Overview
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the newest addition to the growing Disney Vacation Club portfolio, delivers the charm and splendor of the Victorian Era coupled with fun, classic Disney touches to meet the family vacation style that only Disney Vacation Club can provide. Nearby the picturesque white-sand shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, the new villas are only steps away from a monorail ride to the enchanting Magic Kingdom Park and steps away from the various world-class amenities available at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the flagship Walt Disney World resort experience.
