Garden Grill

[macraven]

i have been to the garden grill for lunch on 7 different trips.
those trips were in the months of may, june and september.
we loved the food on those visits. so much thrilled with it we kept repeating it for each trip to disney.

on my 8th visit to garden grill was oct 7 this year and i came out with a completely different opinion then.

i was not aware that the menu changes oct 1 to different foods. ugh.
the fall menu is dissapointing compared to what we had in previous trips.
no rotisserie chicken and no mashed potatoes.
i asked my server what gives and was told the menu is out front as it changes periodically for the season. dumb me, i never read it, just assumed it was what i always had before.

i will go back to garden grill but not in october. it was a let down for me not to have the chicken and potatoe dishes.
now i have to plan next years trip for september to get the menu at gg that i love.

Ice Cream social:

Is held in the same garden grille room, you go to the podium and tell them you have a ps for ice cream social. They seat you just as if for dinner etc.... Then the wait staff comes around and brings your sundaes and the characters stop by YOUR table. Its the farmer mickey / minnie, chip & dale, goofy, pluto. I think that was everyone? They came by several times. Its held in between lunch / dinner 3pm? ish So the characters have a lot of time, you get great pictures. The garden grille has large wrap around booths on lower level, and thats where most people are seated. So its very private with the characters. The resturant rotates over the "land" pavilion. It was a great place to sit relax and get great character attention. The cost is very reasonable considering the cost of most character meals.

Macraven: I didn't realize the changed the menu either. I never got the chicken. I only got the icky stuff. So we didn't like the dinners. So next time, I'm gonna check the menu. Thanks for the info.

Thank you mkymouse4ever!

This is great to know.

Have not eaten at the Garden Grille since the name change. We used to have a great breakfast there when EPCOT first opened.

It was really pretty and the kids loved the rotating.

Thanks again!

Thinking of eating at the Garden Grill for lunch maybe when we go on our Honeymoon in July. I heard about the 're-hitching' ceremony, and thought it would be a cute thing to do... Does anyone know anything about this or what we have to do to be able to get 're-hitched'? Please let me know.. Thought it might be a cute surprise for my FH (who has never been to WDW).

Any feedback is appreciated!! THANKS!
