Hi Chris the reason why they have that lighthouse at the Grand Floridian is because there was a boy who was on vacation and he was killed by a alligator. They put that lighthouse in his honor

Somewhere. It was filmed at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan. The Grand Floridian is partially based on that hotel as well as the Hotel del Coranado in San Diego and others. You should take Amanda and Miles to Mackinac Island sometime if you haven’t been there. No cars are allowed on the Island. You can take horse drawn carriages, bicycles, or just walk to get around the island. It is really nice!

@@CraigGlassner Agreed. The Grand Hotel has that huge porch on the front of it and different color accents. But it does have that "elegant" look and feel to it that Chris mentioned in the video. I think the name "Grand Floridian" was probably inspired by the Mackinac Island hotel.

Grand Floridian fact: Princes Diana stayed there with prince William and Prince Harry when they went to magic kingdom in 1993. The lighthouse is to remember a young boy, very sad story. Swimming had been banned for many years prior, as a result of the tragedy the netting and rocks were installed in all resorts with lake access and additional signs warning of the dangers of the wildlife. This is one of four i still need to stay to finish my list.

Years ago, my cousin and I as a self high school graduation present, spent a week at WDW. One of the things we did was rent little one person boats. We went everywhere that were no "No entry" signs. Including finding the Electric Boat Parade floats. Our 1 hour rental turned into 3 hours. But the CM at the dock didn't charge us. "Have fun?" "Lots, went everywhere without a 'no entry' sign." He just grinned at us.

That was filmed at a Victorian era hotel ( the Grand Hotel) on Mackinac Island, Michigan. It’s a great place to visit if you haven’t been there before. No cars are allowed on the island. You get around on foot, bicycle or horse and carriage.
