Impressive Grand Floridian Hotel

Snowbirding in FL gives one a little extra time from NOT shoveling snow drifts. DW & I used that time to visit and view the holiday decorations at the Grand Floridian Hotel near the Disney complex. This was a FREE event and open to the public. Talk about being awe struck. This country boy saw how the real rich folks live. The forty foot Christmas tree was amazing, but the sheer size of the complex was mind boggling. The rooms start about $650 per night and the suites are upwards of $3100 per NIGHT.

The bellhop told us that when he delivers luggage to the suites, some patrons tip him $400 or more. Imagine that! :@

    It's not near Walt Disney...... It is right smack dab in the middle of Disney on their property..... The Disney Monorail from the Magic Kingdom only stops a 3 hotels ... The Contemporary first.... Then the TTC...the Polynesian .... And then the Grand Floridian...
    The Grand Floridian actually has a separate wedding chapel due to all the folks that want to go there and get hitched....

    It is nice , but if I ever go there without my camper , I will stay in the Wilderness Lodge...
    That is more my cup of tea.....
