Lunch at The Garden Grill Restaurant in Walt Disney World Resort!

in busy •  6 years ago 

Will you join us for lunch at The Garden Grill Restaurant in Walt Disney World Resort because we had a lovely day there and you might enjoy seeing it here? To begin, we rode The Seas with Nemo & Friends after arriving at Epcot Theme Park in Walt Disney World Resort as seen at https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/epcot/.

After entering, I stopped for a photo in front of the restaurant wearing the shirt from our phoenix graphic design contest.

What makes The Garden Grill fun is that it slowly rotates the entire time! Above we can see the initial view from the table.

@laurabanfield and my daughter Madeleine was so happy to see farmer Mickey!

Madeleine spots another character coming!

I am not sure whether this is Chip or Dale?

We begin with a delicious vegan friendly salad! I ate an entire bowl ... like the whole bowl for the table.

Maybe this is Dale? Or is is Chip?

Dinner rolls! Even though I mostly eat whole plant foods and eat 99% vegan, I took a couple bites of the dinner roll.

Enter Pluto!

By this point our table has rotated to the front of the restaurant! I could not be bothered to take an extra five minutes to find the perfect lighting.

With starting my day fasting until around noon as usual and arriving for lunch at 12:45 pm, I had not eaten since about 8 pm the night before and was very grateful The Garden Grill had a vegan meal for me and a vegetarian meal for Madeleine which was tasty!

As we ate, our table view changed to this.

Laura encouraged me to hop in one of the photos!

While I was raised to "clean my plate" now I intend to eat until I am full and if there is food left, I consider that for next time in calculating my portion. Yes I did eat almost as much as the rest of the family combined ...

Laura, Madeleine, and me with Pluto!

We were lucky enough to get a table on the outside! I guess this should have been at the beginning but I took the photo at the end so here it is.

I took one bite of dessert which was tasty! After two years of eating a whole plant based diet with 50% fruits and vegetables with the other 50% being grains, nuts, and beans, I find that the biggest difference is having one bite versus none. One bite of dessert and I maintain my diet. None and I resent my diet enough to eventually throw it all out and binge at some point. One bite is enough to taste and enough to not want more on something where the primary function of eating it is not nutrition.

is the best

Epcot is a magical place for little ones, though your Madeleine looked more at ease with Chip and Dale than she did with Mickey ;-)

I find at restaurants that, because the portions are usually so huge, I eat about half of what I'm given, then take the rest home for another meal. It is rare that I complete the entire meal at a restaurant, unless I'm just getting a sandwich.

Glad you are all having a great time!

Like seriously? Jerry ate a whole bowl......C'mon you look like one who hardly finish 5 spoonfuls....

Yea! my day was shattered by an unexpected mood swing and my friends misunderstood that....I wish there was a writing contest where I can express all that happened to me today....

Regards to the little #madeleine

Make it into a post for yourself!
You'll help yourself by purging, and sometimes those are the posts that most help others, because they know you're being absolutely real.

wow man you have a nice a family. I always dream of the day I will visit Walt disney's world. Also those foods makes me hungry, lol

Congrats, you made the @dtube #steemitminute for today!

Great holiday

This is beautiful! You've got a beautiful family.

They always make everything magical at Disney! Awww I wanna go there again!

Very cool! Disney has some great places to eat and you are right the portions are huge. We went to the old time diner on one of the properties, and it was amazing. Looks like you guys had a great time! The princess breakfast in I think Germany at Epoct is great for the kids. The family style service of the food is great as well. We were lucky enough to visit Epcot during the International wine and food fest and the selection of places to eat was fantastic.

I am very tempted to see Sir's food. The food is very lucrative to see. I am looking forward to eating food myself. I can not keep the greed in the eyes of all the pictures. Thanks for your share sir!

OMG!!! You really made me dream (and get hungry :P).. I LOVE DISNEYLAND!! I'm a little girl, a little too grown up, but thinking about eating together with Mickey Mouse makes me really happy ahahah :D

Great to know your idea, bring organic search by posting post like this, that awesome !

