The Best Options For Breakfast At Disneyland- 2024

Looking for the best options for breakfast at Disneyland? I’ve got you covered! I’ve made a helpful list of the best options for breakfast at Disneyland Park and at Disney California Adventure Park. There aren’t a ton of options for breakfast at Disneyland, so this will help narrow things down for you so you don’t waste precious time wandering the parks looking for the best breakfast. I’ve also included a section on character dining breakfast options and breakfast options at each of the Disneyland Resort Hotels and Downtown Disney breakfast options.

I’ve got an episode on my podcast about Breakfast at Disneyland. Make sure you check it out!

This post will give you an idea of the best options for breakfast at the Disneyland theme park to grab either a quick or leisurely breakfast. I don’t often eat breakfast inside the parks when I’m visiting Disneyland. The first two hours after the park opens have the very lowest crowd levels of the entire day. This means that the ride wait times are also low! I prefer to rope drop the parks(more info on rope dropping Disneyland here) and eat breakfast in my hotel so I don’t have to waste precious morning time eating!

When I do eat breakfast at Disneyland, I prefer to eat it a little later when the park is starting to get more crowded. Usually, around 9:30 or 10:00 am. If I have time for a sit-down breakfast, My favorite breakfast is from Carnation Cafe because they have Mickey waffles! I’m a huge fan of waffles and when they’re Mickey-shaped, they are even better. This is a great place and I love all their breakfast items, but the waffles have my heart!

I’ve included all the best options for breakfast at Disneyland on this list so you’ll know what’s available and can decide what’s best for you and your family. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so whether you eat it in the parks or at your hotel beforehand, make sure you don’t skip it!

Discount Disneyland Tickets

Please be aware, that Disney theme parks all require park tickets and reservations. Make sure you have both! Please don’t pay full price for your Disney tickets or hotel. My partners at Get Away Today have the very best deals on tickets and hotels. Their customer service is top-notch and they even have layaway plans. You can find them here or call 1-855-GET-AWAY. Make sure you tell them Melissa from Mix In Some Magic sent you for the best deal! If you book a package with park tickets and a hotel room you can use my code MIX10 to save an extra $10. That’s more churro money, friends!

I have a bunch of hotel reviews that might be helpful for you if you’re still trying to decide where you’d like to stay. I prefer to stay at a hotel within walking distance of the Disney parks. This is a great option for our family because I love being able to just walk over to the parks and walk back to the hotel when the day is over.
