Brunch at Grand Floridian Cafe

Grand Floridian Cafe, located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, is a table service restaurant that offers, breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to guests. It’s been several years since Brandon and I ate at Grand Floridian Cafe. We recently decided to make a last minute late lunch because the restaurant offers breakfast food (aka brunch) until nearly 2 p.m. daily. I had a total breakfast food craving and the brunch offerings gave us a chance to get breakfast or lunch depending on what we were interested in.

Breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace

Topolino’s Terrace, located at Disney’s Riviera Resort, has quickly risen to be one of our top restaurants at Walt Disney World. With outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere and theming, and excellent special dietary needs accommodations, there’s a lot to love about Topolino’s Terrace. We first dined at the restaurant in August 2020, and after such a great meal we knew that we had to dine here for their character breakfast. During a mini-staycation at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, we decided to enjoy a last minute brunch at Topolino’s Terrace when we saw a late morning reservation open up.

Breakfast at Royal Palace

Leisurely breakfasts on the Disney Dream are one of my favorite ways to start a morning whenever we cruise. While many people enjoy Cabanas, the ship’s buffet, I prefer dining at Royal Palace — the a la carte option each morning. On day 3 of our cruise, we were arriving at Castaway Cay (Disney’s Private Island), so I headed to Royal Palace for some allergy-friendly Mickey waffles while we docked.

Breakfast at Royal Palace

On our recent 3-day cruise on the Disney Dream, I had breakfast a couple of the mornings at Royal Palace. This dining option, located on deck 3, midship, is my go-to spot for a la carte breakfast. It’s my personal preference, as I find Cabanas (the buffet) on the ship to be a little overwhelming. I personally don’t enjoy the lengthy waits to get even simple items like gluten free muffins, so I opt for Royal Palace breakfast almost every time. On this visit, I dined by myself (as Brandon is not an early morning person), and I also pre-ordered my breakfast the night before.
