Overview

• Guests paying upwards of $700 per night report hearing conversations and hallway noise through paper-thin walls, undermining the resort’s luxury promise.
• The scattered layout forces guests to trek outdoors between buildings, which they say is exhausting in Florida’s heat and sudden rainfall.
• While monorail access provides a direct link to Magic Kingdom, visitors headed to EPCOT must transfer at the Transportation and Ticket Center and endure long waits when returning at night.
• Seasonal attractions such as the Grand Floridian’s gingerbread display draw crowds of non-guests, filling the lobby and eroding the exclusive resort atmosphere.
• Travelers point to other Deluxe properties like the Beach Club, BoardWalk Inn and Polynesian Village as offering better value, quieter accommodations and more convenient park access.
