Breakfast Trattoria Al Forno or Kona

How does parking work if we choose to eat at Rosa’s? The regular parking fee at the Swolphin is steep!

If you're dining at a restaurant which doesn't validate you can park at DHS. Boat or walk to Swan Dolphin

I had breakfast a few days ago at Trattoria al forno and it was amazing! I'm obsessed with the eggs al forno and the tiramisu bread pudding was delicious.

We have a dinner reservation at Rosa Mexicano (note it's not Rosa's) in January, which we booked via MDE, and here's a copy and paste from the confirmation email (bolding added). I expect they'll do the same for any reservation at any time of day, not just dinner.

Very helpful!! I stay offsite often but also enjoy eating at resort hotels. Been avoiding Swolphin restaurants as I’ve been unsure about the parking situation.

Restaurants in the Universal hotels also validate parking.

Try breakfast at the new BW Cake Bake Shop. It is soooo yummy. You can look at Open Table for reservations that often open up or call it in.

As of this morning can confirm - Trattoria is still the best breakfast at Disney.

I like both of them for breakfast, but it I were at the Boardwalk I would probably stick with Trattoria. I was dying to try the Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe, but it was quite disappointing, sweet and very dry. The one at Rainforest Cafe was better.

So we don’t do breakfast often but thinking for Christmas morning it might be nice. We are staying at the Boardwalk and Trattoria has a nice breakfast but Kona has Tonga Toast (never had but heard about it)? What would you recommend

I tend to pick a breakfast restaurant based on location, either near my hotel or near my morning park.
Trattoria is a no brainer. Kona if you're going to the MK and will drive or ride share to Poly
