7 Best Character Breakfasts at Walt Disney World 

Character breakfasts are a fun way to meet many characters at once while enjoying a delicious meal. Instead of standing in line to meet your favorite characters at the parks, they come right to your table to sign autographs and take pictures. There are dozens of character meals available at Walt Disney World inside the four theme parks and at various resorts around the WDW property. Here’s our list of the top character breakfasts at Walt Disney World in 2024. 

7. Cape May Cafe —Disney’s Beach Club Resort 

This character breakfast is a hidden gem at the Beach Club side of Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort. Join Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Daisy as they prepare for a day at the beach at Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast. The characters are decked out in retro beachwear while you dine on a traditional American breakfast buffet. This small restaurant allows the characters to spend plenty of time with you, and reservations are easier to get than other character breakfasts. The breakfast menu features breakfast buffet staples like Mickey waffles, egg dishes, pancakes, french toast, and an omelet and carving station. Don’t forget to try their famous salted caramel “beach buns,” which are brought to your table when you’re seated. 

6. Tusker House—Disney’s Animal Kingdom 

Tusker House is home to the only character dining at Animal Kingdom. During this safari-themed adventure, adventure-clad Donald Duck hosts friends Mickey and Goofy at an African marketplace. The breakfast buffet features traditional American favorites and African flavors like Safari bread, Zebra coffee cake, and Simba waffles. 

5. ‘Ohana Best Friends Breakfast — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort 

This restaurant is all about family. Breakfast selections are served on huge family-style platters with Mickey waffles, bacon, ham and pineapple, eggs, and more. You’ll be visited by Lilo, Stitch, and friends like Mickey and Pluto. The Hawaiian-themed restaurant also offers beautiful views of Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom. 

4. Hollywood & Vine— Hollywood Studios 

Hollywood and Vine is the only place on Disney property where you can dine with Disney Junior characters. During the Disney Junior Play n’ Dine breakfast, your little one will enjoy visits from Disney Junior stars like Doc McStuffins, Roadster Racer Goofy, Fancy Nancy, and Vamprinia. The breakfast buffet is traditional American fare with omelet stations, Mickey waffles, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, pastries, and even a breakfast taco station. It’s a great way to start your day if you’re visiting Hollywood studios with preschoolers. 

There is a separate character dining experience at Hollywood & Vine for lunch and dinner. The lunch and dinner buffet features interactions with Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Daisy with theming that changes every season. 

3. Chef Mickey’s—Disney’s Contemporary Resort 

Chef Mickey’s is one of the most popular and well-known character breakfasts at WDW. Located on the main floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, this open-air feeling restaurant offers floor-to-ceiling views of Bay Lake, Seven Seas Lagoon, and the Magic Kingdom resort area. For an extra treat, you’ll see the monorail zoom above your head as you dine. You’ll greet the Fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto) in chef’s attire. This is another staple WDW breakfast buffet that features classic American breakfast dishes (and, of course, Mickey waffles). The Magic Kingdom is only a short monorail ride away, so this is a great dining location to enjoy before a day at the park. Plus, you’ll save time on character meet and greets once in the park since you already met them at breakfast! 

Chef Mickey’s is also available for dinner reservations. 

2. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall —EPCOT

Tucked into the Norway Pavilion, Akershus provides enchanted princess dining for breakfast and dinner. Akershus offers a suitable alternative to the princess dining available at Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom and generally has more reservation availability. Princesses that may stop by include Belle, Jasmine, Tiana, Snow White, Aurora, and Ariel. Breakfast options are much more kid-friendly than the traditional Norwegian feast available at lunch and dinner. The menu includes breakfast pastries, potato casseroles, bacon, sausage, and Norwegian-style waffles. 

1. Topolino’s Terrace – Disney’s Riviera Resort 

Breakfast á la Art is our favorite character breakfast at the parks! This character dining experience is also a favorite with many of our clients, which makes it our top pick. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy are dressed in stunning outfits that pay tribute to European artists like painters, poets, and dancers. The restaurant’s rooftop location offers impressive views of WDW property, and the prix fixe menu includes European-style pastries, quiches, and waffles. Reservations are limited for this dining experience, so contact your Wishing On A Star Travel® advisor if you’re interested in this dining location for your next Walt Disney World vacation!

Cape May Café Restaurant

Cape May Café is located inside of Disney's Beach Club Resort. If you're unfamiliar with this beautiful resort, you can learn more from our review here. In short, however, Disney's Beach Club resort is located in the EPCOT resort area right on the waters of Crescent Lake. It's a beautiful New England-style resort with many soft colors and relaxing vibes. It even recently renovated its rooms and public spaces, so it's looking great!

