Which do you prefer to do......

Early or Late character breakfast and why?

 

[Hippychickali]

We are going to try Donald's Breakfastasaurus this year and we are going as early as possible. We don't want to waste good park time on breakfast.

We like early, less people, more character time and no wasting park time for the day.

 

[CamColt]

We like to eat early and be at the park asap.

I usually like to get there early so I don't miss park time, but we did the last seating of a breakfast one time - I think it was around 11:30 and the place was pretty empty, so we had most of the characters to ourselves!

Dd got quite a bit of attention that time. I just considered it to be more of a lunch than a breakfast since it was so late and that worked out perfectly for me because dd eats much better at BF than lunch!

We usually like the last character meals at the resorts on EMH mornings. We go to EMH until about 9:45 then leave to hit our 10:30 PS for our character meal. Works well with any of the MK monorail resorts or Cape May Cafe at Epcot.

another vote for early!

 

[bethzfl]

we usually go early just to beat the crowds.

We have always had a late around 10/1030 and it hasn't been busy. We thought that everyone wanted early as not to miss park time.

Agree...you can use it to get in the parks before opening time and beat the throngs of people at the turnstiles.

 

[WDWLVR]

We prefer early as well. Less crowds, more character interaction. Then off to the parks we go!

 

[disneyjunkie]

I like the late seating.

If we do a character meal in a park, we do it on an EMH day. That way we can take advantage of the early park hours then grab a fastpass before heading to breakfast.

By the time we're done with breakfast, our fastpass time has opened up so we can walk right onto our next ride.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

We always go early-we have found the food to be fresher earlier and we dont want to waste park time.

We like early PS's, it just allows us more park time and usually less crowds.

Hippychickali: If you have your heart set on an early Donald's,

DON'T DRIVE TO AK.

Take the bus. You will at least get in and on time. Driving will hold you up at the toll booth wntil park opening time.

We had a bad experience at Donald's and won't do it again anytime soon. Hopefully you will have a better experience.

Early....one of the first seatings, that way we can be inside the park and finished eating when the park opens.

We will be taking the bus because we are staying onsite and are not renting a car. If you don't mind me asking, what didn't you like at Donald's?

Early.

Exception- My family's Sunday ritual at WDW was to attend the mass that they used to have at the Poly Luau area and then we would go to Ohanas for later morning breakfast. From there we would monorail over to MK for the day.

 

[princessknb]

Thanks for the responses. Cranbiz what was your bad experience at Donald's if you don't mind me asking? That's one of places I'm undecided on.

 

[Aimeedyan]

We take the latest seating so it can serve as brunch. We get to the park at opening, do things before eating, and then hit our PS when the park starts to get full (around 1045-11)
