I promise I won't bore you with our quick breakfasts *every* morning. 
But breakfast at Contempo Cafe was something we did just about every morning, supplemented by a variety of leftovers.
The first morning I got a Breakfast Burrito for Eeyore. He thought it was good, but not good enough to order again. $7.69
I shared a Bounty Platter with the kids. An absolute TON
of food for $8.29 it has scrambled eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, breakfast potatoes, french toast AND a biscuit. Most mornings after this we ordered two of these to supplement leftover food and the division went like this:
Eeyore and I, scrambled eggs and breakfast meat.
Pirate Boy, enough syrup to float a ferry and *both* slices of French Toast
Princess, breakfast sausage and *both* biscuits, smothered in Strawberry jam
Court Jester, some juice and a bit of blueberry muffin, leftover desert from our many late night CS flatbread pizza adventures here at Contempo Cafe.
We found the food to be hot, fresh and quite delicious. Every bit as good as you would get at your local diner.
Ordering at the Contempo seems to confuse folks a little bit, but if you have read about it or try it once or twice, it is a breeze. You walk up to a line of touch screens and chose your main courses and hot or cold side dishes and print out a receipt when you are done. You then pick out a desert and/or 2 beverages (assuming you are on the DP) and head for a register. You pay, with CS credits or cash and they hand you a buzzer just like the kind you get at most table service places in WDW. When your buzzer goes off, you find your food at the window -- just off the grill or griddle and under the heat lamp. If you want it to go, they throw a to go lid on right there for you. They also have paper sacks with handles if you want to bring it back to your room
. We did this a couple of times for late night snacks and at least once for breakfast.
We usually shared a couple of juices: orange, apple and a few blends are available ($2.59 each) and grabbed our "desert' drink as a Dasani water for our park bag ($2.50 each). We did not mind the water fountains and on the warmest days, we did fill our Dasani bottles at the fountains, but found that it was really helpful to have water always on us.
This morning it would have been $27.15 OOP but we used 2 CS credits and were off to Animal Kingdom.

I'm so glad I have a following. I'm not that witty and I don't have as many pictures as I'd like but I am so happy that lots of people have joined in and are reading my reviews.
I learned so much from reading the DIS!!! You all really made my trip. I can hardly believe that I did our honeymoon trip in 1998 with only my Unofficial Guide. The book is great and the website very helpful, but I really felt like my trip and meal planning came together at the very end of my planning because of all the great information I got from my DIS board friends.
I've been slow for a bunch of reasons: Christmas, kids home and stuck in the house for a very cold school break, New Years and the final funeral -- left over from 2009, the year of deaths in our family
That and 503 errors. Here's hoping that the server work yesterday will make it possible for me to do the rest of my reviews in Firefox. I simply HATE Internet Explorer.
I will do my best to keep this moving along now that the New Year is here. I really want to give you the best of my impressions and not forget anything.
Thanks for reading!

Eeyore had a double espresso at 10:30 at the Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery. It must have been pretty good, because he is a major coffee snob and he didn't complain 
It was $4.19 and he got it for a snack credit. Further confirmation that some single serve snacks over $4 are included in the plan.
After that we stopped for a family snack because our Yak & Yeti ADR wasn't until 2:30
We stopped at the Harambe Fruit Market for something that DISers had recommended ... Jalapeno Pretzels. They did not disappoint. YUMMMY! The crazy Princess ordered Cheetos (OK, I guess that is somewhat of an appropriate snack at Animal Kingdom, but come ON kid
) Court Jester ordered a regular pretzel and then insisted that virtually all of the salt be removed.
Our total would have been $19.05 but we used 5 Snack Credits and were just fine until our lunch. The Jalapeno Pretzels are another over $4 example -- their menu price was $4.19. Regular pretzel was $3.79 & Cheetos were $2.69 (double your local quick mart price, it was the super large bag)
Coming soon -- the best pictures of the whole review -- lots of food pictures and tons of restaurant interiors of Yak & Yeti. Stay tuned!

Alright, things have been crazy! Can I go on vacation again?
Anyway, you all have been patient long enough. I haven't got time tonight to review the food but here are some pictures of the inside of Yak & Yeti. Most were taken on the upper level, which is where we had our feast.
And if you think those look great, just what until you see the food.

Subbing and loving your reviews. You're a great writer! I can't believe I'm actually back dising a year before our next potential trip. Which is closer than originally planned by about two and a half months - that MUST mean I need to read dining reviews right now doesn't it?
