We will have to is better. It needs a future tense because that is what you will have to do the following morning. And you would abbreviate: �We�ll have to...� |

But "have to" isn �t wrong,, since the obligation already exists. In addition, "will have to" isn �t one of the options.

I agree with Cunliffe. �Will have to � sounds better to me as there is reference to the following morning. |

I agree with Bruce - �have to � can be used to specify necessity. In this case it is necessary to make the lunch in the morning. |

I agree with Cunliffe "will have to" as it is specifying necessity in the future - tomorrow morning. |

I would have to agree with Bruce here since "will have to" isn �t an option. |

Whether it �s an option or not, it �s right.
Sorry, but the natural utterance uses �will�. |
