Do you know where to find the BEST BREAKFAST at Disney World?
If so, you’re in the right place!
Walt Disney World is known for a few things like classic attractions, Mickey-shaped everything, and scrumptious food.
When it comes to starting your day off right and having the most energy to hit the parks, you’re going to want to grab breakfast.
But be warned, not all breakfast at Disney is created equally (hello, quick service scrambled eggs…).
If you have a little extra time to spare planning and looking at menus you can truly find some of Disney’s best breakfast locations at the parks, resorts and Disney Springs.

1. Gaston’s Tavern (Magic Kingdom)
While many people are off racing to Space Mountain, you should definitely plan a leisurely breakfast at Magic Kingdom.
One of my favorite ways to do this without actually having to make a dining reservation is to get the giant cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland and snag a seat inside on hot days, or outside in the courtyard on cooler mornings.
This massive cinnamon roll can easily feed two, but I’ve polished off one by myself a few times. Making it one of the best places to get breakfast at Disney World!
The super soft and gooey cinnamon roll comes with frosting on top, but if you really want to have a sugar rush first thing in the morning consider asking for a second cup of icing to make breakfast even more decadent.

2. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (Epcot)
If you are set on having breakfast at this park though be sure to get there early and head straight for Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie.
The charming French bakery is serving up everything from chocolate croissants to delightful quiche and baguette sandwiches.
The trick to getting here early is to get to Epcot about an hour before the official opening.
Typically the Disney parks open anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes before the posted opening times, and this is the ideal time to grab a snack and enjoy the atmosphere of the France Pavilion before it gets too busy later in the day.
While you’re there, be sure to try the Florentine Quiche which comes with ham and gruyere quiche.
3. Ronto Roasters (Disney’s Hollywood Studios)
There is nothing better than walking into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge first thing in the morning before it’s flooded with people trying to get on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
While exploring you’re going to want to stop at Ronto Roasters to get the Ronto Morning Wrap.
This breakfast spin on the original Ronto Wrap comes with eggs, pork sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and peppercorn sauce wrapped in a pita.
Breakfast service at Ronto Roasters is very short, so you’re going to want to mobile order your meal before 10:30 a.m. to guarantee you can eat breakfast here, then grab your food from the counter and enjoy at the nearby seating area.

4. Tusker House (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park)
One breakfast we cannot get enough of at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is Tusker House, which is near Festival of the Lion King.
This buffet-style breakfast is African-inspired, but picky eaters will still love eating here.
Tusker House is also known for their characters, which include Donald Duck and his friends in safari outfits.
Because of new guidelines, characters will not stop at your table, but they will still interact with you from afar, which we honestly love more than having to stop our breakfast every few minutes to say hi to someone.
You will need a reservation to eat here, and they can be hard to come by, so be sure to book as early as possible.
5. Grand Floridian Café (Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa)
There’s just something about spending the morning at a deluxe resort dining coffee and enjoying a leisurely meal that we love.
One of our favorite breakfasts at a Disney Deluxe Resort is Grand Floridian Café at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
The breakfast there is served until 2 p.m., meaning you can even do a fancy Sunday brunch here.
I absolutely love the Mickey Chicken and Waffles, which comes with a Belgian waffle and a perfectly fried piece of chicken.
Pour over some syrup and add a little hot sauce, top if off with a mimosa and you will have a wonderful, and filling breakfast.
Reservations are needed to dine here, so be sure to snag one before leaving home.

