Review of Grand Floridian Cafe Lunch/Dinner

Was at Disney in August at the Poly. Some of the "adults" decided to try a GF restaurant. We had no reservations but there was no problem for late lunch whatsoever. We also went for late dinner and this was maybe a 15 minute wait. Both meals were very good and we liked the desert offerings and how they can be mixed and matched. We would definitely go back here.
Pros:
Food, atmosphere, serviceCons:

This was our first visit to Pop Century. We have stayed at many other Disney resorts but my son has always wanted to stay here...so we gave it a shot. We did online check-in which went smooth. Our room was ready when we arrived shortly after noon. Our room was clean and met our needs. The grounds were well kept. The food court was good. However, in the future, I will probably return to a deluxe hotel...more for the convenience to the parks. Also, the noise level was more than I expected. As stated in other posts...yes, you can hear the toilets around you being flushed all night long. I was disappointed in the poor wi-fi service. It was also very hard to get any reception on my cell phone. I had to stand outside my room to place a phone call...that may not be a resort issue. Overall, we had a nice stay at Pop. But I think I will return to a deluxe resort next year.
Pros:
bus service, food court, room was cleanCons:

I've seen this show several times and have always enjoyed, so when 9 of us (4 grandkids included) decided to go to Disney I knew this was a must. Food, service, entertainment fantastic. If I go to Disney again, I won't miss this experience.

My two granddaughters were "over the moon" here. We took them to BBB for hair and makeup which was well worth it. However, I don't think this was as good as Norway which is only 1 dining credit. Everyone should experience this at least once, though.
Pros:
Beautiful castle, lots of princesses, food OKCons:
Expensive - two table service credits...Reviewed by Rosebud Review Date: 10/15/2014

I've always liked the Wilderness Lodge, and even though we were at the Poly (this past August), made ADR here for 5 adults, 4 kids. Seated right away. The food was good, BUT coffee so strong, it had to be drowned in cream.
The other issue was, our waiter was obviously new and should not have been left alone, which we made clear when leaving. I didn't think there was very good teamwork since others were not busy and didn't step in to help this poor kid. He was having issues with the computer and it took forever to get our check. I don't really blame him though.

This is a really popular place, but we didn't wait even though we were early. We were at Disney in August and this was one of the ADR's I made. The inside of the castle is so real; we were a party of 9 and had no problem with space. Service was great. This was at the top of my daughter's list as one to return to on our next trip!
Pros:
Absolutely beautiful place, good food and drink, very authentic BeastCons:

I was pleasantly surprised with the food - great variety, plenty of it. We went for a late lunch which turned out great since AK was closing early that day. 4 grandkids practically had Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto to themselves and plenty of room to march in the parade around the restaurant!

We were at Disney in later August, a trip which was planned well in advance. There were 9 of us (4 children under the age of 10). I have had dinner here before and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the restaurant. This time we had princesses, which not only 2 granddaughters enjoyed, but the boys as well. Again, food very good, many princesses. The experience was new to my son-in-law and the kids, and they are still talking about it.
One incredible thing - when I was here in 1996, I had THE most delicious drink - yes, it was alcoholic. I described it to our waiter, never expecting anything to happen. Guess what, he knew what I was talking about and I got to enjoy it again!

We visited the Polynesian in later August. It is a beautiful property - stayed there before. We had two adjoining rooms (party of 9), 3rd floor, view of MK. This was a first visit for my son-in-law and my 4 grandchildren (ages 4-9). Despite the construction and pool closure, we were more than happy with the quality of our stay. Lounge food (and drinks) very good, staff very accommodating. The concierge was cooperative and informative. Housekeeping spot on, everyone very friendly. Finally, Kona and Ohana better than ever!
