    HI,Booked for breakfast at Cape May Cafe at 11:20. Breakfast ends at 11:30. I'm concerned that because my booking is so close to the end of the Breakfast session time, the food on the buffet will not be as good as if my booking was earlier

    Greetings, Richard, and welcome back to planDisney! Your trip is getting closer and closer. I always get so excited when I'm at the 60 day mark prior to my trip so I can begin to make dining reservations. That's when it starts to feel real to me. Thanks for asking us your question about when breakfast ends. Let's dig in!

    You've picked a great place to enjoy a character breakfast. Cape May Cafe located at Disney's Beach Club Resort is one of my favorites for breakfast because of the great food, character interaction and the fun beachy outfits the characters wear. Dinner there is delicious, too, but you'll only get to meet characters at breakfast. 

    I'm happy to share that you need not worry about the food quality or quantity with a late breakfast reservation. You are correct that breakfast ends at 11:30, but that only means that's the latest time they'll accept a reservation to be seated. They will keep replenishing the food until everyone has had ample opportunity to finish their breakfast. Likewise, the characters will continue visiting each table until all Guests have had a chance to meet them. So, relax and enjoy!

    I'm not sure what the rest of your plans are, but one of the things I love about this location is its proximity to both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's within walking distance of both, although considerably closer to EPCOT. I like to walk over to EPCOT and take a stroll around World Showcase after dining at any of the resorts in this area. It's a great way to walk off the wonderful meal. 

    Cool KIDS' SUMMER will be in full swing during your visit as well. If you do decide to visit EPCOT, check out GoofyCore in CommuniCore Hall. There's a DJ, dance parties, games and activities, and they even have some limited time food and beverage offerings at GRAB-AND-GOOF for purchase. In fact, you'll find limited time snacks as part of Cool KIDS' SUMMER at several locations all over Walt Disney World, many of which are under $10, as featured in this recent Disney Parks Blog article

    Richard, I hope this has eased your mind about your late breakfast reservation. Have a wonderful trip, and please visit us again with any other planning questions you have.

    Let your dreams guide you!
