Tusker House- Animal Kingdom

Here is my review of breakfast at Tusker House in a nut shell:

Donald Rocks!

Once Upon a Holiday Snow White Breakfast at Saks Fifth Avenue

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of attending Disney and Saks Fifth Avenue's 

Once upon a holiday breakfast.

Enjoy Joffrey's Teas for some Disney magic at home!

I can say with sincere honesty that I did not know much about the Joffrey's company before seeing them pop up as a coffee producer in Disney Parks.  We immediately became vacation BFFs.

Without Joffrey's I wouldn't be able to make my way through 3am extra magic hours and then get up after a few hours to ensure a ride on Test Track at park opening.

At home however, I am not much of a coffee drinker. I am a tea girl!  While I am being honest here I should admit... I am a complete tea snob.  I love loose tea.  Tea sachets are so convenient and the taste is so much better than tea bags that I gladly pay the upcharge for the loose-tea-in-a-tea-bag flavor.

I tried Joffrey's Black Currant loose and Earl Grey sachets this weekend (Thanks to Joffrey's for sending them to us to sample!) The teas were sweet and smooth in all the right ways.  (similar to Harney & Sons)  I was more than pleased to find out that I can get these varieties right in Disney Springs on my next trip to Walt Disney World! I cannot wait to enjoy my favorite drink (iced chai) on my trip and grab some tea to bring home for future enjoyment.

Pizza Planet Arcade- Hollywood Studios

What's better than pizza?  Pizza with a side of video games!

This kool little spot tucked near the backlot of Hollywood Studios is based on the Pizza Planet restaurant from Toy Story.  It's loud, kids love it and it is a quick, efficient spot for lunch during a day of running around.  The choices are limited and the pizza is far from an authentic New York City slice but you leave feeling full, satisfied and recharged.

I like that there are limited choices on the menu which keeps the lines moving quickly.  We ordered and were off the line in five minutes with time to spare to play a few games.

My son loved the arcade games and the aliens from Toy Story that are "flying around" everywhere.  His only complaint was that there was no pepperoni pizza kids meal.  He wound up stealing his dad's pizza!  The children's pizza is much smaller so my husband got short changed.  Luckily we were on the meal plan and a chocolate chip cookie or cappuccino cupcake came with each meal.  I had the meatball sub which included a cute side caesar salad in a cup.

If you have a big group, this is an economical choice and one that will leave you feeling full.
Lunch entrees range from $8.50- $10.75.  If you do not have a big appetite you can share a meal and still leave feeling full.
