10:00 opening breakfast question

[wdwfan22]

When I will be there this November, I anticipate the opening times during the week to be 10:00 based on historical hours. If that is the case, are there restaurants in the park that open early for breakfast?

I thought I read somewhere about Minnie's having character meals before the park opens when it opens late, but I'm not sure. How about Carnation Cafe? Or are there any others?

Thanks so much!

Minnies has a "pre-opening" eating times only on days where there are MMs. You don't have to have a MM to eat then. None of the other restaurants have early PS times that I'm aware of. But even then they're usually only on MM days.

I had a 9:50 PS at Minnie's for a 10am opening. I believe they even went as early as 9:30.

I think that Minnie's is the only one. Carnation Cafe might have seatings available as soon as the park opens but you'd have to call Disney Dining to find out for sure. I do think that RBT will have bfast when the parks open at 10, in fact I'm sure we had some Mickey pancakes and a Mark Twain or two around 10:30 or so one a few of our trips that had later park opening times.

I have to say I am surprised. That is one of our favorite things to do at DW. We always make ADR's for a character meal in the park one hour before it opens. That way, we are in the park ready to go when it opens. Plus, walking through the empty park in the morning to get to your meal is amazing.

I was really hoping to do the same at DL.

I think that the Minnie breakfast is available before park opening, but as other posters have said that may only be on Magical Morning early opening days (which is pretty often). Carnation Cafe doesn't open until the park opens, same thing for Riverbelle. If you want to eat before the parks open you can eat the the resorts and then head to the parks. They all have character breakfasts, but Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel also serves a very nice breakfast.
