I don't have pics but we had breakfast there 5 times on our trip before Christmas. Meals include Mickey waffles for both adults and kids with choice of sausage or bacon, bounty platter which includes scrambled eggs, choice of meat, small Mickey waffle, biscuit, potatoes (enough to share), croissant sandwich with scrambled eggs and bacon, African inspired platter with eggs, a tomato and vegetable sauce, lamb sausage, and a biscuit I think (DH got this and I don't remember if potatoes came with it or not), bobotie which is eggs with turkey and beef.

We had the dining plan and for snack credits we got coffee cake, chocolate croissant, fruit cup and yoghurt parfait for breakfast.

I thought the food was pretty good. We also had a couple of different kinds of the flatbread for a light dinner and they were very good!

We loved AKL!

thank you so much for that info!

another one with no photos but recent info. We ate there for breakfast three times during our trip in the last week of October.

Main negative for us is that although they open at 6.30am the cooked breakfasts aren't served until 7am. So the first day we tried we had cheese danish, cherry danish, croissants and fruit cups. All for a snack credit.

For cooked breakfast the previous poster is exactly correct. We had a kids mickey waffle which was two waffles, pot of syrup, and either bacon or chicken sausage (not keen on the sausage). The adults waffle was one big waffle with the above and wasn't as good as the kids in our opinion. If paying oop would definitely have the kids wafle option. The adults African breakfast was poor. Some sort of grits, a spicy ratatouille kind of dish and sausage and eggs. The adults bounty platter was bacon, sausage, biscuit, eggs and mickey waffle. We don't care for the biscuits and asked them to omit them, they very kindly substituted with extra bacon.

You both have given me the exact info I was looking for! I think that I will be fine with a kid's breakfast plate, and the husband can choose for himself!

when you say you don;t care for them is that the taste, or the fact that it is one more starch on top of the waffle and/or potatoes?

I try not to overload on heavy starches first thing in the morning but I do love me some biccies....

I think you have to blame it on our nationality not the Mara or WDW biscuits to us are scones, scones should be sweet (to us) not savoury (unless the cheese variety) and served with clotted cream and jam in an afternoon and never ever at breakfast
We embrace most USA delicacies (brought back our ranch dressing, have been introduced by another diser to Duncan Hines cakes which has become a serious addiction and adore most other foods at WDW) but the biscuits don't do it for us.

ahh so biccies equals cookies to you.. heheheh.

I consider the scone to be an entirely different animal myself.

Hidden Valley Dry dressing mix or the pre made bottled stuff?

I have Aussie and Irish friends who go crazy over some of our chocolate candies like m&ms. so I trade em for Tim Tams and real Cadbury....

and last year i sent 12 boxes of Twinkies to a friend in Fremantle.

Yes, definitely lost in translation. The dry dressing mix - we have kept the last packet for tonight. Seeing out 2011 with burgers and a USA style fixing bar LOL.

Our wonderful dis friend traceroo has sent some wonderful delicacies (which soon became addictions) in exchange for UK chocolate.

We are now seriously addicted to ranch dressing, famous amos, jif peanut butter, wonka nerds, pretzel M&Ms and the girl scout cookies - garden grocer fulfills our needs once a year and also fills one of our four suitcases.

I have family in Australia who have done the decent thing and enticed us with tim tams but they complain that their Cadbury chocolate isn't as good as ours

Happy New year!

 

[Mrsjvb]

they are right! British Cadbury is definitely superior. however they do have Violet crumble and caramel koalas so that makes up for it.

when I lived in Japan there was a local specialty store that sold goods from all over the world and I would get my Tim Tam and Mint/Orange Slice fix there.

if you think Famous Amos are good you should try Berger cookies. local to Baltimore MD

warning: seriously addictive.

I have a half dozen or more Mara photos in this set from last year. They may not all be marked, but if it looks like router service food from a hotel it is Mara.

There may be more in the other sets from December. Feel free to browse.
