Which would you pick and why??

[dizneekrazee]

So there is so much yummy food at DL it is hard for me to decide where to go. We are having a breakfast dilema. We are eating breakfast one morning at Carnation Cafe, and brunch 1 morning at Storytellers.

The morning will be a MM, but I havent decided which day we will do our MM, Sat. or Sun. On sat., MM would start at 7, and on sun it wouldnt start til 8. I am thinking we would do it on Sun, not sure how easy my family will get up on Sat being that we stayed out late for MToTP.

Our options are breakfast at Riverbelle Terrace or Cafe Orleans. Which would you choose and why?? Whichever morning we do, ir will be our MM, we will do our early entry rides first, then have breakfast around the time the rest of the park is opening.

TIA!!

when are you going? because I heard they are going to discontinue breakfast soon at Cafe Orleans.

I'm thinking on a Sunday morning in November, the crowds might not be too bad. If they were, Cafe Orleans might be a better choice, because can't you get PS's for there? Where the other two you mentioned are counter service.

Another suggestion I could make would be to have something at your hotel in the morning to tide you over, and make your meal a bit later in the morning; more of a brunch. The reason being, that time right after MM is prime time to collect FPs and ride the rides early in the day before the lines get long. MM at 8 (do Fantasyland, Buzz and Space! ) grab another Space FP right at 9 a.m. when the FP machines open up, and ride some rides like Star tours, Jungle Cruise and Indy when the lines are slow. Grab another FP at 9:45, ride some more stuff while the lines are still slow... you can probably even get another FP at 10:30 or so before you go have your brunch. Voila, 3 sets of FPs in hand, lots of rides already under your belt, and time to slow down, stroll and relax the rest of the day.

Just my 2 cents. Isn't planning fun?

That is about what we were thinking. If we do FL, SM, and Buzz, and get FP for SM while we are there, then head over to the other side of the park and eat at like Riverbelle Terrace or Cafe Orleans, and maybe grab FP for Splash while there, and do HM and POTC, and think we would have alot accomplished.

Before I got on here to read this, I was thinking Riverbelle Terrace, because I love pancakes so much, but PP mention Cafe Orleans possibly closing for breakfast, and we have never been there. I might want to give that a shot. So, I guess Tomorrowland Terrace is off the list this trip.

Carnation... I think it would be cheaper... but don't quote me on that!

I would choose The Riverbelle. I love sitting outside along the Rivers of America watching the people stream in while I eat my Mickey Mouse pancake.

They both sound yummy. Someone posted a pic of an egg croissant sandwich from Riverbelle recently. It looked delicious. Now I'm going to make a point to eat there (especially if they're closing.)

Thanks for the very detailed MM plan. I plan to use it during our MM on September 16th!
