I am staying at the Santa Fe in May, how does the breakfast sittings work, can you choose what time you have to go in or do you just get allocated a time slot when you arrive.thanks

When you check in you will be asked what time you would like to have breakfest- you can choose times for everyday of your stay. Your then given a card for the time you have selected, which you take with you in the morning to the restaurant in the hotel. I think their in 15min slots- but i cant be sure on that. I've found that it seems to be very busy around between 9 and 10, but it depend on the parks opening time really.

At the Santa Fe, I'd advise getting to the restaurant before 8am, if you want to avoid mega-queues for breakfast. It doesn't matter what time your slot is (you will be given a choice, dependant on availability, when you check in) - you can go earlier or later. But as I say, if you go before 8am, it will be a much more pleasant experience !

Elaine is spot on - we always try and get down to breakfast around 7.15 - 7.30, the difference being that at that time you can walk straight in, when you're coming out around 8ish people will be queuing.

We've never had a problem going earlier than our allocated timeslot, I think the CM's are glad to have everyone spread out a bit.

thanks, my two girls are always up by 7 regardless what time they go to bed so i would rather through on some clothes and eat early if it is quite then come back after and get ready. thanks for info.

I think we will be doing the same - we are staying at the Cheyenne

Is it still possible to transfer to a GMF breakfst ? What time do they start and are they worth it if we can get one ?

Recent posts seem to suggest you need to ask when you book into hotel about GMF breakfasts. they used to start at 8.00 so I assume they still do. We booked one last yr for 9.15ish - this gave us chance to go in for EMH for an hour or so then go for a leisurely breakfast after getting quite a few rides under our belt - this is what we're hoping for again at Easter
