1. Grand Floridian but it can be pretty pricey
2. The Grand Floridian resort is the one you are talking about, but it is the most expensive resort at Disney. The parks are all spread out with a couple of resorts in each area. No resort is located near all parks.
3. The Contemporary- monorail goes through the hotel & the California Grill is on site - has the best view of the Magic Kingdom
4. The hotels closest to the Magic Kingdom with a fireworks view are Grand Floridian, Polynesian and Contemporary. The Grand Floridians rooms are nice but not so spacious, the Polynesians rooms are averagely spacious and the Contemporary has the most spacious rooms out of those three. However there are other places to view the fireworks from these hotels that are much less crowded than the parks. I like to watch fireworks from the dock at the Polynesian. Basically anywhere that you can see Cinderellas Castle from youll be able to see the fireworks. (:
5. The Contemporary Resort is right across from the Magic Kingdom. To get to the park, the monorail goes through the contemporary resort, to the magic kingdom, and to epcot. to take a virtual tour of the contemporary resort, go here: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/resorts/virtualTourPopup?mediaID=ContemporaryResortVirtualTourPopupPage Disney's Beach Club Villas has a view of epcot. 3-acre lakeside water playground with slides and white-sand beach, Elaborately themed pools with slides, World-class dining, Fitness center/spa, and 24-hour room service are all found at Disney's Beach Club Villas.

6. The three hotels with views of the Magic Kingdom are Grand Floridian, Polynesian and Contemporary. Of these three, The Contemporary is the least costly, but all three are expensive. In November, my family stayed on the Club/concierge level at The Contemporary with a Magic Kingdom view. It was amazing. I could not believe how close we were to everything. I felt we could reach out and touch Space Mountain, Cinderella's Castle was straight ahead from our balcony, and we had a perfect view of the fireworks. We could even see and hear the nightly show on the Castle stage (I wish we had had binoculars with us for an even better view!). Although, Grand Floridian and Polynesian also have Magic Kingdom views, I can't imagine them having a better viewing angle on the Castle where the fireworks are centered. Be sure when making your reservation to specify that you would like a Magic Kingdom View. However, if you want to save some money, each of these resorts has at least one common area for hotel guests to view both the fireworks and the nightly Electrical Water Pageant. As far as closeness to all parks, there isn't any one resort at Disney World that is closest to all of them. The Contemporary is a short walk to the Magic Kingdom and there is a clearly marked sidewalk for this purpose. You can also take the monorail from the Contemporary, GF or Poly to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Shuttle service (or boat from some resorts) is available to the other parks. Some resorts have longer transportation times than others and during peak travel times you may wait a while for a bus, but overall Disney does a great job transporting guests. I don't think proximity to the parks should be a deciding factor in where you stay, rather choose the resort you most want to experience. Hope this helped!
7. The Polynesian Resort is the best. It is directly facing the castle. There's swings on the beach where you can sit and watch the fireworks. The rooms are average size and very affordable (depending on the size of your family).
8. Grand Floridian Contemporary and Polynesian They are both really nice hotels, but they are both probably the most pricey...Grand Floridian has a nice little beach at the back and the Polynesian does as well. Contemporary is more for conventions, and is nice because all three of these hotels are along the moneral. Contemporary is not as expensive as the others. Although, it won't be as themed in disney if you want to stay there. if you looking for a nice relaxing vacation and don't mind spending, then those hotels would be worth your while. they definitely make sure you are 100% comfortable! and relaxed!personally, i would think the Polynesian or grand Floridian
9. Grand Floridian, Polynesian, and the Contemporary all offer views of the fireworks, but they are all expensive and none of the rooms at Disney are all that spacious. You can have a drink, though, at any of those resorts (more difficult at the GF) and watch the fireworks from there.
10. I'm pretty sure the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress has a view of Magic Kingdom. It is a very nice hotel so very spacious rooms! It is on One Grand Cypress Boulevard, 877-477-5817. Have fun in Disney World!
