IOA:
Confisco's Character Breakfast. If you want to meet the Cat and the Hat and a couple other characters, this could be a fun choice. It's a buffet, but is $14 or $15 per person.
Croissant Moon Bakery: I love breakfast here! Great Ham, Egg, and Cheese Croissants. Plus, other good breakfast foods like Krispy Kreme donuts!
US: Need help on this one...what is the name of the restaurant right at the entrance of Universal??? They serve Croissants and many other pastries during breakfast. Many desserts like cheesecake (Cheesecake Factory brand) and apple turnovers.
I know the one you mean - we bought some wonderful fresh pastries in there - really delicious- and there's the icrecream place - something Pharmacy - I had a chat with Laurel and Hardy in there!! Not exactly breakfast but nice Milkshakes and cookies.
Do you know if any of the GB's do things like that and go into a restaurant or somewhere like Laurel and Hardy did?
lol Selina! To be honest, I do not know...I spend all my time in the New York area awaiting the next show (unless I actually do something like see the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue, HMS, or MIB). But, if I were to guess, no, don't think they would...however, you never know.
I bet they do out of costume. Who would recognise them? You would!!! I would recognise GIO2 definitely as I've "studied" him in detail.....MMmmmm. But generally speaking - I should think they could mingle with the crowds quite easily.
Selina - yeah, I recognize them out of costume. I've seen GIO2, GICBH3, GIG3 and a few others out of costume...I wasn't looking for them, but I happened to walk past them and recognized them. Also, I've seen a few out of costume because one time they were out of costume for the mic check (don't know why...but they were).
But, it's not too hard to recognize them. The first time I saw a GB out of costume, it was when I took my cousin to Universal for the first time. She only saw the show about 2 or 3 times and later that day we were hurrying to the Horror Makeup Show from Earthquake and we walked past a cute guy. I thought he was a GB and then my cousin turned around and said something like,"That guy was in the Ghostbusters Show!!!!!" She began to like the show a lot more after that...
But yeah, if they are out of costume, they'd more likely go somewhere within the park.
The site that Jessica posted is pretty good with menus and prices but remember sometimes its better to share as the kids are excited etc and do not eat as much as normal and that goes for big kids as well
