Due to Disney's last minute schedule changes we usually don't post the itinerary until a few weeks before Pixelmania. What happens is Disney looks at attendance projections and if there is an up tick in attendance numbers then they expand park hours.
That has the potential to alter our plans depending upon what Disney decided to do. For Example if we are at, let's just say California Adventure and we find out that DisneyLAND will be open that night until 2 am we might decide to add an extra side trip over there after California adventure closes at 10 pm. (I'm just using California locations to avoid confusion)
We've found it easier to be flexible and not make premature schedule announcements only to have to change them later. This is done with the knowledge that Disney has the right to really alter their schedule at the last minute.
With the opening of Toy Storyland it remains to be seen what type of hours and limitations Disney is going to put on access to this area. Just when we think we have it all figured out Disney changes up the game on us.
As far as your breakfast reservations are concerned, feel free to make your plans and know that you can join us afterwards on the fly. We communicate using a phone app so that helps to make it easier to find us as we hit the parks. The communication via the phone app is essential because we might discover that a touring plan isn't working as well as we expected and we have to alter our location on the fly.
I think we ran in to this when we were touring the Christmas story tellers one year at Epcot and the schedule wasn't working out in time with the storyteller shows to allow up to catch the voices of liberty. So some of us split and went to Voices of Liberty and some kept up with the Story Teller shows. That's not a perfect example but it helps to illustrate some of the changes that happen on the fly with our group.
I hope that answers your question!

. I was more interested in what time we usually meet up. There’s a few ADR for breakfast I want to check out like Kona Cafe, Grand Floridian, maybe Boma or Beaches & Cream.
