**Things are constantly changing at Walt Disney World, especially since the reopening. I will keep you updated as far as what restaurants are currently open and serving breakfast.
Quick-Service Breakfast in EPCOT

1. Sunshine Seasons
Sunshine Seasons is a quick-service, food court-style restaurant located in The Land Pavillion next to Soarin’ and Living with the Land.
If you are heading to Soarin’ first thing in the morning, this is a great stop to grab breakfast.
They have many choices including a hot breakfast platter with French Toast, eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Other options include oatmeal, cereal, a breakfast croissant sandwich, and a bagel with cream cheese.
Your kids will love the kid breakfast platter, which includes scrambled eggs, bacon, and cinnamon French Toast with a drink.
There are a wide variety of caffeinated beverages including coffee, hot tea, espresso, cappuccino, iced lattes, and iced coffee. Fountain drinks, orange juice, apple juice, white milk, chocolate milk, and hot chocolate are also available.
Fun Fact: What’s so cool about Sunshine Seasons and Garden Grill Restaurant is that the produce and seafood cooked here are grown at the greenhouses located right here in The Land Pavilion. Jump on the Living with the Land boat ride after eating breakfast to learn all about what Disney grows here at EPCOT.
PRO-TIP: Ride Soarin’ first before eating breakfast at Sunshine Seasons. The wait for Soarin’ will get much longer as the morning progresses.

Breakfast in EPCOT Resort Area
There are some great breakfast options in the EPCOT Resort Area. They are very convenient for those staying at one of the EPCOT Resorts. However, if you are not staying at an EPCOT Resort, you can still eat breakfast at one of these resorts and take advantage of its close proximity and prime location to the EPCOT International Gateway.
For those that do not know, the EPCOT International Gateway is the “other” entrance/exit to EPCOT. It’s also the access point for the Disney Skyliner.
Entering the park at the International Gateway lands you between the France and United Kingdom Pavilions, a perfect landing spot for those wanting to head first to the most popular ride at the park, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in France.
If you’d like to eat breakfast at an EPCOT Resort you have a couple of options. You could eat before entering the park or you could eat a later breakfast after entering the park.
If you’d like to eat before entering the park, grab an Uber or Disney transportation to drop you off at one of these Resorts/restaurants.

BoardWalk Deli located on Disney’s Boardwalk is a great quick service option if you are staying in one of the EPCOT Resorts.
They have delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also offer an assortment of pastries and bakery items including croissants, muffins, banana bread, bagels, danishes, and a giant Mickey cinnamon roll!

Trattoria al Forno was the site of the Bon Voyage Character Breakfast. Since the park reopened, the character dining has been unavailable. Characters seen here included your favorite characters from Tangled and Little Mermaid including Ariel, Prince Eric, Rapunzel, and Flynn Rider.
