Jeanette's next update was from their breakfast yesterday inside Magic Kingdom's...











First a menu pic...






And an interior pic...







They started with an assortment of breakfast pastries...







Jeanette said, "DH and I had the stuffed French toast. It was really good."








"DD had an adult portion of the child's French toast. She wasn't overly impressed but that's more to do with her fussiness than the quality of the food!"







"Character interaction was spot on. Not sure we'd go out of our way to repeat this, but we wanted to eat in the castle and enjoyed it."
