Mickey waffles. You know ’em. You love ’em. You could eat a million of ’em on vacation for breakfast (and any other time you can find them). But now the critical question arrives — can you get Mickey waffles for breakfast…in SPACE?!

The Star Wars hotel is a majorly hot topic right now, and we’re bringing you tons of information about this spot ahead of its official opening so that you can know if it’s really worth that BIG price tag. And since we’re the Disney Food Blog, we’re putting a big emphasis on the food at this new hotel (of course! Vacations are for eating, am I right?!)! From bubble waffle grilled cheese to blue shrimp, we’re trying it all and giving you the lowdown. Right now, let’s take a look at what the most important meal of the day looks like in SPACE! 

You’ve arrived at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, been greeted by the Captain, and enjoyed your first night’s rest on board the Halcyon (that’s the name of the ship you’re on, btw). Now you’re up and ready to take on your first full day of this experience. First, you need some fuel! Breakfast is a buffet-style affair that takes place in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room on Level 4 of the hotel — er, ship.

Atmosphere

The Crown of Corellia is the main dining room at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. This is where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all happening on each day of your visit (unless, of course, you choose to have lunch in Galaxy’s Edge during your excursion to Batuu).

Breakfast is available from 7AM to 11AM on Day 2 and 7AM to 10AM on Day 3. You can go to get food whenever you want it during that time. In our experience, we didn’t have an issue with the room or buffet line being too crowded because people ate pretty quickly. There’s a lot to see and do in this hotel, so not many guests spent a long time on breakfast!

The large, futuristic room has tables and chairs as well as booths available.

The lighting comes from sconces around the room and a few large chandeliers in the middle of the ceiling. These aren’t your typical chandeliers, though. They look very high-tech, with concentric circles culminating in bright, colorful lights.

The seating is tub-style chairs with a dark blue fabric and some futuristic gold accent designs. The booths are made of blue vinyl material with a blue velvety material on the backs.

In a smaller room off of the main dining area, you’ll see the buffet lines…

…as well as a station for beverages.

Everything looks very sleek and dare we say space-ish in this area! Now let’s get into the food!

Eats

The price for your stay at the Star Wars hotel includes most of your food and drinks as well (with certain food items and alcoholic beverages available as add-ons). There are a few breakfast cocktails, specialty drinks, wines, beers, and mocktails available in the morning. These all would cost extra if you’d like to try them.

Included in the buffet for drinks are various soft drinks…

…and blue and green milk. Yes, we were VERY excited about the unlimited blue and green milk here!

On Day 3, there was also a juice bar.

You could get Orange Juice…

…Grapefruit Juice…

…Cranberry Juice…

…or Apple Juice.

We mentioned before that breakfast is a buffet, so let’s walk down and see what’s available for this meal. First, you’ll grab a tray. The food items are in smaller dishes, which you can fit together on your tray. This system kind of reminded us of the game Tetris actually. Food Tetris? We’re in.

The buffet is a little different on Days 2 and 3, but some dishes were available both days.

Day 2

Since you arrive in the afternoon, there is no breakfast on Day 1. But beginning on Day 2, there are lots of options for this meal!

Starting out, the breakfast buffet has a Compressed Fruit Plate. The fruit bites were vacuum sealed with simple syrup to give them a little more sweetness, although they still weren’t too sweet for our taste. The vacuum sealing gave the fruit a slightly translucent look. We especially loved the dragon fruit on top.

There’s a Pastry Board with a few different pastries, including a blueberry muffin (the purple one), a croissant with fruit jelly on top, and a sweet bun (the green-ish one). The blue spiral is blue milk butter, which tasted like slightly sweet butter (we didn’t really taste a blue milk flavor in it), and it’s topped with a strawberry jelly square.

You can also grab some Palmfruit Yogurt Acai Sweet Creamfreeze, which is topped with quinoa granola and yuzu jelly. (In case you haven’t had yuzu before, it’s a citrusy fruit that’s kind of like a mix between a lemon and a lime.) This is a great light option if you’re looking for a break from the heavier foods on this buffet. It’s basically a normal, unflavored Greek yogurt with a slightly citrus flavor. So it’s not really anything special, but we’re also not mad about it!

