I am so happy that I read this review. We were just talking about adding another breakfast to our May, 2013 trip and I suggested Cape May. Guess I'll cross that one off.
Its not that the breakfast was bad it just wasnt worth the money for what you got and if you are not staying around those resorts its not worth the trek over to it
sorry your breakfast wasn't great, at least you were with the gang
Thats what made it all worth it!
This was the worse day of the trip. I was so sad that you and Todd would be leaving us that afternoon and it left me unhungry. Then add in the food...and it truly was not worth the money we paid for it. I was very disappointed in the food and think the only thing I ate was the "not so good bacon" and the Mickey Waffles. Now, I normally love Mickey Waffles, but these were just not good at all. But we did have fun with the characters, didn't we?
Des supposedly worked on those pictures today; I'll know when Andy gets home from "date night" tonight.
I was dreading that day, I wanted to stay until the end with you but alas, we have to work to pay for these trips
The food was eh, nothing exciting. Honestly I liked Kona much better and the food was brought to us so we were able to sit and talk in a relaxing manner I think the food was sitting for a while and it wasnt super fresh
I'm the other diser who can do w/o mickey waffles Nicki! I <3 pancakes but waffles are ok. Although, I do plan on making them this week w/ raspberries & cream for the guys.
Too bad Cape May breakfast is slipping.
My parents enjoyed the Cape May clam bake, again this year. They said it was off the charts! It could be different staff? Oh well, the atmosphere is so pretty, it's a shame. I hope they step it back up
!
I dont like Belgian waffles either...give me Eggo and I am one happy girl! When we first ate at Cape May years ago it was excellent and much cheaper than it is now but the last few times it was nothing special. The clam bake we love, that is always a hit with us
Sorry to hear y'all didn't have a good meal at Cape May. We've never eaten there and, honestly, it's never even made it on to a list of possibilities for us. Don't think that's going to change after this review.
I really want to go back to Crystal Palace, its been 4 years since we had breakfast there and I miss it!
And I thought I was the only one who thinks this place is only "ok" when it comes to the food. Outside of the very good character interaction there really was nothing I found at Cape May that I wouldn't find in a Golden Corral. One thing that really left me leaving this place disappointed was that it did not have a fresh omelet station. For the price of the buffet the least they can do is have a fresh omelete station. I'm really not into pre-made eggs sitting on a steam table. I did ask the server if I could have an omelete made up. She was not overly excited by the request but did put in an order. It took 20 minutes to get that omelete. I'm not a big breakfast eater; my daily routine is a bowl of Cheerios with almond milk and a banana. Perhaps it's more me and not Cape May?
Normally we loved this place but this time it was boring and the food wasnt that wonderful. Characters are not a must do for Todd and I, for us its all about the food. Boma is hands down the best breakfast buffet out there. I cannot believe it took 20 minutes to cook an omelet! Thats just nuts. Todd and I drink protein shakes for breakfast but on vacation we are huge breakfast eaters
I'm not a fan of Mickey waffles or Cape May.
Sorry to hear it was a sad day with bad food.
Thank goodness I'm not alone on my distaste for waffles, they are cute though!
Too bad about Cape May! We love the dinner, we had breakfast there once 8 years ago and I can't say I remember anything about it. So we probably won't be going for breakfast anytime soon!
DInner is still a good time for us, the food is very good and there is a huge selection
We've always enjoy breakfast at CM (not so much dinner, though), but when we were there in October, they sat us in that closet side room as well. I didn't even know that existed. Changed the entire experience!
I do not like that little room at all! THey have tried to seat us there many times, for breakfast and dinner, but each time I refuse to sit there. You feel so closed off from the rest of the place.
wow, what a bummer, Nicki! We ate CM breakfast last year (September 2012), and thought it was wonderful. Everything was hot & fresh...the quiche was fabulous and the pastries were the best we'd had at a Disney breakfast buffet...fresh fruit was great, too. Sure hope your breakfast was an exception and not the new trend for CM breakfast!
We love Boma breakfast, too...and yes, the selection is better at Boma.
Hi Cathy! I did like the quiche but the fruit was terrible. Never had a bad breakfast at CM before, and to pay those high prices and the food isnt that great...ouch!
We weren't really impressed with Cape May either. I don't think its worth it for the money. Even the dinner too..its so expensive! But, we love Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club for breakfast. We've been a couple times and gotten the buffet. Its one of the cheapest on property and very tasty...not a ton of offerings, but enough to fill us up!
The cost of everything is so expensive! We used to pay $15 for breakast and $25 for dinner...its doubled now! We are staying at the Dolphin in Oct and will go to Capt Grill for breakfast one morning. Fresh too, we had breakfast there once and it was very good.
MMMM i just love a good candy apple.

I remember the reservation issues with BOG so glad you all had no problems. I can't wait to see Kathy's photos of the interior!
Your meals...OMG they look sooo good. I have got to stop reading your TR when I am hungry. I am practically drooling on my keyboard here!
I'm so glad you posted a photo of the meat pate appetizer - I was trying to picture it and in my mind it was nothing s appealing as that photo!
Too bad that Cape May was a disappointment. I'm not a big fan of breakfast buffets, except for Akershus Banquet Hall that is. I have never been a huge eater first thing in the morning.....sadly my nights are never so interesting as to make me ravenous in the morning
I like the plain caramel apples from Germany....all that candy and chocolate turns me off. They are very pretty to look at though!
We were so lucky to not have problems with BOG, everyone else was having major issues but we were seated just a short time after checking in. THe food was soooo good! Mark and Andy shared the meat/pate appie and they both enjoyed it very much.
I am not a fan of breakfast buffets either but Cape May has always been a great choice, especially first thing in the morning when they open. THis time it missed the mark for sure. Boma is the reigning champion for breakfast buffets and totally worth going out of my way for
Too bad about Cape May for breakfast. I hope it's not like that in February. As usual, I love your dining reports!
I hope you have a better meal next month
I am not a fan of Mickey waffles either
Now if they were pumpkin Mickey waffles, well I would just be all over that!
Not sure why we didn't try one though!
