We didn't come to Disney to sleep!! - A Honeymoon TR; 9/2 Garden Grill

[TCKK]

I just found your report so I'm here now and reading. Sorry you didn't have a good time at PF 1900. We did it several years ago and really enjoyed it. I guess you just never know. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

LC continues to be a fave for us too. Its a sentimental one I guess. Love Love Love the soup. Even though its not on the DDP I get it anyway just to taste that smooth goodness.

I am surprised you were able to go go go like you did before crashing.
Its so easy to get overtired during a wedding.

Yeah, we love it!

We were shocked, too. But, out of tiredness, we did something I never thought I'd do. I swore I wouldn't. But, that's for the DHS day.

Yeah. I think the server was the big issue, plus the food wasn't the best, so it was bad. But, I've heard both good and bad stuff about there, so we might've just had a bad day.

(Side note, I'm in a pretty Disney mood today. I'm listening to Spectromagic while I'm writing this. lol)

After a very rainy afternoon in the showcase, it was time for Garden Grill. We were pretty excited because I'd heard it rotates over The Land stuff.

Yeah, it sucked. First of all, not at all what I was expecting for what we were rotating over. Second of all, we were on the second row, so we couldn't see anything anyways.

There was bread, though I didn't get a picture because Mickey was there, and then I blanked on it. The bread was pretty boring, and the butter tasted good, but had zero spreadability.

We started off with a salad:

It was okay, but really nothing special.

Then came the food:

The flank steak was good. They served it medium rare, although I'm sure you can ask for it otherwise. It could've really used more sauce, though. The potatoes were very good. The mahi-mahi was untouched, since neither of us really like it. The turkey was good, but the cranberry sauce was a little too thick. The stuffing had good flavor, but just not enough of it.

Then, the blueberry buckle:

It was good, but not like amazing good.

And, of course, the characters:

Yes, that's whipped cream on Pluto's mouth. I have no idea why it was there, but we informed him and helped him get it off.

It was okay, but we probably won't be back. Wasn't the worst on the trip, just... nothing special. I felt really blah about this meal.

So, after Garden Grill, we decided to head back to the hotel.

We went to the pool to swim and watch the fireworks!

This was also our first encounter with the ELP. OMG. It was our favorite thing all trip!! We love it.

Then, back to the hotel room to CRASH and get ready for Magic Kingdom the next day.

We didn't care for Garden Grill either, probably because we were seated in the second level too and the food was just ok. Plus we kept having to ask CM for everything. There are too many other places at WDW that are good for us to return to GG.

I love the Mickey balloon on your Chocolate Moose - did you put that there, or did they? I love that it's LIME (the DIS color!) and so it looks like he's wearing Lime Green Mickey Ears! So cute!

The pic of you with Dale is great - you are smiling so big, so happy...it's like it could be a Disney ad!

Don't feel bad about falling asleep in the American Adventure! I think I once saw a thread on the DIS about "best rides to nap on". I'm sure American Adventure was one of em!
