Four Reasons to Stay at Disney's Grand Floridian

When Brian and I took Stella to Disney World, we decided to stay at a Disney Hotel, the Grand Floridian. If you’re planning a Disney trip, you’re probably trying to decide whether you should stay at a Disney resort or somewhere off-site. On one hand, you have convenience, and on the other, you could save some money. But my philosophy is that time is our most valuable currency, and thats’s one reason why I’m so glad we stayed at the Grand Floridian! I loved our stay at the Grand Floridian so much that it’s my #1 tip to having the perfect first Disney trip!

Seven Steps to the Perfect First Disney Trip

A few years ago, I took my daughter Stella to Disney World. Every year, my husband and I try to steal time away with just one of our three kids, so solo trips aren’t unusual. But when Stella was five, I just had a feeling that I needed to go on a trip, and we needed to make it extra special. It’s like some part of me knew that I needed to give her my undivided attention that week. When I did, I noticed something that I might have otherwise missed. I saw Stella transform from a little child into a young girl before my eyes.
