August 2018
On our departure day, we had some time to kill, so we hopped on the monorail and made a stop at the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian. The Grand Floridian is so…..GRAND! I absolutely love the lobby. At any given time there may be live music, it smells so good, and the decor is amazing. I had been wanting to try the quick service option, Gasparilla Island Grill, so that was our choice for a meal. To get to the restaurant, you actually walk through the lobby and exit the back doors.
The “food area” is u-shaped. On the left you can get pastries and order specialty coffees.
Straight ahead is the “hot” section. Sandwiches, pizzas, etc.
And then on the right you can get cold sandwiches or salads.
This is Kinsey’s kid pizza, and not pictured is the Artisan Burger. I forgot to get a picture! Everything was really good and I would definitely return here to eat again for lunch or dinner.
One other note…there is both indoor and outdoor seating here. It was way too hot to sit outside, but it would be very pleasant if the weather was normal. The scenery is really nice!
