As you may or may not know, Walt Disney World has so many great resorts and hotels that you can stay in. It's on my Florida bucket list to try and stay in as many as possible and last week, we partook in a bit of resort hopping to experience a couple of them (and make me want to stay in them really bad!).
We first had a look around The Grand Floridian, which is a beautiful resort, styled in a Victorian seaside theme and is one of the hotels that I really, really want to stay in!
The Grand Floridian also has a spa - oh, how I want to have a massage there! - and is home to the wedding pavilion which we managed to get a sneaky look in. It's so beautiful!
After that, we strolled along to the Polynesian, another deluxe resort, this time themed on Hawaii (Lilo and Stitch - yay). On the beach of the Polynesian, you can watch movies under the stars and when it's time for the Wishes fireworks, you can grab a spot overlooking the lake and it's so magical. I've heard lots of great things about the Ohana restaurant there so can't wait to go back!
To celebrate our one week of being in Florida, we went to the California Grill on top of the Contemporary resort. It was amazing, the food was incredible and the view was spectacular. We ordered a selection of starters (two flatbreads and pork belly sushi) which were so so good. The California Grill is a fine dining restaurant and when Disney say fine dining, they really mean fine dining. The quality of food is well worth it.
There is so much to do and explore on the Walt Disney World properties... hopefully we'll be able to make it round as many as possible!

As the restaurant is situated on top of the hotel, you can go out onto two viewing platforms and watch the fireworks. This is probably a controversial opinion but so far I've found myself enjoying Wishes more outside Magic Kingdom; it's so much more chilled out and you don't have to fight your way out of the park.
Gorgeous pictures :) Once again, I'm beyond jealous!
