Why You Should Consider a Hotel With Free Breakfast Near Disneyland
As we emphasize in our Disneyland morning strategy, you want to arrive early to be at the parks for rope drop and make full use of the morning hours at Disneyland, enjoying dramatically shorter wait times for popular attractions. You don't want to be using this morning time to sit down for breakfast, so eating at your hotel ahead of time or grabbing something to-go to eat as you're waiting to be let into the turnstiles is the best way to save time. It will also help you save money for only the best food at Disneyland. (You can also see the best breakfast options at Disneyland if you decide to wait and eat in the parks.)
The hotels with free breakfast near Disneyland have a variety of options that are typically offered in a buffet-style format. Standard options include cold items like cereal, pastries, and fruits as well as hot items like waffles, eggs, and sausages and breakfast beverages like coffee and orange juice.
Some hotels offer a free hot breakfast buffet, while others offer free breakfast only for kids under a certain age or free breakfast as an exclusive perk for Get Away Today guests.

Top Picks for Hotels With Free Breakfast Near Disneyland
While there are many hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast, we will narrow down our top picks based on proximity to the park, amenities, and the quality of the breakfast. For these hotel breakfasts, we always recommend arriving as early as possible to avoid the morning rush.
Element by Westin Anaheim Resort Convention Center
One of our top picks for hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast is the Element by Westin Anaheim Resort Convention Center. This is a newer hotel located within walking distance of Disneyland and has spacious rooms (with options for bunk beds in rooms and kitchenettes in every room), free WiFi, and more.
One of the highlights of the Element by Westin is the impressive daily breakfast buffet offered, which is one of the best we've experienced at any Disneyland hotel. The menu rotates daily with choices like a breakfast taco bar, waffles, pancakes, french toast, biscuits and gravy, and crepes. There are also standard breakfast options offered like bacon, potatoes, eggs, cereal, bagels, muffins, toast, and fruit, as well as beverages like orange and apple juice, coffee, almond milk, etc. available. We also saw that the staff was very diligent about keeping everything clean and restocking the breakfast foods.
While the walk is a little bit further than other hotels, if you're looking for the most impressive complimentary breakfast, Element by Westin is the choice to go with. You can see our full review of the Element by Westin for everything you need to know!

Best Western PLUS Park Place Inn & Mini-Suites
One of our favorite hotels with free breakfast is Best Western PLUS Park Place Inn & Mini Suites, which is located within easy walking distance of Disneyland right across the street from the entrance to the resort. The convenience of being only minutes away from Disneyland, combined with the hotel's clean rooms and comfortable bedding, reasonable pricing, features like express check-out, and free buffet-style continental breakfast daily, make it an excellent option.
During our experience here, the buffet featured a selection of hot and cold items, including scrambled eggs, egg white patties, sausage patties, pancakes, waffles, chocolate muffins, blueberry muffins, donuts, pastries, and fruit, as well as bagels, toast, and different types of cereal.
The free continental breakfast, together with the hotel's extremely close proximity to Disneyland, make it one of our top recommendations. We consider this to be one of the best hotels near Disneyland! This is an especially great option that allows you to save time in the mornings if you are planning to be there for rope drop. See our full thoughts on our experience here in our review of Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Mini-Suites.

Cambria Hotel & Suites
Cambria Hotel & Suites is an affordable hotel option with several amenities like a 30,000 square foot waterpark for kids, on-site restaurants, and fun outdoor activities like a basketball court, ping pong table, and mini golf hole. While it is a little bit of a walk to Disneyland (at about a 20-minute walk), you can easily take the ART Shuttle or get an Uber/Lyft to and from the parks. This hotel is also one of the hotels near Disneyland with a hot tub.
At Cambria Hotel & Suites, the free hot breakfast includes options like egg and breakfast meat stations, waffles, pancakes, fresh juices, hot coffee, and seasonal specials. One thing to note about the free breakfast at Cambria Hotel & Suites is in our experience (as for many hotel breakfasts), it was usually crowded, with lines for the hot food items and waffle maker. However, even if you are in a rush, you can still grab quick options like pastries, fruit, cereal, etc. to eat.

Best Western PLUS Pavilions
Best Western Plus Pavilions is a budget-friendly hotel option near Disneyland that includes clean and comfortable accommodations, fast complimentary Wifi, and a complimentary breakfast. This is a particularly good choice if you are prioritizing your time in the parks and would like an affordable family-friendly option to sleep and recharge for your next Disneyland day.
The hotel offers a couple of options for breakfast, including free grab-and-go breakfast options like granola bars, Danish, etc. They also will provide a free breakfast voucher for 2 that guests can use for the Denny's next door. See what the breakfast voucher included from our previous stay here below:
Both of these breakfast options have advantages, as the grab-and-go breakfast is ideal to enjoy while waiting to be let into the turnstiles for morning rope drop at the parks and save time, while the Denny's breakfast is an especially good option to consider if you know you or your kids will find the selection of hot restaurant food here more appealing than what is typically offered at a hotel breakfast buffet.

Best Western PLUS Stovall's Inn
Best Western PLUS Stovall's Inn is a budget-friendly hotel that is about a 15-minute walk to Disneyland through the Downtown Disney security entrance. The hotel offers a pool area, friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable accommodations, and a free continental breakfast.
The breakfast will offer a choice of breads, cereal, fruit, hot eggs, hot breakfast meat, and other hot items, as well as yogurt, juice, and coffee. During our stay at Best Western PLUS Stovall's Inn, some of the hot items featured at the breakfast included sausage and breakfast potatoes.

Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort Convention Center
Hyatt House at the Anaheim Resort Convention Center is located within easy walking distance of Disneyland and offers spacious rooms, complimentary WiFi, an outdoor swimming pool, and more. At the Hyatt House, guests can also enjoy a complimentary breakfast before heading to the parks.
Hyatt House offers a free breakfast with both hot and cold food items like scrambled eggs, sausage links, hash browns, waffles, steel cut oatmeal, fresh fruit, granola, and yogurt. This hotel is an appealing option due to its variety of breakfast options and close proximity to the parks (at about a 10-minute walk). You can easily grab a quick bite to eat and be at the gates in time for rope drop without worrying about a long walk or having to take a shuttle.

Clarion Hotel
This budget-friendly option is within walking distance of Disneyland (or accessible via the ART Shuttle or Toy Story Parking Lot shuttles) offering clean rooms with comfortable beds as well as amenities like a pool, complimentary fast WiFi, arcade, fridge in-room for convenient storage of leftovers, and more.
At the Clarion Hotel, The Palm Tree Cafe serves breakfast and lunch with discounts exclusive to Get Away Today guests, and kids nine years old and under eat free with each paying adult during breakfast. In our experience at the Clarion Hotel, the breakfast buffet was stocked with eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, pastries, a variety of cereal, bananas, hash browns, yogurt, and a waffle maker with different choices of waffles available.
While this free breakfast perk is just for kids 9 and under, there is a great selection of options to fuel up for a big day at the parks. You can see our review of the Clarion Hotel for everything you need to know!
