A grand hotel with gabled roofs and Victorian balustrades typical of the fabled Florida beach resorts of the 19th century is among Walt Disney World's themed resort adventures.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, nestled on the picturesque shores of Seven Seas Lagoon between Magic Kingdom and Disney's Polynesian Resort, welcomed its first modern-day time-travelers in mid-1988.

The 867-room hotel featuring complete resort facilities recalls the days when John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison and even President Theodore Roosevelt led the annual winter pilgrimage to the land of friendly sunshine, where rowboats and palm fans replaced snow shoes and pot-belly stoves. Canary palms, southern magnolias and richly colored gardens complete the historic theme.

Often referred to as "the jewel in the crown" of Disney's Vacation Kingdom, the Grand Floridian also may be the
first resort of its kind since the golden era of Henry M. Flagler and Henry Plant. But this time, it has all the advantages of 21st century living -- including monorail service that stops right beside the 19th century Grand
Lobby.

Complementing the guest accommodations are restaurants, lounges, snack bars, an arcade, a "Mouseketeer
Club" child-care facility, shopping, swimming pools, children's playground, marina, beauty salon and 9,000-
square-foot spa and health club. The luxurious, full-service spa offers an array of fitness and beauty
treatments from seaweed body wraps to aromatherapy.

Like Disney's other resorts, the Grand Floridian has a distinctive theme that carries through architecture,
landscape, furnishings and costumes.

The style of the buildings is reminiscent of the Victorian era but is more playful and relaxed -- embellished by intricate lattice work and balustrades and 120 miles of scrolls, turnposts and curved moldings. Snow-white
towers and red-shingle roofs make a dramatic first impression on guests.

The resort accommodations are among the most luxurious on Disney property. The concierge and suite rooms
with private elevator access in the 225,000-square-foot Sugar Loaf Key building include in-room facilities such
as a wet bar and lavish decor. One of the resort's five lodge buildings also features personal concierge service.

In the main building, the third-floor concierge lobby includes three guest-services desks designed to provide personalized services such as check-in/check-out, reservations, information, etc. The fourth-floor concierge
lobby includes a quiet seating area where guests can enjoy, at no additional charge, continental breakfasts
and evening cocktails. The fifth-floor suite lobby features a bookcase filled with a wide variety of reading materials.

Throughout the hotel, guestroom decor, as it did a century ago, enhances the atmosphere of a refuge from
harsh winters and the hectic big-city pace. Features include soft, spring-like colors and printed wall coverings, armoires and other furnishings in light woods, marble-top sinks with old-fashion fittings, and Victorian woodwork.

Most rooms include two queen-size beds plus a day bed. Suites include a parlor plus one to three bedrooms.

An open-cage elevator, aviary, palms and ferns set the mood in the sitting area of the Grand Lobby, which
reaches five stories to a Victorian ceiling adorned with three illuminated stained-glass domes, ornate
chandeliers and metal scrolls.

Shops carry on the theme in displays featuring turn-of-the-century toys and clothing.

Dining opportunities at the Grand Floridian are diverse -- from top-your-own burgers at Gasparilla Grill and
Games to intimate, candlelight, gourmet dinners at Victoria & Albert's, with elegant service fit for royalty.
The largest restaurant is Citricos featuring sun-drenched Provenal colors and an open-air kitchen. 1900 Park
Fare hosts character dining at breakfast and dinner plus the popular Wonderland Tea Party. Grand Floridian
Cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

All major dining locations are in the main building except Narcoosee's, a seafood restaurant on a romantic
shoreline location. Octagon-shaped and open-beamed, Narcoosee's features a show kitchen where cooks
broil, steam, saut} and smoke the catches of the day.

Hotel recreation is water-oriented -- white sand beaches on Seven Seas Lagoon, a marina with rental craft
and a children's playground. Beach Pool offers guests a natural springs setting complete with a waterfall
flowing from a 27-foot-tall stone mountain. For the most lavish water experience, the Grand 1 offers a
pampered VIP boating experience on Seven Seas Lagoon overlooking Magic Kingdom. The 44-foot Sea Ray
yacht sails on morning, afternoon or evening excursions, featuring a fireworks display above Magic Kingdom
on select evenings. For the ultimate cruise, private butler service and on-board gourmet dining is available.

A full-service spa and health club pampers guests with a variety of personalized treatments including massage therapy, body treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures. Men's and women's sauna, steam room, whirlpool
and workout room round out the amenities.

