Breakfast is one of our absolute favorite meals to enjoy at the Disney parks — along with lunch, second lunch, dinner, second dinner… . But in all seriousness, is it just us or does breakfast just seem to taste better at Disney World?
Mickey Waffles
That’s why we’re counting down our top 10 most intriguing breakfast bites to get your morning motor runnin’. What’s on the menu? Let’s take a look!
1. Woody’s Lunch Box Tart in Toy Story Land
You sprinted to Slinky Dog Dash when Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened, but now you’re ready to round-up some grub! Head over to Woody’s Lunch Box and wrangle up a Lunch Box Tart!
Lunch Box Tart
Sold throughout the day, these little guys make a great dessert but do double-duty as a quick breakfast while on the move! The tarts come in Raspberry, Chocolate Hazelnut, and sometimes seasonal flavors — we’re hoping the Cinnamon Cran-Apple one returns in time for the holidays. We’ve also had a Lemon-Blueberry lunch box tart here as well!

2. Captain Cook’s Tonga Toast in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Sure you can pay a lot more for the thick slabs of Tonga Toast stuffed with bananas and rolled in cinnamon sugar at Kona Café OR you can gobble them up for less (less cash money — not less deliciousness, that is) at Captain Cook’s, a quick-service joint just downstairs! We know which one we’d pick!
Tonga Toast!
The only difference here (other than price) is that the ones at Kona Cafe come with a Strawberry Compote that you won’t find down at Captain Cook’s. Tonga Toast is a fun hidden gem that can feed an army, so save even more money and share!

3. Pongu Lumpia in Pandora
Soaring with banshees worked up your appetite? Steer yourself over to Pongu Pongu for a Pongu Lumpia — a sweet pineapple cream cheese roll! This small but mighty morning snack will get you out of Pandora in one piece — hopefully!
Pongu Lumpia
Now some people don’t like these, so just be sure that sweet pineapple cream cheese sounds like an appetizing snack to you before deciding to make this your new go-to!

4. Warm Colossal Cinnamon Roll in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
How does a cinnamon roll the size of your head sound? Or maybe the size of Mickey’s head to be precise — since it’s Mickey-shaped, of course! The Colossal Cinnamon Roll can quite possibly feed two very hungry people or even a small family!
Giant Mickey Cinnamon Roll
It delivers a good amount of icing and stays soft and yummy while you eat it unlike some cinnamon rolls in the past that got stale and dry as they cooled off. Look for it at the Animal Kingdom — you can’t miss it! You can typically find this treat at Kusafiri and Creature Comforts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

5. Warm Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern
We can’t talk about cinnamon rolls, however, without including the one over at Gaston’s Tavern! This cinnamon roll is BIG, making it perfect to share (although you might just want to grab it all for yourself).

Be sure to ask for an extra cup of icing!

6. Boardwalk Bakery Bagel Sandwiches on Disney’s BoardWalk
Near and dear to our hearts is The Boardwalk Bakery. Nothing says Disney vacay like hitting up this little spot for a hot sandwich before going to Epcot. The Everything Everything Sandwich is usually the one we gravitate towards but there are others to contend with.
Butter Butter Sandwich
Go every day and try a new one each time! Note that these do change out from time to time, so check back often!

7. Mickey Beignets at Port Orleans Resort, French Quarter
There are a ton of good reasons to stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. Reasons 1, 2, and 3 are waking up to the Mickey-shaped Beignets at Scat Cat Club’s Cafe! These deep-fried fluffy pillows of golden brown deliciousness are dusted with tons of powdery confectioner’s sugar.

8. Sleepy Hollow Waffles in Magic Kingdom
A sleeper hit at the Magic Kingdom is Sleepy Hollow’s sweet Nutella Waffle Sandwiches.
Fresh Fruit Nutella Waffle Sandwich
Their hazelnut spread and fresh fruit waffle sandwich might require assistance to finish — but we’re certain you’ll have plenty of volunteers to help you! (P.S. you could add some ice cream to this treat and make an A+ Disney snack hack!)

9. Cheshire Cat Tail in Magic Kingdom
If you’re looking for a sweet breakfast treat in Magic Kingdom, the Cheshire Cat Tail is a fantastic option! This flaky pastry is filled with chocolate and drizzled with lots of icing.
Yummmmmmmm
While it might be big enough to share, we have a feeling you’ll want to eat the whole thing once you take a bite. You’ll typically find this treat in Magic Kingdom at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe (although this spot is technically open for lunch/dinner starting around 10:30AM, so it might be a bit of a late breakfast) and Cheshire Cafe.

10. Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap in Galaxy’s Edge
Made your way straight to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in the morning to ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run? Well, after you’ve piloted the Falcon, it’s time to grab a delicious and unique breakfast with the Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap at Ronto Roasters.
This vegan wrap is made with plant-based “egg,” smoky chickpea onion slaw, and roasted tomato sauce wrapped in a warm pita. It packs a SPICY punch (almost like a curry taste) although we think most people will enjoy this level of heat.
Welcome to the Ronto Wrap family big guy!
There are a whole bunch of different flavors to really enjoy and savor here. We could seriously eat a whole bucket of the smoky chickpea onion slaw!!

Honorable Mention
No list would be complete without some honorable mentions, so here’s ours!
School Bread at Kringla Bakeri in EPCOT
When in EPCOT, make a beeline to this Nordic temple of sweets! School Bread is the MOST delicious snack to work into your AM routine — a yeasty bread roll with a sweet, but not too sweet, custardy filling topped with icing and shavings of toasted coconut!
School Bread
If School Bread isn’t your jam, there’s a whole dessert case of fresh, delicious pastries to choose from! You can read our full review of the Kringla Bakeri School Bread here!

TONGA TOAST is number 1 for us!
We have it on every trip to WDW!
Too bad almost all those options are not gluten free.
I have had all of the above except for the bagel sandwich, and all are amazing. I do have a sleeper over at Sunshine seasons, the Cinnamon French Toast Bread Pudding with a piece of bacon thrown in for around $8! Warm up for the school bread on way back to showcase!
Enough already with the School Bread at Kringla in Norway. I find it overrated and way overpriced for its size. I love the lefsa, as do many visitors to the Norway pavilion. I would buy it by the pound if I could, and not just a square or two with butter and sugar! I don’t know what their sandwiches are like right now, but I remember my late husband and I used to get one each of their sandwiches and split the. One was cold scrambled egg and smoked salmon and the other was turkey, cheese and apple. Both were served on rye or pumpernickel bread and both were out of this world.
