Hi TPF's! Thanks for another fantastic video. This resort is so beautiful. I feel like my favorite will always be the Polynesian, but they are all so nice I hope you guys are safe and doing well in Central Florida. This time of year is always kinda scary. Take care of each other and Frank ❤
It was so beautiful, we had so much footage to sift through that it took so long to edit. Polynesian truly feels like you're not in Florida anymore. We are doing well, moved this weekend and beat the rain! Frank is loving the new house and he'll be in our home vlog out next week. Thanks so much for the well wishes.
Beautiful resort, love the artwork. Nachos looked great! Agree the colors/font of the shirt in shop definitely Eras tour vibes. Great vlog to start the week ❤ 😊
The nachos surprised us! The resort is definitely Disney's most picturesque. Sam actually has an Eras Tour Disney Princesses shirt. Thank you 🙂. We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to stay here.
I remember going there as a kid in the 90s and they had little birds in the big bird cage in the lobby. We stayed there for the 50th anniversary of WDW (unexpected upgrade because the hotel I had booked had not reopened post-COVID) and, while the room (pre-update) didn’t impress us, Grand Flo’s common spaces are classy and comfortable. Nice comprehensive overview guys!
Oh my gosh, that is so cool and something we did not know. Nice that you got an upgrade! The lobby and grounds are spectacular. Thanks so much for watching.
We feel so lucky and privileged to be able to make this video. Happy we got the best building. Thank you for helping to make our #1 bucket list stay a reality 🙂.
Great video, as always. Although the pianist in the lobby is nice, I really miss the orchestra that used to perform nightly on the balcony near Enchanted Rose that you pointed out. If Grand Floidian ever offers an extremely aggressive discount, I'll definitely book a stay there.
Another great video! Y'all give such great detailed info, I love it. From what I understand, when they redid Big Pine Key into DVC resort studios, they modeled it after Mary Poppins Returns, so it's got Jack and 3 kids. I'm staying there in January, can't wait
Hi Sam and Jay! We absolutely loved this video ❤ Although we have never stayed there, The Grand Floridian has always been our favorite Resort to visit, we love the architecture, the food and the ambiance 🤩 We briefly met you a few months ago, at the lobby, you were buying some snacks for your Easter treats vlog, I was in line to buy a delicious cross bun and you where at the register, we said hi to each other, I just told you we love your channel, I was to shy to introduce myself 😊 Thank you very much for always bringing us along!
Thank you so much! I remember that :) I hope if you see us in the future that you'll stop and chat, but I also totally understand. I am shy too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment.
Love this hotel. It holds a special place in our heart because it is the hotel where we got married. we took all our photos on the second floor in front of the chandelier and we even stayed there, upgraded us to the grand tower,monorail view and told it was John Stamos favorite room. I remember your Polynesian trip because we were also there. and looking for apartments when you guys were there. It is also where we told you that Christina was pregnant. Both are amazing hotels that hold a special place in my heart
Sometimes it's all about the memories made but the resort definitely helps to make those memories. We'll never forget our stay here. You guys had such a beautiful wedding. The Polynesian was the bridge to our move and we never thought it'd be in our top 5 before that trip. We still think Lucas was conceived in The Cabins 😆.
Glad you got to stay there. Wifey and I have been going to the GF for the last 20+ years at least 2 times a year. We always stay in the Sugar Loaf building, concierge. What a great place to stay. Be back at the GF in Oct for the Food and Wine Fest. Yes, you must do Vic and Al's when you get the chance. We have been there 7 times and loved it every time. Love Narcoosies, Citricos and Enchanted Rose, formally known as Mizners Lounge. We knew all the band members also. RIP to Pat our friend who played the drums for 30 years in Disney. What a wonderful human being. Always enjoy your vids, keep em coming...
Wow! You guys are living the dream! Such a stunning resort and can definitely see why this is your go-to Disney Resort. One day we'll get to Victoria and Albert's. We also really need to get back to Enchanted Rose. We actually really enjoyed our time there years back. Very sorry to learn about the loss of your friend. My he rest in peace and happiness. So happy you enjoy the videos 🙂. We'll keep them coming!
I’m so glad you got to stay there! We splurged last year and added 2 nights at the DVC there to our Saratoga DVC stay and I actually cried when we got there to check in because I never thought I’d get to stay there. It was great. Since them daughter & son in law joined DVC and grand is there home resort now lol
It was a dream come true for sure. My cousins are DVC with Grand as their home resort. I think if we joined we would chose Disneyland hotel 😊 We toured the new tower last trip and it was incredible.
I love resort tour videos and once again you did a great job :). The room looks lovely. We had the chance to stay at the GF in 2017 for our DD 21st bday. It ended up being a crazy stay where we were upgraded to main building concierge! Long story ... but a fun one lol. Now for questions? Do you think they will be doing more refurb to the main lobby? Or was it done? It looks very similar to 2017. The rooms are very different obviously. Truly loved the video. Like you, I too have a bucket list of staying at every hotel! I like them all for different reasons. Hard to pick a best :)
Sometimes I feel like I go overboard with the resort tour info so reading this meant a lot. Sounds like an awesome trip! I honestly don't know if they're going all in on the lobby now with the refurbishment. From what I've heard, they were originally going to rip out the Italian Marble floors. I'm hoping that got scrapped. Although there are aspects of the newer design we enjoy. Definitely hard to pick the best. There are certainly hotels that are better than others but when you get to the high caliber resorts like these it really is personal preference. We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to stay here and we're so grateful. Thanks so much for your kindness 🙂.
Can you provide a link to your enchanted rose video please? I looked twice and can’t find it thanks!!! We will be there in 2 weeks for the first time!! Super excited
Hi Damian, it’s 3 years old & not a great video, but here is the link - th-cam.com/video/SN85E9dMtec/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WAF69dU-xHOdSmFf it was mixed in with a review of The Wave but there are time stamps in the description of the video to which part has Enchanted Rose 🌹 Hope you have a great time!
@@ThemeParkFoodies thank you so much! Me and my girl love your Orlando food reviews the best!!! Having dinner at Narcoissees for the first time in about 12 days!! Super excited!!!
Contemporary resort Pixar hotel in Anaheim Yatch club Disneyland hotel in Paris Grand Floridian Art of animation Caribbean beach Coronado springs My ranking
The Hotel Del Coronado mimicked exterior architecture and the interior Victorian Era ashtetic is renowned by fans and designers. I think there's an argument to be had about the offerings or just how many people are staying here but to each their own.
Another great video! Thank you guys
So happy you enjoyed! Thanks so much for your support 🙂
Loved your review. You are a darling couple. The Grand Floridian Resort is stunning and is our personal favorite!
Thank you so much Mary ❤️ We can definitely see why it’s your favorite 😊
This is a great detailed review love it thus us a beautiful hotel bit i agree with the Poly. Thank you and your friends ❤
Thank you! All Disney resorts are unique and amazing in their own ways :)

