Breakfast with Minnie and Friends

[Disney Jen]

Does anyone know the hours for Minnie and Friends Breakfast at Plaza Inn during the week? Is character better when go earlier or later in the morning?

 

[mama2dutchies]

the characters are generally equal I believe.. Not sure what time they open, but I know they are done at 11:30

and a CM told me when I just booked a reservation that she suggest you not book any later then 10 so you don't lose any character or buffet time

Please I hope there is NO truth to this, I had originally had a 8:30 ressie, and changed it to 10:30. Breakfast goes till 11:30 why would characters leave, people are paying the same amount as people earlier!!

I think the point is that a lot of folks like to take their time and mingle. When you are there in the last hour you may feel things are cut short a little as you'll only have that one hour. It works out better for most guests to arrive a little earlier. I'm sure you'll still have a great experience. We've done this breakfast a few times and love it.

I had an 8:30 res as well and changed it to 9 because I wasn't sure I'd get there in time.

I'm pretty sure when I booked the CM said dining reservations start at 7:50, but since the park opens at 8, don't quote me on that.

I made reservations for 7:10am and the parks open @ 8. That is the earliest appt on a Tuesday.

I booked at 7:10 on a Sunday for an 8am opening. Park has MM that morning.

 

[pindecisive]

Whoops, maybe it was 7:10. Sorry guys!

I believe you get up to 90 minutes if you come earlier. If you book for 60 minutes before closing you'd only get 60 minutes. If you feel a need for the full maximum 90 minutes, an earlier ressie would be a better idea. 60 minutes might be plenty for some folks.

So, I phoned and changed it to 10:00 instead of 10:30. Between the only 3 ressie's I have that is like the 4th time I've phoned and changed times,

Gotta stop reading these boards, too much helpful info

Soooo sorry ThumbsUp , I didn't mean to cause you stress (but thanx for the )

I'm sure that what every one else said about 10:30 being good is correct, but hey, maybe I'll see you there at 10.

No Worries I wish that was the only type of stress I ever had to deal with

10 works even better, we can take our time, still have time before to do some rides, and once we get outta there, lunch crowd will be eating, and we can do a later lunch.

So excited!!

I just booked our reservation for this and we are very excited!! It literally took 30 seconds to book because the lady only needed my first and last name, phone number, and number in party. She said it would be booked under my last name and asked if I needed anything else. I was in shock!! Much easier than booking wdw dining.

I had a few questions about this though:

I have read on various reviews that not all the characters come around to your table because they stay in certain rooms. Is this true?

How long does it take for the characters to go full cycle to get to your table?


Any adivce or specifics that we should know would be greatly appreciated!!

 

[mom2dzb]

Ooh! I've got questions about this breakfast, too! What characters might I see?

I would love this info, too!! We booked it for our trip, and the CM said they don't do an actual table rotation like WDW. Just wondering what the set up is like and how to make the most of it.
