It’s never too early for sweets!
The old cliche of breakfast being the most important meal of the day is especially true at Disney World, as having some food in your stomach and the energy it brings is important to making it through a full theme park day. However, it is still a vacation, so there’s nothing wrong with indulging your sweet tooth and having what essentially amounts to dessert for breakfast.
Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll
Available at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, this massive pastry is smothered in enough icing to cover all of Gaston’s barge-sized biceps and will surely give enough a sugar rush to carry you through the first half of a Magic Kingdom day. If nothing else, it sure beats out five-dozen eggs.
Waffles at Chef Mickey’s
So, you can find Mickey-shaped waffles at many locations on Disney World property, but there’s something especially deliciously decadent about indulging on Mickey waffles at the Contemporary Resort’s Check Mickey’s thanks to the buffet’s litany of toppings offerings including syrups, fruits, sweets, candy, marshmallows, and even ice cream.
Tonga Toast
Available at the Polynesian Resort’s Kona Cafe, Tonga Toast is of our favorite – – and one of the most unique – – breakfast dishes in all of Walt Disney World. If you’re not familiar, it’s banana-stuffed sourdough French toast rolled in cinnamon-sugar, served with a strawberry compote, and it’s drool-inducing.
Chocolate Croissant at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
EPCOT’s World Showcase is full of tantalizing culinary options, including these delicious chocolate croissants. Available at the France pavilion’s Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, these flaky pastries make an ideal on-the-go breakfast for walking World Showcase.
School Bread from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
On the other side of the World Showcase, we have the irroestiable school bread available in Norway’s School Bread from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. This pastry concoction is a sweet roll, not too dissimilar from the texture of a cinnamon roll, filled with Custard and dipped in shredded coconut.
Joffrey’s Donuts
Rounding (in more ways than one) out our list, we have Joffrey’s donuts. Available at the coffee stands available around the resort, these MASSIVE treats have all the earmarks of the classic baked good. Usually, they’re available in variants with strawberry, chocolate, and strawberry frosting variants. However, there are often holiday and seasonal exclusives as well.
These are some of the dessert-like breakfast options at the Walt Disney World Resort, but certainly not the only ones. Did your favorite make our list? Stay tuned to DFB for more.

A couple pongu lumpia for breakfast at AK makes my list. And don’t sleep on maple syrup on your Tonga toast. I thinks its better than the compote.