beautiful landscapes 😍the grounds are gorgeous and the carpets and tile floor is perfectly grand
Really is so stunning :)
Beautiful video. great tour and you had the best building at the GF..
We feel so lucky and privileged to be able to make this video. Happy we got the best building. Thank you for helping to make our #1 bucket list stay a reality 🙂.
That's is a great tour of Disney hotels 😊😊😊
thanks so much 😊
Great video, as always. Although the pianist in the lobby is nice, I really miss the orchestra that used to perform nightly on the balcony near Enchanted Rose that you pointed out. If Grand Floidian ever offers an extremely aggressive discount, I'll definitely book a stay there.
Thank you! The building was meant for music and it's sad they've cut the orchestra.
Looking forward to watching this video! We are vacationing on Cape Cod it’s very beautiful here! God bless you two!! ❤🙏💕🏖️🏖️🏖️
That sounds so lovely- have a great time! God bless.
That’s where I’m from. Have fun!

Always!!!!

@@ThemeParkFoodies not a bad idea. The DL DVCs are so hard to get into you have to own there to get in
We are definitely staying at the Grand next January. It has long been one of my favorite resorts.
Awesome!!! It’s so dreamy 🥰

I booked December 17-21🎉
It’s even more gorgeous during the holidays! Hope you have an amazing stay.
Such a beautiful resort, hoping the tower next door is not an eyesore.
I hope so too :(
Contemporary resort

Yatch club
Disneyland hotel in Paris
Grand Floridian
Art of animation
Caribbean beach
Coronado springs
My ranking
Great list, we hope to stay at all of these some day!
Grand indeed
The fanciest ✨
Yes Kokomo I just watched it grand Floridian
Great song!
Great video. Sam needs to speak up though. (I think her name is Sam). I can’t hear anything she says.
Appreciate the feedback. I have a meek voice, I'll try to be more cognizant of it.
Glad there were no birds in the cage. Now stop using the poor dolphins at Epcot
Honestly, style-wise, I just don’t get the hype. It doesn’t look like it should be so expensive.
The Hotel Del Coronado mimicked exterior architecture and the interior Victorian Era ashtetic is renowned by fans and designers. I think there's an argument to be had about the offerings or just how many people are staying here but to each their own.
Don’t forget, you mostly pay for the location. Near Mk with fire works view from the hotel
