7am opening: where to eat breakfast?

[Scrapyapfan]

There are now some 7am openings at MK for our trip in October. I was thinking 2 hours of touring then stop for a bite to eat. Where could we go for a quick breakfast (only ever done lunch and dinner in the parks before!)
Thanks

We always go to The Crystal Palace. Great buffet and a visit with the Pooh characters. It's our favorite.

Not a lot is open at 9am at the MK for a quick breakfast. STarbucks on Main Street is probably your best bet.

Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square usually opens at 9. It is counter service with some outside seating. They sell waffles and funnel cakes. Their waffle sandwich with nutella and fresh fruit is yummy!!

We ate a breakfast/snack at Gaston's Tavern. I think they opened at 8am when EMH was at 7am.

Following along - I hadn't even considered this when we do the 7am opening in a few weeks! I expect some granola bars from our room before we go - but something else will be required as a morning snack!

Don't forget you can take food and beverage in with you, if you don't have time to eat before you go into a park. Offsite, not a problem, stop somewhere on the way in. Onsite, take food or have it delivered by Amazon Prime Now, Garden Grocer, etc. You do not have to wait in line to order, pay $$$ for breakfast in park if you don't want to. You can also bump up lunch by a hour or two, and have the added advantage of less of a lunch rush.

The outdoor stall/market across from the riverboat, Liberty Square Market, opens at 9am. They have fresh fruit, yogurt, trail mix, and juice.

To add to the ones already mentioned:
Cheshire Cafe by the teacups has cereal with milk,muffins and fruit and opens with the park (regular hours not EMH) so on a 7am EH it will open at 8am
Actually all the restaurant listed above will open with the park, so 8am

This is the first I've heard of MK opening at 7am. It's not EMH or EMM? The whole park will be open that early?

1. It's not EMH or EMM?
2. The whole park will be open that early?

1. AM EMH at MK starts at 7AM on Oct. 7.
2. Nope.
Attractions in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland only from 7AM-8AM.

The rest of the park (most attractions) will open at 8AM.

Thanks Robo! Is this something fairly new? I've been to MK as early as 7:00 for PPO breakfast for an 8:00 EMH opening in the past but have never heard of the park opening at 7:00 for EMH.

It can happen during busy times. In 2015, it happened in March during Spring Break, and probably April too. It often happens during the holidays, especially Xmas to New Years Eve.

I would do 2:45 at the park, then go to The Wave for a 10 am. breakfast, and set up my FP for 11:30 and after. But that is just me.

It's a great use of garden grocer to get some breakfast things that keep in the room. donuts, cereal, muffins and just eat before you head out...

If your not looking to get an order, stop at the resort counter service the day before and get some fruit, cereal, milk, muffins, danishes and keep them in your room and eat that.. If you have a microwave in the room, get something hot and take it back with you and heat it up the next morning if you prefer that. the fridges aren't huge but they will manage some things overnight.
