    We're staying at the park with 7 other people. We have paid for half board and booked restaurants for dinner in the park. However we haven't booked for breakfast as we're staying in the hotel at Disney, do we need to?

    Bonjour!

    Hi Lucy, welcome to planDisney. Thank you for stopping by with your first question today! As I look out of my window at the rainy Suffolk skies, again, I, too, am daydreaming about my next Disney vacation. Your countdown to Disneyland Paris is just around the corner, how exciting!

    Meal Plans at Disneyland Paris are such a great way to pay in advance for your dining experiences. My family always chooses this option, budgeting for meals while on vacation is just no fun, I’d much rather budget for Mickey merchandise! As you have chosen Half Board, you will receive one breakfast meal voucher per person, per night of your stay. There is no need to book breakfast, simply head down to the restaurant in your Disney Hotel.

    I do find that between 7:30 am and 8:30 am, there can be a queue to enter the breakfast buffet, but it usually moves quickly. During your visit, Extra Magic Time begins at 8:30 am and allows Disney Hotel Guests to enter the parks one hour before official opening. One option to avoid the busiest breakfast period is to head into the parks first for Extra Magic Time, enjoy a couple of attractions with lower wait times, and then return for breakfast at around 10:30 am. As breakfast is served until 11 am, this gives you a more relaxed experience. When we eat at that time, we tend to snack during the day and then enjoy our evening meal reservation later on.

    The breakfast buffets in the Disney Hotels offer so many choices! Continental options, cooked options, and my favourite Disney breakfast staple, the Mickey breakfast cake. Be sure to try it during your stay!

    I hope this helps answer your question today, Lucy! I hope you all have the BEST time visiting Disneyland Paris in just a few weeks’ time. If you have any further vacation planning questions, please reach out to me. I’d love to help!

    See ya real soon!
