Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
I haven't stayed at either but I love both! I chose BC, though, because it is right next to Boardwalk and Epcot, plus the beach!!!

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
I voted for the Beach Club. As I'm sure y'all would guess, with my country upbringin, I'm not much of a ritzy kinda guy... So the laid back beach setting is more my speed...

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
Although GF is the ultimate, I can't really imagine staying there. BC is awesome and DS would love everything about it. Just can't imagine my 2 1/2 yo tornado at GF!

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
This was a tough choice. Have stayed at both (BC mult. times). Loved the upscale of the GF, but went with the BC, as it was close to Epcot & MGM, the pool and our fav. night life place... Jelly Rolls!!!

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
I voted Beach Club b/c I think it has a more laid back charm BUT just as elegant. The location near the Boardwalk & EPCOT is amazing too!

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
Beach Club over GF, but only slightly. Storm-A-Long Bay is "worth the price of admission" as they say. We love Epcot and MGM, so at the Beach Club, we're there. Not to mention the available restaurants between the BC/YC/BW/Dolphin/Swan/Epcot/MGM. Can't beat it.
The GF is absolutely gorgeous and it is the flagship resort. Great restaurants too. Beach Club is my favorite though. I'd give it the nod. Frank |

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
Beach Club.
It's almost like renting a condo on the Sound side, on my beach. Plus I have this thing for Solariums... I'm sure the Grand Floridian is wonderful though.

It is gorgeous isn't it. Nice place to just sit and do nothing! At times I wish they'd turn it into a bar or something w a TV, but other times, it is perfect as is. Frank |

My parent's house has an awesome 2 story solarium. I used to love (and still do!) to lay on the floor and watch the storm clouds overhead. It's now a requirement for any house that I plan to own.

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
Beach Club. GF seems a little to stuffy for my taste.

Re: Death Match: Grand Floridian vs. Beach Club
The only reason that I chose GF is because it is a monorail resort and I have never stayed at one before. Otherwise, I love staying over at the Boardwalk area!!!!!!
