Advice - Should I make breakfast reservations for every morning now or wing it?

[little miss vinyl]

OK, I am looking for a little advice. In about a month we'll be on vacation at WDW. Unlike previous trips where we stayed at a resort with a food court, we'll be staying at the Yacht Club which only has sit down restaurants. Should I make our breakfast reservations now or wing it when we get there each day? Also, how long of wait do guests normally have to wait to be seated? I'm realizing now that we may lose time waiting to eat each day. But also, we're not used to eating at a scheduled time for breakfast -- we'd get food when the kids woke up in the past.

Any thoughts, I'd appreciate.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Cape May Cafe Character breakfast right there at the Yacht/Beach Club. Also if you want something quick like bagels, coffee, Danish, etc the Boardwalk bakery is a short walk across the bridge in the morning. I think if I recall though on our one day stay in May at the Beach Club the gift shop actually had bagels and cereal and such so you might do ok in there for something quick in the morning.

I wouldn't make reservations every day for breakfast as this will suck up a lot of your time unless you make them for really early and in each park you're visitng that morning. We do enjoy Chef Mickey's for breakfast only once every trip though. It's a must for JT and his Mickey Waffles and breakfast buffet .

The lack of Quick Service at both The Boardwalk and Beach/Yacht Club is only of the only draw backs staying there

We usually eat breakfast at a table sevice restaurant once or twice during a week.

We are dvc now, so we take bagels and cream cheese because the rooms have a toaster and fridge. Plus, it is quicker than going out.

Before we were dvc, we took down something to eat, usually packaged muffins or breakfast bars and diet mountain dew. Itmisnjust so. It is much easier to get to the parks quickly that way.

There are a lot of ways to approach this one but we almost never do table service for breakfast. We're not big breakfast eaters at home and we feel like it takes up too much park time to have a full sit down breakfast. Instead, we always pack a box of FiberOne bars and a box of PopTarts so that we have something fast, portable, and inexpensvie to eat for breakfast each morning. It gives us more time in the parks and we have more money to devote to nice lunches or dinners.

We already have 2 character breakfasts booked: Akerhaus (daughter needs to see her princesses ) b/f EPCOT opens and Ohana's - kids love Lilo and Stitch, plus, this brings be back to my childhood (well, back in the day it was Minnie's Luau Breakfast)

If we had a kitchen I would def. get cereal and milk in the room, but we're not dvc, yet and we are staying in a standard room. We decided to do a deluxe resort since family wanted to come for part of our trip and we knew they wouldn't do breakfast food courts.

Do you know if the gift shops carry yogurt? We have our car and will stop at Publix on the way into property. I just started thinking about how much time it takes to eat breakfast and I wasn't sure if they take walk ups, since other restaurants do not for lunch or dinner b/c of being booked. Plus our more recent experience has been food court breakfasts.

Hubby is not a big breakfast person. but myself and our children are breakfast eaters -- our son, doesn't do well with change of routine (he has Asperger's) so if we try to give him a pop tart or pastry at the Boardwalk Bakery, later that day he'll melt down b/c he "didn't have breakfast" - part of his meals involve him eating at a table. We tried this one or two other times and it almost always backfires. (The only time that type of fast paced eating was successful, was when my hubby took him when the STudios opened, so he could sign up to be part of Jedi Training Academy. And then they sat down at a quick serve for breakfast, b/c the granola bar wasn't breakfast).

And then there's the food allergy members of the family ... which means that all quick service locations can be very limiting for food choices.
