Disney Hollywood Studios Breakfast Tips to Get You Started
When visiting Hollywood Studios, it’s important to remember that lines on the most popular attractions can get long. We’re talking 50+ minutes long in some cases. Since lines tend to be shortest in the morning, spending a lengthy amount of time breakfasting in a casual table service atmosphere, might not be your best bet.
To optimize your time and spend more of it riding rides when lines are at their shortest, consider a quick service breakfast options at Hollywood Studios. Quick-service is Disney’s term for counter service. Think fast food, but with better theming and usually tastier options.

Disney Hollywood Studios Breakfast Quick Service Options
Let’s explore some of Disney Hollywood Studios breakfast quick service dining options.

Fairfax Fare
If the kids (or adults) are missing their Mickey shaped waffles, Fairfax Fare offers up these tasty favorites with syrup and bacon. You can also grab a hot cup of Joffrey’s coffee while the kids (or again, the adults) sip on a Belle Cup of Enchantment. For the uninitiated, that’s cranberry and Passion Fruit-Orange-Guava juices topped with a “yellow shimmer” and strawberry boba pearls.
Where It’s Located: On Sunset Boulevard near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and across from Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage.
Pros: Mickey Waffles, need we say more?
Cons: Not much variety if you need to feed different taste options.
Ice Cold Hydraulics
Churros and Cinnamon Rolls make this snack stand on Grand Avenue a nearly irresistible breakfast option at Hollywood Studios for many guests, especially when each mini cinnamon roll comes candy painted with Coca-Cola infused glaze and toasted nuts.
Where It’s Located: On Grand Avenue, just before you enter Star Wars Land. Look for the Muppet Fountain.
Pros: Unique and flavorful. Where else are you going to find a breakfast like this?
Cons: The intense sugar rush could keep little ones on high alert for most of the morning.
Joffreys
This coffee cart located outside of the Tower of Terror specializes in coffee drinks, but also offers up some really delectable, and large, donuts.

Market
The rather generic name for this dining kiosk hints at the fact that breakfast options may not be the real specialty here. You can, however, grab a cookie to satisfy your sweet tooth, and a banana to add some healthy substance. If you’re going all in on the sugary goodness, opt for the Pineapple-Coconut Slushy while you’re there.
Where It’s Located: Pixar Plaza
Pros: Fast and easy to grab and satisfies your sweet tooth.
Cons: May not be very filling for larger appetites
Click here for Market’s Menu
Neighborhood Bakery
Bakery here is misleading, because the only qualifying item you’ll find is Jack’s Num Num Cookie, which is really a chocolate chip tart. For a sugar overload, top it off with a blue raspberry or wild cherry slushy.
Where It’s Located: Pixar Plaza
Pros: Fast and easy to grab and satisfies your sweet tooth.
Cons: May not be very filling for larger appetites. May not open until after 9:00 am.

Ronto Roasters
Grilled sausage spices up the morning at this crew favorite inside Batuu. Weary travelers to this space outpost can choose from the Ronto Morning Wrap, featuring egg and sausage punctuated with tangy flavors or the Kyryll Pork Rinds with ancho Chile and cheddar cheese. If you’re seeking a slightly healthier breakfast option at Hollywood Studios, try the Rising Moons Overnight Oats, an item that pops in some dragon fruit, yogurt and other seasonal fruits.
Where It’s Located: Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
Pros: Ronto Roasters features heartier grab and go items for guests focused on saving the universe.
Cons: Limited specialized menu may not suit all tastes.

The Trolley Car Cafe
If you’re the type of traveler who can’t do without a morning stop at Starbucks, you’re in luck. The Trolley Car Café features specialty coffees and teas by Starbucks along side hearty breakfast sandwiches.
Where It’s Located: Hollywood Boulevard

Woody’s Lunchbox
This is hands down probably the most popular quick service breakfast option at Hollywood Studios, and it’s easy to see why. Where else can you pretend to be a toy and eat al fresco in Andy’s backyard? We recommend mobile ordering your barrel bites smothered in gravy or tasty lunch box tart.
Where It’s Located: Toy Story Land
Pros: Tasty food in a fun atmosphere.
Cons: Woody isn’t serving up the most healthy fare from his lunchbox for guests who may be on a limited diet. Seating is also very limited.

