Early or Late ADR 4 CRT?

[PaDisney02]

HI, we want to have breakfast at CRT and I cant decide if i want an early breakfast or a late one. Last year we had a 10 am ADR. We did a few rides then ate at CRT. I liked this #1 cuz I got a few of our must see attractions out of the way b4 we ate #2 we were so full from breakfast we ended up just getting a snack and then also had dinner, so it eliminated having to buy lunch.

On the other hand....I did feel rushed and nervous during the attractions b4 CRT cuz I was affraid of missing the ADR or being late. Plus, we had to eat a small breakfast in the hotel room b4 leaving for the park.

Which do u think is best? Should I get an early breakfast at CRT then do the attractions or should I again do a late breakfast and get a few attractions out of the way b4 breakfast?

I would like to try an early breakfast but I"m worried once we get out of CRT MK will be swamped and all the lines for everything will already be really long. My planning book says to go straight to Dumbo and fantasy land and do as many attractions as possible right after rope drop, if i do an early breakfast we wont get to fanasty land until later. Thanks

We always do our character breakfasts the same way that you did and go around 9:30 or 10:00. It does give you the time to ride a few rides before the parks get too crowded. We also have only a snack instead of having a big lunch before dinner. However, I have never felt rushed while having a late breakfast. I did feel rushed one time while having a late CRT lunch but it was a ressie that I got at the last minute and couldn't be picky about the time. I was just happy to be there. We have done the early morning breakfasts and just prefer the later ones. I for one am too full to really want to ride too many things.

We like to book breakfast ADRs for in the park on an EMH morning. We hit the park as soon as it opens and then have our meal around 10:45 -11am. By that time we are ready to take a break. After our breakie we either go back to the resort for a swim and to relax or we park hop.

We always have some fruit and granola bars in the room so we have a little something to munch on first thing in the morning.
