"Here's what we had..."

"Hard boiled egg, croissant, and an apple muffin."

"Corn flakes and fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew."

"Plain bagel and a coconut danish."

"This was our view at breakfast...the entire Boardwalk."

Next we have an update from a new reporter, Angebee.


She said, "We were up since 2 a.m. yesterday (6 a.m. Sat for me) and just enjoyed our first day. So sorry we forgot about the food!! Here is our snack-credits breakfast from Landscape of Flavors on our way to Hollywood Studios."

"Minute Maid Apple juice, Apple Danish, blueberry muffin & grapes."



"The baked goods were 'good'. The grapes were refreshing but the bottom half were sour or crushed. Sad because those are my fave snack." ​

I have many updates leftover from yesterday, so let's get started with milmore104's lunch at the Coronado Spring Resort's...

"My mom and I shared the chicken quesadilla. Very good! I smothered it in guacamole and salsa. So good!"

"My middle DD had pizza. No picture because she ate it before I got back to the table with our food."

"While my little DD had a liquid lunch...chocolate milk."

"And of course my DD finished with churros. If you are keeping count, that's 4 so far."

And also this simple, yet tasty snack update...
