People say they can't imagine cooking on vacation -- when it means
getting good, affordable food without a bunch of waiting around, I can't
imagine NOT cooking on vacation!

It's always a madhouse in there in the mornings. I've only seen it
empty late in the day.

That is surprising! I think the general consensus is Chef Mickey's
isn't very good any more. I've got the CP on my to do list for next
year, for lunch. I've only had breakfast there.

What a mellow day! Sounds absolutely perfect. Only the best Disney has
to offer, and lots of vacation food and relaxing. Maybe Isaac had to
spend his time in Adventureland because he has your genes?

We'll have to track you down for breakfast, too. I can only do so

We love CP for breakfast but it sounds like we'll have to try it out for
lunch next time!

Sounds wonderful! One of these days I would like to do Cirque. I just want
to make sure both of my girls are old enough to enjoy it.

Thanks for the report!
