GLOW UP: These Disney’s Grand Floridian Hotel Before and After Pics Are Jaw Dropping

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has long been the crown jewel of Walt Disney World hotels, known for its timeless Victorian elegance, sweeping views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, and unmatched proximity to Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

It blends luxury with Disney charm in a way few other hotels can. But even icons need a refresh, and in 2023, the Grand Floridian underwent a stunning room refurbishment that breathed new life into its historic halls. The transformation? Absolutely jaw-dropping and these before and after photos prove it.

The Grand Floridian Resort saw a big upgrade in its rooms back in 2023. The rooms are themed after Mary Poppins Returns. What were once bland, outdated guest rooms have been transformed into sophisticated retreats that perfectly blend Victorian charm with modern flair — a true glow-up that lives up to the resort’s flagship status. From textured wall paneling and crown moldings to jewel-toned accents whispering subtle Mary Poppins magic, each detail reflects Imagineering’s dedication to elevating your stay with style and whimsy.

This is what the rooms used to look like with very traditional style headboards and old carpet.

The old beds

The bathroom has a vanity with two sinks and a separate area for the toilet and shower. The gold tones and pastels continue into this room. With the lighted mirror, you are getting even more light to help brighten up the bathroom.

Just take a look at how dark the old bathroom was.

There is also a couch that converts into a daybed for even more sleeping space. Above the couch were some gorgeous watercolor paintings depicting a scene from the movie! The colors are light and airy, giving the area a more modern look.

Compared to the previous red couch and patterned drapes, we think this is a big upgrade.

The differences in the new rooms feel like night and day! With new floors, bright colors, and gold accents. We love seeing the transformation of these rooms. Take a look below for even more views of the upgrades.
