Breakfast at Tusker House and Ohana

[Joe'sgirl]

I am not tech saavy so there are no photos but I will describe my breakfasts in hopes that you get something out of it!
Tusker House first! Arrived at AK with 20 minutes to spare for our 8am reservation. We waiting in line for roughly 5 minutes before they brought the list with the reservations, checked our name and proceeded to let us go thru the turnstyles. Off we went, it sure felt cool being the first in line and the first in the park from what we could see anyway. Made our way down to Tusker House where they took our name again and had us wait just outside. Donald came out and was about 10 feet up the walk and my little ones went crazy shouting 'Hi Donald'! About a minute or 2 later we were ushered up, told to put down our bags and we got our photo with Donald. Then we were brought into the restaurant. Very clean, passed buffet on way and saw LOTS of food! Jungle juice was served immediately which my 5 year old loved. We were on the dining plan so they made note, explained how things worked and left us to go grab food. Husband and I took turns getting plates for the girls. Food was INCREDIBLE. They had the Mickey waffles, bacon and scambled eggs - the usuals. But they also had breads and bagels and spreads. Oatmeal with toppings, a warm bread pudding with fruit and vanilla cream to spread on it. They had ham, cut up fruit, little pieces of bread - the choices were plentiful and everyone found something they liked. We all had multiple trips!!! The placed filled up quick and as soon as we had sat with our first plates out came Goofy, Mickey and Pluto. The kids were thrilled, we were thrilled. I am DEFINITELY headed back there on our next trip. Can't say enough!!!! Will post Ohana next.

Our Ohana reservation was for 8:05. We took the bus to MK and the monorail and arrived a little before 8. We were given lei's and a pager which went off roughly 5 minutes or so after getting it. They took a family photo and led us to our table. There were already several folks seated and the characters were already out. We sat just as they were ready to do a parade some my kids grabbed maracas and followed Mickey around the place. They had the same type juice as Tusker House and also brought coffee. We were served pineapple bread and a cinnamon type bread which were delicious. They brought fruit out which was sweet and juicy. Then they brought out 2 trays off bacon, eggs, sausage and came around the table with the Mickey Waffles. Food was more mainstream here but delicious and the atomosphere is really the big sell for me given it caters to my kids. The parade happened one more time. It took quite a while for the characters to get over to us but they finally made it - Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and Mickey. We were happy and stuffed!!!! I had been to dinner here but never breakfast and I would definitely do both again.
