and ironing board, nightstand, telephone (with an additional one
in the bathroom), ceiling fan, hairdryer, Mickey lamp, make-up mirror
and double marble sinks in a vanity area separate from the tub and
commode. In the vanity area, toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner,
body lotion, and shower cap are found and there is a retractable
clothesline in the shower. The rooms are decorated in 4 themes with
Victorian wood furnishings. These themes are the Cameo (blues and
yellows with the Blue Fairy, Flora, Fauna and Merriweather), Swan
(Mr. Toad and his Wind in the Willow friends provide the theme for
the accents), Floral (greens and yellows) and Alice in Wonderland
(Wonderland-themed with blues, dark rose and yellows). There
are also 3 "historic" rooms, which reflect the design
of the rooms originally found here, prior to the most recent remodeling.
2 of these historic rooms are located in the main building, and
1 is located in the Boca Chino building. Most rooms lead out
onto a patio or balcony. A typical guestroom sleeps 5, but the Lodge
Tower and Concierge Deluxe rooms sleep 4. Dormer or "attic"
rooms at the Grand Floridian are in the upper floors under the gabled
roofs. These rooms are slightly smaller than the Standard guest-rooms
but appear larger because the vaulted ceilings. A private balcony
compensates for the lack of room size. Dormer rooms sleep 4 adults.
There are 26 one,two,and
three-bedroom suites available. Suites have two queen sized beds,
or one king sized bed, and a separate parlor area with a wet bar.
These rooms can sleep between 4 and 10 adults, depending on the
suite type. These suites may include a hamper and upscale line of
toiletries in the bathrooms, padded satin hangers, and larger screen
televisions.
There are 6 honeymoon
rooms in the towers of the main building. The Jacuzzi honeymoon
rooms have a Jacuzzi tub of course, and a balcony, but no wet bar
or walk-in closet. Octagon honeymoon rooms are larger than the Jacuzzi
rooms, but do not have the Jacuzzi tub or private balcony. Instead,
you'll find a spectacular view with windows all the way around the
suite.
TIP: You don't
have to be on your honeymoon to enjoy a honeymoon suite, it's perfect
for anniversary or second honeymoon trips too. Note that these rooms
only accommodate 2 guests.
