There’s also a free standing Joffrey’s Coffee stand in Tomorrowland that is open for breakfast as well.

The Lunching Pad (despite the name!) in Tomorrowland also serves breakfast, and you can find sticky bubble bread here along with a potato barrel breakfast bowl. I think this is one of the most overlooked breakfast options in Magic Kingdom!

Planning Your Breakfast Adventure

When it comes to quick service breakfasts at Walt Disney World theme parks, planning ahead can make all the difference. Here are some tips to help you start your day off right:

Best Times for Breakfast

If you want to beat the crowds and get a head start on your day, consider arriving at the park before it opens. This is known as “rope drop” and can give you a chance to enjoy a quiet breakfast before the park gets busy.

Alternatively, if you prefer a more leisurely start to your day, you can plan to have breakfast a little later in the morning. Many quick service restaurants at Walt Disney World serve breakfast until 11am, so you can sleep in and still enjoy a delicious meal.

Starting off Your Disney Day

No matter if you’re grabbing a quick service meal in the theme parks, stopping by a character dining experience, or getting a quick meal at your resort – there are a number of different breakfast dining options to start your day.

For many families, grabbing a quick service breakfast is the quickest way to get the day started. And we sometimes keep yogurts or light snacks like applesauce in our room, to feed the kids before we head out for the day. To account for transportation time to get to the theme park, or getting to a character dining experience.

With the list above, you’ll arrive prepared with the best options in mind for your family for a theme park breakfast, and all of the options available if you decide to grab something on the go! Visit our other dining reviews to plan your Disney dining experiences.