Disney must have been prepared for all of the Star Wars-loving Millennials coming to the hotel because Avocado Toast is one of the items on the menu here! It’s actually called Green Pearberry Toast, but it’s basically the same thing. The bread used for this dish is Whole-Grain Toast.

Turns out, that’s a trendy breakfast in space as well. We enjoyed this dish, and we thought the avocado tasted creamy and fresh. We also thought the extra additions on top (maybe fruit?) added a great, sweet contrast to the avocado. Our only complaint is that we wish the bread had been toasted more because it tended to bend under the weight of the toppings. In our opinion, this was the best of the plant-based options.

You won’t find any Mickey waffles in this buffet, but there are some Star Wars waffles! The miniature waffles had the symbol of the Chandrila Star Line on them. These tasted just like those classic Mickey waffles you know and love. They’re malty, pillowy, soft, and delicious. If you’ve ever had other character waffles in Disney World (like the Stitch or Lightning McQueen waffles), these are basically the same thing, but with the Chandrila logo on them instead of a character.

You can also get some Maple Syrup to go with your waffles.

You can get more traditional breakfast items like eggs and sausage as well, which still had a fun twist for your space adventure. This is a great option for picky eaters or little kids.

The eggs were Rolled Omelets, and these (along with Roasted Sausage) came along with the waffles. The egg was somehow flattened and then rolled up into a spiral with a lot of cheese. So they’re presented in a fancy way, but they’re essentially normal eggs.

Both of these tasted very similar to the eggs and sausage that you’ll find on the breakfast Ronto Wraps in Galaxy’s Edge. We’re big fans of those wraps, so we really enjoyed this play on classic breakfast. The sausage had a lot of flavor, and the skin on the outside was crackly and very tasty.

For plant-based eaters, there is Kale Porridge, which is served with “Sausage” Gravy (which is actually mushroom gravy) and “Egg” Worms. We usually don’t love fake eggs, and this situation was no different. The “eggs” had a strange texture to them, although they might be fine if you enjoy plant-based eggs! The Kale Porridge also had a strange consistency, and it was too mushy for us (and the green color probably didn’t help). So plant-based eaters may enjoy this if they’re looking for a savory option and don’t mind the fake eggs, but it certainly wasn’t the best thing we ate during this meal.

One of the most unusual-looking items on this buffet was the Whipped Eggs, which are topped with a Spiced Batuu White-Sauce. We’re not going to lie, these kind of reminded us of egg white-flavored jello, which is not a super appetizing thought. And like we expected, the flavor and texture of this dish weren’t our favorite.

The egg part tasted like you went to McDonald’s and took off the egg layer of the breakfast sandwich and ate just that. It had a little bit of spice but not very much. Overall, we didn’t love this dish.

Finally, you can get the Crispy Tuber Waffle, which is kind of like a giant hashbrown that has been shaped into a waffle. It’s topped with a Chedd-cheese Egg Bite, Applefruit, Bacon, and an Herbed Egg-butter Sauce.

Y’all. We saved the best for last. This was our favorite thing on the entire buffet. The hashbrown was perfectly cooked, and the egg was super cheesy (you know we love our cheese). The bacon flower on top was a little bit sweet because it was apple-smoked.

It was served with a cheesy, herby, buttery sauce that reminded us a little of a hollandaise sauce. All of the flavors worked well together in a classic but elevated way.

Grab-and-Go Breakfast

If you’re hoping to hop right on the transport to Batuu on Day 2 and don’t have time for a full breakfast buffet, you can opt for the Grab-and-Go breakfast instead.

These to-go boxes can be found in the Sublight Lounge.

They contain a few pastries (like the ones found on the buffet), a serving of Palmfruit Yogurt, and some whole fruit options.

We spotted bananas…

…and mandarin oranges here.

You can also grab drinks at this spot, such as Orange Juice…

…Coffee (black and decaf)…

…and various teas. Hot water is also provided for the tea.

And if you need any condiments for your coffee or tea, you can get those here as well! There were sugars, honey, lemon slices, and milk.

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck in terms of breakfasts, we would definitely recommend making time for the buffet. There were some interesting options, and we really enjoyed the waffles especially! But it’s nice to have the grab-and-go available in case your plans don’t allow for a full breakfast on Day 2. Note that this breakfast buffet is also available on Day 3, so you can still visit even if you don’t make it the first time around.

