Eh, I mean if you are working that hard to get to the park at rope drop and getting in line, is the first thing you are going to do is stop and get breakfast? I think most people at the parks want a quick bagel/pastry/etc. as they move if they haven't had breakfast already at their hotel, and I'm guessing that is few and far between.

We always did our fastpass at Soarin' first thing, then went to Sunshine Seasons for breakfast. I will really miss breakfast here as Starbucks doesn't have the indoor seating and who wants to go all the way to World Showcase to then walk back to Future World? I hope Soarin' being closed all that time (which I am sure reduced their traffic) wasn't the cause of this.

Awesome. That and Hall of Presidents are my favorite places for a mid day nap. Not to mention the American Adventure. Hope the new seats are comfy.

Disney probably has an EMM with Soarin' & Test Track, etc., planned,
& needs to use Sunshine Seasons as the $69 breakfast venue!!

Those Bean Counters don't care IF guests are inconvenienced by losing breakfast @ SS;
they want guests to cough up $69 to have breakfast there,
( & a few rides on Soarin' & Test Track, provided that they're working)!

When did this happen? Did it go down for refurb very recently? We were just on it Sunday, and I don't remember new seats or carpet. However, it was so hot, and we were just so glad to inside with AC, that I could have been sitting on dirt and probably not noticed

It was closed all day Wednesday. That was our only day at MK and we ALWAYS do COP! We were pretty bummed that it was down with no announcement.

They are expanding them to other parks... they appear to be popular.

I'm assuming this will eventually replace EMH. Making my trip scheduling difficult
