Grand Floridian Video Tours
The Grand Floridian is Disney's flagship luxury resort, and the DVC villas here carry a price tag to match. The new DVC tower opened in 2022 as a separate building from the original resort, with modern rooms and its own pool. You're on the monorail loop with walking distance to Magic Kingdom, which puts Grand Floridian in the same elite location tier as Bay Lake Tower and the Polynesian.
Contracts expire in 2064, giving you about 38 years. Resale prices run $160 to $185 per point, the most expensive of any WDW DVC resort. Annual dues are around $8.31 per point. For a 150-point contract, you're looking at roughly $25,000 to $28,000 upfront plus about $1,247 per year in dues.
Disney exercises ROFR very aggressively on Grand Floridian contracts, especially anything priced under $165 per point. This is one of the hardest resorts to get through ROFR. We always advise buyers to price their offers accordingly or risk losing the contract and waiting another few months for a new one.
The dining here is the best on Walt Disney World property. Victoria & Albert's is the only AAA Five Diamond restaurant in Central Florida, and Narcoossee's sits right on Seven Seas Lagoon with fireworks views. The resort's white-sand beach gives you a front-row seat to the Electrical Water Pageant every night. If you want the most prestigious DVC address and you're willing to pay for it, this is how DVC works.

Grand Floridian Annual Dues
Maintenance fees per point, 2021 to 2026
Dues have risen about 22% since 2021 (6 years). Compare every resort on our annual dues page.
Grand Floridian Annual Dues (2026)
Despite being the most prestigious DVC resort, the Grand Floridian actually has some of the most competitive annual dues in the system at $8.31 per point. That is lower than Bay Lake Tower, Polynesian, and most other deluxe-tier resorts. The reason is that the DVC villas at the Grand Floridian occupy a dedicated building (Big Pine Key) that was purpose-built for DVC, keeping the condominium association's operating costs efficient. Dues are billed once per year in January and typically increase 3% to 5% annually.
| Contract Size | Per-Point Dues | Annual Total |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Points | $8.31 | $831 |
| 150 Points | $8.31 | $1,247 |
| 200 Points | $8.31 | $1,662 |
Location & Transportation
The Grand Floridian sits on the shore of Seven Seas Lagoon, directly on the Resort Monorail loop and within walking distance of Magic Kingdom. It is Disney's flagship resort, modeled after Victorian-era coastal estates, and its white gabled roofline is one of the most recognizable silhouettes at Walt Disney World. The DVC villas are located in the Big Pine Key building, which sits at the far end of the resort closest to the Polynesian Village.
Walking to Magic Kingdom: Disney completed a dedicated walking path from the Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom in 2014. The walk takes about 10 minutes along a landscaped path that runs beside Seven Seas Lagoon, with views of Cinderella Castle as you approach. It is well-lit for nighttime returns after fireworks. The Grand Floridian is one of only three DVC resorts where you can walk to Magic Kingdom.
Monorail: The Grand Floridian has its own dedicated monorail station. The Resort Monorail loop connects to Magic Kingdom (one stop, roughly 3 minutes), the Polynesian Village (one stop), the Contemporary/Bay Lake Tower, and the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). From the TTC, you can transfer to the Epcot Monorail line and reach Epcot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Having two transportation options to Magic Kingdom (walk plus monorail) and monorail access to Epcot gives the Grand Floridian unmatched convenience among DVC resorts.
Boat service: Resort launches run from the Grand Floridian marina to Magic Kingdom throughout the day. The boat ride takes about 10 minutes and docks right at the park entrance. It is a relaxing alternative to walking or taking the monorail, especially after a long day in the park.
Bus service: Complimentary buses run to Hollywood Studios (15 min), Animal Kingdom (20 min), Disney Springs (15 min), Typhoon Lagoon, and Blizzard Beach. Buses operate from one hour before park opening until one hour after park closing.
Grand Floridian DVC Room Types
The DVC villas at the Grand Floridian are located in the Big Pine Key building, a dedicated DVC structure designed to match the resort's Victorian architecture. Every villa features marble bathrooms, hardwood-style flooring, a private balcony, and furnishings inspired by the resort's turn-of-the-century elegance. View categories include Standard (garden, rooftop, or parking), Lake View (Seven Seas Lagoon), and Theme Park View (Magic Kingdom and fireworks).
| Room Type | Sleeps | Size (sq ft) | Points/Night (Avg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Studio | 5 | 356 | 16-33 |
| Resort Studio | 5 | 443 | 18-39 |
| One-Bedroom Villa | 5 | 844 | 30-56 |
| Two-Bedroom Villa | 9 | 1,232 | 42-80 |
| Grand Villa (3BR) | 12 | 2,044 | 68-128 |
The Resort Studio is unique to the Grand Floridian. It is a larger version of the Deluxe Studio at 443 square feet (vs 356 for the standard studio) and includes a small sitting area, a larger bathroom, and a walk-in closet. It requires slightly more points per night but offers a noticeably more spacious experience for couples or small families. The Grand Villa is a stunning three-bedroom penthouse suite with a formal dining room, full kitchen, and panoramic views of Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom.

