What are your favorite CS breakfasts in the Parks? - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

What are your favorite CS breakfasts in the Parks?
Just trying to get some ideas on new places to get a quick breakfast on our trip. We usually eat in our room or the resort CS place. But, lately, I've started hearing about even more options for a quick park breakfast. What are your favorites and what do you enjoy there?

Can't advise since the only CS breakfast in a park we've done was BOG's. It wasn't fabulous, requires an ADR as you likely know, and took about as long as TS since we can never resist wandering around the place despite having eaten there several times.
However, I'd suggest looking over the All Ears menus for the resort CS in the CR, GF and Poly. Those are all close enough to the MK that when you're headed for ropedrop or simply time in the MK, it'd be pretty simple to grab CS breakfast at one of those and then ride the resort loop monorail on to the MK.
If you eat at the CR, it's a speedy 10-15 minute walk to the MK on nice sidewalks. Or, from the Poly or GF, you could hop onto the small boat that goes Poly-GF-MK. It's a relaxing ride that's especially lovely early in the day.
I suggest checking the All Ears menus to see if any items at these resorts' CS appeal. Gasparilla Grill at the GF gets pretty good reviews and has a nice open-air terrace with tables as well as indoor seating.

We have always liked Starring Rolls in DHS. Can get crowded in the morning-but they have bagels, cinnamon buns, coffee, danish fruit. And a cute little seating area outside.
I am not a big breakfast person-so a bagel and coffee is perfect for me.

We just did a trip in March and wanted to pick up CS for DD in the parks (I had a protein bar for me). It was so hard to fond someplace that was opened and served breakfast. Really disappointing. I don't remember this being an issue on past trips.
This was the week before Easter and the parks were packed. We usually go on much less busy times so it wasn't for a want of customers.
We have done BOG and it was quite expensive and every loud. We are not huge breakfast eaters so it was too much food. We did not have the issues Dot had.
Also I failed terribly at getting a decent cup of coffee.
I didn't think there really were any places that were open to serve breakfast other than maybe all the Starbucks locations. I know at one point in time at AK Pizzafari had a breakfast menu but I think over the years it's an on again off again thing. Other than that, I too suggest looking at Allears for the menus as that will tell you what, if any, park restaurants are open for breakfast.
We really enjoy a quick breakfast at Sunshine Seasons (in the Land pavilion in Epcot). Pretty standard bfast food, but we've tried multiple things and always enjoyed them.

Agree with both Starring Rolls at DHS and Sunshine Seasons at EPCOT.
Back in the days of paper FP, my mom and I quick-walked to Soarin' to get the FP, settled in for a leisurely breakfast at Sunshine, rode Living With the Land, and then our FP were ready. They have a good selection, for any meal of the day.

The only counter service breakfast we ever do is Sunshine Seasons in The Land at Epcot. It's nice to just head out of your resort, eat there, and then head right to Soar'in.
I usually eat in the room, too. But at Epcot, I stop at Sunshine Seasons for the berry croissant bread pudding (mmm!). I used to like getting a cinnamon roll from Gaston's Tavern in New Fantasyland, but I think they changed the recipe, and it's not as good anymore.

Mmmmmm, I too love that bread pudding at Sunshine Seasons. Hope it's still there in August.
Sadly they cut out a lot of the in park breakfast options. I remember trying to find some sort of QS protein at 8 am for someone in our party in MK. It was not easy. I remember getting Mickey waffles in the park when I was younger.
We have a tradition of having some sort of ridiculous sweet for breakfast at least once at Starring Rolls. They have other healthier options but we go for the giant cupcakes
I think the better options are really at resorts for breakfast. The in-park options are limited and crowded at best. The few places that might have options that I can think of have already been mentioned, but I've never been overly impressed with the food received. I prefer to do a nice character breakfast or two and the rest of the time breakfast in the room/on the way out to the park.
We went to Sunshine Seasons because last year I remember having a nice breakfast there. This year there were only a few thing on offer. I think DD had a banana and a drink, I had a coffee (not very good either).
DD got a breakfast sandwich from the CS next to Tuskker House and I got a very expensive yogurt (Greek but not a great brand and with artificial sweetner) for $3.00. We could not find any place open for breakfast in the parks, other than BOG and Starbucks. I could understand if it were a slow time but the parks were packed.
Disney wants you to eat before you come. They have eliminated some breakfast options and most of the remaining are not too exciting. Each park does have a Starbucks and at least one table service/buffet place that is open for breakfast, but mostly they don't appeal to us. For this reason, we normally eat at our resort food court in the morning.
Many years ago, Electric Umbrella had a wonderful breakfast pizza that we ate a couple of times on our trip. Gone.
We also ate a few times at Pizzafari, pretty standard breakfast platters with OJ, but a fun atmosphere. Gone.