You might recall that this resort is home to the sprawling Stormalong Bay pool. It's a massive pool area that some say can even be considered a waterpark! This makes this location very popular for all ages, so be sure you have time to wander around the resort if you're visiting for a meal!

How to Book Cape May Café Reservation

Cape May Café is a trendy restaurant, so you'll want to be sure you snag a reservation as early as possible. While our review reflects the character experience, it is also open for dinner. Breakfast is served from 7:30-11:30 am and dinner from 5:00-9:00 pm. If you're curious about other character breakfasts, we have all you need to know in our Disney World character dining guide.

If you don't get a reservation right away, don't panic! Reservations open up regularly, so be persistent and check the My Disney Experience app regularly. You can get lucky and find a reservation that meets your needs! From our experience, the character breakfast is usually more challenging to book, so keep that in mind while planning. Note that the characters do not come out during the dinner service.

Pricing, as with all character meals, is certainly not inexpensive. Breakfast prices are as follows:

• $47 per adult, plus taxes and gratuity
• $30 per child, plus taxes and gratuity

For dinner, prices are as follows:

• $27 per child, plus taxes and gratuity

Cape May Café Restaurant Vibe

The restaurant is located just off the lobby and showcases a soft color palette with soothing beach vibes. You can expect to see many soft whites, creams, and coral colors. You'll also notice many beach touches and nods to a turn-0f-the-century coastal resort. While it's not the biggest restaurant, it is undoubtedly decently sized, with many seating options for small and large parties. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the recently refreshed colors and decor.

The restaurant comprises one large general seating area with the main buffet in the center. However, a small overflow room is located just behind the hostess area. While the decor is just as lovely in there, it does feel a bit tucked away and removed from the action, so if that is a problem for you, it's fair to request a seat in the main dining area.

Upon entering, you'll also notice a make-your-own omelet station. This was a nice perk, and the lines were never too long. They offered lots of toppings and mix-ins, so make the perfect omelet!

Cape May Café Review: Meal Experience

Upon arriving at your table, you'll find an adorable keepsake postcard with all the characters you'll meet during the experience. We find touches like this lovely, especially given the hefty price tag!

You can choose from various beverages, including coffee, orange juice, milk, and guava juice. If you're a fan of ‘Ohana, you'll instantly recognize that the guava juice is also the Pog juice from that restaurant!

We also need to mention the famous Salted Caramel “Beach Buns.” These were brought out to the table right away and were delicious! They're served with a warm vanilla sauce that oozes down the yummy bread. Once we had a bite, we knew it would be hard to resist!

The waiter clarified that you won't have to worry about getting up to go and meet any of the characters. Instead, she explained that the characters would make regular rounds and go to each table. While you hear this a lot for character meals, we were pleasantly surprised that this was indeed the case. All of the characters made sure to get to each table. More on that later!

Cape May Café Food Review

Let's talk food! After all, this is still a meal, and while we were excited about the characters, we were also hungry and were looking forward to a filling meal before hitting the parks.

Cape May Café is a buffet-style restaurant that allows you to eat all you care to enjoy. When you look online, you won't find the menus too helpful as buffet selections can change, but it does give you an idea. The breakfast menu can be found here, and dinner here .

We found the offerings to be plenty. Since it was a breakfast service, we anticipated the usual eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. However, we were also happy to see a fruit and yogurt bar and some unique breakfast options, such as breakfast tacos and crêpes!

Enjoy the sights of the buffet!

And lastly, yes, there were Mickey and Minnie waffles! We may have eaten more than we care to share, but they were so good and always fresh! Upon seating, the syrup was brought to the table, so you never went without it.

Now for the quality and taste. Did we find that the food was good? Yes! Again, breakfast options only go so far, but the food was delicious. All the options were fresh and warm and did not feel like they had been sitting for a while. We noticed that the serving platters were turned regularly, which helped keep it tasting fresh.

Drinks were also refilled very quickly! They are also all you care to enjoy, so it was nice not to have to worry about rationing any of that delicious guava juice!

We did not try the omelet station, but the smells from the station were delicious and popular. This leads us to believe that they were just as good. We did not have enough space in the tummy after those mickey waffles!

Cape May Café Review Disney Characters

Alright, now for the fun! This is a character experience, after all. After being seated, the first character only took about 15 minutes to reach our table. Up first, we met Donald Duck! Dressed in his beach attire, he was fun to interact with and happy to pose for pictures!

Honestly, this is where we felt the magic. We noticed that not once did any of the characters feel rushed. Each time, we decided when it was time for them to move on after pictures and some fun “conversation.” We've experienced other character experiences that felt rushed, so this was a refreshing pace.

