Grand Floridian Cafe

Down to the GF Cafe at 6.50 and seated immediately, to the obvious irritation of the many sat outside. Server was Steph, who was great fun but the service was generally slow all evening, the main course took nearly 45 minutes from having had the appetiser. It was a Saturday and very busy, but still!

I had the Cheese platter starter which was very good:

and Tin had the Crab cakes which he gave the thumbs up too:

He ordered a Budweiser and I had a Zinfandel, which we paid for (DDP), then for the main courses, he had the Land and Sea with mashed potato:

and I had the Shrimp and Prosciutto Penne, this tasted fine but there was a definite lack of prosciutto and both main courses were barely warm enough when they finally arrived:

The GF cafe specialises in mini-desserts, but on the DDP apparently we could have 2 each. So Tin ordered the Key Lie Pie and Tiramisu options, I had the Chocolate/Hazelnut Mousse cake and the Lemon cheesecake - these were both a bit "claggy" for me but Tin enjoyed his:

We then ordered cappucino as our soft drink option on the DDP:

this looked lovely and was fun, but the coffee was nearly cold and the Mickey was cinnamon and taste horrible!

Overall we gave this place 6.5 out of 10 and it was our least favourite meal but one on the DDP as it turned out.
If we had been paying - the bill would have been $98! With drinks at $26 this meal came in at slightly under ($1) what we had paid at Tchoup Chop - who says the DDP is not worth the money (it also says that WDW restaurants overcharge! - JMHO)

Wandered outside and saw some nice Christmas decorations:

Took monorail over to the Magic Kingdom, then got the Wilderness Lodge boat that was in, back at WL for 9.15 - got a lovely view of Wishes from the boat on the way. Back in our room just as the Electrical Water Pageant arrived. Sat on balcony and chilled until 10 then bed.
