Grand Floridian Cafe
We were sad to be here, as it marked our last ADR, and our last morning in WDW! We were seated promptly, and our server was friendly and helpful. She also worked her magic so that I could use 5 of my remaining credits to pay for breakfast for the family of 5 sitting across from us. Totally anonymously, so, I hope they felt pixie dusted! We were struggling what to choose from this menu, it's a bit breakfast and lunch all at once. Both children ended up with Giant Mickey waffles and sausages, which they both found a little overwhelming. DS ADDITONALLY ordered the chicken pesto pasta, which he picked at, and which smelled lovely, but we were too sad to eat much. I ordered the Floridian Pancakes, and they were really delicious with orange cranberry and pecans. DH had the steak, I believe. Everything was good. The food here seems to be fine, and service good too, but, if I wasn't staying here, I probably wouldn't make the journey. Which is really no reflection on the quality, just the fact that there are so many places to try. We needed a low key option in our own resort, so it was ideal for us this time though.
General Notes
There are some issues with Disney Dining and not being an American, which I found troubling. Luckily, concierge was very helpful with changing dining, because, as a non American, it is not possible to change your reservations on the fly on the app. Because you have to add a USA mobile phone number. If you don't have one, you can't use it. The same thing is an issue when checking in to restaurants. My British mobile phone number was not good enough to be able to text us when our table was ready, so we had to hang out right by the door. Which, was never a huge problem since we never waited a huge amount of time, but, it seems an odd anomaly.
