Planning Your Breakfast Experience

It is always wise to make reservations for any dining experience unless it is specified as a grab-and-go spot. 

If you have a travel agent, send them a list of the restaurants that you’d like to eat at for breakfast, and they can make the booking. Otherwise, just head over to Disney website and book the restaurants personally. 

Disney is the busiest during vacations and weekends, which is when many children and adults can break away from their responsibilities and enjoy the magic of Disney.

If there is a specific breakfast spot that you’re interested in (such as Cinderella’s Royal Table) making a reservation well in advance will secure your breakfast experience. Otherwise, dining earlier in the morning is usually ideal! 

Dining is a wonderful part of any trip to a Disney park, but it is important to schedule time for rides and other experiences. 

If your trip is 5 days long, pick 2 dining experiences that may take longer (such as a specialty breakfast) and eat at your hotel or around the park for the other 3 days. This will ensure that you check all other activities off of your list!

Breakfast Beyond the Park

For those who are interested in expanding their breakfast selections to other resorts or parks, there are a few great options! 

To start, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is home to 1900 Park Fare, which is a terrific breakfast buffet that includes Disney characters. 

Next, the Wilderness Lodge contains the Whispering Canyon Cafe, which is known to serve a filling and delicious breakfast. 

Lastly, ‘Ohana is the star restaurant of the Polynesian Village Resort, as it features Lilo and Stitch among a family-style breakfast menu. 

All of these options can offer a range of experiences that go beyond Magic Kingdom. However, as with some other restaurants in this article, you may need to make reservations before eating.