Recreation & Amenities at the Grand Floridian
The Grand Floridian is Disney's most complete resort experience. The combination of world-class dining, a full-service spa, multiple pool areas, and the Victorian theming creates an atmosphere that feels like a destination in itself. Many DVC members spend entire days at the resort without ever visiting a theme park.
Pools
The resort has two pool areas. The Courtyard Pool is the main feature pool with a 181-foot waterslide, a zero-entry section, a children's splash area, and poolside cabanas available for rent. It overlooks Seven Seas Lagoon with views of Magic Kingdom across the water. The Beach Pool is a quieter secondary pool closer to the lake, popular with guests who want a more relaxed setting. Both pools have complimentary towels, lounge chairs, and poolside food and beverage service.
Dining (14 Venues)
The Grand Floridian has more restaurant options than any other resort at Walt Disney World. Victoria & Albert's is Florida's only AAA Five Diamond restaurant, offering a prix fixe multicourse dinner in an intimate 60-seat dining room. It is a true special-occasion experience. Narcoossee's sits on the waterfront with seafood-focused cuisine and direct fireworks views from the patio. Citricos features Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in an elegant setting. 1900 Park Fare is a character buffet where families can meet Cinderella and friends. The Grand Floridian Cafe serves American comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enchanted Rose is a Beauty and the Beast-themed lounge with craft cocktails and small plates. Gasparilla Island Grill is the counter-service option with pizza, sandwiches, and bakery items. The resort also has several lounges, a sushi bar, and seasonal dining events throughout the year.
Senses Spa
Senses Spa at the Grand Floridian is a full-service spa and fitness center. Treatments include massages, facials, body wraps, manicures, and pedicures. The spa has a relaxation lounge, steam room, and whirlpool. There is also a fitness center with modern equipment and complimentary fitness classes. Many guests book spa treatments for the afternoon and then walk to Magic Kingdom for fireworks in the evening.
Beach & Marina
The resort has a white sand beach along Seven Seas Lagoon where guests can relax in lounge chairs, build sandcastles, and watch the Electrical Water Pageant after dark. The marina offers boat rentals including pontoon boats, Sea Raycers, and kayaks. You can also take the resort launch boat directly to Magic Kingdom's front entrance from the marina dock. In the evening, the beach is a prime viewing spot for the Magic Kingdom fireworks show, and the resort pipes in the soundtrack through outdoor speakers.
Live Entertainment
The Grand Floridian lobby features live entertainment throughout the day, including a pianist, a jazz combo, and the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra. The live music adds to the resort's elegant atmosphere and is one of the details that makes the Grand Floridian feel different from every other Disney resort.
Frequently Asked Questions: Grand Floridian DVC
Can I walk to Magic Kingdom from the Grand Floridian?
Yes. Disney completed a dedicated walking path from the Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom in 2014. The walk takes about 10 minutes along a landscaped route beside Seven Seas Lagoon, with Cinderella Castle coming into view as you approach. The path is paved, well-lit, and accessible. It is one of only three DVC resorts with a walkable path to Magic Kingdom.
Why is Grand Floridian the most expensive DVC resort on resale?
Grand Floridian commands the highest resale prices ($160 to $185 per point) because of its unmatched combination of features: monorail access to two parks, a walking path to Magic Kingdom, 14 dining venues (including Florida's only AAA Five Diamond restaurant), Victorian elegance, low annual dues ($8.31/point), and the longest remaining contract term (2064) among Walt Disney World resorts. It is the prestige resort in the DVC system, and demand consistently outpaces supply on the resale market.
When does the Grand Floridian DVC contract expire?
Grand Floridian DVC contracts expire January 31, 2064, giving buyers approximately 38 years of remaining ownership as of 2026. That is the longest remaining term among all Walt Disney World DVC resorts and one of the factors that supports the higher resale price.
What is the difference between a Deluxe Studio and a Resort Studio at the Grand Floridian?
The Resort Studio is a larger room type unique to the Grand Floridian. At 443 square feet, it is about 25% bigger than the 356 square-foot Deluxe Studio. It includes a small sitting area, a larger bathroom with a separate tub and shower, and a walk-in closet. Both room types sleep up to 5 guests. The Resort Studio requires slightly more points per night (roughly 15% to 20% more), but many owners consider the extra space well worth the point premium, especially for longer stays.
Does Disney exercise Right of First Refusal often on Grand Floridian contracts?
