New Breakfast Offerings Coming to Magic Kingdom Park

 

A few new quick-service breakfast offerings will be making their debut at Magic Kingdom Park in the coming weeks.

 

Casey’s Corner will be serving muffins, bagels and a croissant donut, or if you prefer a brunch-like option you can opt for the corn dog nuggets and the hash brown dog.

 

Just across the street on Main Street USA, Plaza Ice Cream Parlor will begin serving Mickey waffles, Kelloggs cereal and donuts. For a sweet twist on breakfast, try the donut sundae, a donut topped with your favorite flavor of hand-scooped Edy’s ice cream, hot fudge, apple, whipped cream, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips and of course, a cherry.
Sleepy Hollow will not only have their famous waffles, made fresh to order (and maybe I overload it with strawberries, maybe not :)....they will now add a new egg, ham and tomato waffle sandwich to the lineup.
Of course, the fruit and chocolate-hazelnut waffle sandwich isn't going anywhere! #delish

Additional Disney FASTPASS Locations and New Disney MaxPass Coming to Disneyland Resort

Disney FASTPASS is one of the best ways for your family to make the most of your time at Disney Parks.
This landmark innovation was first introduced at Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort in 1999 as a way to provide Guests with faster access to the fun. Over the years, Disney FASTPASS has evolved and expanded and is used at our theme parks differently, based on the unique ways our Guests enjoy our sites around the world.

Today, we're excited to announce further expansion of Disney FASTPASS coming to two of our most popular attractions — Toy Story Mania in Disney California Adventure® Park and Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland Park! When Disney FASTPASS first launched at Disneyland Resort it was available at four locations, and over the years the number has expanded to a total of 16 attractions with these two new additions.

Later this year, we will launch Disney MaxPass, which will allow Guests to maximize their experience by providing unlimited downloads of their high-resolution PhotoPass images and by enabling the convenience of mobile booking and redemption of Disney FASTPASS return times – all by using the Disneyland App. Disney MaxPass will be available for an introductory price of $10 per person per day. Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders also will have the opportunity to purchase Disney MaxPass on a daily or yearly basis.
You will continue to have the option of Disney FASTPASS service at no cost by obtaining FASTPASSES at attraction FASTPASS kiosks, just as you do today.
The addition of these two new Disney FASTPASS locations and the introduction of Disney MaxPass is part of our ongoing commitment to providing Guests with opportunities to customize their experiences and make it even easier than ever to create unforgettable memories.