Victoria and Albert's

Frette linens, Riedel crystal, Christofle silver from France -- and the chef still wears a traditional toque as he stops by
tables to chat with diners.

With fair-weather clouds painted on the ceiling, soft lighting and a celestial harpist, Victoria & Albert's serene
dining room embodies a spirit of luxury and romance. Located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at Walt Disney World Resort, it's the only AAA Five-Diamond restaurant in Central Florida.

With just 15 tables in the main dining room and the private Fireplace Room with five tables, you instantly know you're in for a treat as your host and hostess start their butler-style service. Described as a nostalgic trip back
in time when the ritual of dining out was civilized and lavish, Chef Scott Hunnel and his culinary team prepare modern American cuisine with the best-of-the-best from around the world.

You're handed a seven-course, seasonal menu, customized daily by Chef Hunnel. Here food is an art form, featuring vivid colors and textures, with exquisite wine pairings offered with each course. Nothing could be
more simply extravagant than seared Hudson Valley foie gras over vanilla-scented brioche with Fuji apples and apple cider reduction. Hunnel's signature dishes change, but you'll often find favorites like dayboat diver scallops over a polenta cake with Zellwood corn coulis and a trendy roasted red pepper foam.

Hunnel, who started out as a dishwasher at Lum's in Chicago, is at the top of his game, and his standards
rival those of the finest restaurants worldwide. He is friends with a farmer in Ohio who grows herbs and lettuces especially for the restaurant. And much of the early afternoon is spent on the phone with purveyors -- "from fishermen on the boat to find out when bluefin tuna will be landing to the guy who grades and procures the
finest caviars in the world," said Hunnel.

But for Hunnel the best part of the job is his carefully chosen team. "I work with passionate people who understand the continuous evolution of food and wine, who never settle for anything less than excellence,"
said Hunnel. There are 13 in the kitchen, from beginners just out of culinary school to veterans of other
Five-Diamond restaurants.

The restaurant's wine cellar has been recognized by Wine Spectator magazine with an "Award of Excellence."
With more than 700 selections on the menu and 4,200 in the cellar, the sommeliers can match any of Hunnel's imaginative creations, from a rich Monticello Rioja Reserva to compliment herb-roasted elk tenderloin to a light Pierre Sparr Pinot Gris Reserve to pair with Seattle Dungeness crab and avocado salad.

The experience ends with the artful creations of Master Pastry Chef Erich Herbitschek, like a sensational soufflé
or Plant City strawberry ice cream gâteau. Chocolate fans rhapsodize about the miniature chocolate pyramid with warm almond chocolate timbale and orange chocolate napoleon.

To remember it all, a personalized menu is yours to carry home, along with a long-stemmed red rose for women.

Chef's Table in the Kitchen

In an alcoved space at the back of the kitchen, diners at the coveted Chef's Table get a front-row seat for the slicing and dicing in Hunnel's well-orchestrated kitchen. Less formal than the dining room, Hunnel starts the evening with a champagne toast and asks for likes and dislikes so he can craft a personal menu.
This is his chance to be creative.

With up to 13 courses, the experience offers small tastes, often decadent, of everything from Almaz Persicus golden osetra caviar to Kobe beef with seared Hudson Valley foie gras, or crispy Virginia black bass with
asparagus risotto and English peas. The exquisite dishes are paired with wine and spirits for a memorable experience. Multiple desserts feature the creations of Chef Herbitschek, starting with a divine "pre-dessert"
trio of chocolates.

Just when you can't imagine another course, the evening ends. The experience lasts nearly four hours, the
time filled with marvelous tastes and Hunnel's banter between courses. For foodies, it's never long enough.

Jackets are required for men (tie optional) and "dinner attire" for women.

Typical menu items - (menu changes daily) Baluga caviar, lobster, venison, Angus beef tenderloin, sorbet,
grand marnier souffle.

Specialties - Fresh ingredients gathered from the world's markets and displayed in a unique approach to
culinary artistry. The menu is customized daily from fish, fowl, red meat, veal and lamb selections.

Meals - There are two seatings daily September through June, one seating daily July through August.
Chef's Table seating is 6 p.m. daily.

Prices - Dinner is $95 per person (tax and gratuity not included), $145 with wine pairing; Chef's Table is
$125 per person, $185 with wine pairing.
