One of the best ways to kick off any day at the Walt Disney World Resort is by indulging in a filling and delicious breakfast, and while there are plenty of great options to choose from, a cinnamon roll is always a great idea. These doughy treats are warm, flaky, smothered with cinnamon sugar and frosting, and good to the very last bite.
There are several locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort that feature cinnamon rolls on their menu, and each one is slightly different and unique, making them the perfect breakfast item or even snack throughout the day. Here are the very best cinnamon rolls to indulge in while at the Walt Disney World Resort and where to find them!

Gaston’s Tavern – Warm Cinnamon Roll
The first cinnamon roll at the Walt Disney World Resort that comes to mind for many Guests can be found at Gaston’s Tavern in the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland. This quick-service location brings the hangout of the Disney villain to life with a rustic interior filled with leather, antlers, and, of course, a massive painting of Gaston himself.
Guests who stop by Gaston’s Tavern at any point throughout the day can indulge in a Warm Cinnamon Roll which is absolutely large enough to share, but no one will want to. The Warm Cinnamon Roll is a massive portion of a perfectly doughy roll with ribbons of cinnamon sugar inside and the top is drizzled with gooey icing. The best pro-tip for enjoying a Warm Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern is asking for an additional side of icing for dipping and drizzling!
