Food - Breakfast
I am just waiting on June flights to be released and then I can book some stuff. But until then I am just thinking about various aspects of the trip so I thought I'd start posting randomness. So let's talk about food.
Last time we ate most breakfasts in our room. At the time, I think Henry was just eating dry Cheerios and fruit puree pouches. We bought cereal and milk for ourselves. Some mornings G would go down to the breakfast room for muffins or pastries and tea. I suspect we will do that again. But we will also buy cereal and milk again. For Henry this time, it's hard to say what he'll be eating come June. His tastes change a lot. But for the purpose of this pre-trip report, I am just going to assume he is eating the same stuff as now.
One of the first things we do when we arrive is make a trip to Target for a ton of junk. I am thinking if we can find a cheap ($10-$15) toaster, we might get one for the week. Henry has been really into toast lately so that would be easy to do in the room. This morning, for example, he had toast (half butter/half jam), yogurt, and cut up apple pieces. If we have a toaster, that is an entire meal we can make in our room for him. Easy and quick.
In February, the park didn't open until 10am. In June, I think it will open at 8am. There's very little chance of making it there that early. But I would love to get there as early as possible. So the quicker the breakfast, the better. We have 5 park days. I suspect that 3-4 of those we will have breakfast in our room. We like to eat breakfast at least once in the parks though.
Typically we go to Tomorrowland Terrace (or whatever they are calling it now.) If we go there...I will likely get what I always get - the breakfast platter. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuit. For Henry we would probably order from the kids menu - french toast, turkey bacon, and fruit.
I thought we might try Pacific Wharf for breakfast because I remember seeing a bread bowl with eggs. But I just looked and apparently they no longer serve breakfast. Boo. And they also stopped serving breakfast food at Riverbelle Terrace. Their cinnamon roll french toast was so good last time.
So I suppose if we want a second breakfast in the parks we'd probably go to Rancho del Zocalo and I'd still order the breakfast platter. For Henry we'd order from the adult meal and get him pancakes, eggs, and bacon.
On our non-park days we will either eat in our room or maybe go next door to Denny's. Or if we want to spend a little more, IHOP down the street.
Basically our goal is to eat breakfast on the cheap most days. We managed it pretty well last time though Henry is a bigger eater now so it won't be quite as cheap.