Up next, Minnie made her way over to us! This was when we noticed all the characters wore the outfits we first saw in the souvenir postcard waiting at our table. We had a lot of fun seeing the looks come to life before us! Minnie was a lot of fun and also spent plenty of time at our table and posed for as many pictures as we wanted.

Daisy soon followed, and we also had much fun with her. It's neat to see their different personalities come out and compare how they engaged with us. We found Daisy to be very playful and a bit spicy!

They might have saved the best for last. Our last meeting was with Goofy! Once we got over how tall(!) he was, we had a great time with him. Goofy is such a character and really knows how to start the party! After he chatted with us and took many photos, we saw him create a “surfing” party with the little ones. Music was cued, and seeing the young at heart showing off their imaginary surf skills was adorable!

We appreciated the constant but well-timed flow of meet and greets. In just about an hour, we met all the characters and enjoyed a great meal. We had about 10 minutes or so between each character interaction, so we also never felt that we needed to eat quickly. Considering that neither of the characters had cast members guiding them, we were impressed with the easy flow!

Cape May Café Review: Was it Worth it?

This one is easy. We give this a firm yes! The Cape May Café character breakfast is definitely worth it. Not only do you get to enjoy a wonderful meal, but you cannot beat the opportunity to meet lots of your favorite Disney pals. This alone is so worth it, considering that you can sometimes wait hours in line to meet the fun pals. This is how we can easily see that this experience gives you lots of bang for your buck.

We also must say that if you happen to be staying at the resort, it's incredibly convenient to walk down into the lobby and enjoy a wonderful meal. While no one we saw was in pajamas, we definitely saw some hotel guests come down in their comfy outfits! It's also convenient not to travel far for a meal before hitting the park. In this case, given its proximity to EPCOT, it's the perfect meal.

Overall, we were incredibly pleased with our experience and recommend it!

Cape May Café Review: FAQ's

Cape May Café offers Minnie's Beach Bash Breakfast with characters, but the seafood dinner option does not include characters.

The buffet is finally back at Cape May Café! While it was closed for some time, you can now enjoy a full buffet at Cape May Café.

Yes! Cape May Café includes complimentary non-alcoholic drinks. Alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.

Cape May Café has Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy throughout the character breakfast.

While this is up to discretion, it is the norm that you tip your waiter at a buffet under the same standards as regular restaurants.

Cape May Café Character Breakfast Review

Cape May Café is located in Disney’s Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World. This post reviews the all-you-can-eat Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast, which features Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy, and of course, Minnie Mouse. Here, we’ll share thoughts on whether this character meal is worth the money, and provide thoughts on food and character interactions. ( Last updated June 17, 2018 .)

As noted, Cape May Café serves all-you-care-to-eat buffet cuisine in an airy oceanside atmosphere at Beach Club Resort. Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast participates in the Disney Dining Plan . It also accepts the Tables in Wonderland card for a 20% discount . Like most character breakfasts, it’s not a good value on the Disney Dining Plan , but it’s not a terrible value, either, especially with kids.

Minnie Mouse and “and her friends” which are almost always Goofy, Donald, and Daisy Duck (although that’s advertised as being “subject to change”) meet and greet guests during this Disney Character Dining experience, which serves a variety of breakfast favorites, including Mickey Waffles, a fresh fruit and yogurt bar, fresh-baked pastries, breakfast pizza, biscuits and gravy, and other options.

We’ve visited Cape May Café a few times, including on our honeymoon when we stayed at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort . We first began dining here out of necessity, because we wanted to do a character meal but couldn’t grab reservations anywhere else.

Since, we’ve found that it’s one of the best character meals on Walt Disney World property, with great breakfast food variety, fun costumes for characters we like, and a lack of crowds as compared to more popular options like Chef Mickey’s or ‘Ohana (or literally anything in-park).

Like the rest of Disney’s Beach Club Resort, the ambiance and atmosphere at Cape May Café is nice. Pastel-colored umbrellas, beach chairs, and croquette clubs decorate the restaurant.

These really set the mood nicely for the meal, although some of the window-facing ones appeared a bit sun-faded. Obviously a very minor observation, but for the prices charged, Beach Club should always be in tip-top shape.

Another nice element of the ambiance (in a way) is that Cape May Café is tucked away and often is far less busy than popular locations like Chef Mickey’s.

Characters spend more time with guests, there are shorter waits to be seated, and the buffets in general aren’t as busy. At least on the occasions when we’ve gone. During the free dining promotion, it’s probably much busier.

