Green Eggs and Ham Goes Missing from Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast

Green Eggs and Ham Missing from Breakfast with the Grinch and Friends This Year

The Whoville Detective Agency was immediately dispatched this year after a troubling discovery at The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast. The beloved Green Eggs and Ham has seemingly vanished from the main menu, leaving investigators with nothing but crumbs, questions, and a suspiciously smug green suspect. While the case remains open, we’re happy to report that what replaced it is a surprisingly upscale brunch spread that still delivers plenty of holiday cheer.

We experienced the character breakfast, held in Suess Landing in Islands of Adventure, again this year, and the biggest takeaway was how much the menu has evolved. Compared to past years, including last year’s more traditional breakfast lineup, the current offerings lean hard into elevated brunch territory. Green Eggs and Ham may be missing in action for adults, but the flavors and creativity across the board more than make up for it. The meal kicks off with a warm cinnamon roll paired with fresh fruit, and both were a fantastic way to start the morning. The cinnamon roll was soft, sweet, and comforting, exactly what you want before diving into the main event.

For entrées, we tried two standouts that absolutely deserve the spotlight. The smoked brisket sandwich was outstanding, with tender, flavorful brisket that tasted like it had been given plenty of time to shine. The side potatoes topped with a fried egg were the perfect companion, adding richness and texture without overpowering the dish. We also sampled the Clucker Crunch Chicken Sandwich, and fair warning, this one is massive. Bring your appetite because the portion size does not hold back. That said, the flavors were right on target, with crispy chicken and balanced toppings that made every bite worth it.

Dessert wrapped things up on a sweet and festive note with the iconic green Grinch sugar cookies. They’re simple, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of treat that feels right in Whoville.

Of course, the true heart of this event isn’t just what’s on the plate. The highlight remains the extended meet and greet with the Whos, including Cindy Lou Who, and a lengthy one-one-on-one encounter with The Grinch himself. The character interactions are playful, personal, and never rushed, making the experience feel special every single time. With about 2.5 hours of meet and greet time included, plus access throughout the day, the value is absolutely there. When you factor in the upgraded food, the character time alone would justify the price, making the meal an incredibly welcome bonus.
