Christmas Day Brunch - where and are we too late to book?

[Winter]

Spending Xmas day at The Magic Kingdom. (Staying at Hilton BV Palace). Is it too late to book brunch (with breakfast foods) for Xmas day and if not where would you recommend? Thinking early into the park then brunch at 11...

The Wave is close by and has ADRs for 4 people at 9:55am currently.

Trails End is a boat ride away and has 10:25 for 4. A bit earlier, Whispering Canyon has 8:35am.

Gosh that is kind of you! Thank you. Never been before so having to learn fast. I’ll look at those now. Thanks again.

I’ve just made a booking for The Wave! This is likely to be our only ADR so thank you for the suggestion 😀

Great choice!

I've not been there for breakfast but we had dinner there in August and it was a real highlight of our trip. The food was every bit as good as our favourite Cali Grill upstairs, if not better, and it's a lovely setting.

If it were a two-credit meal on the Dining Plan, it would not be out of place IMO.

I got 10.45 which was within the breakfast option I selected. They won’t clear breakfast away at 11am will they?!

Now worrying if we leave MK to go here for brunch we won’t her back in! So this may not work after all.

There is a Be Our Guest slot for four, it is a bit early at 7am though but at least you know you are in the park.

We went to the Wave for breakfast in September, reviewed here. The buffet looked nice enough but we decided to go a la carte. It was all a bit average, not somewhere I would go out of my way for again. I probably wouldn’t go and potentially miss getting into MK on Christmas Day (assume you are offsite, it would take a lot for onsite guests to not get in).

If you’re wanting to spend the day in MK, I wouldn’t be leaving the park mid morning. Theres every chance you wouldn’t get back in.

I’d look at what’s available within the park itself. The Plaza May well still have availability

Thank you. I’ll track the in-park restaurants like a hawk and see if I can pick up a cancellation! I’ll hold on to the other one until then.

We are staying at Hilton Buena Vista Palace. Does that count as “on-site” for purposes of getting priority entry if park gets full?
