Today is our last full day at WDW. We have decided to take it easy until our 5:30 ADR at the Grand Floridian Cafe. We also have reservations for the Wishes Dessert Party at 9:00. This dessert party is by reservation only and held at the Noodle Station Terrace in Tomorrowland at the MK. More later on this. The Wishes Fireworks display is at 10:00. The MK Spectromagic Light Parade is at 9:00 and 11:00. I decide to sleep in and then walk around the OKW resort. DW, DS, DD and DDbf want to ride Tower of Terror again so they head out to HS. Not sure what else they did but DW and DS return around 11:00 so we eat our CS meal credit at Goods To Go at OKW. We eat cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets with key lime pie and rice krispie treats for dessert. Nothing fancy, just good food. DW and I go back to the room to relax and DS heads to the pool. DD and DDbf have gone to EPCOT to find some gifts for other family members and they return to OKW and eat at Goods To Go as well. We get cleaned up and head to the Grand Floridian resort.
We take a bus to MK and since we have yet to ride the monorail, we take it from MK to the GF. If you have never been to the GF, you must go. Pictures I have seen do not do it justice. It is the most luxurious and naturally, most expensive of the WDW resorts. It has a
AAA 5-diamond rating. There are 5 restaurants - GF Cafe, 1900 Park Fare, Citricos, Narcoossee's and Victoria & Albert's. The first four are on the DP but Citricos and Narcoossee's require 2 TS credits. Victoria & Albert's is in a class by itself. It has been a 5-diamond restaurant for over 10 years and has only one seating each night. It is the only restaurant in WDW that has a required (not suggested) dress code. DW and I will try this when we return after Thanksgiving...without the kids!!
The GF Cafe is the nicest of the restaurants that we have visited this trip. The atmosphere is more akin to a fine dining restaurant yet guests can still dine in their shorts and shirts. It's not as rushed as the other TS places and our CM Quanhang did not disappoint with his service. The menu is somewhat limited with only 8 entrees but I guess you do those things right and it doesn't matter. I'll always take quality over quantity anyway. It didn't matter for our party because we all ordered either the New York Strip or the Rib-eye. The meat was very tender and I believe you might have been able to cut it with a butter knife. Those that wanted water for their beverage were given a choice of tap water or chilled Evian bottled water. Duh!! We were trying to decide on desserts and Quanhang told us we could get their dessert sampler that had four different desserts on the DP plan. Again, Duh!! Our desserts were tiramisu, chocolate-hazlenut mousse cake, key lime tart and lemon cheesecake. The tray had a small easel with a sign that was also edible....well, I suppose it was....I ate it anyway!!
While I'm eating the sign and everything else, I'm thinking we are going to a dessert party in 3 hours and this is the last night. We should have done this the first night so I could at least have had a chance to walk off some of the pounds!!! Oh well, great meal, great service and we are back on the monorail to MK.
More shopping...don't you gals ever get enough?
