I'm so glad you had a solid experience with the Captain's Grille breakfast buffet! I like how it has a relatively quiet, relaxing atmosphere, and the buffet has an impressive variety of food (while still costing much less than character meals). Whenever we're staying in the Epcot area, it's a must-do for me.
Also, those Mickey waffles look really good right now!
Two out of three positive dining experiences here tells me that our first time wasn't a true reflection of this place. And I agree with your observation that the food is just as good as any other buffet and so much cheaper with no characters. Glad to know you endorse Captain's Grille as well.
Ditto what DDW said. Very glad to hear that you had another good experience. Captain's Grille seems to get very mixed reviews. I am not sure that we will ever get there for breakfast but it's good to know that it is an option.
Looking forward to your Sci Fi review. We haven't been in a few trips and debating if we should go back.
Hi Vicki! I'll get to Sci-Fi in a minute!
I'm not a huge breakfast eater, particularly buffet breakfasts, but I'm quite glad your experience seemed positive.
Hi there! The good thing about this place is you can order a la carte off the menu if you are a light eater. So many great options here.
I love the Captain's Grille breakfast buffet! Any place with unlimited Mickey waffles is considered alright in my book.
Yay! A fellow Captain's Grille lover! I'd have to fight you for the last Mickey waffle it sounds like!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I have never been there, but it looks quite good. I love Mickey waffles too, I think I like they way they look the most
As I always get them, have a bite and that's it.
Hi Lori! I hope you are enjoying your trip! Those waffles are unique but I'm impressed that you can stop at one bite!
Oh man, there's those Mickey waffles again! I'm making it a mission to try a Mickey waffle on my next trip...even if I have to eat it all by myself.
One day Barb, we'll get you to try them. Do you have a next trip yet?
Well, I am now at least caught up on one of your reports! Those bakery items at the Boardwalk Bakery look yummy! I'm do glad you enjoyed Yak & Yeti....we need to get back there (haven't been since 2008). I am now drooling over Captain's Grille; I've heard only good things about it.
Hi there Kathy! I would welcome you back but I think you have a few more days in FL having a great time with Nicki! Yes, I enjoyed Y&Y, so glad we tried it. If you don't already have all of your plans set for your Dec. trip try to squeeze in Captain's Grill.
I wish you safe travels back home.
I didnt enjoy the buffet breakfast at Captains Grille - I think I caught it on a bad day as DH and DD went without me on our last day (I was packing in peace) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was overly spicey or plain old bland. The Captains Frittata was basically baked egg the day we had it. I tried a bread muffin and could have put a window out with out! Not the best day to visit!
Oh no! Those descriptions sound similar to my first visit to Captain's Grille. Sorry that didn't work out.
I am so glad we are staying at the YC and have CG booked for breakfast instead of Cape May. The buffet looks amazing!
We have been for breakfast twice before and wasnt very happy with it but that was over 5 years ago so its time to give it another go!
Hi Nicki! I was there 2 years ago when it wasn't good and it took a couple trips for me to try it again so maybe now's the time for another try? Sounds like you are having a wonderful time in FL. And to see that you have another trip in Oct. AND Feb.
sounds like Captain's Grill has been very hit or miss! (I was going to just type CG but that is what I type for California Grill lol) I only have 3 breakfasts scheduled during our trip. The rest will be dependent on if we want breakfast or just wait for lunch! I will keep this one in mind if we decide we need another breakfast meal! I love a good frittata!
What are your 3 breakfasts? I would love to take it easy in the morning and not worry about breakfast ADRs but I would be starving if I had to wait until noon to eat! I'm the one who prefers sit down breakfasts in our family.
Great minds really do think alike
I love oatmeal as well .... How very rock and roll of me
And don't even get me started on Mickey waffles - the BEST
A perfect start to the day (especially if you had thrown in a breakfast cocktail)
Hi fellow oatmeal lover. I seriously eat it almost every day - I buy those packets of instant oatmeal and have a packet every morning but on weekends I try to actually cook it.) AND you like Mickey waffles! We are bound to be pals!
I'll start thinking about options for October for our get together.... so many choices.
It sounds like you need to go on a
Disney Cruise. Mickey Waffles for breakfast everyday! Krispy Kreme donuts and Mickey waffles for breakfast, my oldest calls it his cruisual.
Hi SweetSpot! Your kid is clever!
I've been on the wrong cruises in the past because my waffles were not Mickey waffles on the ship!! Hmmmm.... good to know where to have the perfect breakfast and enjoy a the open seas at the same time.
You know, I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a mickey waffle. Shockiing I know. 18 trips and nary a mickey waffle has been had by me. I am just not a waffle fan, even if in the shape of the great mouse.
You and Jabead!!! If you aren't a waffle fan then I suppose it can't be helped!
Great review of Captains Grill. I think I need to add another breakfast to our trip. I am trying to get Tusker House but this could maybe be a back up.
Thanks! Are you packed and ready to go? You leave in 3 days - how exciting!! Are you staying at YC? If so, Captain's Grille is right there!!
