I remember actually around 10 years ago (I think it was a Hampton) hotel in Anaheim and they had an all you can eat buffet breakfast pretty early and it was glorious. Everything you could think of you could get. Make your own omelets, waffles, pancakes... bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy (we don't do that in Canada, so it was a new one), fruit, cereal, bagels, etc. Everything. I thought it was awesome. All free too.  This was before my full blown fat hate but I remember noticing all the whales. They looked happier in the buffet than they did walking around Disneyland.
