Which scenario makes the most sense for a Minnie's breakfast added in?

[jacobsmommy]

The days we will be at DL for full days are Wed June 23, Thurs June 24, and Fri June 25th. We are doing a Goofy's dinner on arrival night, the 22nd. We want to add in Minnie's for breakfast one day and I can call starting this Friday for reservations. Here are my choices:

At DL for rope drop on Wednesday, do rides/Princesses or Fairies until about 9:30ish and then do a Minnie's breakfast at about 9:45.

Early Entry at DL on Thursday-Fantasyland-Toontown at opening (9:00??) and then breakfast at around 10:00.

Friday-breakfast at park opening (8:00) and then go to DCA afterwards.

Which makes the most sense?

I have to eat 1st thing... if it was my itinerary, I'd do it on Friday and go to DCA after... lot of others like to do a couple hours of rides in the parks first, have a later breakfast & then possibly skip lunch that way...

Keep in mind...unless you have reservations...it's not like if you get there at 9:30am that you will be seated and eating by 9:45am. Whenever I go by and see the breakfast...I see a long line waiting to get in since it's pretty much a "first come first serve" type deal.

I've gone to it before...and it's a huge rush to eat there....much like if you went to a school cafeteria ( with comprable food ) where there are just too many people waiting in line and scrambling for tables. My suggestion is to go to the ChipNDale Breakfast at DCA Hotel ( with IMHO much better food and decor along with less of a "rushed" feeling ) then head off to the rest of DCA ( since you're there ) and skip Minnie's Breakfast ( for the reasons mentioned above ). But if you are to go with your choices, go to the Minnie's Breakfast as early as possible ( 8am ) and then go off to DL or DCA afterwards. To me, the only real advantage of going to Minnie's Breakfast is that once you eat...you can head off to DL.

The reservations are the important part. I echo what was said above. If you want to do Minnie's, the benefit is going before the park opens on a non MM day so that you are already there when the rope drops. I wouldn't give up morning time for breakfast. Especially on a Friday.

Although the food is nothing to write home about, the character interaction really is great at Minnie's. Have a good time!

Can you get in before the park opens? I thought the restaurant didn't open until the park did?

You'll want to call Disney Dining to find out what's going on for your trip days.
