Concierge "You can't pick a more dreamily convenient Disney hotel—it's a single monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom, and four from Epcot."
Fodor's "The view across the lake to the Magic Kingdom is spectacular, day or night, as you can see the colors change on the Cinderella Castle along with the fireworks." Full review

"The Grand Floridian, Disney's crown jewel, is as elegant as it is expensive." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This opulent Victorian-style resort features a magnificent five-story lobby topped by an ornate stained-glass dome."
Rough Guide "Gabled roofs, verandas and crystal chandeliers are among the frivolous variations on early Florida resort architecture at Disney’s most upmarket hotel, complete with a full-service spa."
Michelin Guide "Disney's most luxurious property is a Victorian-era waterside complex set on 40 acres along Magic Kingdom's monorail route."

Don't miss the dingin at Citricos or Victoria & Albert's (one of the best restaurants in Florida) and take advantage of the hotel's proximity to Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Travel + Leisure "Just like the resort it’s housed in, the spa is meant to evoke the feel of a turn-of-the-20th-century escape." Full review
Gayot "The splendor of Florida's high society, resort living of the early 1900s recalls the atmosphere of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel."
