I didn't think it was too expensive either. I loved the voodoo doll. And the Texas one? It was massive, like a lard lad donut but lighter.

I think Bread Box and Antojitos have now been added to my list of places to eat at Universal!

I think we will end up back at breadbox later in the holiday

What's the name of the top picture voodoo doughnut? With icing and sprinkles? That looks lush, I got the doll last time and wasn't fused as it turns out I'm not a fan off jam doughnuts! I much prefer the more basic ones. 😃

That donut is the little pink. The flash made it look different.

We enjoyed Toothsome last time but not in a rush to go back

Birthday cake remix is my favourite at cold stone.
Another good food day
Burger Digs is pretty big as well so makes for a good location.

We just bought 6 similar donuts at Target for $1.50. It shows the difference

We just got to ur next place wishing we’d had longer at Universal

The theme of NBC isn’t to everyone’s taste including ours but the food was good. We wanted to stick to new places.

I think most of the ring donuts are around $1.50-$2.00 it's the larger ones that are more expensive. I think the Memphis is over $5. The one I want to try is around $3 or $4 too. They all look so yummy 😊
Typical that good ones are the expensive ones.i really liked the Memphis Mafia.

MINIONS CHARACTER BREAKFAST ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT

I have not seen many reports about the Minions character breakfast so hopefully you might find this useful if planning on going.

The breakfast is in a similar vein to Disney character one. It is prepaid though. It is situated in the Royal Pacific resort hotel which is where we were staying. There are plenty of signs directing you to where the breakfast was taking place.



Once you check-in you have a photo with Gru and a minion but there was no photographer which I think is quite poor.



I also didn’t realise that it was communal seating which for some is fine but for me is something I don’t enjoy, it makes me uncomfortable. We are with another family from the UK who were fine so it wasn’t too bad.

The room was lovely and I’m guessing there was seating for around 100 or so.





Once you seated then you go up to the buffet in the same style to a Disney one. There was quite a wide variety of food but nowhere near as much variety as a Disney buffet. There was cereals, fruits, breads, pastries and then hot items included scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, sausages and pancakes. It was all very nice and we all ate loads.

























After a while the characters came round the tables for photos. This was a lot slower and more intermittent than the Disney character Buffets. Interaction was good though.





Overall it was good but I don’t think we do it again.

$34.99 per adult.

My Dd will love that mint soft serve ice cream, will have to look out for that.

Shame it was a shared table at the minions breakfast, I don't think I'd have fancied that much either. I'm ok at Teppan Edo but prefer to have our own table at regular restaurants.