Day 3

The breakfast buffet on Day 3 was similar to Day 2, but it had some different dishes. The items that stayed the same were the Chandrilan Waffles…

…the Waffles with Rolled Omelets and Roasted Sausage…

…the Pastry Board…

…the Palm Fruit Yogurt…

…and the Compressed Fruit Plate.

But there were still some new dishes for this buffet. The first was a breakfast flatbread called the Breakfast Meat Pie. This is essentially a breakfast pizza with cheese, sausage, and bacon.

The crust was thick but still crispy on the outside, and we thought all of the flavors worked well in this dish. It’s a good choice for a less-adventurous eater. The chefs told us that there is actually a wood-fired oven on the ship, which is why the pizzas all taste so good at this hotel.

The Crispy Tuber Waffle was basically a large, crispy waffle fry. It came with a Cheddar Egg Bite and Apple Fruit Bacon. The egg bite was covered in an herb-egg-butter sauce, which was kind of like hollandaise sauce and tasted delicious.

And the bacon was applewood-smoked and twisted together to form a lattice, which made it a little more unique than just normal bacon.

The plant-based option on Day 3 was the Spiced Bobotie with Red Fruit Jam. The red fruit jam was tomato jam. (There were a lot of tomato dishes on the Starcruiser, and we thought most of them worked really well.)

The “egg” in this dish had the same problem as the plant-based dish on Day 2, which was that the texture was very strange to someone who is not used to fake eggs. We enjoyed the tomato jam, but we probably wouldn’t get the bobotie again.

And now we come to one of the best things we ate during our entire stay: the Meteor Egg! This was basically a Scotch egg, so it was soft-boiled and covered in sausage. There was also a layer of cake batter around the entire thing, and it was served with Turmeric Aïoli.

Our party was actually divided on this dish — some people loved it and others weren’t as into it. But if you enjoy good Scotch eggs, we think you’ll love this.

The sausage was herby and very well cooked, but the fried cake batter around the whole thing was the real star. It was flaky and crispy, and it reminded us of a cross between corn dog batter and a funnel cake.

Nosh or Not

Try out the more adventurous eats at the buffet if you:

• Are looking for some unique options for breakfast. The Whipped Eggs and Kale Porridge were both unusual dishes, but they were also very pretty and looked like fun “space” food. If you want some great food for your Instagram feed, this is going to be the best place to get it.
• Have a lot of time in the morning. If you’re not rushing to your Batuu excursion (AKA to Galaxy’s Edge) first thing in the morning, you should come down to the buffet. You can get almost everything that’s in the to-go boxes at the buffet as well (except for the whole fruit), and there are a lot more options there.
• Love classic breakfast foods. There were some strange offerings for sure, but you don’t have to be into the unusual flavors and textures in order to enjoy a meal here. The waffles were delicious, and the sausage and eggs were very familiar as well. The yogurt is another good option if you want a safe choice.

Stick to the to-go boxes (or bring our own breakfast) if you:

• Are heading straight to Batuu ASAP. Having these available as a time-saver is great for a quick snack before you head into Hollywood Studios.
• Are a very picky eater who doesn’t want to step out of your comfort zone. We mentioned before that the waffles, eggs, sausage, and yogurt are pretty safe options, but if you aren’t comfortable with any kind of changes to the basic breakfast foods, you may want to pack some granola bars in your luggage.
• Want to sleep in or go do other activities instead of eating a large breakfast. Breakfast is open until 11AM on Day 2, but you may want to use the morning time to explore the ship and do other activities. And if you’re going to sleep in, it might be a better use of your time to get a quick breakfast and then go participate in more events at the hotel!

Overall

In general, we thought the breakfast at the Star Wars hotel was pretty good! We love that there are some options for everyone, so you can be as adventurous as you’d like to be. The Whipped Eggs were not high on our favorites list, but those Waffles, Crispy Tuber Waffles, and Meteor Eggs were all pretty good.

We’re glad we took the time to visit the Breakfast Buffet, and we would recommend it to anyone staying at this hotel in the future. Compared with other breakfast buffets in Disney World, this one definitely has some more unique options than you’ll find at Chef Mickey’s or even Tusker House.

It’s fun to try out the different flavor combinations and textures, but we probably wouldn’t choose the meal itself over a trip to Topolino’s Terrace or ‘Ohana, given the options. The quality of the food was good, but the flavors didn’t blow us away.
