Grand Floridian Cafe - Any Reviews?

[Music Mole]

I was thinking about getting out of the park for lunch one day - has anyone eaten at the Grand Floridian Cafe' lately? I'd love to get your thoughts/impressions. Thanks!

Here's a link to my review of GFC in July:

We have also had the veggie fritata on another occasion and it was excellent. I think it is my favorite brunch place at Disney.

We had breakfast and lunch there in January 2002 and we enjoyed both very much. It's now one of our favorite places.

I was thinking the same thing, music mole. What are the lunch hours? I've read different times on different sites.

This has long been a favorite of ours for lunch. It has been a must-do on a MK day. We have always taken the launch over and enjoyed a leisurely lunch. We had lunch there this Sunday in fact.

For many years they've offered a wonderful sandwich. It used to be called The Grand Floridian and has been the Earl of Sandwiches for a few years. It was great! Turkey and ham over foccacia bread with a Boursin cheese sauce and onion straws on top. My DD always ordered it. We both ordered it this Sunday and yuck! They now use whole wheat bread instead of the foccacia. I like whole wheat bread as much as the next person but not on this sandwich!!!

Service was also much slower this day. Our glasses were empty for a while and in fact it took a while for our server to get to us in the first place. Perhaps they've cut back on staff??? At any rate lunch took an hour and twenty minutes without appetizers or dessert.

I'm sure we'll try it again next trip as we've always loved it. I guess any place can have an off day. However I sure do hope they bring back the foccacia bread as well as a Cuban sandwich they use to offer.

One of our favorite midday breaks besides the Tea at GF.I thought maybe the kitchen made a mistake or ran out of Foccacia the last time we were there in July.It was one of my favorite sandwiches.It just didn't taste the same.Asked the CM and she just shrugged her shoulders.

madoco...I asked our server if other people mentionned missing the foccacia and she said if they had ordered it before they did but if they had never had it they didn't know any difference. Well,duh!! She said this as if I was an idiot for asking !

We must have had the same CM.Why mess with a good thing?New chef I guess.It sure doesn't make it much healthier with the rich boursin cheese sauce,bacon bits,ham etc.LOL
Still a good place to have lunch.
