Transportation

Bus transportation is provided to all Disney World guest areas.

Monorail Transportation is available to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Transportation and Ticket Center, Polynesian Village Resort, and the Contemporary Resort.

Boat transportation is available to the Magic Kingdom.

You can walk directly to the Magic Kingdom from the Grand Floridian via the new sidewalk and bridge between the two. It is roughly 0.7 miles from the lobby to the security checkpoint at the Magic Kingdom.

Overnight Parking – DVC Members will not be charged for standard overnight self-parking when staying at a DVC Deluxe Villa, regardless of whether they use vacation points or another form of payment.

Note this charge is initiated for all nights of your stay either by telling the front desk that you have a vehicle when checking in or by using your room key/Magic Band to enter the parking lot. If you will not be parking every night (say you have a rental car for just a dat or so) coordinate this with the front desk.

Valet service is $33 per night (sales tax included). Note: due to ongoing staffing shortages, valet service is only available to those with a valid disability parking permit.

Our Thoughts

MDT Tested

This Disney Resort Hotel is a Military Disney Tips Tested Resort!

We had the opportunity to stay at the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in the summer of 2018 during the Toy Story Land opening event for Travel Agents and Press. The room was wonderful, we could watch the monorail going by. The single stop while riding the monorail to the Magic Kingdom was awesome!

This Resort is Disney World’s priciest!

It should be noted that in recent years the monorail has become less than reliable due to maintenance and staffing issues, and you are paying a big premium to stay on the monorail loop! See our recent experience in the Our Thoughts section of the Polynesian Village Resort Page.

Note: we were kindly offered 1 complementary night and then 2 more at a highly discounted rate by Disney for the event.
