    Walt Disney World Watercraft Marina & Drydock

    Walk to the Walt Disney World Watercraft Marina & Drydock. The facility is private and not open to the public, but the perimeter allows you to stand by the water's edge. Arrive with enough time to settle in and watch the sky lighten over Bay Lake as the sun rises toward the WSW.

  2. 07:49

    Kona Café

    Head to Kona Café for breakfast. It opens at 07:30, which aligns perfectly with the post-sunrise timing on January 15th. Enjoy traditional American fare fused with Asian flavors, such as the coconut almond chicken or teriyaki-style strip steak, in a relaxed setting before the day gets busy.

  3. 08:34

    'Ohana

    Finish your morning at 'Ohana nearby. This Polynesian restaurant offers a lively family-style breakfast experience. If you prefer a quicker bite, Capt. Cook's is open 24 hours and just a short walk away, but 'Ohana provides a more complete start to the day with its famous Tonga Toast and character interactions.

Local tip

Check the park hours for the specific date, as Magic Kingdom opening times vary. The marina area is quietest in the early morning.
