Disney Breakfast Restaurants That You Can Enjoy Before The Park Opens

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for many. Luckily, Disney World has several options for breakfast when dining at the parks, or at the Disney resorts. Many guests love enjoying breakfast at the parks, but many guests don’t realize that some restaurants offer a very specific perk! Some restaurants offer breakfast reservations so early that guests can actually enter the park before it opens. When you arrive at the park entrance look for a sign that says early breakfast reservations, or talk to a Cast Member. You’ll be allowed entry into the park and you’ll be directed towards the restaurant. For example, if you have an 8:30 breakfast reservation you can enter the park as early as 8am. This offers a unique opportunity to walk through an empty park and maybe even snap a few photos. Check out these restaurants for breakfast that you can enjoy before the park opens!
