When visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, there are a lot of benefits to staying at a Disney resort. Guests of Walt Disney World have access to longer theme park hours, enjoy the style and service Disney offers around the clock and can take advantage of Disney World's transportation system. The most convenient and comfortable of Disney's free guest transportation is the monorail that runs from the Magic Kingdom park through a few select resorts.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Since 1997, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been referred to by Disney as the "flagship" of Disney resorts because of its luxury accommodations and amenities. The Victorian-inspired resort lies on Disney's Seven Seas Lagoon. Across the lagoon you can see the towering spires of Cinderella's castle at the Magic Kingdom, and if you come home early from the park you can see the fireworks show from the resort grounds. On the premises you will find a world-class spa, a state-of-the-art health club, two sparkling pools, white sand beaches, water craft rentals and a game room open 24 hours. The monorail station is connected to the main building.
