Morning Motoring will be lead by MINI OF ORLANDO’s own Marc and Sharon.
MINIs will line up at the parking lot of the Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort at 8:45AM to head out at 9AM. Orlando is known more for it’s droves of buses and taxis than its curvy avenues, but we found some and a big roundabout.
So we know MINI of you will be trying to do the Midnight Motoring and the Saturday Morning Motoring for MM9. That will mean finding a good breakfast will be a tough thing for groggy MINIacs on Saturday morning. Our solution is to have a stop 30 minutes into the drive at an outstanding French Cafe!
We will try and keep the stop to around 30 minutes, so some of the items on the menu would be too hard to make in the time allowed. As a courtesy to the restaurant staff (and allow us to get back to motoring) we are requesting that those who partake go ahead and let us know what hot food items they plan to have. We will allow you to choose any item from the amazing pastry case when you get there, so if you don’t want any hot food you don’t need to reply here with your hot food selection.
Please choose one of the following:
A. Croissant with bacon, egg & cheddar cheese $4
B. Croissant with turkey & cheddar cheese $3.80
C. Croissant with ham, egg & swiss cheese $4
Most fresh pastries are priced from $2.50 to $3. All items are payable at the restaurant.
