Geyser Point

[The Princess]

Tell me your thoughts on Geyser Point.

 

[SuperPreparo]

We stayed at WL the second half of our trip last week and we loved Geyser Point. We mostly used the DVC pool, and it was very convenient to get drinks from the bar or to fill our refillable mugs. We had dinner there one night, and spent a few hours there one afternoon having drinks and apps while the pool was shut down due to the weather. The food and drinks were excellent, the servers were friendly, and the view was lovely.

We enjoyed it very much on our last trip. The menu has since changed but we would try it again. The tables are like a coffee table, when you sit down it is a knee level, not like sitting at a regular table.

W go for the ATMOSPHERE-one of the best,if not the best,views from any Restaurant in WDW!

During cooler weather,there are a few tables RIGHT on Bay Lake where we like to sit.

The Geyser can also be heard from there(hence the name!lol).

Also a few TVs at the bar for watching Sporting events.

We love the "open-air" design.

I’ve heard it’s an open atmosphere. How are the insects?

We love GP and can't recall an insect problem

Having been asked my personal thoughts on Geyser Point....

GREAT Building - with no purpose whatsoever. Today? It could be demolished - and my dear wife and I would care one whit.

1) PRIME location.
2) GREAT structure.
3) ....all degraded into a Pool Bar.
4) Half of the structure relegated to the failed "Reunion Station".
5) No real Breakfast anymore.
6) No real lunch anymore.
7) SAD Dinner.

This, to us, has got to be one of the BEST architectural achievements at the WL. And probably the GREATEST business failure . It actually lacks any purpose. It's the Hilton of Pool Bars. And that is all this wonderful site, well suited for Fine Dining, ever became.

It's a dump. With stunning architecture.

Just us - WL? SHUT THIS ATROCITY DOWN. Please? Go BACK, and make that LOVELY site into what it should have been, in the first place.... a SIG, very much like Narcoosse's at the GF. You sort of need this, as there is NO SIG dining at the WL, post NOV 2018.

All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

Same here-NEVER seen even one insect there-whatever Pest Control they are using there is working!

Important nite: the seating area is a table service and does not take DDP. The window is QS and takes DDPbut you cannot sit at GP with window food.

All personal opinions are welcome. This is your opinion. Clearly from this and many other posts you are very unhappy with recent changes at WL N
WE LOVE Geyser Point and will return on our next trip

I enjoy Geyser Point for the view and a drink. It is very relaxing.

 

[gillep]

We really enjoy GP, the foods we have tried have been good, so have the drinks and we love the setting. We had no issues with bugs.

We loved Geyser Point, and ate there many times for Dinner on our trip back in May. A few nights we cancelled our ADRs for someone else so we could relax at Geyser Point eating a good meal with amazing views all around.

Great video review here:

3) ....all degraded into a Pool Bar.

Meh... its more than a pool bar. The menu isn't the most exciting to me, but its a viable dining option with a beautiful atmosphere. I wouldn't call it a destination for people to add to their list, but its a great option for those staying at WL.

When it first opened, GP was excellent--nice casual vibe and you could slip into any available table. As we predicted, however, that didn't last. People would come there to hang out from the pool (understandable and totally predictable), so they wound up having to make changes. Now, although it's really just a bar, it's also a TS, in theory. Meanwhile, the menu has been reduced. Again, when it first opened, not only were there some good dishes for lunch/dinner, but breakfast was quite good, too, and a welcome change from the poor fare being offered at the newly refurbished and disappointing Roaring Fork. Eggs benedict, two ways, were being offered among other items. Loved it! Then, the menu was reduced to just a few items, then to none. Along the way, the main menu at GP also shrank. What they have is fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. As a side note, I too, am one of those who is very disappointed with recent developments at the Lodge. Aside from the "history" of GP above, Artist Point is disappearing as a Signature, leaving no such restaurant at a deluxe resort. . .a deluxe resort with two DVC resorts attached, to boot. As a final blow, it's likely that one of the better bars in the World will also suffer since it will easily serve as a waiting area for all the families wanting to dine with Snow White. So, I ask patience for those of us who have seen their favorite--in our case home--resort undergo changes with which we wholeheartedly disagree and don't look forward to seeing.

Ditto. This is a wonderful BUILDING - with no current mission in life. GP is a WONDERFUL location - and currently a total failure.
It's a dump. No food, no service.... and the LOCATION has so much promise.

WL - PLEASE get serious? Waterfront? LOOK AT NARCOOSSEES. GP should ALWAYS have been a Sig. As you no longer HAVE a SIG? Think.

I find myself reading every GP and AP post just for the entertainment value.

We did not go for the food as we had a reservation at Artist Point this last December. We went down to Geyser Point for a drink at dusk, before our dinner and it was just a beautiful evening. There were not a lot of people there and it was quiet and so relaxing. One of the best evening drinks and seats we have had at WDW.

Agree with this completely. GP is a wonderful spot to stop for a moment, enjoy a cocktail or beer, and take in a great view. Equally true however, is the fact that GP suffers an identity crisis and poor management. Service is sketchy, the place is totally disorganized, and the food just meh these days. This location could just be so much more.
