Are you so full from the breakfast buffet, that you skip the lunches?

First timer here. I'm just wondering that if there is so much food at the breakfast buffet, that you are way too full to even think about a lunch buffet. Looking forward to seeing these buffets for the first time in April!
 
Nah, but that's just me. I don't stuff myself, just eat what I normally would. I'm always hungry by lunch time. There is tons of food though at the breakfast buffet, so if you wanted to, you could eat enough so you wouldn't have to eat lunch.
 
It's not so much a factor of how much I eat at breakfast, but I rarely end up eating lunch on board. Maybe once or at the most twice during a seven-day cruise. On sea days, I usually have a late and pretty big breakfast at the buffet and then maybe just a snack during the afternoon (the chicken wings from the Outlook Bar are pretty good). On port days, we usually eat lunch at a local place in port after getting an early start and a quick breakfast.
 
On our 4 day in July, I didn't really have much for lunch. We ate breakfast later and I ate more than I normally do for breakfast, so I wasn't really hungry until 230 or so. I ususally just had a quick snack so that I didn't spoil my dinner. We had early seating last time, but we are going to have late seating next time, so I will probably get some lunches in.
 

WHAT? Skip a meal, never.
 
Sometimes we missed lunch because we were not hungry, and got a snack (that is what DH calls it) of Hotdog/ hamburger and fries to hold us over to ...get this... early dinner.

:rolleyes:
 
On Port days we aren't on board for lunch. You can order sandwiches the night before (such as PB & J for young kids) and take those with you the next day on-shore. This not only saved $$ but gave our young kids with picky eating habits just what they wanted. My wife and I bought local lunch, which was a nice change of pace from the ship lunches.
 
I usually eat the embarkation day lunch and the next day's lunch. After that I'm stuffed (and I'm a pretty big guy). I usually get some fruit and chocolate chip cookies somtime in the afternoon from Scoops. We usually don't get a real early start - up to breakfast by 9:30 to make it to some activity by 10 on sea days and we get up earlier if we have an early morning excursion. I usually have all "four courses" for dinner - appetizer, salad, entree and desert (maybe 2;) ). On the repo cruise I'll have to not eat so much at breakfast to save room for the lunch buffets on a few of those sea days.
 
We ate a regular breakfast, lunch, 5 pm burger, late seating dinner no problem. This was one less meal a day than on our other cruises since Disney doesn't have a midnight buffet......well they have 2 special ones on the 7 days, not one every night.
As I have posted before Disney really is an early to bed, early to rise cruise compared to other lines.......things really start to wind down by 11 pm.....which is when things started to get going on other cruises we've been on.
 
We ate in Palo's the night prior and then made
a 10:30AM ressie at Palo's for brunch the next
morning.

It worked out quite well and YES we skipped
lunch and by dinner we were ready to go :)

If we could eat at Palo's every night and do
the Brunch there it would be a given. Well
worth the $10.00 per person.
