Any opinions on the Grand Floridian Cafe???

OT- How did you like the Garden Cottage? We stayed there a couple of years ago.

We loved it. I requested one with the private balcony and got it. The space was tremendous and the balcony was huge (7' x 12' I think)

Here is the link to my picture album of just the room in case it is different than when you stayed there.

Looks awesome. We did not have a balcony which I would have loved, however ours was a free upgrade from a standard view room so no complaints.

We LOVE the GLC for lunch! It's beautiful inside, reasonably priced, we get a window seat overlooking the gorgeous grounds of the Grand Floridian. You really can not go wrong during lunch. Never ate there for dinner.

You may want to read the dining reviews here when trying to decide.

We snagged a last minute ADR for GFC for our trip in September. There were 7 of us and 5 got steaks. They were the best steaks I've had at Disney, and I've had a lot. The mashed potatoes were unbelievalbly good, and the roasted corn was worth the side trip there. I may never go back to Le Cel.

I think I'm only repeating what others have said. It's a beautiful interior. I recall liking the coffee quite a bit. We love it for breakfast. I think we've been there a half-dozen times for breakfast (all on DD plans, though). They used to do fresh squeezed OJ, but the department of health shut that down unfortunately.

I would say it's best as a breakfast or lunch place.

Cheers.

If you go for dinner, I would avoid the steak. Some friends of ours warned us that theirs were not good in February, but we decided to make up our own minds in May. There were nine of us--eight ordering steaks--the server recommended the strip steak so seven of us ordered the strip and my dad ordered the rib eye against the server's advice. Server told him it's fatty--well, he loves fat. He was the only one who liked his steak (actually, he said it was "alright")--but it was fatty and the rest of us would have hated it. We were not on a dining plan and paid for these OOP. It was very disappointing!

A year and a half before that we had a nice meal at GFC. I think a lot of us ordered salmon...

I do like their salad with cashews. The bread is unremarkable. I took one bite and didn't feel it was worth taking up room in my stomach.

The desserts are just ok, IMO.

We had a completely different experience! 8 of us went in February. 6 of us got steaks. Everyone said their steak was their best ever (and we frequent a very high end well known steakhouse in our state often!).

MY DH had the Lobster Burger and has salivated over it ever since - we are going back next month and he is so excited!

I have also had the Cobb, the Grand Sandwich (OMG!! Heaven!) and I believe the Reuben??

Never a bad meal and really looking forward to hitting it again!

The lunch is fantastic, the Grand Sandwich and the Grand Floridian Burger are worth a trip.

I have eaten there for all three meals, and I find lunch the best.

I agree! Both are amazing! Not sure what I am going to be able to decide on next month!!