Table Service Breakfast Options at Hollywood Studios
If sitting down over a large spread, while a talented wait service attends to your needs, is the only way you want to take your morning meal, you may find Disney Hollywood Studios breakfast options lacking. There is only one table-service restaurant that serves breakfast, but on a positive note, it’s always a good time when you’re dining with Minnie Mouse and friends.
Disney Junior Play n’ Dine – Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine
If you’re in search of Mickey waffles and have some extra time in your day, this is the place to go. You’ll also be treated to a wide variety of dishes from eggs benedicts and omelets to assorted pastries and specialty dishes such as the establishment’s salmon bagel casserole and brioche French toast with banana foster sauce. Best of all, Minnie and her friends will come and visit with you at your table.
Where It’s Located: Echo Lake

Finding a Caffeine Boost at Hollywood Studios
At Disney Hollywood Studios, breakfast is served in a glass with a healthy dose of caffeine at two primary establishments.
Joffrey’s coffee kiosks can be found in 3 locations across the park:
- Joffrey’s Coffee Kiosk at the entrance of Pixar Place near Toy Story Midway Mania!® Attraction
- Joffrey’s Coffee Kiosk outside of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ Attraction
Joffrey’s features typical hot brews and a few specialty items. Lovers of iced drinks won’t find as big of a variety here as you will at Starbucks, but for one member of our family, Joffrey’s iced chai lates here are the best she’s had. Yes, both Dunkin’ and Dutch Bros can step aside.
As previously noted, Starbucks operates a full-service location out of the Trolley Car Café, so guests won’t have to do without their favorite caffeinated drink in the morning. If you aren’t familiar with the Starbucks menu, you can find a wide variety of iced coffees, lates, Americanos, teas and other popular concoctions, as well as a decent breakfast menu.
Insider Tips for Eating Breakfast at Hollywood Studios—Answering Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
With limited breakfast options at Hollywood Studios, breakfast isn’t a meal many people stop to enjoy. Since wait times on rides are lower in the a.m. hours, guests spend their time in queues, opting for a quick bite before leaving their hotel and an early lunch in the park.
If you do plan to enjoy breakfast at Hollywood Studios Park, here are some things you should know:
Do I need an advanced dining reservation to eat breakfast at Hollywood Studios?
Advanced dining reservations (ADRs) are only available for table service restaurants and are highly advisable. The Disney Junior Play n’ Dine Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine is the only table service breakfast option at Hollywood Studios, so it can be popular. The fact that it’s a character meal only increases the appeal. If you plan to dine here, we recommend that you secure an advanced dining reservation. It’s highly likely that walk-up openings will not be available on the day you visit.

Disney sets the standard when it comes to handling special diets and food allergies. If you are looking for vegan or vegetarian options, we recommend you take a look at the menus linked above. You’ll often find an allergy menu on the page or an indication as to whether they offer vegan or vegetarian options. The same holds true for diners with food allergies.

The Disney dining plan was reintroduced in 2024 and allots guests credits for 2 meals per day. With the Disney Quick Service dining plan, guests are offered 2 meals a day at quick service restaurants. Since most quick-service breakfast options at Hollywood studios do accept the Disney Dining plan, you would be able to redeem credits at these locations.
However, you would not be about to use this same plan to dine at Hollywood and Vine. Table service restaurants are only included with the Disney Dining Plan. For more information on Disney’s different dining plans, click here.

What time is breakfast served at Disney Hollywood Studios?
Opening times vary by restaurant and are dependent upon park hours for the day. In general, most restaurants serving breakfast open when the park does. A few establishments may be open during Early Theme Park Entry.
Are There Alternatives to Eating Breakfast in the Park?
Since morning crowds at Hollywood Studios are some of the lightest of the day, many guests opt to spend the hours experiencing attractions while the lines are shorter. If you fall into this camp but still need fuel to get you through until lunch, here are some alternatives to eating breakfast at Disney Hollywood Studios:
- Eat breakfast at your resort before heading over to the park. This calls for an earlier wake-up call, but since most Disney World resorts offer quick-service and grab and go items, you can easily dine before hopping on the bus, boat, monorail or Skyliner.
- If you’ve booked a Disney World Good Neighbor hotel package, many of these establishments include breakfast. Grabbing a few things at the hotel in the morning can save you time and money.
- When traveling to Disney World, we often bring things from home to eat in the morning. Kind Bars, protein shakes, and instant oatmeal are all items that can be eaten in your room before you head out to the parks.
- Door Dash is another option if you don’t mind eating in your room. Deliveries can be made to your hotel lobby from a variety of restaurants in the area.
- If you’ve rented a car and plan to drive to Disney Hollywood Studios, breakfast can be grabbed on your way at McDonalds. The restaurant at 1596 W Beuna Vista Drive is a little beyond the park but makes for an easy excursion if you’re driving.
While the breakfast options at Disney Hollywood Studios may be limited, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy a satisfying morning meal. By planning ahead and exploring alternative options, guests can ensure a delightful start to their day at this iconic theme park.
