My DD's Girl Scout troop decided to spend their cookie profit on a trip to Disney World! We stayed at the Polynesian (4 rooms) with a Magic Kingdom view...beautiful!
FYI: we had 12 girls, 3 leaders (including myself) plus 1 extra Mom to help.
Wed night:
We ordered Dominos pizza, had it delivered to the lobby and met the guy there. Wasn't cooked enough for my liking, very doughy, but the girls enjoyed it and we sat outside on the patios and ate with the awesome Magic Kingdom view!
Thurs morning:
Breakfast at Ohanas with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto (I think, it was way too early for me). Orange juice was already on the table when we sat down and the food arrived within minutes. The pineapple, watermelon and grapes were very fresh and tasty, the cantaloupe wasn't ripe yet. Skillet with eggs, waffles, potatoes, bacon and sausage. Biscuits and some type of cinnamon loaf were also on the table. Food was good but rushed. Not a good value for us since 10 of the 12 girls are considered adult prices and most ate a piece of bacon and said they were full.
Thurs afternoon:
Lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe. One of the other leaders and I both work there so it was no big deal for us but we thought the girls would enjoy it. In the hour and a half we were there, we did the hokey pokey, pony ride and the happy song. Fun was had by all. Between everyone, I think we pretty much had one of everything from the menu. Some had milkshakes which were given a thumbs up and others had dessert with not a crumb left.
Thurs night:
We monorailed it over the the Contemporary and had dinner at the Food and Fun Center. Typical Disney burgers, chicken fingers and pizza. Frozen Coke machine was a big hit. They had a small topping bar. Big screen TV in the back dining room with the Disney channel playing to keep the kids occupied. After dinner, we got each girl a play card for the game room which kept them busy for almost an hour.
Friday morning:
Doughnuts, granola bars and muffins in the rooms as we packed and headed out.
Friday afternoon:
Lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe. Everything was great. Two good servers who were in character but not over the top. Again, just about one of everything on the menu was ordered. The pot roast and fried chicken were raved about. Two girls split one chicken pot pie from the adult menu and neither could finish it. I was able to order a double sized tossed salad from the kids menu and then the grilled chicken from the kids menu. Desserts were amazing. Four girls shared a Dads sundae and thought they were in heaven. I had the angel food bundt cake with strawberries and blueberries with homemade whipped cream. Amazing. Smores were ordered and 3 people shared. One girl got a green bean sundae and wasn't too happy about it.
Great time was had by all!!
Just a side note:they have a coffee bar set up at the Poly on the second floor just before you go out the doors to the monorail. We walked by it twice but never stopped. Lots of very good looking muffins and pasteries in the display case. They seemed to only be open in the mornings though and were closed by 11am.
