what a wonderful experience. We made reservations to stay in Sugar Loaf the second time, Dec 2007. They must have been short on rooms, no matter, we were upgraded to the Main Bldg at no extra cost. The concierge staff in both buildings were extremely friendly and helpful. On our second trip my 9 year old son bought a ceramic parrot at Epcot, we decided to have it sent back to our room via Disney's courier service. We received it the next day and even though it was wrapped really well, the bird had broken in half. We notified the concierge desk right away, went to the Magic Kingdom for a couple of hours and when we got back to our room, there was a new parrot waiting for us! We can't wait to go back again!

Review: Our visit to this lovely hotel was clouded by the theft of my diamond ring from my personal belongings in my hotel room.  WDW Security showed little interest in pursuing an investigation. I got the Orange County Sheriff's Dept involved and the detective on the case has been most conscientious ... without much help from WDW Security.  Another similar incident happened in the hotel around the same time... stolen money and jewelry. There are many employees who have access to the hotel rooms, so beware and be careful!

Review: Recently I wrote a bad review on Old Key West.  However, we just returned from WDW for Mother's Day.  The Grand Floridian is just that - "grand."  The decorations, food, cast members and rooms are all first-rate.  We were extremely pleased to find that we had a room with a view of the Magic Kingdom.  I'm not sure if it was because I wrote a letter to WDW that we had the view.  We sure did appreciate, so much so I wrote a thank you note to WDW.  I would say that I've been to WDW at least 50 times in  my life.  However, this has been the best trip ever; even though we didn't go on as many rides.  We enjoyed the people around us.  The cast members that made it such a magical trip and our hotel.  We are seasonal pass holders and we plan on returning to WDW in late August, October and Early December.

Review: My sister and I are retired and we love staying a Deluxe Concierge room in the Main Building where the staff waits on you hand and foot. The deluxe concierge room is larger than the regular room and has a wet bar. In the mornings the staff prepares a breakfast buffet table and in the afternoon they serve tea and snacks. In the evening the refreshment includes wine and cheese trays. In the afternoon my sister and I like to sit on the fourth floor balcony and watch the Grand Floridian Band serenade the lobby. I especially love the thought that when I return to my room, late at night to hit the sack, I will find where the staff has left me a nightly surprise such as: chocolate tuxedoed strawberries in a glass slipper or a 3" solid chocolate Mickey. One night the chef drew a sketch (in chocolate) of the Grand Floridian on a oval mirror.  In fact it is so much fun staying at the Floridian that my sister and I have a hard time breaking away from the hotel to visit the kingdoms. One final suggestion - if you want to see the Magic Kingdom but want to stay in the main building, I suggest that you request a second floor room overlooking the marina. Here's to caviar wishes and champagne dreams and the next visit we have at our favorite hotel.

Review: The Grand Floridian is GREAT!!  The first year we went which was 8-98 while checking in the cast member gave us pamphlets and info on Disney World.  My mother opens it up and says how cute Mickey was.  The cast member tells us to hold on, she gets on the phone and within seconds she comes back and upgrades us to the lagoon view looking right at the Castle at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!!  She couldn't believe how much we loved MICKEY!  Also 2 nights before we left after coming back from the parks all day we enter our room to find a Chocolate Mickey about 7 inches high with Strawberries dipped in Chocolate all around it.  We saved the Mickey and ate the Strawberries.  The people go out of there way when you stay here.  This is the only resort we will stay at.  It's the best!!!
