After much speculation, the Grinch and Friends Breakfast is finally available to book! Universal Orlando previously released all of its holiday details without mentioning the Grinch breakfast and treservations usually went on sale in early October. The Grinch breakfast kicks off with the holiday season on November 14 and is available until January 3rd. Reservations are extremely popular so you’ll want to book your reservation ASAP!
The Grinch and Friends Breakfast is held inside Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous at Islands of Adventure and includes an exclusive Grinch meet and greet. This is a fantastic way to meet the Grinch. Otherwise, the regular line to meet him is consistently hours long or you would need to book the Universal Holiday Tour (also available to book).
The pricing slightly increased this year – $64.99 for ages 10 and up and $38.99 for children ages 3 – 9. Full payment is due at time of booking and the experience is non-refundable, non-transferrable. Breakfast includes 1 plated entree and 1 non-alcoholic beverage. The menu from 2025 included –
