Image courtesy Disney Parks Blog As of today (March 20, 2015), Disney offers breakfast service at Be Our Guest restaurant.  It will be offered in a test capacity through to June 18 2015. Breakfast will begin at 8:00 AM through to 10:00 AM, and will be quick service prix fixe at $19.99 plus tax for adults, and $11.99 plus tax for ages 3 - 9. Each breakfast begins with a pastry basket for sharing, and then a choice of entree and self service beverage. Image courtesy Disney Parks Blog Breakfast at Be Our Guest will be on the Disney Dining Plan with 1 quick service credit, and just like lunch, it will require a reservation even though it is a quick service offering. Walks up will be offered if space is available, which is very unlikely. Unlike lunch, pre-ordering of menu items will not be available, and selections will be made inside the restaurant. Reservations began on March 17 using My Disney Experience for dates from March 20 through to June 18 2015.
