I probably need some better breakfast plans, but don't want to do too many more buffets because the teens cost too much for what they eat. Maybe I'll do Kona one morning for breakfast.

Thanks for any help!

Some good choices. Are you doing the dining plan? May help out on some of the cost. Everybody says it is a great plan and they have saved a lot of money.

No dining plan here. I'm staying at Shades of Green and am not eligible.

Your plans look great! We do the same thing since we are not big breakfast eaters, we eat cereal in the room. We will usually make a little stop at the grocery store on the way and pick that up, as well as danishes etc. It is just too procey to do the sit down for breakfast for what we all eat. We would rather pig out at dinner! Hmmm maybe we are still full from dinner and that is why we are not big breakfast eaters!

Actually, *I* can be a big breakfast lover. I prefer to go to a breakfast buffet and PACK it in and then not eat all day (save for the Mickey Bar). That strategy, though, really only works well with adults as I find that the kids aren't good at packing food in like there's gonna be a famine. So even when taking them to a breakfast buffet, they are hungry a few hour later.
