Trip Report: Breakfast at Boma (December 2018)

If you missed the last post, you can check it out here.

On our third day we got to wake-up at the Polynesian. We had a late breakfast reservation. That plus our late night at the Christmas Party allowed us to get up slowly. I enjoyed some time on our little patio.

After getting around, we ordered a Minnie Van to take us to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We actually ordered it when leaving our room as we headed to the lobby. The driver must of already been at the resort because the wait time was like 2 minutes. We got to the resort a little bit before our 10:30 reservation at Boma so we looked around the gift shop.

While I was in there, a Cast Member came up to tell me I had a phone call. I was confused at first, but took the phone. It ended up being a phone call from Goofy wishing me a happy birthday. It was very cool. Love that pixie dust. 

Then, it was breakfast time. There was a CM just outside the restaurant teaching kids how to play drums and they were having fun. The restaurant was pretty full, but the buffet was kind of empty so we got our first food quickly.

Boma is a loud restaurant. The food is good, but not my favorite. My parents loved it and think it is a must do. I do love the juice though. Our waitress did bring me a little birthday cupcake-complete with candle. Again, the pixie dust is awesome.

Once we finished our breakfast we spent some more time at the resort. I specifically wanted to look at all the Christmas decorations. Dad and also headed outside to look for some animals.

It was a pretty nice day-a little chilly but the sun was shining bright.

Day 6, Part 1: Being Adventurous at Boma

Animal Kingdom had extra magic hours this morning and we had breakfast reservations for 10:30 at Boma. The original plan was to go to the park, but the previous night we decided to skip it and sleep in a little.

I woke up a little before 9, got around, and headed to the bus stop.

And I had great bus luck this morning. Only had to wait a few minutes to catch one to Animal Kingdom and then there was one waiting to take me to Animal Kingdom Lodge. Turns out it was exact same bus.

That would've been nice to know!!! ;)

I didn't realize how close AKL was to the park. I guess it makes sense. But after the Hoop-Dee-Doo fiasco I didn't want to take any chances.

So I was there before 10. I took the time to take pictures and check out the lobby. And I bought a small hand-carved box from one of the shops. It's probably one of my favorite souvenirs.

Once it was time for our reservations we were seated very quickly. And we were seated really close to one end of the buffet.

There was a ton of food on the buffet with a lot of variety.

I'm not a very adventurous eater, but a buffet is a good way to try new things. So, I did. Overall, I was pretty happy. The beef hash was very good. And the bacon was perfect for me and the fruit was very ripe.

We had the house juice to drink. I think it's the same as Jungle Juice. And it grew on me the more I drank it.

I was definitely full and satisfied at the end of the meal. I probably ate a pound of bacon. #NoRegrets
