CY, Budice, any suggestions for breakfast/brunch in the Disneyland area? Kid friendly. Are we stuck with IHOP or Denney's? -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 19:08 7
- Millies, Tiffys, or Mimis -- nm - budice Nov 18, 19:28 3
  - Thanks. Millie's and Mimi's look like they have good breakfast options. The visitors will have been in that area for a couple of days so - Meg Nov 18, 19:39 2
