Heading off the Disney Theme Parks early? Need a Quick Breakfast?
Many touring plans recommend getting to the park gates in time for the morning rope drop, this way you get in the big ticket rides while the parks are relatively empty.
To do this means getting a move on early, and no time for a sit down breakfast.
Shades of Green’s Express Café is conveniently located right on the way to the theme park bus loading area. You can grab a to-go breakfast right on your way!
For breakfast the Express Café carries breakfast bagels and croissants, pastries, pancakes, cereal, fruit, and yogurt. Coffee, cappuccino, and latte are available as well as other drinks. Their prices are very reasonable so you can save for the more expensive food in the Disney theme parks.
Please note: Shades buses do not allow you to eat onboard. Your food needs to be finished before you board, or stored away until you reach your destination.
So grab yourself a breakfast sandwich and coffee and head out to visit Mickey.
Lunch items, beer and wine are also available

An important thing to note is that the Shades buses do not allow eating. Your food needs to be eaten before you board, or stored away until you reach your destination.
We were scarfing down food before the bus took off. Not a relaxed start to our day!
Hi Katie,
Great tip! I’ve added it to the post.
Thanks! Steve
