just want to share my recent experience on a surprising upgrade at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
My booking was for a Main Building Standard Club Room. I checked in online around 20 days mark. My room request was just the first available room with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed, which is the standard configuration for that particular room category. I arrived at GF around 8am. The room was not ready at the time so I stored my luggages at the Bell Desk and went to the park.
Around 1pm, I received a room ready text. The text said “Room 4001 on the 5th floor”. I then looked up the room location on TouringPlans......... I could not believe what TP’s map shown for room 4001..... it’s the Grand Suite!!! Probably the biggest room on WDW property. I told myself there must be something wrong with TP’s map. It’s just not possible!! So I did not want to believe it until I saw the room with my own eyes...
(Will post pics later)
So this is room 4001 at the Grand Floridian: 2200 sq ft, two rooms, 2.5 bath, one King, two twins...bigger than my real home. My family stayed at this beautiful presidential suite for the past 5 days... this must be what it feels like to win the lottery.
My friends and family kept asking me how and why my family got to stay there. My only answer is that “God is good.”
