If there is an 8 am opening w/ magic morning 7-8, we are planning on doing breakfast at 10 giving us 3 hours in the park. if breakfast is from 8-11 and we pick 10, will we be rushed? I have heard of people at the last dining hours get rushed or lack of characters. Is 1 hour before closing for breakfast too close to the end?
 
We have 10:00 booked for our trip in May. We have the same plans....hit the park early, then take a break for late breakfast. Then we'll just have a snack and earlier dinner and will hopefully not have to buy 3 whole meals that day.
 
We have done 10 and 10:30 and we have had a great experience for both. Both times we were in DL for the MM/EMH and then we took our break and had brunch and there was plenty of food, characters and time!!
 

I think the key is to ask for indoor seating. We had an outdoor seating once, and we only had 3 characters come to our table. I had to get a CM and they still only brought one by for us.
 
We did a 10:30am and I’d say it was perfect. We got some good touring done prior to breakfast. There was still tons of food and the characters were all still out. Some even came to our table twice. We didn’t feel rushed at all.
 
We always book the latest possible, and we have awesome character interactions as the place clears out. We've never felt rushed, and we almost never miss out on characters (once we missed FG because she had a scheduled set at the castle - she was the only one we've ever missed).
 
We've done Minnie's breakfast at 10:15 and 10:30 am with an 8 am regular park opening and using our 7 am EMH. I love it. We basically end up with 3 hours of park time and just about the time that we are getting tired and need to rest and refuel, then we get to sit down, eat our fill, and have a ton of characters come to us at our table! We never felt rushed.
 
Same, 10:00 to 10:30 is perfect. Never rushed out of there, great time for a break.
 
Agreed. We always book between 10-10:30 and have always had lots of interaction. It can feel loud and crowded inside sometimes though so if you want a "peaceful" breakfast over one with lots of interaction, ask to sit on the porch outside. It was a beautiful view and very relaxing last time we were there. (Adults only trip)
 
This makes me so happy to hear! We are also doing a 10 am character breakfast with having MM. I've always heard a mix of reviews as well and have been nervous about my decision. Hearing all these positives are wonderful! :yay:
