Saving Time and Money on Breakfast

As much as a hot meal from our resort food court sounded great every morning, I was glad that we had planned ahead for other options for breakfast.  We brought a couple packages of store bought bagels from home, along with some butter and jelly packets, and apple sauce cups.  We would eat these while getting ready in our hotel room or on the way to the shuttle bus stop.  We also found that the resort gift shop sold boxes of doughnuts and bags of bagels.  They were a little more expensive than buying them at a regular grocery store, but still cheaper than eating in the food court.  Other breakfast food items you can bring from home are fruit cups, dried fruit, cereal bars, and individual boxes of cereal.  I also brought some instant oatmeal from home and used the microwave in the food court to cook it.  Our last morning we ate a hot breakfast at the food court, using a couple of our leftover quick service credits.  It was nice for a change but I’m glad we didn't start each day with a heavy meal.  My sister’s family ate at the food court most mornings and as a result, usually arrived at the park later than us.  The first hour of a park being open is the best time to go – almost no lines!
