CHAPTER 14 JAMBO, TUSKER HOUSE
We arrived 9 minutes late and checked in at 9:34. There was a gigantic line, so much so that they had CMs outside serving hot chocolate and breakfast treats. We stood under the warmth of a patio heater while we waited to be summoned by the main man, or duck, Donald.
There were lots a people watching to be had as everyone was milling around. We saw one gentleman walking around with his 2 y/o daughter on his shoulders, he walked right into one of the thatch umbrellas they had set up and smacked her head off of it, when she proceeded to cry he scolded her for not looking out for herself.
We laughed to ourselves under our own heater, some people
Finally, JAMBO!!! I felt like I was on PisR, COME ON DOWN!!! It was time for food. We got a quick picture with Donald; they would not let us pass without one, even though we never had any intentions of buying the picture, here is our DIY picture.
We headed to our table and were told our server would be with us shortly. When she arrived we were pleasantly surprised, she was from right now they road from home, we forgot to write down her name but she was from Tilbury, ON. We discussed the 401 Highway and the Tilbury Auto Mall, it was nice to talk with someone from home. She explained the menu and the characters and then we were on our way.
My first plate starting at the obvious - Mickey waffle, bacon, eggs, blueberry muffin, potatoes, tater tots
Danielle's Plate - Eggs, Potatoes, Chocolate Croissant, bacon
DD's Plate - Mickey Waffle, breakfast pizza thing, cinnamon roll, peameal bacon under sausage rounds, potatoes, and tater tots
DM's Plate - Boring, the same as everyone elses
The characters followed by very close together, it was nice since we got the visits out of the way. Goofy, and Daisy stopped by first.
After Daisy they announced the musical parade in the restaurant, Danielle was wondering why they had to give them such loud instruments, she thought it would be better to give the kids nice dance ribbons, I told her Im sure she could put that in the suggestion box on the way out. Danielle and I took this as an opportunity for more food.
Mom wanted to try the bread pudding and was pleasantly surprised. She also opted for some plantain banana, not so good. The banana bread was normal.
After the parade Mickey stopped by, we visited with him then we were on our way to the safari.
Brunch at the Tusker House is always delicious and fun, they have an excellent selection and we never seem to have to wait long for characters. The food lines move quickly due to the large open buffet area, this restaurant is definitely a family favourite.
I am sad to say that on our next trip in September we actually changed our reservations and Tusker House had to be sacrificed, I will miss it.
