We joined up with Chris and Meg again after their Dolphin Swim, and went to go and have some lunch at Laguna Grill. Again it is set up buffet style with part serve/part self-serve.
Now for one reason or another I do not seem to have photos of any of the food. I don’t know if I didn’t have my camera with me, or I just forgot, or… I really can’t remember. Nor can I remember what we had. So I’m just going to copy over the offerings at the moment of writing this up as to what lunch is like at Discovery Cove!

Food and beverages at Discovery Cove are unlimited, so you can go through the buffet line as many times as you like! Keep in mind it is not open all day long. Lunch is served 11:00am to 3:00pm.
To be fair, the food sounds very similar to when we went in 2013, so here are some photos from that time…
The rest of our day was spent just hanging out – either on the beach, in the reef, or back over at the river. I really do not have much more to tell you about Discovery Cove other than this visit was fab – and I think one of my favourites. All that was missing was my son, who had stayed back home in the UK because of work and college.
The whole park is a tropical oasis, and you can really take the day to unwind, recharge your batteries, and have a lovely relaxing time.
I’ll close out with some more photos from around Discovery Cove, before my final words!
Oh, I completely forgot to mention that parking is free at Discovery Cove! So here’s a quick snap of part of the parking lot, and of the road sign as you turn into Discovery Cove.
It is a long day at Discovery Cove – and even though you’re not rushing around, all that relaxing takes it out of you!! We dropped Chris and Meg back to their Disney Resort, and Steve and I went home to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We had been fed well during the day, but found ourselves peckish in the evening. Luckily I had bought a couple of snack platters on our previous Walmart trip so we snacked on those for dinner before crashing out!
Tomorrow we head to Disney Hollywood Studios, for Chris and Meg’s last full day in Orlando!
