confused...when does club breakfast open?

[dtchgrl]

We are staying Club level at Portofino at then end of August. I had read here in a few places that they open for Breakfast at 7am. But now I just read that its 7:30am. Anyone know which it is? The thread that said 7:30 was in regard to HRH...is it maybe different for Portofino?

When we are there the parks open at 9am, so Harry Potter at 8, so I was planning on breakfast around 7am and off to the park by 7:30.

Thanks!

We stayed at the Portofino July 11-15. Club lounge was open at 7 am every day. WWoHP also opened at 7, so one afternoon we asked for bananas and a couple of boxes of cereal for the next morning. We also purchased pastry at the night before at Sal's Marketplace for something to eat before we headed out in the morning

We get the 7 a.m. boat to IOA for HP early entry. We do everything we want to do at WWOHP and then get the boat back to PBH for a late breakfast in the Club Room. Works out great for us.

Elizabeth...thats an interesting idea! Not sure I want to take the time out of the moringing tours hours to go back and forth every day, but with FOTL pass to use all day it might be worth it.
I'm thinking that even if breakfast opens promptly at 7am, its not really enough time to even shove food in our faces and still get to IOA as early as we would like.
Did you find that there was usually a boat ready to leave from PBH at 7am? Is that when it starts running?
Thanks!

Just came back from PBH. We did early entry one of the days. We went to the water taxi at 6:30am and we were on line for the 2nd one. I was told they started up around 6:20 or so. While we were there the club breakfast opened at 7am.

Thanks msrs...hope you had a great stay at PBH!
Sounds like the boats start about 40 minutes prior to early entry.
