RIP The Grand Floridian Band



Breaking news from Orlando.
The Grand Floridian band , of 32 years in playing - have been told they are no longer required.
Having seen the inspiration they have given my boys who are both musicians, but the sheer joy and the atmosphere they provide in that place we would all love to stay.

Heartbroken to see they are no longer required at WDW.

Thank you for the Music

I agree with you. Another sad casualty of this awful virus. Hope they find some other outlet for their huge talents.

Totally agree. Their musicianship and indeed their ability to make such a huge space seem so personal at the Grand Flo will be missed so much.

We always make a stop at the bar at the Grand Floridian to catch a drink and listen to them. Such a shame they wont be there anymore.

Sad news, they were a great part of the GF experience.

We used to sit and listen to them either when we were staying there or after Citricos and on days Man City had won I always got them to play 'Blue Moon'

Unfortunately while you are sitting and relaxing to their beautiful music 🎶 you are NOT spending. You are not doing what Disney needs you to do. Spend, Spend, Spend. 💵 💸 💵

The only word I have uttered sharing it at home tonight.

Totally agree with you.

Gutted.

And 'Back in the day" That was not too often
I'm sure they had it on the setlist in recent years

They were a huge part of the GF
