    Breakfast buffet was good quality with hot and cold options, and was the easiest choice for eating with kids before heading into the Park. I’m glad we had the option because it made the mornings smoother. Available every morning: scrambled eggs, country potatoes, bacon and sausage, oatmeal, waffle makers (frequently needed cleaning/maintenance from user error), mini pastries, cold deli meat, hard boiled eggs, cheese cubes, sugary cereal with milk, cut melon, and baskets of whole apples, oranges, and bananas.
