Breakfast and Dining Plan - How does it work?

[MouseKids]

We (5 "adults" according to Disney, but really three adults, a 14 year old and a 10 year old) are planning to do the dining plan, and are hoping to split our CS credits between breakfast (using 2 CS credits?) and either lunch or dinner (whichever we don't do as a TS meal). We will be staying at CBR. What does a breakfast at the food court include on the dining plan? Can anyone share their experiences doing this? Thanks!

We are just back from a 5 night stay at Pop Century. We are a family of 6 so we used 2 CS credits for breakfast and 4 for lunch. The breakfast at the Pop was large. Usually we would get a waffle platter that came with a large waffle, bacon, sausage and a drink and dessert, which would be a bagel or croissant. Two breakfasts was plenty. We brought our own juice and a coffee pot and would get milk as the drink for breakfast.

The 4 CS lunches was more than enough to feed the 6 of us. My parents were with us and they almost always split one CS meal between them, and my Dad is a big eater. They had plenty of food.

Stayed at All-Star Music and for breakfast we could get any platter, dessert (danish, bagel, snack, etc.) and a drink (large orange juice, water, etc.)
There are rumors they might take away the dessert in 2006 - check with CBR. Possible breakfasts at CBR are breakfast platter, pancakes and meat, waffles and meat, breakfast sandwich, etc. Checkout allearsnet.com for further information on CBR's meals.

We stayed at CBR last winter on the dining plan. I just pulled out a receipt from breakfast there dated 03/02/05.

On this day we used 4 counter service meals for breakfast. This must have been the first attempt for us using the dining plan for breakfast, because I remember that later in the week we only used 2 counter service for breakfast and had plenty of food.

Here's whats listed on the receipt.

1 Isle Bounty
1 Western Omelette
2 Ham and cheese omelettes

1 cantaloupe bowl
2 pineapple bowls
1 strawberry bowl

2 small orange juice
1 chocolate milk (*this was a good size nesquik milk)
1 white lowfat milk

The totals are not listed on the receipt, but I wrote down $46.63 as the total. I wrote down most meal totals to see if the dining plan was worth the cost for our family. It definitely was!

If you have any other CBR food court questions re: breakfast just ask. I can probably dredge up more reciepts.
