Breakfast alternatives to the options at your Disney resort
If you’re looking for alternatives to dining at a Disney restaurant for breakfast, there are a few options you can consider.
One option is to use Amazon Prime Now to order breakfast items and have them delivered to your hotel room. This is a great option if you’re looking for a more convenient and comfortable breakfast experience.
Another option is to use a food delivery service such as DoorDash or UberEats to order breakfast from a nearby restaurant and have it delivered to your hotel room. This can be a great way to enjoy a variety of breakfast options.
A third option is to wait until you’re in the theme parks to eat. Many of the quick-service restaurants in the parks open early and offer breakfast options. This allows you to start your day in the parks with a meal and save time before the crowds arrive. Lastly, you can always head to Disney Springs, which has a variety of restaurants that serve breakfast. This is a great option if you’re looking for a more diverse selection of options and have time before your park reservations or don’t mind the extra travel time.
