Grand Floridian Questions or Comments

Summer Wish List Sweepstakes

What a nice hotel and we really enjoyed our free stay last weekend. We won the Summer Wish List Sweepstakes and received two free nights there. It was all four of us in the family, and we just lived it up. This hotel could not have lived up to our wish list any better. You can walk or take a boat ride directly to the Magic Kingdom, and part of why this is the best hotel at disney.

Family Reunion

If you are looking for a great place and hotel to stay at and enjoy a family reunion, then this is the hotel for you. We rated the hotel as top of the line, five stars for its excellence and choice of activities. Our family reunion was held here, and there could not be a better place in Orlando for a family gathering, family vacation, or family reunion. It was just spectacular. The best hotel at disney, the Grand Floridian Resort. Hope that helps your website community.
