Lunch Buffet in Walt Disney World at Crystal Palace!

in travel •  7 years ago 

Welcome to our friendship celebration day during the lunch buffet in Walt Disney World at Crystal Palace! Today @laurabanfield and family enjoyed a trip to Orlando to visit Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger for lunch!

Thank you for joining us in this post which begins with a picture of me showing off the phoenix shirt design I wore today created by @iansart one of the winners of the phoenix graphic design contest!

My Food!


I eat a mostly whole plant food diet as explained in How Not To Die and Whole. Going to Walt Disney World always makes for an interesting combination of enjoying the eating while choosing the most nutritious foods. Here is what I ate along with 5 S'mores deserts which were excluded because @laurabanfield suggested that the pictures I took of them were no good on my plate!

Plate 1 as we can see is mostly vegetables! For convenience I do not bother asking which has vegan ingredients and I try to avoid any meat. I figure if I want to do it perfect, I will stay home.

Plate 2 as we can see contains many more vegetables along with a ton of oil!
Green beans and carrots Lunch Buffet in Walt Disney World at Crystal Palace!.jpg

Technically plate 3 was 5 of the S'mores deserts which I will show in the full food section below. For the purpose of this post, plate 3 was mostly fruit!

Apples beats fruit Lunch Buffet in Walt Disney World at Crystal Palace!.jpg

Most days I fast until around noon with today having only eaten half of an orange from 8 am until about noon. The rest of the day I had kale chips, a bowl of popcorn, seaweed snacks, and fruit for dinner along with some peanut butter and fruit 5 hours after lunch. A rich meal like this is maybe a once every week or two occurance with the rest of meals consistent primarily of whole plant foods. I aim to live an exceptionally healthy life reaching about 150 years old in this body and enjoy the pleasures of the day as well in moderation.

Full Menu!


The rest of the family enjoyed a much greater selection of foods available which are all captured below!

Notes


  • Taking the pictures and writing this post took about one and a half hours.
  • The lunch buffet for four adults and one free infant with a 10% annual pass holder discount cost $172 plus a $40 tip for a total of $212.
  • I deduct the meal (50%), the mileage, and my annual Disney pass cost as a business expense because these allow me to make posts here that can earn money.
  • We see this post now because I often feel it easier to see the humanity of others through things we can share in common most easily such as food, travel, and family.
  • Every picture has a custom name set on it including the title of the post in most plus whatever the picture has specific to it because this helps every picture and the entire post to rank higher in Google organic search. Higher rankings in Google search mean more visitors to steemit.com and my blog. Not being lazy and just dragging the pictures over without renaming made doing this post take an extra twenty minutes.
  • Photos were all taken on my iPhone 7 plus mostly by me with a few by @laurabanfield.
  • I accidentally copied and pasted a photo over the entire text of the post and could not undo it in the browser. Fortunately I had just backed the post up into Airtable and lost nothing.
  • My wireless mouse randomly died in the middle of writing this post and I managed to use the keyboard to select and copy the entire post into Airtable and restart within 5 minutes. Now the mouse is back to normal?
  • If you would like to get your own phoenix shirt with the same design I wore today, they are available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078MCLVHQ. If you would prefer to use an affiliate link to get the shirt for the same price while I get an extra 2% to 8% of the sale, try http://amzn.to/2FwiXnY.

We hope you enjoyed our adventure with us!

Nice it was a bit of a cold day here at Disney but that makes it perfect walking around park weather. Will you be having another meet up some time in Florida again for Steemians ?

Maybe!

@jerrybanfield Wonderful post with Delicious food and your kid so cute thanks for sharing your pictures of you and your family with us (resteem)

Congratulations !!!

A nice place for kids and parents to visit at least once! You eat very good food, I remember last year I eat in a food court (Epcot) with my kids and it was not so great and very expensive.

lovely kids

Holy moly that's a lot of food :D

Hi @jerrybanfield, was "Friendship Day" organized by you? Just curious.

@jerrybanfield a few hours ago i searched on google about ethical hacking, one of the result took me to udemy , theres a offer going on of 19 usd.... i saw you in the introduction video. now i wanted to buy the course but i don't have any of those payment method(feeling so sad). my question is, you are so exited about cryptocurrency then why didn't you kept an option for bitcoin or any other coin in the payment method?

