  • Grand Floridian Resort is Disney World’s most expensive resort that offers high-end dining options, a spa, salon, health club, swimming pools – and Beauty and the Beast-themed bar, writes Kari Becker
  • Rooms range from US$800 to US$2,000 a night and the lobby has luxury shops for those who are looking to splurge beyond roller coaster rides with kids, making it an ideal spot for adults-only getaways

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, I try to stay at as many Disney resorts as possible so I can speak to their quality and amenities.

Recently, my friend and I splurged on an adults-only stay at the Grand Floridian Resort for US$950 a night – and it was totally worth it.

The Grand Floridian is a gorgeous, sprawling resort
