I’m missing Disney recently which has sparked an interest in my otherwise forgotten quest to blog consistently! So where were we? Ahhh yes, five months ago we sailed home from our most recent Disney adventure and that’s where I dropped the ball. Let’s start picking up where we left off piece by piece; starting with my indulgent experience with Disney-level spa treatments!
Pushing it full pace, walking more than any human should for days at a time in the parks, you get sore and tired. What better way to relieve this than by visiting one of Disney’s fabulous spas? I had the pleasure on our second to last day in Disney taking advantage of the spa at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Just a short, lagoon trimmed walk from the massive, Victorian Resort and across from the Princess-like Wedding Pavilion, lays a gorgeous, white, prim and pompous building blanketed with a bold red roof and surrounded with palm trees and hosta plants. Once inside, a peaceful feeling of calm is exuded from every pore; from the soft lighting to the soft voices that greet you.
I chose a Swedish Massage which I was surprised to find can be customized to include your choice of aromatherapeutic oils. After being led to the changing room I quickly engulfed myself in a fluffy white robe and slippers and sipped on lemon water while I waited for my masseuse. She was equally as calming, ushering me to the oil choices and then to my private massage room. Soothing music and perfect temperature control including warm towels completed the near-Nirvana experience.
My masseuse then led me back into the private lounge where I was encouraged to continue relaxing my senses with unlimited complimentary use of the sauna, hot tub, fresh Florida oranges, and lots more lemon water (to flush the toxins). The only negative here was listening to some snobby women complain about and openly reject a male masseuse. Rude. Anyway, aside from that it was Heavenly. I could have spent all day there and next time hopefully I will! It is certainly a splurge worth doing again and again.
