Our dining party includes me, DH, DD (16), DDBFF (15). This is our 5th trip to WDW with the last one in 2013. We will be traveling the last week of December and staying at the Beach Club Resort. We usually travel during Thanksgiving week but decided to change it up a little this year. Our breakfast reservations include three breakfast character meals - Crystal Palace breakfast on MK Day (which is our family tradition), Cafe May Cafe on our non park day (which is located at the BC - love the variety) and 1900 Fare 
on our second MK day (which will be new to us and even though some of the characters are the same as CP, we decided to go in order soak up the Christmas spirit and atmosphere of the Grand Floridian). We are early risers and breakfast eaters and would like to add one more breakfast meal to our dining plans. The Kona Cafe and Olivia's Cafe both have menus that appeal to us all as a family. We have never eaten at either one and would be grateful for any opinions or experiences you have. Thanks in advance. 
Also, Our CP reservation is for 7:10 am. In the past the earliest reservation we could get for CP was 8:05 am. The posted park hours for this day are for 9:00 am.? At first I thought great
we will have plenty of time to eat and be in the park at opening. But yesterday I read information indicating that during these insanely busy days around Christmas, WDW adds additional previously not posted EMH hours and opens at 7 am. So I am worried about my touring plans. Has any one else had experiences traveling at this time and know if MK has opened at 7 am during the week after Christmas. All in all, we are a pretty laid back about crowds (its the summer heat we can not handle).We also enjoy the dining experiences (teenagers love to eat) and atmosphere of WDW resort as much as the rides but if the park opens at 7 we may have to change our minds about eating at CP and just hit the attractions and skip out on our tradition
