Florida: Orlando World Center Marriott
Full service resort, no lounge. Platinum breakfast offering is "complimentary continental breakfast for 2" which includes: coffee, juice, milk, infused water, yogurt, toast, bagels, croissants, pastries, cereal, assorted fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, composed salads, charcuterie meats, cheeses, heirloom tomatoes, smoked salmon, grits. $21.00 value per person.
For an additional $7.00 per person, possible to upgrade to full breakfast buffet, includes continental offerings plus: omelet station (including eggs cooked to order), made-to-order pancakes, made-to-order french toast, waffles, sausage, bacon, steak, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs (which were very runny), veggie quiche, biscuits & gravy.
My morning diet soft drink was not charged separately (I don't do coffee). Gratuity and tax are included on the complimentary continental breakfast. Two checks are presented (and need to be signed for) if the full buffet upgrade is chosen --- a zero total cost continental and the $7.00 plus gratuity plus tax upgrade cost ($8.80 total).
Buffet location is the Latitude & Longitude restaurant just off the main lobby. If the breakfast is chosen at check-in, the platinum guest's name is on a list at the restaurant and a laminated card is carried to the table to alert the server that the guest is platinum. Servers know how to handle the situation. No opportunity to modify the breakfast offer (I asked if it was possible to obtain a $21 per day restaurant credit to order off the breakfast menu instead and "no dice").
