Finding the Best Breakfasts at Disney World is no easy task. What breakfast foods do you like? How many people are in your travel party? Are you in a rush or do you need to ease into your morning? So many things to be considered! How do you know which one to pick? Here’s our round-up of our favorite places to eat breakfast at Walt Disney World.
Getting breakfast at Walt Disney World is sometimes more trouble than it’s worth! Especially when you’re up against figuring out Disney Transportation, trying to get to the rides before lines get too long, and kids who may be dragging early in the morning. While we always love the alternative of just having granola bars in the resort room for a cheap breakfast at Disney, sometimes you need actual food! Here are the best places to eat Breakfasts at Disney World we’ve found so far!

Breakfast at EPCOT Park
While you can always head to the Connections Cafe, aka Starbucks, at Epcot, there are other breakfast options across the park. Of course the draw of Connections is the Liege Waffle, so if you’re set on that just be prepared to wait in line.
Les Halles Boulangerie Pâtisserie | EPCOT France
Hands down our favorite quick breakfast at Disney World, this French Disney Quick Serve Restaurant features a variety of croissants, sandwiches, quiches, parfait, and breakfast-ready desserts. Everything you need for a great little meal to start your day. Frankly, we could eat everything here.
You can eat inside or outside and we love that this place in World Showcase tends to open early- like at 9 am. Making it the perfect location to have breakfast at EPCOT if you’re hoping to be close to the action when the rest of World Showcase opens at 11 am. Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is also great for a light lunch, dinner, or snack!
Breakfast at Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is littered with restaurants, but dare we say only a few of them are actually good? For breakfast we have a few favorites, that are simply the best options in the entire park. So, take our word for it, if you’re not heading to the Trolley Car Cafe ( Starbucks) these options will satisfy and impress.
Woody’s Lunch Box
This egg and tater tot bowl is AMAZING and budget-friendly as a quick-serve breakfast in Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Especially for families that want something quick and easy before heading to the rides. You can also check out Woody’s Lunch Box for a yummy grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch.
Ronto Roasters
One of our absolute favorite restaurants at Hollywood Studios is Ronto Roasters. Not only is it good for lunch, but it has breakfast wraps too! You can grab a sausage and egg, or plant based wrap here, with that delicious pepper sauce, and more flavor than you’d expect! Highly Recommended for Breakfast in Hollywood Studios.
Breakfast at Magic Kingdom
We’re as guilty as anyone of just heading to the Starbucks line at the Main Street bakery in Magic Kingdom when we need breakfast. But, if you’re not keen on the line, or simply want something more authentic for your Magic Kingdom Breakfast, here are a few of the best breakfast places in the park to consider.
Sleepy Hollow
The waffles at Sleepy Hollow have been around for ages, but recently they got downsized. Now you simply get a Mickey Waffle with either chicken, or fruit and nutella. the smaller portion is disappointing, but it’s still a solid breakfast at Magic Kingdom that won’t break the bank. Sleepy Hollow Breakfast Menu.
Gaston’s Tavern
Home to a sharable Cinnamon Roll, Creme Bruelee Croissant, and the Ham and Gruyere Tart. Foods here are less than $10 bucks each and it beats waiting int he Starbucks line if you’re looking for breakfast at Magic Kingdom. All of these foods are good, which is more than we can say for some places here. And of course you can also grab LeFou’s Brew, coffee and tea here too. Gaston’s Tavern Menu.
Crystal Palace
If you’re looking for a decent character meal at Magic Kingdom, then Crystal Palace is a good option. Featuring Winnie the Pooh and Friends, this buffet restaurant offers an all you care to enjoy breakfast at an okay price. The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom includes a variety of cereals, meats, veggies, eggs, Mickey waffles and even an omelet-making station where you can have the chef customize it to your hearts delight.
Breakfast at Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has a couple places that we just love for breakfast. While we still need that coffee, of course, we usually head to these favorite restaurants for really good breakfast options, and a reason to ease into the morning. You know, instead of rushing around like crazy on a park day.
Yak and Yeti Local Cafe
While we typically head straight for Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom for some Starbucks coffee, we recently decided to give another eatery a try! With a selection of eggs, potatoes, sausage, and even sandwiches, the Yak and Yeti Local Cafe offers up a quiet seating environment away from the park entrance chaos, great food, and a Joffrey’s Coffee place nearby. Meaning we could grab our coffee, nice breakfast, and ease into the day! Bonus. This is also one of the cheapest Breakfasts at Disney World, which is such a bonus!
Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery
Hidden in the Africa area, across from the gift shop, you can find a little stand with a cast member taking orders. Generally, you’ll notice this because of the line. Absolutely one of the best breakfasts in Animal Kingdom, the Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery serves croissant sandwiches, totchos, and overnight oats. Typically under $11 per person you can also grab danishes, croissants and the Colossal Cinnamon Roll here too! All worth it.
Breakfast at Disney Resorts
If you’re looking for more than just a food court breakfast at your resort, never fear! There are other budget-friendly options for breakfast at Walt Disney World can be found at the Disney Resorts too. Here are some of the best breakfast places to eat at Disney World Resorts.
Kona Cafe | Disney’s Polynesian Resort
The Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort is home to the famous Tonga Toast! This French toast, stuffed with bananas and covered in cinnamon and sugar delicacy is definitely worth trying! We also love that you can get eggs, potatoes, French press, tea, and a mimosa flight. While we also love dinner at the Kona Cafe, nothing compares to grabbing breakfast at Kona before heading to Magic Kingdom for the day!
Trattoria al Forno | Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
You may know Trattoria al Forno for its fancy Italian dinners, its pizza, or the Bon Voyage Character Breakfast. But you can also grab breakfast without characters! If you know how to ask for it. If you’re looking for an amazing iced coffee, avocado toast, and all your basic omelet flair with a bit of Italian thrown in then this may just be your next breakfast stop. Check out our review of breakfast at Trattoria al Forno and why we think this is one of the best breakfasts at Disney World.
Grand Floridian Cafe | Grand Floridian Resort
The Grand Floridian Cafe is another one of the best breakfasts in Disney World. Mainly because you get views of the Grand Floridian Resort gardens, a super fresh breakfast; pancakes with fruit compote, omelets, french press coffee, and pastries. So many options! Read our full review of breakfast at the Grand Floridian Cafe.
Ale and Compass | Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Okay, we talk about Ale and Compass a lot, because it’s simply one of the best Breakfasts at Disney World. Located in the Yacht Club on Disney’s Boardwalk, Ale and Compass is a budget-friendly option for breakfast ( and any other meal), when you’re looking for good table service at Walt Disney World. Including chocolate waffles and Apple french toast, alongside traditional options, you can even get a buffet breakfast here. We like the french pressed coffee and the fact that you can get your Breakfast To Go at Ale and Compass. Read our Breakfast at Ale and Compass Review for all the details.