@jerrybanfield Another lovely day for you and the family at The Magic Kingdom. I am so Glad to see so many more people coming onto STEEMIT. I know that you have recently been a BIG PART of why People are finding out that STEEM is the Best Token to be involved in. I know that so many Good Things are going to happen in 2018. Positive Energy all done in a loving way, One Day at a Time my FRIEND......Thank you.

wish i was also a child I would have enjoyed the company of children

an amazing post
with the help of steem we are able to spend more time with our family and less with our 9-5 jobs :)
have an amazing day. you are awesum

Super fun vacation! You could Deduct the whole trip if you talk to someone about dragonchain coin DRGN 🐉 From what I’ve been told the block chain is owned and created by Disney. 45% of the coin is held by Disney employees. There’s a chance you might’ve talk to one of them making your whole trip business.

wao .. A great trip with your family, enjoying good food and a great experience as it was. Someday I would like to visit those places and have a nice experience like that. Greetings friend. That you continue enjoying the pleasures that life gives us with your loved ones.

Is Disney world bigger than Disneyland? I always wanted to get there

Everything looks so delicious! Disney makes sure that you have a great experience. Their food is awesome and treat you very well. Thanks @jerrybanfield, hope you had a great time!

I'll have to look where Crystal Palace is. Last year we stopped by Cape May Cafe for the buffet meal where the characters visit table to table. We just visited Disney Springs for the day.

Kuweh is very interesting and very tempting for us and his Poto is also very clear and invite selara our meal here

NSA Strawberry Basal Pana Cotta!?
Damn, not even the desserts at Disney World are safe from government snooping.

@kangarooninja I was just thinking the EXACT same Thing, and Who Watches the Watchers ??

Edward Snowden, and look where that got him.

hi jerry, this is so nice! I love seeing these little peaks into your life with your family, it looks so pleasant and heart warming. The location is also perfectly chosen to suit both you and your wife, as well as your beautiful daughter. I really liked how you showed all the food as well as the interaction with Winni the Pooh, eeyore, Tiger and Piglet, they are so cute!

I personally love these posts the most and would love to see more of them.

Keep rocking!

@sweetsssj I always love to read your post and also to read your travel story

Wow you made me hungry with all these food. I love disney too for sure u guys really had a great time 😊

Looking good @jerrybanfield! Looks like you had a lot of fun.

Happy friendship day celebration. Lovely kids, nice teddies, good cooks, colorful pictures and great people in the pixs.

Man your trip looks delicious , I've lived in Florida all my life and have never been to Disney. I'm glad I listen to your promotional video and join Steemit . I'm learning more about this opportunity everyday . Thank You

Awesome @jerrybanfield. I love what you are doing. Love your post about the kale chip. Will try to do it when I find kale here back in my hometown. Your name keeps coming up whenever we have steemit workshop, and to me your an inspiration. Keep posting. Would like to be like you one day. Im new to steemit approx 9 days Old! 😆. Nice to meet you @jerrybanfield. 🍻

Its the kids day for the Banfield Family... Best regards to you @jerrybanfield and @laurabanfield 💞

Looks delicious Jerry :) I recommend half of your plate being fruit and vegetables, 1/8 of it with carbs, another 8th with healthy oils, and a quarter of it with protein. But you’re doing great healthy wise! A book I recommend is EAT MOVE SLEEP. It proved very helpful in changing my eating patterns from mostly carbs and meat to mostly vegetables. I also stand whenever I can, because sitting is super harmful. Watching tv shortens your lifespan, and sugars kill more than cigarettes. Just some things I learned from that book. Thanks Jerry for this post :)

Friendship Bonding!! 💜

This is very nice to see your post & thanks to share this content with us.

really loved this @jerrybanfield because I'm an Orlando native and love that buffet with little ones. The wonder in their eyes when they see the characters is worth the price of admission. I also like your notes. Knowing what you did and how you did it is helpful for me as a relative newcomer here.

All amazing colourful pictures.....🎉🎀
Yummmmssssss meal......🍇🍏🌭🍞🌮🍽

I had always been a Disneyland/world bah humbug type of person. Then I met my wife. She took my daughter and I there almost 10 years ago for the first time. I really it a place to escape and find all the wonders of the imagination. I believe adult can find their inner child if they just went back to a place that would allow them to think and act like a kid again...aka Disneyland/World. Thanks for sharing @jerrybanfield

Wow its amazing cool post

This was quite the comprehensive post wow, 1 and a half hours! The food looked awesome and looked like you had a great time.

Very interesting to see our Pooh still delights. Interesting too your comments about food in general. Eat healthily and eat well should be the norm. Most people just go for the easy.
Please answer one question that puzzles me. I received not such a nice reply from someone to one of my quotes, so looked up their page. The account does not exist! I flagged it anyway. How does this happen? I assume that Steemit is secure and take precautions about security myself both at home and on my mobile phone. I am curious. Glad you enjoyed your day. Thank you

happy friends ship day....you are so great... I am so Glad to see so many more people coming onto STEEMIT. I know that you have recently been a BIG PART of why People are finding out that STEEM is the Best Token to be involved in. I know that so many Good Things are going to happen in 2018.
