Garden Grill

[Master Yoda]

For those wondering about the spinning....

I don't think some of you realize how slow this thing spins. If the spinning of this attraction triggers your motion sickness I can only assume that you threw up when the parking lot tram did a 180 turn on your way in.

I get motion sickness very easily. Dumbo and the Astro orbiter will make me feel queezy. The tea-cups will wreck me for a day and I can barely tell the thing is moving.

You can see the speed it is turning at about 30 seconds into this video.

How fast does the grille spin compared to the earth?

We are going for breakfast next Tuesday..i guess i'll just take dramamine.i could cancel but it sounds yummy plus i think my kids (9 6 &2) will enjoy it

 

[Laurichi]

Thanks for the video! You really cant tell it's moving!

How fast does the grille spin compared to the earth?

I maxes out at about 1000 mph at the equator.

I will go out on a limb and say that the Garden Grill rotates at less than 1000th of the speed the earth does.

Interesting.

It moves so slow you can barely tell it is moving. I cannot ride the teacups. I have vertigo. I cannot ride things that spin in small circles. I have never felt motion sickness in a rotating restaurant.

 

[Laurichi]

Thats great because i cant do the teacups or astro orbiter either!

Its been a few years but I remember the food being good, we loved the "rotation", and the overall experience was great. The only problem I see with the Garden Grill is that it is Epcot. What I mean by that is that Epcot has, what seems to be, the largest dining selection in one park. So even though we had a really positive experience there we have never been back just because there are so many other restaurants to try.

 

[Laurichi]

That may be true but for a character breakfast it seems like a good option!

If I remember correctly, the restaurant floor rotates once an hour.

When we where watching it last year, we couldn't make out if it was moving or not, its that's slow.

 

[Laurichi]

Ok thanks everyone!

If you sit in the upper section, you really can't tell it's moving that bad. If you are on the first level, you can see the edge easier and see its rotating.

If you want to be really brave, ask the CM when the "orange" dinner is...it's a more intense dinner with faster spinning. It feels almost as if you're going to spin right out of the Land...

Garden Grill is at the top of our ADR list when I make our adrs in a few weeks! We love this place for dinner. Everything, from the food, atmosphere, service and character interaction! The food for dinner was great when we went in 2014, and it was even better when we went in November. I don't eat the fish, but my favorites are the beef, mashed potatoes, stuffing and sausage! And the dessert was different this time than last year - we loved it! The characters always come around more than once, and we never ever feel rushed (like we do at other character meals). We love the Living with the Land ride, so we always ask for a booth on the lower level so we can take it all in. The restaurant rotates so slow, you can't even tell it is moving the majority of the time.

 

[Sans Souci]

It's one of those places I have wanted to try, but never have, because it's a character meal. I think I will try it on my next trip.

Sounds about right. Like I said, it makes about 1 to 1 1/2 rotations during a normal meal. So once an hour sounds reasonable.

Do you get astronaut ice cream with the orange dinner ?

Man, this thread went downhill fast....

We really love Garden Grill. I especially like that the produce and tilapia served are grown on property. Nothing we've eaten there is bad. I could eat bowls of the salad, so much that I'd probably turn into Thumper.
