Hello fellow GF fans! Trying to catch up....not easy to do....lol...
..sounds like lots of food talk!!
Its really always about the food isn't it???
Can I carry the luggage- homesick for the resort and the sun!
Me too...
Morning all!! Nice to see everyone, way too quiet around here!!
Forgot to quote, but I read lots about the GF Cafe & Kona. We usually visit both every trip with it being so quick and easy to get to but never for breakfast. My kids are older and sleep in, my DH and I usually save all our vacation eating for lunch, dinner and snacks
. With that being said, we have always had a great meal at both restaurants. GF Cafe is a little on the boring side, but for the first night after a day of traveling and trying to get a park in and unpacking its a welcome location and a warm meal when your just to tired to move. The kids love the steak and lobster burger. My DH and love the wine and beer choices and the staff is ALWAYS so friendly too. As for Kona, The kids love the sushi, the wings, noodles etc etc. Hope this helps.
As for visiting AK, we never really go over there, but Pandora opening is definitely making me look over our plans.
We like both Kona and GF Cafe too....GFC can have slow service at times tho...so we try to dine there when the plans are light for the day..Kona is just yummy..any meal..any time...and such a nice walk over from the GF over to the Poly...
..I would recommend either...antoher hidden gem IMO for breakfats is The Wave....all I'm gonna say is key lime eggs benedict....
Ugh. I can't stay in a musty place. I would have had to go right back to the front desk.
Good to know there's another kid out there that doesn't like icky bathrooms. The one time we stayed at my dad's my kid (3 at the time) had to be carried into the bathroom and nearly held over or on the toilet to do his business because he didn't want to touch anything in there. Neither did I, actually!
Should this happen in the future go to the front desk. Hitting "front desk" on the phone gets you to an offsite call center and they have limited options.
Thanks for pointing that out
bumbershoot.. not sure if people are aware of this...which is absolutely the strangest thing!!!!!!!!!
Makes no sense to me at all...
We hopped on the monorail and had a delicious dinner at the Wave during our December trip.
I just posted about that too...what a nice meal...nice atmosphere too...relaxing after a day in the parks...but when you have to go back up to the 4th floor concourse to get back to the monorail...chaos...
I sure wish that there was water transportation directly from the GF to the CR..
Thank you so much for the info! I was just diagnosed with NCGS this summer so this will be my first trip to WDW since going gluten free. My DD15 has lots of allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, bananas) so I am familiar with how great dining at Disney is with allergies but we have never tried GF Cafe. It has made planning for this trip....more challenging. With me gluten free(and I have an egg yolk intolerance), DD15's allergies, and my DD18 is a picky eater in general......
.let's just say I am obsessed with looking over menus!
me too.....
..and for no particular reason....lol....
Afternoon fellow GF lovers! We're heading back to WDW from the UK next Saturday to celebrate our first wedding anniversary - can't believe on this day last year we were checking into the GF for our Disney Wedding / honeymoon and we were pixie dusted upon check in to a TPV room! It really was a dream come true
Well for this trip we decided to change it up and stay at the Poly as we've always wanted to stay there too, but we will definitely be spending a lot of time at the GF still seeing as we will still be so close - we have ADRs at GFC for breakfast (just like our first 'married' breakfast last year) and we're also doing the Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Lounge which will be a first for my husband, so I hope he likes it as much as I did last year! I'm also hoping to stock up on some bits from Basin White too - just love everything about the GF! Just wanted to share my excitement even though we're not staying there this time, I will still enjoy being back at the GF!
You are in the right place to share your excitement alright!!! Happy Anniversary...Enjoying the GF and the Poly too...
How wonderful!
10 days until my first stay!!!
Get packing!!
I have my suitcase out. I need to start filling it.
Do you happen to know our resident slow packer
KonaKaiTom...lol...JK..he truly packs on departure day....and posts about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...lol...
Speaking of....
Tom Hope that you had a a grand trip!!
We are very possibly going to take a spring trip...and seems like we may be overlapping with some August trippers too!
It sure is hot at that time of year...but..pool time is terrific...and the GF has two lovely pools to enjoy!
~So ROL is finally a reality...would love feed back from anyone who does this before we do....
..Thinking a Tiffins dinner package would be nice...def don't want to use a FPP...and we are not particularly AK folks..
... so I would make that an evening adventure for sure....
Just a quick shout out...
Wishes..So glad that we got to catch up! And that you are going to enjoy another GF stay this year!
grannyminnie its been ages...glad you have a trip coming up too!!!
Trish many thanks for always sharing your wonderful pictures! the tea pics made me wish I was at the GF right now...
Hope that everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!!
GF gal who need a new ticker or two...
