Good afternoon, pals!
My mom and I are visiting for a quick Memorial Day weekend trip. I was able to get some excellent airfare, and had some DVC points to burn, so...decided to go for it, even though it will be a quick trip.
We will be staying at the Polynesian one night and Grand Floridian the next two nights.
Because of the quick nature of the trip, we will probably just do one sit-down meal, and then the rest will be quick-service, pool bar, Disney Springs every man for themself kind of thing.
I've narrowed it down to:
1) 1900 Park Fare Breakfast- never eaten here but it's been on the bucket list (to be fair, because of the characters, which they are no longer featuring) for a while, and with it being open shortly, I feel like it might be a sign. I don't think we necessarily *need* a buffet, but I do like that it would offer a different variety of options. The menu looks A+.
2) Grand Floridian Cafe Blunch- I've been, but Mom hasn't. Now, this was my initial plan, before we knew 1900 Park Fare was re-opening. I think it has a good variety for both me and my mom. I will say that some of the photos and videos I've seen lately have me concerned. Portions are looking kind of pitiful. Especially the chicken and waffle, which is likely what I would get...a recent video I saw, the chicken portion was tiny. So...I'm hesitant.
3) Hoop Dee Doo Revue- Another never done. But, I know the food is exactly right both of our alleys. I am not so sure on the show part of it. But...at the same time, it feels like as good a time as any to test it out with just the two of us, rather than a booking for the whole entire family and spend a boatload of money, just to find out it's not really the fam's cup of tea.
4) Boma Breakfast- I've been, Mom hasn't. I adore this buffet, and the price in comparison to 1900 Park Fare is a substantial break. It's also not quite as convenient. I think it gives us all the variety of 1900 Park Fare, but maybe takes my mom a small step outside her comfort zone, but in a good way. But...no strawberry soup, sadly.
Which would you choose and why? TIA!
