On our way to CR we decided we had enough time to stop for something gingerbread at The GF. When we got there (this being 5 days after x-mas) they had virtually nothing to choose from. I didnt want to come out empty handed since they didnt have a shingle, which is what I really wanted. So we got one gingerbread people cookie. We paid 4 bucks for it. I thought it was too sugary. We actually didnt even open it until we got home and it was crushed by then. The gingerbread part was OK but there was too much sugar sprinkles on it. I love me some sugar so this is really saying something when I tell you it was too sweet. Oh well.
We got to Chef Mickeys at about 10:30am for our 11:10am ADR. We relaxed for a bit but for too hungry to wait and checked in about 10:40am. We got our pics taken
and were seated by 10:45. I was kinda annoyed we came out a little to the side and the photographer didnt say anything but whatever, Tinkerbell filled in the gap!
We got our Special Day Anniv place mats!
And got our special cupcake.
The food was really good, a step up for breakfast buffet in my opinion. I tried a little of everything and was happy with all I tried. There is a breakfast lasagna thingie that was so good DH waited for another to come out for about 10 minutes! I am glad you can choose from the kids menu stuff too because I need mickey waffles in my life!
The character interaction was great as well. They are always so orderly that it makes having breakfast with characters so easy and fun.
We got tired around mid day and took a well needed break. For some insane reason I was hungry so we went to Everything Pop to get a small something. We had rented a fridge from the wonderful people in the fridge swap, on the budget boards, so if I didnt finish it I figured I could save it for later. I ended up getting a Chicken Mediterranean Wrap with an apple juice and a Twinkie Tiramisu. The wrap was made as I ordered it and took a short while to be made but I knew it was fresh. I had to hunt out a Tiramisu but that was one dessert I wasnt missing out on!
The wrap was really yummy. We brought back ½ the wrap and the juice and dessert for later. When I did finally eat the tiramisu it was delish! I enjoyed it a lot, it was a neat twist on an already yummy dessert. Def try it!
We had a 6:30pm ADR @ Boma. I was real excited about this one; I had heard really good things about it. We got there about 6:15pm and were seated within a few minutes.
The only thing specifically I can remember from this plate was the hummus and chips which are at 6oclock on the plate. The rest were salads, as that was my 2nd plate!
Seafood Soup (All the soups were yummy!), watermelon rind salad (I loved this but DH didnt) and some salad with apple vinaigrette (I think) on it.
Desert! The famed Zebra Domes (yum-o), banana canoli and bread pudding.
We also were in love with the Butternut Squash soup! It was like desert itself! Also calamari salad, prime rib that melted in your mouth, fru-fru & bootie w/cornbread. I dont think there was much I tried that I didnt like! There is a TON to choose from so be really hungry when you go here!
I really learned a lesson in planning over the first few days. Even tho I did my research I didnt realize Id given us so many buffets in such a small span
so take it from me SPACE OUT BUFFETS!
