57 Days to Go: Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

And with this entry, my Disney Hotel series ends. The final installment is the last of the "Big Three" and considered the Disney flagship resort: the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

The resort is designed to model those of the Victorian era, ones the rich would've flocked to for a summer along the beach. It is known by its white walls and red roofs and can be spotted along the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon. The lodges that hold the rooms are named after islands in the Florida Keys. The Grand Floridian also hosts the wedding chapel on the Disney property (though it costs an arm and a leg to get married there!).

In keeping with the Victorian theme, the main dining experience there is Victoria & Albert's, named after the royal couple. There is also a spa contained within the grounds.

Like the other "Big Three," the Grand Floridian is located on the monorail line. It is also a Magic Kingdom resort and considered in the "deluxe" price range.
