Breakfast in your PJs....

[PJackson]

OK, I'm gonna be sad and post my pics of the breakfast - please humour me Prob not the best pics - esp the last one but the lighting was dodgey - honest!!! The soft boiled eggs were amazing - my Mum had one every day and they were perfect!!

Wow Patsy it looks so yummy!

 

[PJackson]

It was Emma! I've posted this so that Torsie can decide whether her PJs are suitable of course....

Wow Patsy, that breakfast looks great. I will be able to 'acquire' some nice snacks... I showed my DH and it's the first time he's got genuinely excited to be staying at the DLH. When we went to the Santa Fe, my MIL was sticking all sorts of bits and pieces in napkins. It hadn't even occurred to me to do that! I will be doing it this time though, especially with three children who are bound to say they're not hungry until half an hour after breakfast.

What exactly do the people use to put in the breakfast things to make lunch?? do you just hide it in a carrier bag in your handbag or something?

Sorry If I sound so dumb but I knew people did this last year but was too scared to try lol

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

People usually wrapped the rolls in a napkin and put them in there bag.

It is not something we have done. I can see the time when through abuse the breakfast will no longer be free and we will copy the American parks by paying for this separately. Or as in Spain where notices are put up telling guests that any food removed will be charged for

Man! I love those photos!!!

Jack jsut saw them and is now very excited!

What I did in SL is take a sandwich bag down with me (I always travel with spares for liquids and stuff incase they leak in the case.

As we'll be having late breakfasts at DLH (after EMH) I doubt I'll be sneaking anything out as I should actually be able to eat some food by 10am.

I never, ever take anough to be my lunch or anything. Just the most I managed at breakfast any morning was half a youghurt and a glass of water, so I jsut took two rolls and put some ham and cheese in them and then ate them at about 10am in the parks. So it really was my breakfast.

 

[Melodyuk]

this is what I am thinking to take them for as my 9 year od needs to be up and about for 2 hours before he can eat anything, thats like me too, I cant eat as soon as I get up, normally after Ive walked the dogs I then fancy something

So I wouldnt actually be stealing, it would just be saving what I would have normally had in my included breakfast

 

[torsie24]

Exactly my thoughts too! Even after my 'stealing' I still only ate a yoghurt (or half!) and two rolls.

One day I took a rolls and a croissant, but I wouldn't suggest it as they dont trave well! Very squashed! Tried to eat it in te orbitron queue, lots of flakes!

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

I can't eat breakfast really early, which is why i'll prob take the odd roll etc with me so i can nibble on it later in the park.

 

[Melodyuk]

LOL @ the croissants not travelling well !! That made me laugh... do they get handbag sickness hahahahaha!!!

 

[Tillybud]

I'm loving the photo's of brekkie .... I am so going to have to save hard for next year so we can actually do DLH, it looks fab !!!

 

[joolz1910]

I'm like a lot of you in that I can't face breakfast first thing in the morning. I would eat very little - in fact my breakfast at home consists of a cup of tea. I was thinking of taking a croissant, yoghurt and an apple...not packing a hamper.

 

[PJackson]

I agree - I managed (had my arm twisted 'not' - to have a cooked breakfast and a little 'sweet' bit too - I'm breastfeeding so that's my excuse lol!). But I know it can be hard to eat breakfast so early. I don't think the odd roll and bit of cheese or meat is going to harm but like Reid says I suppose if people start filling picnic hampers lol! I think we only took an apple one day and the water (lol) and that was it really... I also think that if you have little ones it's a good opportunity to get some fresh fruit for later for them (not so easy to come by in the park so for some it's your only chance!!). As I said, I took my own fruit with me in my case as I wasn't sure what to expect and we made her have a banana every day with her breakfast while there so she did get some

My Mum was so bemused with the soft boiled eggs - she had one every day and every time it was perfectly cooked - she hates that white runny bit when it's not quite cooked but they were perfect white with yolk! Not sure how they managed

Sorry the 'hot' pic isn't great - the lights were orangey - suppose to keep it warm and I couldn't get in amongst the gannets properly to get the angle

PS - Not being funny but I've stayed in some nice hotels and I think the only better breakfast I've had was in Sri Lanka where the chef was there actually cooking things to order for you - eggs, waffles, pancakes - you name it - it was heaven So it really is a nice start to the day

 

[Melodyuk]

in Hotel New yok last year the breakfast came with hot option aswell, like in your photo, eggs bacon etc... is this the same for in the Sequioa lodge??? or was it because HNY was 4 *???

 

[PJackson]

Not sure Melody as I've never stayed there - hopefully someone else can help on that one?? I've heard the breakfasts are good at the HNY too and you don't have to book a slot like you do at the other hotels (I believe?)...

 

[torsie24]

Only HNY and DLH have hot breakfasts in the buffet.

At SL and NPB you can have a hot breakfast for 6E

 

[joolz1910]

Hi Patsy, yes that's a good point about breast-feeding - I'm doing that too so will need to keep my calorie intake high... I'm with you - taking a bit of fruit is ok, especially as it's not easy to come by. Some people do take things too far and spoil it for others but I don't see any harm in taking a little, especially if you are the last sitting as presumably anything left over will be thrown away!

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

I can't wait to have a hot fry up when i stay in the DLH and HNY.
