Just came back from Disney World, and I wanted to share some pics from the resort I stayed in.


This is The Gran Floridian. I took the pic from Magic Kingdom.



Inside the Lobby. The tree was beautiful.


The Gingerbread house. It was a gift shop too.




Going to my room.

more to come

View from my balcony. We had a nice view to the Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom. We saw the fireworks every night.



Another view from my balcony


and last the beach at The Gran Floridian (sorry I didn't take a pic from the main pool)


It was a nice vacation, even though I had to fly to Orlando. At the airport I saw a basketball player on his way to Cincinnati and when I came back I saw the guys from Miami Ink. At Animal Kingdom I saw a Spanish telenovela actor. I was standing next to him at the Expedition Everest ride.


I just want to share one more pic and that's the Christmas tree at Animal Kingdom. I want you guys to see the beautiful decorations on the tree. It's a little bit big so I'm just going to post the link.

Ami is hot
but he has a girlfriend. I know this because he was kissing her.
She's so lucky.

Thanks! I had a great time. I went to all 4 parks except the 2 water parks. (it was too cold for us South Floridians) I went to Ice at the Gaylord Palms Resort. The resort is beautiful and Ice was nice. It was 9 degrees in there.
I don't know how people up north do it but I was in there for 10 minutes and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't feel my lips and my cheeks and ears were still cold an hour after I left.

Jenny82, the resort is beautiful but it's expensive. Especially during the high season. The only bad thing about The Gran Floridian is that it is far from all the parks except Magic Kingdom.

Thanks everyone!

Beautiful pictures!!! I've always wanted to stay in the Floridian, but just never have. It's always looked so beautiful from the outside - like a little piece of vacation heaven.
