Breakfast ideas

[babets_99@yahoo.com]

What do y'all usually do for breakfast when you're at Disney? We have no breakfast meals planned and we are staying off-site at the Best Western Lake Buena Vista and our room will have a refrigerator. Do you eat big breakfasts or just a bagel and go?

Our family isn't big breakfast eaters so we typically just grab something in the hotel room - mini donuts, bagels, pop tarts, breakfast bars. If we do eat breakfast it is at TS later in the morning after we hit some rides.

We typically plan one character breakfast during our trip and eat in our room the other days. I usually bring along cereal (and disposable bowls/spoons, we buy milk in gift shop), granola bars, donuts, etc. It works well and saves us money.

Bagels and cream cheese, pop tarts, oatmeal, cereal and milk, yogurt, fruit, hard boiled eggs, frozen breakfast sandwiches, or bars are generally on our breakfast menu pre-park at the resort. These are all very easy to prepare and generally easy to keep in the room. Plus, they are great snacks for anytime, really.

We usually do 1 or 2 breakfasts out and then the rest just grab something in the room. We love Tusker House breakfast at Animal Kingdom!

Eat at our resort for breakfast - sometimes I will grab something in the parks that look yummy (coffee cake or muffins or carrot cake cookies) and bring it back to have for the following morning. Otherwise, it is English muffins with peanut butter or cereal/milk. I really can't get up and head out without something in my stomach.

I just never could take the price for a character breakfast - way lots of moula for the food that is served! We did do a few when the kids were little, but that's it!

We love breakfast at Disney (Tuskers, Crystal Palace and Hollywood and Vine) but don't like wasting the first few hours eating. So we usually eat a light lunch at our room like PB&J, bagel or cereal and get a late breakfast ADR.

We eat breakfast in the room everyday & plan about 2 breakfasts out.. Our favorite is Trails End Buffet!

 

[LindseyJo22]

We eat in the room most days and then may go eat in a park one or two days, maybe at the French pastry place, maybe at a place with Mickey waffles, etc.

This trip I'm bringing bagels, cream cheese, and peanut butter along with a few individual cereal things for breakfast or snacks and some bananas. Not a huge amount, and we'll eat all of it either on the trip or afterwards, so we'll save a little money and not feel too bad if we decide we really want Mickey waffles one day

We do 1-2 breakfasts out and then eat something small in the room the rest of the time.

I usually pack cereal, granola bars and Starbucks VIA instant coffee. Buy milk in the gift shop. I bring a few plastic spoons & forks & a plastic camp mug that doubles for both my cereal and then coffee. With the cereal, I take the sealed bag out of the box and just nestle it right in the suitcase. Travels well. Breakfast is prob my healthiest meal of the day And I eat so much rich food on my trip that a simple, camp style cold breakfast is no hardship at all.

We often split a breakfast at the resort QS location, or we eat cereal/pop tarts/granola bars, in our room or while waiting for the bus. This year I will be packing some disposable cereal bowls and plastic spoons and adult cereals and bowls. I figure that will give me room in my suitcase for keepsakes!

We stay CL so about half the trip we eat in the lounge and the other half we have breakfast ADRs. We have a lot of favorite places to have breakfast-Cape May Café, Garden Grill, 'Ohana, Tusker House, Captain's Grill, Kona-so on an 11 day trip we try to get to all of them.

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

We must be the only people who eat breakfast every day while we're there. In fact, any place we go on vacation/getaway, we eat breakfast out. The majority are sit downs, but we may have a quick service a day or so. We like to have a good breakfast, a snack or two/small lunch and a late dinner.

I used to bring stuff to eat in the room but don't any more. Its according to how early I'm up and what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll go down to the QS at the resort and have a kid's egg platter (because the adult's is too much food for me) I normally take it back to my room and eat. Sometimes I'll grab something in the park, I love the muffins at the little stand before the safari ride at AK, so big that I can't normally eat the whole thing. Last time we were there we were staying at the Swan so my son and I walked over to the Dolphin and ate at their buffet/egg station. I don't normally eat that big of a breakfast but both mornings we did it, it was kind of late and we knew we weren't going to be eating lunch (doing booths at F&G).

We generally do breakfast in the room. We would buy cereal or bagels and cream cheese. Sometimes we would pick up pastries at the gift shop or my dad would walk over early to the boardwalk bakery and pick stuff up - we tend to stay at BCV. We always had snacks in the room as well and bought refillable mugs. We find that eating breakfast out and be a time suck as well as be very expensive for what you get. When we were smaller, we would do a character meal at cape may for breakfast but that was it.

Half the time we would eat lunch either at the resort or being sandwiches and stuff to the parks. We are the type that eating QS as the time doesn't work as we get sick of the food. To each their own though as I know some people eat every meal out. Do what works best for you

 

[StirlingSilver83]

We usually stay on site now, but before we started staying on site we stayed off site at those condo timeshare type hotels, so we had a kitchen in them. We usually just ate cereal bc we had the full kitchen, but if we ate out some place we usually just ate some place quick like a fast food place or starbucks or a bagel shop bc our most important thing was getting to the park at rope drop. Now they have starbucks in each of the parks so thats a HUGE help...if we were staying off site now we would more than likely just get starbucks in the parks when we get there.

We started taking cereal and easy stuff to eat in the room when our dd was little. That way she could eat while we got ready. We aren't huge breakfast eaters so we got used to taking our own stuff (cereal - would buy milk there, poptarts, granola bars, etc) and now that's what we still do. If we were more of breakfast eaters I'm sure we would do more in restaurant breakfasts. My dd says some of her best memories was eating cocoa puffs (a vacation treat) while watching the Disney cartoon channel and then going to the parks.

We do bagels and cereal in our room most days. This holds us over until lunch. We do 1-2 character breakfasts each trip as well; CP and or TH pre-park openings. We aren't big breakfast eaters in our house though. When we do eat a big breakfast it will hold us over until 4 or 5! So it really depends on your family. How do they normally eat, what will keep them energized until the next meal?
