When we went in '10, we found the 'Ohana breakfast to be one of our favorite meals of the trip. It was outstanding. Since then, I've done a bit more research into the breakfast spots of The World. Last time it was one breakfast the whole trip. This time, I wanted to make sure we hit a few places, without cutting out from our TS dinners too much.
This year we are going to hit up 'Ohana again. But we are also adding Kona and Crystal Palace. Everyone raves about Kona. As for Crystal Palace, this was a part of a review that put it on my map immediately after our last trip:

Yes, you had your usual scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits with sausage gravy, grits, breakfast potatoes. Most of these items were well-prepared and plentiful (although during our second visit to the buffet we found the grits to be too runny and the potatoes a bit onion-heavy). There were also cheesy cheddar potatoes, and made-to-order omelets, with a range of fresh fillings, from tomatoes and peppers to ham and an assortment of cheeses. But the items that were not so run-of-the-mill are what really caught my attention.
Most notably, there was an unusual breakfast lasagna that was simply wonderful: a layered composition of pancakes, waffles, pound cake, custard and pastry cream, mingled with assorted berries, bananas, cinnamon and nutmeg. (Yes, I got the recipe!) It was, I have to say, just yummy - but definitely not a low-carb option for those watching their diets!
...
An unusual presentation of French toast also graced the buffet table. Well, they called it "puffed French toast," but to me it looked and tasted like a light raised cinnamon doughnut. This is not a complaint -- it was delicious. I also spotted, but didn't have room for, frittata and specialty pancakes -- blueberry, peanut butter and chocolate!