6. Wine Bar George (Disney Springs)
If there’s one place we always rave about at Disney Springs it’s Wine Bar George, and their weekend brunch is a fun escape from the hustle and bustle of the parks.
I love that I can get all of our brunch favorites like Steak and Eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, and French Toast.
If you really want to go over the top with brunch consider getting one of the restaurant’s signature boards, like the Big Board which has six cheeses and five meats.
Brunch at Wine Bar George would not be complete without getting a glass of Dole Whip Frozcato.
The frozen drink is made with Moscato, vodka, and pineapple Dole Whip and is perfect to go with any sweet or savory brunch option.
7. Topolino’s Terrace (Disney’s Riviera Resort)
Topolino’s Terrace is one of the BEST places to get breakfast at Disney World so much so that it is extremely hard to get a reservation.
Here not only do you get a quality selection of food, you’ll also get to enjoy it with Mickey Mouse and his friends roaming the restaurant to chat with you!
The rooftop restaurant serves breakfast and dinner in a beautiful dining room surrounded by floor to ceiling windows that give panoramic views of Walt Disney World.
While you’re there, I recommend getting the The Sour Cream Waffles, Smoked Salmon Bagle, and Wood Fired Butchers Steak.
Just make sure you book your reservations ASAP!
8. Woody’s Lunch Box (Hollywood Studios)
At Woody’s Lunch Box, Disney’s goal is to take you inside Andy’s lunch box that has now turned it into a backyard walk-up window serving classic childhood treats.
I recommend booking your Genie+ Reservation for Slinky Dog Dash for the morning, then heading over to Woody’s Lunch Box for breakfast.
Just remember to use the Mobile Ordering System to get your food faster!
Best Food on Woody’s Lunch Box Menu:
- “Totchos” Potato Barrels coated with Beef and Bean Chili, Shredded Cheese and signature Queso with Tomatoes and Corn Chips finished with Sour Cream and a sprinkle of Green Onions
- Breakfast Bowl- Hearty portion of Potato Barrels smothered in Smoked Brisket Country Gravy, Scrambled Eggs and a sprinkling of Green Onions
- Smoked Turkey Breakfast Sandwich– Thick-sliced Smoked Turkey Breast, Melted Swiss Cheese, Sautéed Green Pepper, Onions and Scrambled Eggs on Grilled Sourdough
- Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich – Melted Provolone, Cheddar, and American on Grilled Sourdough Bread
- Raspberry Lunch Box Tart
- Grown-Up’s Lemonade– Three Olives Cherry Vodka, Lemonade and Black Cherry Purée

9. Whispering Canyon (Disney’s Wilderness Lodge)
This Disney breakfast spot offers a country-style frontier theme with log cabin décor – but where they stand out is their Cast Members trained in deep southern accents and sass!
If you’re looking for a hearty, all-you-care-to-eat way to start your day, then this is THE place.
For breakfast, there are skillets that range from “The Carnivore,” which features meat lover items like house smoked ham and beef brisket, to “The Lighter Side” skillet, which serves you egg-white and spinach frittata, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, and more on a replenishing basis.

10. Art Chef Smith’s Homecoming (Disney Springs)
Well y’all, if southern comfort food’s your thang, then THIS is the best breakfast at Disney World for you, BY FAR!
From friend chicken and donuts, to pecan-smoked bacon, there’s no shortage of sweet or savory brunch items here!
Please, the cocktail menu is creative AND extensive, with blueberry mimosas, white peach sangria, and watermelon infused moonshine, just to name a few.
Things to Remember When Having Brunch Here
- Average Price: $35 per person
- Fan Favorite Item: Hush Puppy Benedict – Hush puppy cakes topped with fried chicken tenders, poached eggs, griddled ham, and pimento hollandaise sauce for $24!
- Special Breakfast Offerings: 9 a.m. – 12:55 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays

Final Tips and Thoughts For Choosing the Best Breakfast at Walt Disney World
As you can see, there are so many delicious options for you to try on your Disney vacation. Below are a couple tips to help you make the most of your time:
- If you can’t get a reservation on your first try keep attempting, especially a few days before your trip. People cancel reservations all the time due to plan changes. This could mean you get to eat exactly where you want if you’re willing to look frequently.
- If you’re dining at a quick service location try to find a fun spot to sit and eat instead of rushing to eat and walk at the same time. A few of our favorite spots are the hub grass at Magic Kingdom, and the courtyard near the French bakery at Epcot.
