Christmas Eve Breakfast at Wilderness Lodge

Today I had the pleasure of starting what I hope will be a new tradition - breakfast at Roaring Forks at Disney's Wilderness Lodge on Christmas Eve. This is our first Christmas as Florida residents so my husband, Jason, and I wanted to do something special. Our friend Jeff suggested specialty waffles at Wilderness Lodge and we were in! Who can resist the classic Christmas ambiance at the Wilderness Lodge - it was the perfect place for Christmas Eve.

As a Florida resident, it is really fun to go to all of the Disney Resorts. It almost makes you feel like you're back on vacation!



After meeting our friends Jeff and Amy in the lobby, we let our noses lead the way to Roaring Forks! I was SO excited to be here for the first time!




When we walked in, I was really happy when the Greeter said "Merry Christmas!" It put me in the good mood I needed to enjoy my specialty waffles! I was torn between the Strawberry and Chocolate waffles but I finally landed on Strawberry YUM!



Waffle display case, I wish I had this in my house! Next time I think I will try the chocolate!



I think I need to incorporate this into the logo for this website somehow...

Here's a close up of the Strawberry Waffles - SO INCREDIBLY GOOD!!!



Roaring Forks was a fantastic experience. We went around 10:15AM and it was almost completely empty. We were treated nicely by the staff who all wished us a Merry Christmas. The quality of the Mickey waffles was very good - they were served to us hot, fresh, and DELICIOUS! I will definitely go there again.

After our awesome breakfast, we walked around the Wilderness Lodge a bit - it really put me in the Christmas spirit!




I know this one isn't Christmas related but as it was my first time at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, I had to take a picture of the famous totem pole!





We walked over to the DVC building and there was barely a soul there. I was amazed it was so empty on Christmas Eve!




We walked into the "train room" and it was completely empty!





We sat in front of the fireplace (which was actually nice since it was only 69 degrees outside - BRR!) and enjoyed each other's company for awhile.



Before we left, we had to get a photo in front of the tree in the Wilderness Lodge Lobby. This experience was everything I wanted for my first Christmas Eve as a Florida resident! Thanks to Jason, Amy, and Jeff for sharing the memories with me :)



I hope you all have a wonderfully magical Merry Christmas!
