We are often too excited to dine in our resort room, and as we don't have children to feed, we tend to wait until we get to the parks to pick up something to eat. In addition, neither of us are very hungry first thing in the morning, and need to be up and about for a couple of hours before we are ready to eat. A typical quick breakfast for us on a Disney trip would be a Rice Krispie treat! Not very nutritious I know, but it gives us the required sugar boost and takes the edge off early morning hunger. With the advent of the Dining Plan, (which has been free for us Brits over the last few years), we find we are dining at least once "properly" during the day, so we don't feel too bad just picking up snacks for breakfast. When we were in Disneyland, California for the first time last October, we discovered a wonderful breakfast opportunity at the Pacific Wharf Café in Disney California Adventure, one of the few dining locations in that park that serve breakfast. Initially, we ordered the breakfast croissants, which did look delicious -- soft and fluffy croissants, filled with bacon, scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, for $5.99. But then we saw the egg and bacon boules, a sourdough bread bowl filled with scrambled eggs and bacon, with grapes and orange slices on the side, so we managed to change the order to those, particularly as they were the same price. They were massive! And with hindsight, probably we should have shared one – I couldn't finish all the bread and had to wrap half of it up in a napkin, thinking I would eat it later, (it ended up in the fridge for a few days, and in the end my husband finished it off late one night). The bread is made on site, (you can watch the process in the Boudin Bakery tour next door). The bacon was really crispy, and the eggs were fluffy and not at all heavy or lumpy. The bread was very fresh, although a little strong-tasting, but this was balanced out nicely with the fresh fruit. We thought this was excellent value for money, particularly with the addition of the fruit, and it kept us going for many hours that day! In keeping with our theme of rather unhealthy breakfasts, one morning we visited Flo's V8 Café in Cars Land for apple and cheddar pie, and pumpkin pie. Both of these were lovely; not too sweet, and the crisp and fresh-tasting pastry helped to keep us full for longer.
Across the way in Disneyland park, we discovered the delights of the Jolly Holiday Bakery, which had an amazing assortment of fresh baked goods. On two different visits we tried the Matterhorn Macaroon, (yummy!), the Seasonal Mickey Cookie, which on that occasion was shaped like a bat, and a pumpkin muffin, all of which were really good – very freshly made, and delicious.
