Our final stop on our first full day was at, in my opinion, the most beautiful resort on Disney property. The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is Disney's flagship resort. It is absolutely overrun with Victorian-style class and sophistication.
When you enter through the main lobby entrance, the fragrance of sweetness and the live orchestra plays ragtime, jazz and popular Disney tunes, just sweeps you away to a time long ago, evoking Palm Beach’s golden era.
Talk about convenience, it is just one stop (at the Polynesian) to Magic Kingdom park on the complimentary Resort Monorail, which puts you in a prime location for your park visits. You also have the option of complimentary boat and bus transportation.
I have to say that when I first came here years ago to dine at 1900 Park Fare, I was blown away by the beauty of this resort. It is white glove first class all the way. However, it does NOT feel stuffy or pretentious to me at all.

1900 Park Fare
This wraps up day 1 activities for our AEP. After we left the resort, we headed out on our own to enjoy the parks. My group of girls headed to Hollywood Studios to take in the new Toy Story Land. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't feeling well as I brought a bit of a sinus infection with me and it was turning into a bronchitis-like chest thing. The weather was COLD (in the 40s) so that wasn't helping. Regardless, I did hang in long enough to ride Slinky Dog Dash and it was SO worth it. When we return in April, I plan to really take full advantage of the new additions to Hollywood Studios. Below are a few sneak peek photos of Hollywood Studios.
