Top 10 Best Brunch Spots in Walt Disney World for Great Food and Drinks

Brunch, the beloved weekend ritual, is elevated to an art form at Walt Disney World. Most of our favorite restaurants to enjoy brunch are located at Disney Springs and several Walt Disney World resorts. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal or a sweet treat, there are so many great brunch spots at Walt Disney World that you should consider on your next trip.

In this article we will go over our top 10 brunch spots at Disney World. Our top recommendations for brunch are located at Disney Springs, which is a huge shopping and dining district near Disney World. Guests can use Disney's transportation system to take a bus from any Walt Disney World park or Disney resort to and from Disney Springs for free! Disney Springs also offers free surface level and garage parking for guests wanting to drive themselves. Our other favorite brunches take place at several different Walt Disney World resorts located throughout Walt Disney World property.

Due to the popularity of brunch and these restaurants, we highly recommend making a reservation (up to 60 days in advance) in order to secure a table. This is especially important for dining reservations at some of the Disney World resorts if you plan on driving, as oftentimes you cannot park at the resort unless you have a room or dining reservation. Guests can make dining reservations on the My Disney Experience website or mobile app.

Here is our list of the top 10 brunch spots at Walt Disney World!

1. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'
