Last week on our Disney Foodie Series we talked about Snacks, now let’s move on to some Breakfast favorites!! This is one meal that most people are divided on…have pop tarts or cereal in the room for a quick get up and go type of breakfast or grab something in your food court, maybe stop and grab a pastries or cupcake in the park or make an ADR for a sit-down breakfast like at Kona or Boma or do you wake up early on the day your ADR window opens and book Chef Mickey or Cinderella’s Castle to start your day the most Magical way!
No wrong answer here and honestly we do a combination of all of the above on our trips to the world! But this is all about being a Disney Foodie so let’s break this down by Quick Service and Sit down’s in each park, DTD and resorts! I mean there are sooooo many favorites why just pick one 😉
So let’s start with parks… Magic Kingdom!
Well Main Street Bakery is a Breakfast fan favorite for many reasons, pastries, specialty coffees, cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches…what? It is vacation, who am I to judge 😉 but all those options aside (and maybe more to come soon) I always have the Warm Cinnamon Roll here for breakfast…big, warm, soft and gooey it is de-lish!! Plus the line goes quick here, seats inside or grab yourself a seat outside and watch as folks start to head into the park for the day!
Chip’s Tips – While the MSB is under refurbishment head up to Gaston Tavern for those Warm Cinnamon Rolls!
My favorite Sit-Down Breakfast in Magic Kingdom is hands down Crystal Palace! Now yes I have a thing for Winnie the Pooh but breakfast here has never disappointed us! I enjoy most selections here the breakfast pizza, the potatoes, Mickey Waffles but my must have here is the Puffed French Toast I could have just that and be happy as a clam!
More after the jump…
Animal Kingdom!
I will say on other trips to the world if we weren’t having a sit down breakfast here we grabbed something quick in our room or food court then headed to AK… Then I read somewhere to give Pizzafari a try for breakfast, I thought “Pizzafari really” well I must say we were pleasantly surprised! My hubby had the breakfast Panini, my son a blueberry muffin and I had and fell in love with the Spinach and Goat Cheese Frittata it was served with a salsa a yummy potatoes! It was scrumptious I can’t wait to have it again! This was defiantly a “who knew” for us but we loved this little gem for breakfast!
Sit down Breakfast here in AK for us is always a family favorite of the trip, and while its Animal Kingdoms only sit down breakfast it is a winner in the category none the less… Tusker House~ Donald’s Safari Breakfast! This buffet offer your normal Disney breakfast fare but they also add in some dishes that run along the lines of dishes you would see at Boma. My stand out here is the Ham and Cheese Frittata so tasty with the right amount of ham and cheese! I do have to give a shout out to the Cheese Blintzes, these little “heaven pockets” are stuffed with a sweet cream cheese that would rival any pastries’ offered here.
Hollywood Studios
Starring Rolls Cafe is the “Only” place we do breakfast here… Sad but true! Then again sad is NOT the word for here, oh no some of our favorite goodies come from here! The Cupcakes… ahhh… yes the cupcakes… It is a rule that at least once on vacation we can have cupcakes for breakfast and it always seems to be here! So if have you never had cupcakes for breakfast then take a stroll down Sunset Boulevard and get yourself one 😉 If Cupcakes aren’t your thing, then defiantly try the Apple or Cherry Turnovers or any of the Muffins they offer here, always outstanding!
Epcot
Sunshine Season is always a great stop for a quick morning breakfast! We seem to always get a Child French Toast meal here or split a platter (eggs, bacon, potato’s, sausage & biscuit) meal, reason…we like to eat our way around the world showcase later! 😉 Yes while we like breakfast most days, when offered all the yummy goodies the World Showcase has to offer, we save room in our bellies for that and forgo breakfast “most” Epcot days! Normal breakfast fare is the norm here but always good and there is something about the Potatoes here, mmm they are tasty little buggers, so guess what my part is when we share.
Downtown Disney
I read awhile back about Wolfgang Puck Express and never thought about breakfast here until then, so like any good Disney Foodie I put it on my Itinerary and off we went! While this is a Quick Service place its ads a nice mix of table service, I really like this place anytime of the day and the food is always outstanding! That said one of my favorites (day or night) is the Wolfgang’s Breakfast Pocket it is stuffed full of scrambled eggs, bacon, onions, peppers and cheese and all tucked in a pizza dough, now kids this is good eats!!
Disney Resorts
No matter where we stay at least once we hit our food court for breakfast and while Mickey Waffles and a Breakfast Platters always seem to be our choices I will say we have always liked them! Of course I always take the Potatoes 😉 Now as far as sit down places at the resorts for breakfast, we have hit them all and while O’Hana, Boma, Chef Mickey’s & 1900 Park Fare are places we have been to a couple times each, our favorite is Kona Cafe in the Polynesian Resort! I know that Tonga Toast is a fan favorite here… but my love here is the Macadamia Pineapple Pancakes these are so good they get my “Shut the Front Door” award for favorite breakfast dish on WDW property!
These are my Breakfast Favorites but as a Disney Foodie I am always on the lookout for new places and goodies to try! Stay tuned for Disney Foodie Favorite Lunch Spots and dishes!
