Is GG closing for good? Just a renovation? Sorry, but I'm out of the loop on this one. I did a search, but didn't see any threads about GG closing.
Operative words highlighted...Charleyann said:I told her and she was upset and called. They told her she should be called yesterday).That didn't happen! FYI....
This is lunch, not dinner; and five months should be plenty of time to find a table service restaurant with availability and in the same price range as the original meal; or to choose among a wide variety of counter service options (for less money).Changing to Dinner often cost a family an extra $50-$100 dollars more. Peopel budget!
Probably at least part of why 10/9 was chosen - Free Dining Guests who booked last September's Future Stay promotion can check in as late as September 28 and get the package up to ten (or fourteen) nights. Ending the GG lunch after that should accommodate all or at least most of the Free Dining Guests.cmesq61 said:OMG! Thank you for putting the date in there! I had not heard GG was stopping lunch and we have an ADR on 9/28. Was worried we wouldn't get anything else with the free dining crowds and all.
And if many/most/all those diners don't want lunch at Chef Mickey's in place of Garden Grill - because it's inconvenient to their plans, or they already ate there, or it doesn't rotate... and how do you restrict it TO just the displaced GG Guests? Remember, Chef Mickey's isn't geared to serve lunch - they expand the offering a very few weeks a year to accommodate the popularity of Free Dining, and to potentially reduce or avoid complaints of "I have these credits and nowhere to use them!".Ive read that they are offering lunch at Chef Mickeys during free dining. Why not continue that for a little while to give those with ADR's at GG an option for lunch? Just a thought.

I was never informed when Tony's closed for breakfast- didn't know, showed up at 8 am only to find the place closed. I was so upset- and went to Town hall... and was told, sorry.
That's it.
I had 3 small kids and no breakfast. Cinderella's was booked, I tried to get in there to no avail.
I'm still bitter over it.

Woah! That would be something I would write Disney a letter over. What did you do for breakfast? Did you try the Crystal Palace?
I do not have any meals planned here, but I know my neighbor does in Oct. What is going on.? Are they closing, or just dropping the characters. Please let me know
After reading this board I called ADR and they told me Garden Grill is closing Oct. 5 NOW WHAT???
