I can't echo enough though what's been said here so far about Mimi's though. Great breakfast. Great service. Not as good a view of the monorail (since I think the trees and bushes it goes behind), but it is in a nice location I think. I haven't been to Millie's though. And I agree with Tink-Mobile, Mimi's and Hojo's are a perfect fit in that area, both great places of business. I don't think I've ever considered Capt. Kidd's before, walking by it though with my Dad once it may have peaked my interest. But, I appreciate the heads up, Darkbeer so thanks! Ok, how about we vote what should go in place of Captain Kidd's?

Okay I'll chime in here with my story. About 8 years ago we were visiting DL with my in-laws who are big buffet fans. We were staying at FFI so we decided to give good ol' CK's a try. My husband and I found the food simply non-edible. We walked out of there hungry, angry, and worried about possible food-poisening of our children, and myself (who was pg with #4 at the time)...meanwhile my in-laws seemed to have nary a complaint. We usually go to Millies for the "kids eat free" promotion- but can handle that only once per vacation. I agree Mimi's would be a better choice.

Originally Posted By BoyStory Yes, crazycroc, your imaginative children's books would rival those in the "taste" of the "Super Diaper Baby" and "The Day My Butt Went Psycho" series' . Good stuff...goooood stuff! . Storyline for your 1st book could be a tantalizing account of a vacationing family that unknowingly dines at a rat-infested buffet near a famous theme Park.... and the trouble that ensues. I'll leave the gory details to your creative mind.

Originally Posted By mele Blech! Alright, we just got back from DL last night. We stayed at BWPPI and so had free breakfast upstairs at Capt. Kidd's each morning. I think the breakfast has actually gotten better. More choices. Perfectly acceptable continental breakfast. The only thing that are kind of weird are the pre-peeled hard-boiled eggs.
Originally Posted By ImTinkerbellsfan No wonder I've managed to miss it. I don't use the pedestrian crosswalk right there. We always drive in and bring our own food, like subway or our own sandwhiches. I am NOT going there, EVER!!!!
Originally Posted By DaveJ1701 We had eaten at Capt. Kids a couple of years ago and I fully agree with everyone. The place and the food was disgusting. Everything on the buffett looked as though it had been there for several days. Luckily no one in our party got sick. We also ate at the IHOP and it was ok but the one down the street a couple of blocks is nicer and a few dollars cheaper on their meals. Millies is a good place to eat, nothing fancy but the prices and the food are decent. Haven't tried Mimis yet.
Originally Posted By ImTinkerbellsfan DaveJ1701 Mimis is REALLY good. They have a variety of options and have great salads. My suggestion on Mimis is go for it!
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Mimi's is the best. My tummy just growled...I'm gonna go home tonight and make some of their muffins. It seems like every time someone mentions Mimi's, I go bake their muffins.
Originally Posted By BoyStory Mollysmom makes more Mimi muffins.... LOL- sorry, I couldn't resist (just returned from a 1st grade field trip and my brain is fried). Funny, I've been to our "local" Mimi's several times and really liked it- but it never occurs to me to go there while on vacation. Putting it on my "to do" list for our August trip.
