If you are in California, I would suggest going to the Claim Jumper for brunch. You can get a brunch buffet there for the same price as the Courtyard, and there is a lot more to eat.

To clarify, me, plus my husband, plus 18 teenagers with no cars. So while I appreciate the offsite suggestions I think we are limited to onsite or bringing something in.

But you have a car? I thinks you are over thinking if so. Hit a supermarket for a couple gallons of OJ, paper plates, forks, a McDonalds for egg mcmuffins, bagels, cream cheese, fruit platter, etc and have a pool party. I guess it matters how much you want to spoil them or how much you want to spend! You'll be fine...:cool:

After you give the Bistro your order the night before, go ahead and call the front desk to have someone on standby to turn off the fire alarms that will ring all night.

Of course, I did have a boys youth soccer team, and not the select team either. :rolleyes:

I went down 30 minutes in advance of the crew and it took the two young ladies 25 minutes to prepare all the breakfasts. No fire alarms were pulled and we no longer have any category 1 to 4 certs.

:D :D Glad it went well! Thanks for the 'trip report'.

Cheers.
