Get A Glimpse Of The Victorian-Style Holiday Decor at the Grand Floridian
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog, you’ll know that we were at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa last month when the official Christmas tree went up in the resort lobby. We have such a love for this property all year round but it really comes into its own during the holiday season.
Disney has recently shared some images of the jaw-dropping Christmas trees and decorations you’ll find at this Grand Dame of Disney World. We’ve also peppered in a few of our own to show you how simply stunning the holiday decor at Grand Floridian can be!
Let’s take a look:
Each holiday season the grand lobby is brimming with towering trees, glistening garlands and colorful wreaths creating a Victorian-themed wonderland!
This year’s decor features a “The 12 days of Christmas ” theme which you’ll find throughout all of the incredible details like the stunning wreaths and beautiful baubles.
There’s also vintage-style snowflake ornaments that feature characters from the famous Christmas carol. You’ll also see other ornaments on the smaller lobby trees and throughout the resort.
One of the big tasks when decorating Disney World for the Yuletide Season is getting the time period right at each property. This is according to Ed Miles of Disney Holiday Services.
Ed recalls, “Actually, someone came in and said this looks like something that was in my great grandmother’s or grandfather’s house and I said, ‘thank you, that’s exactly what we’re going for.’”
It’s all about the attention to detail. For instance, at the highest point of the tree, you’ll spot a special 2-foot topper that has been created from a weather vane. It’s copper with a rose gold theme and is perfectly in keeping with the elegant surroundings.
Each decoration is expertly placed. The goal in mind is that an amazing photograph can be taken at any angle, no matter where you’re standing.
From the moment you arrive you’ll realize your are someplace truly magical. A great example is the bright Victorian lanterns with “retro” bulbs at the resort’s porte cochere.
Twinkling lights add to the magical experience as holiday melodies fill the air in the classic setting of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
