Tuskner House
The next morning we had an early day for our first ever character breakfast! We had 8 o'clock reservations at Tuskner House. I was a bit worried it would be hard to get everyone moving after our late night, bit excitement took care of that for me. We made it to the buses about 6:50...and our bus came at 7:15. We didn't mind the wait, it was a pleasant morning.
We made it to Animal Kingdom and were quickly let in with the rest of the morning breakfast people. And I was able photos without crowds. Which may be my favorite part of an early morning reservation.
We took our time getting to the restaurant and when we got there it wasn't long before our name was called. They lined everyone up to take a photo pass picture before you go in which was nice.
We were seated pretty close to the buffet, coffee was in the table and we were given the best juice I have ever tried. Our CM, Neil, was hilarious. He made it an even more enjoyable breakfast.
I really like the atmosphere, although we didn't get any pictures that do it justice.
The food selection was great.
Breakfast Buffet –
Breakfast Selections: Assorted cream cheeses, jams, jellies and fruit chutneys, yogurt station, fresh fruit, milk, waffle station, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, potato wedges, cereal, biscuits & gravy, veggie frittata, Ham & cheese frittata, corned beef hash, cheese blintzes, beef Bobotie quiche, yam casserole, carved rotisserie honey ham, oatmeal, porridge, cinnamon rolls, assorted muffins and breads, turnovers, danish, and croissants.
I loved the potatoes, the yam casserole, the cinnamon roll (which was like a spoon bread thing). Te eggs, bacon and normal breakfast fair were good too. But more than anything that juice! Soooo good!
It looks like we didn't take any pictures of the food. I wish I had taken more inside this restaurant, but the characters started coming pretty quick, and the food was so good, other things took priority
Here is goose mesmerized by one of the characters and behind him you can see a selection of the kids fair.
We were the first table to see the characters, which was good and bad. Like I said they came really quick. When Donald came I wasn't ready at all and Mr. Incredible was at the Buffett! I did captures gooses face when he saw Donald, he looked started and then excited.
We gave him a hug and then goose moved over a seat because he thought Donald was going to eat with is (ooops I may have said we are having breakfast with Donald, watch your wording when speaking with a 3 year old). Luckily he understood that Donald had to see the other girls and boys.
Goose had his eyes glued to Donald.
Then Daisy came our and we were slightly more prepared.
And goose tried to eat while not taking his eyes off these large ducks.
Then we see Goofy coming.
And finally Mickey!
The good thing about being the first stop for the characters is we had seen all the characters and had the to eat plenty by 8:50 which left us just enough time to head over to the Safari and beat the crowds!
Up next, Our Animal Kingdom Morning.
