need help with TS lunch on arrival day

[dkbnyc]

hello- i need help finding TS lunch on our arrival day
our plane should land aroung 10:30am. we are staying at POR and will go to MK for MVMCP at 4pm.

I need a TS lunch that is very easy/quick to get to from POR or one that will be easy to get to MK after lunch.

Something near POR is great too so we could rest a bit before MVMCP

Maybe a resort on the monorail would have a good TS lunch and then somewhere to walk/look around until 4.

thanks

Grand Floridian Cafe or Kona

I agree Kona Cafe is GREAT!

I was thinking the GF Cafe too But honestly I would consider the food court at POR. I know it isn't TS but it's usually quiet at lunch time and you wouldn't have to worry about ADRs.

I loved POR Riverside foodcourt. Nice selections and plenty of seating. Too bad Boatwright's doesn't serve lunch, to me that's one of Disney's hidden gems as far as restaurants go.

I always wanted to try Boatwrights for breakfast but I guess that's not happening

Another TS option is Whispering Canyon Cafe.

I was thinking Boatwright's. Are they not there anymore?

Their breakfast is OK. Nothing special but not bad. The sweet potato pancakes they brag about are terrible.

I would take the POR boat to Downtown Disney and have lunch at Wolfgang Puck Cafe. Then I'd take the bus to one of the MK resorts where I'd catch the monorail to the MK. Actually, I'd do a circuit on the monorail (if time allows) stopping at each resort to check out their holiday decorations.

Our meal at Wolfgang Puck was the highlight of our last trip and the boat ride to DtD is so relaxing so that would be my first choice. My second choice would be to eat at Kona or The Wave (Contemporary) followed by the monorail circuit and MVMCP.

Boatwright's no longer serves breakfast. Just dinner.

I also recommend taking the boat from POR to DTD for lunch. You have lots of TS lunch options available there, plus, after lunch you can boat back to POR to relax before the party!

Kona. Then it's just 2 monorail stops til you reach MK.

Or a boat ride...

This is what we do except we always hit Earl of Sandwich our first afternoon when we land but Wolfgang Pucks is great and its only about a 10 min boat ride from POR to DTD!

I love the boat ride from POR to DTD. For that alone I'd go with that plan. Very relaxing.

I think I would avoid anything that needed an ADR in case your flight was delayed. We arrive at 3:45 and are staying at POR. Our plan is to take the boat to DTD and eat at Wolfgang Puck Express - one of my co-workers says it's great. That way we won't feel rushed.

I plan to go to Woofgang Puck. You can't beat it. And you r right on the boardwalk to look around AND the big disney store is there. Woofgang Puck is unforgettable.
