Tuesday May 24th 2011
Some mornings the sound of an alarm clock ringing is a truly awful sound and on Tuesday the 24th of May when the bell sounded at 6am I dearly wanted to switch it off and roll back over
I had to remind myself that I didnt have to get out of bed, jump in the car and spend the next hour and a half stuck in London traffic; I was is Disney World and my early morning call was for a breakfast date with Pooh
Even so it was with bleary eyes and weary feet that we stumbled out of the Wilderness Lodge and headed toward the boat dock
The sun was only just coming up and if there was ever any doubt in our minds that it wasnt worth the early morning wake-up call then look at the view that greeted us at the boat dock
Sunrise At Wilderness Lodge
Shortly followed by this;
Main Street, Magic Kingdom, 7.40am
I skipped up Main Street like a giddy school girl and after snapping many, many photos we headed over to Crystal Palace to check in
Crystal Palace
Our ADR was for 8.05am and we were one of the first groups to be called forward
Soon after we were seated our server appeared with a very welcome jug of coffee and asked us if we would like some juice or other drinks
He also explained the route that the characters would take around the tables so that we would know when we had time to head to the buffet
After a quick caffeine fix we headed over to fill our plates
My First Plate
Everything was really very good, the fruit was very fresh, and I really had a craving for some cereal this morning so I really enjoyed this but the absolute winner was
Poohs Breakfast Casserole it was kind of like a Peach Cobbler and was a totally delicious and very indulgent breakfast dish; I may have gone back for more
For some reason I cant seem to find a photo of DH breakfast
I think I may have been face down in a plate full of Poohs Breakfast Casserole when he returned from the buffet
but I did note down what he ate
He had some scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and for some strange reason a hard boiled egg
He commented that everything was great apart from the bacon which was the same 'pretend' bacon that he had (not) enjoyed at Wilderness Lodge
Whilst we were waiting for more of the characters we had time to head back to the buffet again
My second plate Puffed French Toast and Chocolate Mickey Waffle
I hadnt tried a chocolate Mickey Waffle before so was curious to see what I thought, it was OK but not particularly full of chocolate flavour and I much prefer the regular Mickey Waffles.
The Puffed French Toast was good, it was basically a sugar donut and there is nothing wrong with that
You may notice a lack of protein on my two plates but hey, carbs are an essential requirement of any self-respecting commando theme park tourist
Here is DH's second plate
Puffed French Toast, Pancakes and Poohs Breakfast Casserole
DH was also a big fan of the Breakfast Casserole and really enjoyed his second plate carb-fest
The star of the show popped by to say Hello
We settled our bill and headed out just in time for rope drop and worked our way around the attractions whilst the crowds were still light
We decided to leave Magic Kingdom just before lunchtime but couldnt resist picking up one of these on our way past Sleepy Hollow Refreshments
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich
We shared this between us and it was delicious!
A great use of a snack credit and more than enough for two to share, the cookies were fresh and the vanilla ice cream was wonderful
That afternoon we decided to head to Typhoon Lagoon and in between floating around the lazy river we grabbed some lunch from Typhoon Tillys
No photos of our late lunch as I didnt take my camera to the Water Park with me
I picked up a Tuna Sandwich with Chips; not as good as the WL sandwich but I still thought it was pretty good for a quick snack at a Water Park
DH chose the Fish Basket with fries; he was really impressed with the fish, the batter was lovely and light and was very fresh
Neither of us wanted dessert so declined to order one rather than take something only to throw it away
It was a beautiful day and the sun was blazing so it was the perfect time to slap on the sunscreen and enjoy the water; we really enjoyed our time at TL but soon it was time to gather our belongings and head on out as we had an exciting night ahead
Coming Up Next
.. Yee Ha! Its The Hoop Dee Doo Review
