What do you do for breakfast if on basic dining plan?

[CdnBuzzFan]

We bring down those little individual boxes of cereal in our suitcase and just get a milk from the food court every morning using our snack credits. This year, we're at TL on our first day and will be buying a box of 1/2 dozen donuts (snack credit) and will eat them for breakfast while they last but since your DS doesn't like sweets for breakfast it may not work for your family.

We almost always use our CS credit for breakfast

Our DD was too excited to each much in the parks, so we used her CS to get her a good breakfast while DW would use snack credits for bagels or cereal and milk.

Then we would split the 2 adult CS for lunch, and it was always plenty of food
(sometimes we would even just get one chicken finger combo and were okay).

We're bringing our own breakfast items to either eat in the room or take w/ us. i.e. go-gurts, muffins, cereal, instant oatmeal, etc. and saving those snack credits for popcorn, mickey ice cream bars, & dole whips

We eat a light breakfast in the room and then eat a counter service lunch early enough to avoid the lunch crowds (11 or 11:30).

I bring cereal, pop tarts and pb and j with crackers with us. Some mornings we eat in the room, there is always extra juices brought back from our CS meals because we used the cups. Some have cereal with milk, there is always a muffin, cinnamon roll or something else that was saved for later. If anyone wants hot breakfast food, they would pick up those items and bring them back to the room. We usually paid OOP for these since we didn't need any extra beverages and breakfast prices are in comparision pretty cheap.

We have a kitchen but don't use it for breakfasts. We get out early and neither of my kids eat much that early. We buy frozen pancakes to throw in the microwave, muffins, yogurt granola bars and bananas.

I enjoyed the yogurt and granola from the bakery as we went into the parks in the morning. It was a very large bowl and the DW and I would share it.

Enjoy

Like everyone else said, we usually use our snack credits for fresh fruit, a bagle, oatmeal/grits, or biscuits & gravy (all are just 1 credit). We also sometimes buy breakfast items, such as Mickey waffles, breakfast pizza, or breakfast burritos (because they're pretty inexpensive at most Disney food courts- except for Coronado Springs).

 

[USAswimmer626]

We tend to pick up a pastry at either the bakery in France or Norway, and save it for breakfast. We use our snack credits for this, as there is always more than enough other food during the day. We've never payed OOP for breakfast while on the DDP.

 

[BillSears]

I skip breakfast most days at home so it's no big deal to skip breakfast and have lunch between 11:00-12:00.

So I skip it or maybe use a snack credit.

Unless we are doing a character meal, I don't use credits for breakfast because breakfast can be had for much less money. I almost always stay DVC and have at the very least a mini kitchette so we do toast, bagels w/cream cheese, cereal and fruit. I try to bring as much of the stuff with me as possible on the plane, but the fridge items I buy there and keep in the room. The one time recently I stayed at a value resort, I actually packed a cheap toaster and coffee pot and brought them with me. I kept milk on ice in the ice bucket and would refill it everyday with new ice.

For breakfast if we are heading to a CS we pay out of pocket. Sometimes we will head to a bakery like the Main Street Bakery and use snack credits for pastries and cups of fruit. For TS (like a character breakfast) we generally will also pay for this out of pocket. We generally tend to keep our TS credits for dinner or lunch meals.

At POP I get the breakfast pizza and split with DFi and we drink alot with the mugs (the liquids really fill you up)

 

[winterman]

When we are on the DDP, we often use our CS credit for breakfast at our resort food court, then we get a snack at lunchtime and have an early dinner at a TS. Works well for us.
