Hi there,
We stayed at Sequoia Lodge in February. We thought the hotel was lovely. We were there during half term week and the parks were pretty busy.
Word of warning about breakfast: don't bank on a tranquil experience!
First morning we went down there was a 10 minute wait to get in which was fine (we had a ticket telling us what time to go for breakfast).
Second morning I don't know as we went to Chef Mickey's.
Third morning
we attempted to go for breakfast but soon changed our mind as the queue was 6 people deep all the way in the downstairs lobby, up two flights of stairs and into the Redwood Bar. We stood in the queue for 5 minutes and it didn't move so decided to give breakfast at the hotel a miss and go to Main Street and grab something. Money well spent!!
The breakfasts are fine, nothing spectacular. We had croissants, yoghurt, OJ, cheeses and cold meats, cereal and fruit. Not worth waiting an hour for in a crowd I don't think!
Obviously you may have a different experience to mine. Oh, I thorough recommend the Good Morning Fantasyland Pig Soldier mentions below with the Early Entry (we didn't get to do it this time but I wish we had)
Cheers
Karen
PS I think you made the right choice - DLP or deep fat fryer?!! No competition!
