Change of plans - suggestions?

[mchelle77]

We're paying OOP for food this time (first time we don't have free dining!) and my daughter is now 10. She's not a big eater and will happily pick at a kids meal, but I'm just now realizing that Chef Mickey's is adult price for her no matter what. I am NOT prepared to spend $40 on her for breakfast! (Especially since she's eaten there before AND has met the characters many times - we were mostly going because it's my mother's first time there and we thought it would be a fun sending off on our last morning.) I know she'll grab a muffin and some bacon and be done.

So anyway - any suggestions for breakfast the day we're leaving (outside of parks)? Somewhere that my kiddo can eat off the kids menu and it's not a set price? Not too adventurous, because my mother pretty much has the same palate my daughter has I was thinking Kona (those pineapple macadamia pancakes look pretty amazing!) But want a few other options to look into.

We loved our breakfast at Kona! Whispering Canyon Cafe comes to mind. If your departure day is Saturday or Sunday, the Swan has a character breakfast (Garden Grove) although I have no idea of the pricing. Trail's End offers a breakfast buffet and so does the Wave but of course the prices are set. Boma is another popular choice but I don't think that is what you are looking for.

I guess I'm not opposed to a set price, more that I'm opposed to the $40 price tag I'll take a look at those menus and prices, thanks!

Trails End is good, and the child's buffet is only around $11 or $12.

We ate at Whispering Canyon last trip. My fiance's a picky breakfast eater - sometimes he's in the mood for a big breakfast, other times he's fine with a $7 plate of bacon eggs and toast. WCC was perfect for this. We both ended up with the skillet for $16.49. The kids next to us had the kids portion of the banana bread french toast. I was uber jealous!

Thanks, right now I'm hovering between Kona and WCC ... my booking date is tomorrow, so I'd better get deciding

Kona Café did not impress me and my husband. We love it for dinner, but breakfast reminded me of IHOP. I was looking forward to the Tonga Toast and it was kind of a let down. That's may just be us though. Some people love it! Good luck!
