Early Entry Breakfast

[KrzyKtty101]

Is there anywhere inside Disneyland to get a quick breakfast during Early Entry hours? Or even at the Disneyland hotel before? We will be at the parts from the 27th through the 30th. I'd prefer to not have my kids starve untill 8 something when most of everything opens if I can help it. I am assuming considering the crowd levels that if we want to be in the park when it opens at 7:00 a.m., we would have to start waiting in line at the turnstiles around 6:30 a.m. at least. That means we would have to be up by 5:30 a.m. Making my kids go from 530 untill 8 something without eating is a bit of a long stretch.

What about some muffins or bars to tide them over?

Coffee House at DLH opens at 6am. Starbucks in DTD opens at 5am.

It’s been a while since I’ve specifically been to DL for EE but I recall food being available, even if everything wasn’t open.

 

[KrzyKtty101]

I would have to find where to get the muffins or bars, but that is a great idea.

It sounds like the Coffee House or Starbucks might work as well. We aren't huge breakfast eaters, just mean something to snack on.

I usually tried to pick some sort of muffin or pastry in the park the day before. We do early entry every day we are there and I don't think many places are open. I do recall having trouble finding things to eat in the early hour.

Yes, the easiest thing is to pick something up on the way out of the parks. That way they can snack on the way to the park or while everyone is getting ready. I always need to eat something to help wake me up.

We either stop at Starbucks or LaBrea Bakery for food to eat while waiting for the gates to open.
They are both in DTD.

Both Starbucks in Downtown Disney open at 5am and have both pastries and breakfast sandwiches available. If you have a US Starbucks app you can mobile order from those two locations as well and pick it up on your way passed if you're staying on that side of the parks or you can head through to there before lining up at the gates.

Other than Starbucks (5am), most restaurants in DTD open at 7am. DLH Coffee shop opens at 6. Inside the parks, most don't open until 8am. Like has been said, I would have something picked up the night before or just do Starbucks. If you order from DIsney West II as you leave your room, it is usually ready when you get to the store.

I have done both Starbucks options. On the non early opening days I mobile ordered from Downtown Disney Starbucks, and was eating my breakfast while waiting at the closed gates for 8am opening.

On the early opening day, I was at the gates at 6.30am for a 7.00 am opening and once the gates were opened I went straight to Starbucks / Markethouse on Main Street and had a breakfast, sitting a table window and watching everyone race down Main Street

White Water Snacks in the GC has some nice items including a great breakfast burrito.

Simplest and cheapest would be to either hit a store yourself or do an Amazon now delivery of snack items, cereal, milk, etc to your hotel.

 

[katyringo]

Grab something on your way! Don’t waste your magic morning time eating! We usually have some
Muffins and granola bars and then about 9ish we Mobil order from jolly holiday. Macaroons for breakfast

 

[momto3pirates]

Mobile order Starbucks. Grab it on your way through Downtown Disney.

 

[jedimdes]

I second that! Makes it so easy to eat on the way without having to leave early and wait on them making your food and drinks

Mobile order Starbucks. Grab it on your way through Downtown Disney.

Mobile order Starbucks. Grab it on your way through Downtown Disney.

Just on this, what is the Starbucks closest to GCH called on the App? Knowing me, I'm likely to mobile order at the wrong one.

Plus, if you are staying at the Grand, show your room key and get a complimentary coffee, hot chocolate or hot tea! (This is until 11am)

 

[CateinPhoenix]

We always get in line, then mobile order from Starbucks, one of us picks it up, we eat in line!

There is a little cafe near the pool at the Disneyland Hotel. We usually go through security at DTD and then stopped at the Starbucks (they have pastries, sandwiches, yogurt, etc—you can order off an app on your phone if you’d like)—all before entering the park and rope drop. I prefer to not spend any time during early entry doin food runs. I also like to stop at CVS or another store and get a case of water, some individual cereal packs, some milk, and snacks in general. I usually pack some plastic disposable bowls and spoons that I can wash while we’re there but discard when we head home.

Good luck!

"Downtown Disney Store" is the one closest to GCH and Main Gates

"Downtown Disney West" is the smaller location closer to DLH.

Mobile ordering as become SUPER popular, so be sure to order well in advance. My metric used to be when we hit the GCH lobby level to hit "order" but now it is when we are leaving the room.