Yes. Disney exercises ROFR more aggressively on Grand Floridian contracts than on most other resorts. They tend to buy back contracts priced below a certain threshold to protect the value of their direct sales inventory. This means buyers should be prepared to price their offers competitively. Our team tracks ROFR activity closely and can advise you on pricing that is likely to pass while still representing good value.
What restaurants are at the Grand Floridian?
The Grand Floridian has 14 dining venues, the most of any Disney resort. Highlights include Victoria & Albert's (prix fixe fine dining, AAA Five Diamond), Narcoossee's (waterfront seafood with fireworks views), Citricos (Mediterranean), 1900 Park Fare (character buffet), Grand Floridian Cafe (American comfort food), Enchanted Rose (Beauty and the Beast lounge), and Gasparilla Island Grill (counter-service). Multiple lounges and seasonal events round out the offerings.
Is the Grand Floridian a restricted or unrestricted DVC resort?
The Grand Floridian is an unrestricted DVC resort. Resale buyers retain full booking access at all 16 DVC properties worldwide at the 7-month window, and at the Grand Floridian at the 11-month window. This is a significant advantage because the Grand Floridian is nearly impossible to book at the 7-month window due to demand. Owning here gives you the 11-month home resort advantage where it matters most.
How many points do I need for a week at the Grand Floridian?
A standard-view Deluxe Studio in Adventure Season (lowest demand) requires about 112 to 125 points per week. During Premier Season (Christmas, New Year's), that same room needs 200 to 230 points. A one-bedroom villa in the mid-range Magic Season runs 250 to 300 points per week. Theme park view rooms require 30% to 50% more points than standard view. Most owners find that 150 to 200 points covers a solid week-long trip during the moderate seasons.
How does buying Grand Floridian on resale compare to buying direct?
Buying on resale saves roughly 30% to 45% compared to Disney's current direct pricing. Resale contracts trade between $160 and $185 per point, while Disney sells Grand Floridian direct at significantly higher prices. Because it is unrestricted, resale buyers keep full booking access everywhere. The main things you give up with resale are discounts on Annual Passes, the ability to use Collection packages for non-DVC hotel stays, and access to certain member events. For most families, the savings far outweigh those trade-offs.
Does the Grand Floridian have a pool with a waterslide?
Yes. The Courtyard Pool is the main feature pool with a 181-foot waterslide, a zero-entry wading section, and a children's splash area. Poolside cabanas are available for rent. The Beach Pool is a quieter secondary option closer to Seven Seas Lagoon. Both pools have complimentary towels, lounge chairs, and food and beverage service.
Why Buy Grand Floridian DVC Resale
The Grand Floridian is the crown jewel of the DVC system. It is Disney's flagship resort, the only DVC property with 14 dining venues, and one of only three resorts where you can walk to Magic Kingdom. For families who want the very best Disney vacation experience and are willing to invest accordingly, the Grand Floridian delivers a level of luxury, convenience, and prestige that no other DVC resort can match.
From a financial standpoint, the Grand Floridian makes more sense on resale than many buyers initially realize. Yes, the per-point price is the highest in the system at $160 to $185. But the annual dues are among the lowest at $8.31 per point, which means your ongoing annual costs are very competitive. A 150-point contract at the Grand Floridian costs just $1,247 per year in dues, compared to $1,311 at Bay Lake Tower and $1,644 at Aulani. Over a 10-year period, the lower annual dues offset a meaningful portion of the higher upfront cost.
The 2064 expiration date is the longest remaining term among Walt Disney World DVC resorts. That gives you approximately 38 years of ownership. When you calculate the per-year cost of ownership (purchase price divided by remaining years, plus annual dues), the Grand Floridian actually compares favorably to resorts with shorter contract terms like Bay Lake Tower (2060) or Animal Kingdom Villas (2057).
The 11-month home resort booking advantage is especially valuable at the Grand Floridian. This resort is one of the hardest DVC properties to book at the 7-month window because demand consistently exceeds availability. If you own Grand Floridian points, you get first crack at booking during the 11-month window, which is a significant advantage for securing rooms during holidays, spring break, and summer. Owners of other DVC resorts who try to book the Grand Floridian at 7 months often find that availability is limited to off-peak dates in the lowest view categories.
One factor to be aware of: Disney exercises its Right of First Refusal (ROFR) more aggressively on Grand Floridian contracts than on most other resorts. This means that contracts priced too far below market may be bought back by Disney before the sale can close. Our team tracks ROFR activity on every DVC resort and can help you price your offer to maximize savings while maintaining a strong probability of passing.
At DVC Sales, we handle Grand Floridian resale transactions at a 6.9% commission rate, the lowest in the industry. Our brokerage has closed thousands of DVC resale contracts and our team can walk you through every step of the process, from choosing the right contract to passing ROFR to closing with a title company that specializes in Disney timeshare transfers.
