‘Ohana Breakfast

One of the great things about Walt Disney World (& Disneyland) is the food.  There’s always something new to try and something to look forward to on your next visit.  There’s a whole community of Disney foodies out there (Hi!), but the food is still probably the least photographed part of Disney.

I’ve taken a picture of just about everything we’ve eaten at Disney in the past 6 years or so.  We, being my Disney buddy, the lovely Lady – aka my mom… & me.  (and various other friends and family)   I love looking at the food pics others post, as well as remembering my own experience.   I hope you all enjoy this segment, and if you find it useful in your Disney planning – even better!

"Family"

Let’s randomly start with the Best Friends Breakfast at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, featuring Lilo & Stitch.  This is a wildly popular character breakfast – served family style.

As you pass the imposing Tiki, your host grabs a basket of sweet breads and rolls (seen above) and escorts you to into the bustling dining room full of kids, characters and fun!

Aloha!

When we were seated, the server informed us that they were out of the signature fruit bread (even though there were 2 hours left for breakfast).  The Lady was very disappointed, and, in true Disney fashion, a couple pieces magically appeared to turn her frown upside down. 🙁 – 🙂

Yay!

And then comes Lilo’s special juice blend.  Mango and Guava, I think…

Fruity...

Chances are, a character or two will stop by the table before the really good stuff comes – a skillet full of goodness.  Mickey Waffles, sweet sausages, bacon, eggs and more!

Wait, where are my Mickey waffles?
There they are!

The food keeps coming, as long as you can keep eating.  And if you clean your plate…

That was very good...

You just might get a surprise…

Mickey!!!!

Great Value?

I was at Walmart the other day and I came across this bag of chicken things.  I was hungry, and they have no carbs, so I picked up a bag.  I didn’t have very high hopes, but I brought them home, microwaved a couple, and… they were good!

I made a “sandwich” using 2 patties, with shredded lettuce, chipotle ranch dressing, cheese and ketchup

 

And a salad with guacamole and a kumato…

They have a little bit of a rubbery texture that I really like, and they are surprisingly tasty.  Score one for Walmart’s Great Value!

Nature in the Neighborhood

The other night I had a dream about a parrot who turned into my mom’s cat.  I woke up to a hawk sweeping past my bedroom window.  What does it all mean?  No clue, but I grabbed my camera and found a couple critters hanging around when I took the dog out.

These two are deadly, but so beautiful…

I'm watching you - all of you...
Hawk-Eye

I’m not sure what kind of hawk they are – possibly Cooper Hawks.  They are huge!  The first one swooped over Woody, and was about the same size, or bigger.  If anyone knows about birds, please comment and let me know what you think.

Update: A coworker helped me do a little research, and we think they are Red-Shouldered Hawks – probably young ones.

Turn around, Bright Eyes
I blend in, right?

When the hawks took off, a little friend came to visit…

I like toast, but...
...but I was just wondering...
...Got nuts?
