Mickey shaped food tastes better! -COMPLETE- 14 days with PICS

[beachgrl001]

Crystal Palace is a tradition for us. It started on our first trip to Disney and we've been here once on every trip since. It's not so much the food, but that they have Winnie the Pooh & Friends there. The Pooh Parade is adorable! Chip joins in occasionally.

Food! The buffet is like most Disney breakfast buffets in some ways. Here, they have the breakfast lasagna, Pooh's Puffed french toast, and then the usual breakfast food.

Here's some of what the buffet had:

Breakfast pizza:

Pastries, muffins, cakes, donut holes:

White gravy, Mickey waffles, scrambled eggs.

Omelette (fritatta?) , pancakes:

Potatoes, sausage:

Tomatoes, cucumbers, cubed cheese:

Eggs, jams, cream cheese, strawberries:

Puffed french toast, more breakfast pizza:

Now to our plates. I just pile everything on, so lets see how I'll identify everything.

Mickey shaped waffles! They're light and fluffy, crispy outside. And of course, being Mickey shaped is helpful too.

I see a biscuit in the left under the fritatta/omelette. I love biscuits. They're so chewy and flaky. I bought refridgerated biscuit dough from the supermarket (because our biscuits come from McD's or KFC ) and tried it out..it was nothing like a real biscuit. More like a dinner roll. Yes, I read the label. It said biscuit.

The fritatta/omelette. I'm not sure what the difference is so I'll refer to it as both. Yum! I won't eat eggs scrambled, sunny-side up, or boiled, but I will eat them if they're in an omelette or a fritatta (with everything, please).

Puffed french toast: That dark brown ball of fried dough covered in cinnamon sugar in the corner. I heard of it here and had to try it. Ooh, it's so good! Crispy on the outside but very light and chewy on the inside. I dunked them in the maple syrup.

Breakfast pizza: This was C's favorite. All he ate was breakfast pizza and bacon here and at Chef Mickey's. The dough is too chewy, though. I like thin crust, crispy and burnt. The pizza is very doughy, covered in scrambled eggs and cheese. I looked up the recipe online and it seems very simple. Most online actually used meat but this didn't.

Pancakes. Light and fluffy, this was taken before they were drowned in maple syrup. Another biscuit, potatoes. Too much oil on the potatoes...they stayed on the plate.

Disney has the freshest fruit! The grapes are crunchy and sweet. Watermelon, my favorite summer fruit, very refreshing and not mushy at all. Seedless chunks, too! I don't buy watermelon with seeds at home. Pineapple, another favorite, was very sweet. There's some cantelope in the back under the grapes, but I don't like cantelope so I didn't eat it. At the buffets we usually send one person up to get fruit on a plate and we'll share it.

French toast and maple syrup. This was the puffed french toast that was conveniently located riiiiiiiiight next to the maple syrup.

There was also this dish that I didn't take a picture of called Pooh's Breakfast Lasagna. Yum! It's like a warm bread pudding, like a cinnamon blueberry cake. It's pretty moist and it LOOKS disgusting but it tastes sooooooooo good!! My favorite, and I found the recipe online for this one as well.

All in all, our favorite tradition remains. We got tons of pictures of Pooh & Pals, clapped for the Pooh parade, and ate our favorite breakfast foods.

Your welcome. I am just glad I saw a delivery truck driving around while we there. I can't remember if it said anything on the wrapper but once I saw they were sold in theme parks in fl and ca on their website I knew I was in the right place. My husbands clients and coworkers loved them. I also sent some to family. Only problem is no one wants to know how many calories are in them. We didn't have any brownies in WDW but I ordreded a sampler package for ourselves and found everything was scrumptious.

I was thinking of getting one of the sampler packages. Definitely want cookies and brownies in it. If we weren't going in less than 3 weeks, I would have ordered them by now!

I was looking at that for a while, then found a menu of breakfast offerings online. At first I thought it could be lox but now I'm pretty sure that it is roasted ham.