Wow so much fun to catch up with here. I really wish I can join you @jerrybanfield hahahahahahah

Happy to enjoy your holiday.

This is lovely! I can see, you had an amazing trip. Thanks for sharing your memories and taking us into the magical Disney world. I remember my last trip to Disney World in California in 2011. It was truly an adventure

Now, this is amazing..... Fun filled day with lots of good food !
Just the way I like it... I can see you had a nice day @jerrybanfield

Well to be exact liked the foods but more importantly liked the views from the table that does makes it quite unique as we speak of ;)

The foods does looks delicious as well !

You guys sure had a great time !

Ahh these foods always make my mouth watery....amazing

Wow! What a fun moment for you @jerrybanfield. Seriously, we would be doing ourselves a great act of dissatisfaction if we don't learn how to carve out time out of our busy lives to enjoy ourselves, and have some pretty nice time with family, friends and loved ones.

This publication is very nice, we agree that sharing with the family is great ... thanks for sharing ...

Great post,nice travel food

Nice photos.

Looks like a great time, will be there next week with my family!

Nice one Jerry, wish I could join... maybe next time ;-)

Did they point out the hidden mickey in the foliage on the mural as you went around?

Mickey Mouse hugging me is a child memory of mine as well :-) Enjoy ...

I remember Disney World as a kid and it was amazing. Some of the restaurants there are really cool, like the one you went to, and the one that is inside the big globe. It takes a lot of creativity to make a park like Disney World.

Beautiful family man i am so excited about going to disney next month with my family its going to be fun.

Lovely family.....

super moment with family member?

Aww nice family pics, thanks for sharing :) I really want to go to Disney World with family when my little one will be older. My sister goes pretty often with my nephew and each time they are delighted. The food looks really good and it's great to know they have healthy choices!

Lovely, what an interesting place for visitation

The Walt Disney World Resort is the best vacation and the most memorable for the kids. Don't forget to visit the Everglades National Park while you are there in Florida. Or even hitting NASA at JFK is great as well. The wildlife is absolutely amazing and the picture-taking is endless. Upload more pictures if you can. Will you be going to the beach, too?

That looks like fun. You had quite an adventure.

Great Pictures !!! Enjoy these moments with your family :)

thanks @jerrybanfield ,,sir for your information

amazing

Hey Jerry!

How great do you feel on whole foods plant based diet? Ive been eating this way since about the end of october and feel pretty strong and healthy - not to mention extraordinarily regular.

One of my #teamaustralia peeps, @choogirl is also a wfpb vegan, too. I remember blogging about it months ago and got a pat on the back from her. Taking control of our lives through diet (arguably one of the easiest ways) is so empowering.

Great to see you enjoyed your time at one of the restaurants at the Disney World Resort!

Nick

What a lovely post it is! You all are looking beautiful here. Foods are also looking delicious. Really amazing trip you got. Wish you all the best for the next one. Hope you will share too. 😊👍

Fun! I haven't been to Disney World. It's good to know there are vegan and vegetarian options that are tasty :) I'd love to feature your future food related posts in my #dailyfoodphotography compilations if you want to use that tag. Here are the details. Thanks for sharing your adventurous weekend!

What a great time!! Love the pictures! You have a beautiful family. 😃

Speaking of relating to others through what we have in common, I created a challenge that has that effect. It's an endeavor to bring the people of Steemit closer together, to help build relationships, and to learn about one another. I wanted to let you know that I tagged you in it in case you weren't notified.

It's called the love it/shove it challenge and it's fun and simple! All you do is make a post describing 5 things you love and 5 things you really dislike, use the tag #loveitshoveit, and tag whoever else you want to get to know better.

Where it's circulating now, it's having a positive influence, and I'm hoping you'll consider doing your own love it/shove it post. I for one would love to get to know you better! Thanks and much love! 🙂

Ho so cute it look like your daughter had the best time there!!!i can't wait to bring mine at the disney in paris:)

nice photografhy of travel in Disney world with family 😊
