As a historian, it is always nice to review original documents. I recently examined all of Al Lutz’s old columns for a book project. One thing that stood out were all of the breakfast suggestions he makes before diving into the subject matter of the day. During the recent spectacular MiceAge 10th Anniversary Celebrity Breakfast Celebration at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney Anaheim, I had the pleasure of helping Dustysage present Al with a lifetime achievement award (a beautiful window on Main Street inspired work of art). During this segment, we scrolled Al’s 99 breakfast suggestions on a big screen. However, there just wasn’t time for us to read each one and they were scrolling too fast for most folks to read. Many attendees reached out to me after the event asking for the list.

By popular demand, here are the 99 breakfast suggestions that Al has crafted as you settle in to read one of his updates (his 100th ran this week in his latest update).

Hard for me to believe but my upcoming book, THE DISNEYLAND THAT WAS, IS, AND NEVER WILL BE, is already available for pre-order.

THE DISNEYLAND THAT WAS, IS, AND NEVER WILL BE
A Biography of an American Institution
Walt Disney said, “Disneyland is the star. Everything else is in the supporting role.”
The Disneyland that Was, Is, and Never Will Be is the story of how Walt Disney’s greatest creation was conceived, nurtured, and how it grew into a source of joy and inspiration for generations of visitors. Despite his successors battles with the whims of history and their own doubts and egos, Walt’s vision maintained momentum, thrived, and taught future generations how to do it Walt Disney’s way.
