Alternate Breakfast in the Park Strategy

[LMO429]

I know everyone always talks about Breakfast in the Park before it opens (BOG, Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Garden Grill) but I wanted to share what I found worked out even better for our family. a 9:35 to 10am breakfast.

Who is really hungry first thing in the morning. We would get to the park for rope drop and at each park would do the bigger attractions first as a walk on..went to the later breakfast and then used our fast passes for after breakfast. It worked out great got to sleep in a little bit and with the later breakfast really no need for a sit down lunch. I highly recommend this esp if you have a child like mine who drinks a bottle first thing in the morning the later breakfast worked out perfect and there were no lines for the bigger rides first thing in the morning. Im not a fan of an 8am breakfast rushing thru it to run to a ride but to each their own just figured i would share it worked out perfect the last two times we did this for the character breakfasts that are in the park.

I would think the further you could push out that breakfast, the better it would be because you lengthen your RD advantage window. We usually do an 11:30 lunch instead, but same concept as yours. By that time, we're starving, the sun is baking, and the crowds have descended upon us.

I have started to do the same thing! Even without little kids I like the flexibility having a late breakfast ADR gives you. You can sleep in if you want, or hit the parks running and then have a good breakfast.

One addition to this I will make - have a grab and go something (granola bar, pack of crackers, piece of fruit) just in case the hangries show up before that late breakfast. We RD EMH most trips, so while we like to have a "brunch" type reservation, sometimes someone just needs a little something.
