Well done. We appreciate the looks you have provided. Any pictures however can't fully capture the magnificent views you were treated too.

This was our beautiful room in the Grand Floridian main building. Room 4421. The first picture shows our room from the outside of the building.

It is a deluxe king room. It’s one of the turret rooms with a ton of windows and amazing views. Hard to tell in some of the pictures, but in the distance we could see the castle, the Contempory, the Wilderness Lodge, the Poly, Spaceship Earth, the GF pools, the monorail — all from the same room. Plus, it’s on the 4th floor just down the hall from the RPC lounge. So perfect in every way.

Awesome room! Love the pics, thanks for sharing .

So true! Pictures never do it justice...but it is certainly amazing to see in person! Unfortunately, the word is out on the Deluxe King turret rooms so getting one is like winning the lottery now! Tons of people have been asking for Disney to create a separate booking category for these rooms for years, but of course it will come with a much higher price tag if and when they do!

I already shared these photos in the club level thread, but wanted to post here as well!

We were in that same room about 8 or 9 years ago! It’s still one of my favorites. I also may or may not have spilled a big glass of wine right outside the door, but I see the carpet has been replaced since then.


(They actually did a great job of cleaning it up while we were there. I felt really bad!!)

If I want to use the day bed (to let DS6 sleep on it as he does somersault at night), do I need to call house keeping for extra sheet/blanket/pillow, or are those already stored in the room? Is it easy to turn the sofa into a bed?? Never used it before. TIA.

The pillow and blanket will be in the closet (or a drawer) and the sheets will be on the bed. If your room doesn't have everything that you need then you can call housekeeping and they will bring it to your room.

Excited we’ll be back at GF SL next summer! Just booked yesterday for DH’s 40th!! I’m looking forward to seeing the improvements they’re making to the building!

When does the Gingerbread house go up during the holidays?

It starts about a week before Thanksgiving.

Thank you so much for posting these!! I have a king deluxe main building room booked for next month and there are so few pictures, love it! I already sent in a request for a 4th or 5th floor room, crossing my fingers for this one because it's absolutely amazing.

Just upgraded our August trip to the Grand Floridian. I found an amazing rate through a TA and we decided to splurge since we have 2 trips to Magic Kingdom and it's only 3 nights. We booked the lowest category of Outer Building - Garden View. I see online it says, 2 Queens or 1 King Bed, but when I look on TP I don't see a King Bed as an option for that category. Are King Beds only for accessible rooms? We would prefer a King Bed as we have a young son who will use a crib, but in honesty, we are so excited to be staying here, we really won't care.

Also, do the outer buildings have entrances at either of the long ends?

Hope you have a great time! The GF is a great resort, but RPC is just amazing!

Congrats on the great discount! I can't answer about the king beds, but wanted to say I hope you have a great trip .

Here are a couple pics of where the entrances are:

The outer buildings have fire exits which we regularly use as a shortcut into the buildings. They are especially handy to use when your room is close to this exit and you don’t mind climbing a few stairs. The fire exit in Big Pine Key is close to the main building and the fire exit for Conch Key is close to Gasparillas.

Perfect. Yes, we usually request ground floor, so my thought is to request one of the end rooms. Assuming you can enter through these fire exits

I am heading over the end of august. We have two lagoon view rooms booked and would like have them connected. What building would you recommend? I need balconies, although I think all the rooms have them correct?
