We're Still Hungry! A DDW July Getaway - 8/5 Complete!

[DonaldDoleWhip]

We're finally back home! It was an awesome trip as usual, full of magical moments and delicious food.

As mentioned previously, we stayed at the Contemporary for 3 nights, so after an early 6:30am flight, we made it to CR shortly after 10. After checking in, my mom went straight to the room to catch up on sleep, but I stopped at Contempo Cafe for some breakfast food.

Contempo Cafe has some great options for a deluxe resort CS location. Initially, I was planning on getting a nice, healthy breakfast - maybe some eggs and turkey sausage (which I did end up getting). But the Mickey waffle with bananas and salted caramel sauce was also calling my name. I ordered the Mickey waffle with a side of turkey sausage, and the scrambled eggs were an extra side dish.

Here's the plate of eggs (after I moved the turkey sausage from the waffle plate to this one). The turkey sausage was nicely spiced, with the flavor that I expect from a breakfast sausage. The eggs were also prepared well - they weren't too dry or too runny.

But of course, the star of this breakfast was the Mickey waffle. It was very fluffy on the inside (the parts with sauce on top were extra soft, which I like). To top it off, the sweet bananas and caramel added a great, dessert-like flavor (this is another one of those super sweet breakfasts - no need for maple syrup, IMO). I don't feel a need to get this again any time soon, but it was fun to try.

Contempo Cafe's breakfast satisfied me very much - the food was very good, and I enjoy watching the monorails glide through the concourse while enjoying my meal. After finishing, I promptly boarded a monorail to pick up my annual pass renewal at the TTC.

Laddie would be correct! That's what I get for basing my username on my favorite Disney character & snack, instead of something that actually describes me.

First review is almost done!

Oops! My apologies. I should have gone by the user name since it is soooo obvious that Donald is no where near a girl name! Scrolling to the next page to see your review!

My profile picture is of a female duck, which doesn't help things either. Hope you enjoy the first review!

Mickey Waffles!!!! That is always a great start to a dining review!! I need a user name that describes my favorite disney food so I shall henceforth be called WendyWaffleLover! (at least for the next 30 seconds - blink and you'll miss it.) See girl Dis character and my favorite dis food.

And I didn't know there was a guest services window at the TTC! See, your review is educational too! You know, with your renewed pass will come more Dis trips and with more Dis trips there will be more DonaldDoleWhip reviews!!!

Waiting for more......

Oh man...a Mickey waffle!!! In all these years that I've been going to Disney World, I have never had a Mickey waffle.

Love the new username. I picked up my AP renewal at one of the TTC's ticket/will call counters. Not sure if it's the same as the "guest services" windows at the various park entrances, but it got the job done.

Breakfast just isn't the same if it lacks ears and isn't smiling back at you.

 

[Linda67]

Oh my goodness, did you use the words 'Mickey Waffle' & 'Salted Carmel Sauce' in the same sentence??

Contempo Cafe Here I come

Donald, if THIS line:

doesn't deserve a visit from the Tag Fairy, I don't know what does.

 

[Tracerr00]

A salted caramel banana waffle??? Must have this!!!

Thanks to emmysmommy - now I have to figure out a new screen name as well. How about maleficentmushroomfilet?

 

[Smiling Cheshire Cat]

Back already, and with the good news that you've renewed your AP.

That Mickey Waffle is making the grapefruit I'm eating for breakfast look so sad.

Can't wait to read more!

 

[BlovesC]

Yaaaaaaaaaaay it STARTS! Happily settling in for more!

And that waffle looks AMAZING. I'm not too much of a waffle fan, but a Mickey waffle now and then really does the trick. But bananas! And caramel! That just sounds like perfection.

 

[pumba21]

YUM!! A mickey waffle...what a way to start vacation

 

[deenbrad]

Yay you're back! Looking forward to more reviews!

 

[MrsB1228]

Welcome back!! So happy to see the start of your dining reviews, and that Mickey waffle looks amazing! I'm not much of a waffle fan either, but I always have to have one every trip. Looking forward to the next installment!

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

I love salted caramel anything and that waffle looks delicious! No way I can fit that in though so I am erasing the picture from my memory file!

Anxiously waiting the shocking meal ... Narcoossee's in close but not Citricos. Grand Floridian Cafe???

 

[DisneyMomFanatic]

Count me in! I love reading your reviews and seeing your awesome choices in food. Your reviews have helped our family pick some places to eat for our upcoming trip and for some in the future as well.

 

[wilma-bride]

Welcome back and a great start to those reviews. Mickey waffles are great but GIANT Mickey waffles are great-er

 

[smile4stamps]

You had me at Salted Caramel and Bananas!! Do they have this anywhere else or is it a Contempo Cafe exclusive?!?!?

 

[jerseytinkerbell]

Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful trip! That waffle sounds too good to be true. Adding it to the ever-growing "list."

Can't wait to read more!

I hope you enjoy it! The caramel sauce didn't taste too "salted", but it was still great in combination with the banana and waffle.

I didn't know what the tag fairy was, so I googled it - thanks for that! The tag fairy must have a very fun time looking for quotes.

What a great character/Disney food combo (although I have to wonder how Maleficent would react if she couldn't get an ADR at Le Cellier )

At least your grapefruit was healthy! Mickey waffles are great, but I felt somewhat guilty after eating it (don't worry - the guilt didn't last long).

Yaaaaaaaaaaay it STARTS! Happily settling in for more!

And that waffle looks AMAZING. I'm not too much of a waffle fan, but a Mickey waffle now and then really does the trick. But bananas! And caramel! That just sounds like perfection.

It was a lovely breakfast - perhaps it would be worth trying after a morning at MK!

YUM!! A mickey waffle...what a way to start vacation

Agreed - it wasn't part of my original breakfast plans, but it definitely started things off on a delicious note.

Yay you're back! Looking forward to more reviews!

More reviews are coming up! I'm frustrated that there's so much "filler" before I get to the really good stuff, but it's coming!

Normally I don't go crazy for Mickey waffles, but this trip I actually ate 2 (the second one was smaller). Both were worth it

You'll have to wait and see.

Count me in! I love reading your reviews and seeing your awesome choices in food. Your reviews have helped our family pick some places to eat for our upcoming trip and for some in the future as well.

Thanks so much! I'm happy to hear that my reviews have helped you out, and hopefully something in this set of reviews will perhaps encourage you to try something new.

Welcome back and a great start to those reviews. Mickey waffles are great but GIANT Mickey waffles are great-er

So true! I didn't even realize that Mickey waffles came in this size, since I'm so used to seeing the mini ones.

You had me at Salted Caramel and Bananas!! Do they have this anywhere else or is it a Contempo Cafe exclusive?!?!?

I think this particular dish is a Contempo Cafe exclusive. However, Roaring Fork at Wilderness Lodge has mini Mickey waffles with bananas foster sauce. Both are very good.

Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful trip! That waffle sounds too good to be true. Adding it to the ever-growing "list."

Ah, that "list". As soon as you think you're nearly finished with your list, it starts growing again. Must be thanks to that Disney magic.
