The Villas are a short walking distance from the main building of the Grand Floridian. Franck's Bridal Salon and The Wedding Pavilion are your next door neighbors here so there's always a chance you can catch some magical moments being made.
When you walk into the lobby you are greeted by this adorably Marry Poppins themed fountain. To the left are a few desks where you sit and check-in and to the right is a little seating area and of course a TV with Disney cartoons playing to keep the little ones occupied.
We made our way up to our room which was beautifully decorated in shades of mint and pale blue. We had a studio which can sleep up to 5 people! The sofa pulls into a bed as does the console-TADA!
The Console Pulls Out Into ANOTHER Bed! |
Since it's possible to sleep so many people in the smallest room offered there are 2 bathroom areas that are connected but can be closed off from one another. One central area that has the coolest sink/mirror combo ever.

There's a TV in the mirror! |
To the left is a standard shower/tub combo and the toilet. To the right is a beautiful and very large walk-in shower. You have a choice of using either the standard shower head, or the rain shower head coming in from the ceiling. What a rough way to start the day! Do I want to use the regular or rain shower head-decisions, decisions.
I wouldn't mind showering there everyday |
Directly across from the bathroom is a little wet bar area that has your standard mini-fridge, sink, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave.
As if this room weren't amazing enough check out the view of the Magic Kingdom we had!

Admittedly, I was never that big of a fan of the Grand Floridian, but the villas have totally won me over. It's in a great location. We were able to walk to the Polynesian for Tonga Toast for breakfast. Though the monorail doesn't stop at the villas, there's a quick walk in a covered walkway to the main building to catch it.
What I want to know is when can I move into this place? If anyone from Disney is reading I'd like to make one of the new villas into my own personal on property apartment!

QOTD: Have you stayed at the Grand Floridian Villas or are you planning to for an upcoming trip? What are you most looking forward to?
So glad I read your post! We've stayed at just the GF and loved it. We especially loved hearing the boats and sounds from the MK. We were going to stay at the GF villas for race weekend this year except there was 3 of us and I felt bad having someone sleep on a pull out bed ( especially after running all those days). Are the pull outs comfortable? The rooms look great!
ReplyDeleteI slept on the pullout and didn't feel any discomfort. I bet after racing all weekend most of us would pass out just about anywhere! If you have a chance to stay here I would definitely suggest it!
