Planning to stay onsite next August, SL or NY. One question, we want to be in park for EMH, but do the hotels start breakfast before or would we miss it?
I don't know exactly what time breakfast starts but when we stayed at the Santa Fe (in August) we went eating breakfast at 7AM and then in the park at 8
We stay at HNY and do EMH first and then back for breakfast. To get the best from EMH I'd suggest being there for 8am. You'll have it all done by about 9 or 9:30 easily and then stroll back to HNY for a relaxed breakfast. Breakfast times are generally 7 -11am.
The walk back to HNY is about 10 minutes, if that. SL about 5 minutes more.
When we stayed in August we requested breakfast in the park for 9:30 so that we didn't have to get up too early; we could do the early part of EMH which is the quietest; and we were then ready for breakfast and could take our time.
I'm not sure that this option is always available though but it worked really well for us
At HNY we tended to do breakfast between 7-7:30, often timing it so we were coming out around 8am when the first character was there for meet n greet. We could have easily eaten then been at the parks ready for 8am opening but chose to enjoy a relaxed breakfast
stayed in HNY and always had breakfast before EMH. We asked for 7 or 7.30 breakfast slot, but we there around 7.15 and it gave us enough time to get to park by 8.
We stayed at the Newport Bay and had breakfast around 7:00 ready for a brisk walk to the park for EMH. Seeing the queues for the breakfast at 7:30+ made us glad we got up early
This was my only complaint with Davy Crockett Ranch...they don't (or didn't as of March 2010) open the breakfast distribution huts until 7:30! I would send DH to join the queue to pick up our breakfast while I loaded the kids into the car, then he would hop in and we would eat our croissants in the car on the way to the parking lot. Not ideal, but we were there in time for the 8:00 opening! Does anyone know if they have started distributing breakfast earlier at DCR? I did leave a comment with them about it.
