Grand Floridian, Walt Disney World

We spent four nights at the Grand Floridian in March.  I have always wanted to stay in this wonderful hotel, and thanks to my cast member daughter, we finally had the opportunity! Our first video has been posted too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T82WnE9sQKk Be sure to watch!   We stayed in Sugar Loaf, which is the concierge building.  The rooms were very nice.  I was not able to get pictures of our room.  🙁  The concierge room was actually an area in the main lobby….they had food offerings available throughout the day.  Alcoholic beverages were also available….all we had to do to was ask! The interior of the main building is beautiful.  In the evenings, there is live jazz music on the balcony overlooking the first floor and during the day, there is live piano music. And if you look closely, you will find several wonderful mosaics on the floor….next time you go, see if you can find them! This hotel has two pools.  The larger of the two has a hot tub, but does not have a life guard.  The other pool has a fun kids water area with a large hat that dumps water.  And a VERY fun slide! We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Disney property and hope to return someday.

This is the best pool in DisneyWorld!

I just moved my youngest daughter from Disneyland to DisneyWorld.  Yes…you read that right…moved her!  She works for Disney and was transferring to Florida.  Living the dream! The drive took us five days.  Luckily, we had perfect weather.  Totally unlike what I left behind in Idaho, where we are experiencing the worst winter in 80 years.  I will post more on that later.  Right now, I am can’t wait to share where we stayed in DisneyWorld! Since Erin works for Disney, we were able to stay at the Disney Beach Club Resort and enjoyed the #1 pool in the property.  DisneyAddicts just posted an article rating the top 10 pools at DisneyWorld. http://www.disneyaddicts.com/top-7-resort-swimming-pools-disney-world-8901/ This is the view from our room of the pool.  We got in a little too late that night to take advantage of it, but believe me…we did the following day!   I also took a few pictures of the lobby.  This is a wonderful hotel and worth every penny! We found this adorable picture in our room also.  I just love Disney! Here are a few photos of the room I pulled from the Disney website.  They even had hidden Mickey’s in the shower curtain!  We had a small balcony with chairs and a table where we could enjoy the sunset.  And let me tell you about those beds….like sleeping on a cloud!
