Knowing how much my teen LOVES all things Stitch and knowing that Stich is one of the stars of this meal, we immediately booked breakfast!

Hurricane Irma is continuing to churn through the warm waters of the Atlantic, heading toward south Florida. The Orlando area will likely feel the impacts of the storm later this weekend, and Disney World has announced several closures and cancellations ahead of the storm.
