You can subscribe to Rope Drop Radio via iTunes. Derek and Doug are two dads who love Disney. Their goal is help you navigate all things Disney from the parks to the cruise. They want to share tips and tricks, travel plans, and must see’s to help you have an amazing Disney trip! Make sure to follow them on Facebook and X as well!
We have really enjoyed having Michelle (affiliated with Touring Plans Travel Agency) as our travel agent. It costs nothing to use her services because Disney or Royal pays her after we cruise. She was the one that got up at the crack of dawn to book reservations on our booking dates, to make requested updates to our room and dining preferences. We have booked over ten cruises with her, as well as recommending her to our friends! Contact her to see if she can help you with your vacation plans. (Note: Michelle does not sponsor Back To The Mouse, we are just satisfied customers).
While on a recent Royal Caribbean cruise on board the Ovation of the Seas, we got the opportunity to try the Windjammer Buffet. The Windjammer restaurant was located on the aft portion of Deck 14. We went to the buffet for breakfast one morning.
When you first arrive at the buffet, you will be directed to the hand washing stations located on the side near the entrances.
The buffet is set up as a series of island stations in the center of the restaurant, along with the kitchen in the aft portion. The sides of the restaurant contain seating for patrons. I definitely don’t think there is enough seating during the busiest times. We spent a long time looking for seating on the sea day morning that we decided to go to the buffet for breakfast.
Here are some of our pictures from the breakfast buffet. I certainly couldn’t capture everything, but there was no shortage of breakfast items. The usual breakfast meats, cereal, eggs, toast, and fruit were plentiful.