When we first started dining at Cape May Café, the restaurant featured Minnie, Goofy, Chip, and Dale all dressed in very cool swimsuits. Unfortunately, Chip and Dale are no longer regulars–perhaps because it was ecologically-improbable to find chipmunks at the beach? (Then again, whatever kind of half-man, half-dog creature Goofy is is also illogical if you want to break it down!)

As of Summer 2018, Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast now features Goofy, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. Donald’s costume is awesome (possibly the best of the bunch), and Daisy is likewise a solid addition, so it’s tough to get too worked up over the loss of Chip & Dale.

Luckily, the breakfast has remained as excellent-as-ever over the years. Cape May Cafe has quite possibly the most extensive character breakfast menu of all character breakfasts, with ~44 items on the menu!

The buffet is divided into a cold bar, hot bar, yogurt bar, and dessert bar. There truly are too many items to name, but some of my favorites include the Biscuits with Home-style Sausage Gravy, Bacon Gruyère Casserole, Mickey Waffles, Breakfast Potatoes, sausage, and bacon.

As you can tell, I don’t mess around at Cape May Café–I order mostly meats and other delicious (and unhealthy) hot-items. Let someone else have all the bananas and oatmeal!

At various times, Cape May Café has also offered a breakfast pizza. I don’t want to fixate on this too long, because it’s not always available, but if it is there, make sure to try it. It’s incredible. A genius combination of cheese and egg and “other stuff” that is absolutely not to be missed. I know the description (and even the concept) may sound suspect, but few things in this world beat a good Cape May Cafe breakfast pizza.

The other breakfast items aren’t too shabby, either. There’s the Disney breakfast standby, the Mickey Waffles, along with some other more unique items like the Bacon Casserole and Breakfast Potatoes. These have always been great when we’ve tried them, never cold or “old” tasting, even when we’ve gone on days that Cape May Café hasn’t been overly-busy. I am not too high on breakfast at Disney regardless of where it is, but the options at Cape May Cafe are definitely solid.

Overall, Cape May Café is a great option for breakfast, regardless of whether you have kids. At nearly $30, it’s rather pricey for breakfast (a dinner clambake is a non-character alternative), but this is par for the course with character meals. It’s difficult to ding it too much for the price since it is in line with other locations, but at the same time, we always do find ourselves with a bit of “sticker shock” when we receive the bill, and I think Disney typically does not do breakfast nearly as well as other meals (for comparison’s sake, we typically pay less when we dine at Beaches & Cream for dinner, even when we order decadent ice cream treats–and we usually leave both restaurants about equally full).

Luckily you can eat as much as you want, so make sure to stick around for a while so you get your money’s worth. That said, the food is excellent, the characters are fun, and it’s always nice to head over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort. It’s one of our favorite character breakfasts thanks to its mix of food, characters, and crowds. If a character breakfast with fab five characters in awesome costumes is what you want, this is the meal for you. Plus, it’s a short walk to Epcot, so you can easily hit the parks after your meal!

What do you think of Cape May Cafe…is it a great, quiet character meal, or is it an inferior experience to the “big” options like Chef Mickey’s and Cinderella’s Royal Table? Any questions about the experience at Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Written by Tom Bricker

Review is still accurate. Pricey but good breakfast buffet with characters. 2 year old had a blast on 6 July 2023. Same four characters but different costumes from your pictures.

Does Cape May have a breakfast buffet without characters?

They don’t. There is a character free breakfast buffet at Ale & Compass next door at Yacht Club.

Character meals are always popular dining reservations – especially Cape May, since this one is within walking distance of Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Reservations for all the restaurants at Disney World currently open up exactly 60 days in advance  — and you should book dining as soon as you can (which is what we did).

• Learn how to snag hard-to-get Disney World dining reservations

Checking in

Like with many Table Service restaurants across Disney World, you are able to check in for dining reservations 20 minutes prior  using the My Disney Experience app .

For our 9:55 a.m. breakfast on July 26, 2023, we checked in around 9:38 a.m.

We didn’t have to wait too long to be called, maybe 5-10 minutes max.

What’s included at Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast

Let’s take a look at what’s included at a Cape May Cafe breakfast…

Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast all-you-can-eat buffet includes:

• Starters (for breakfast that is primarily pastries)
• Entrées
• Kid’s offerings
• Beverages (all alcoholic drinks cost extra)

You meet classic Disney characters in beach-inspired costumes . They all sign autographs AND we were given a cute little autograph card, too!

Character Interactions

What makes Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast so fun is you can meet characters in beach attire! We love themed costumes and these are some of the cutest on property. We feel like we say that at every meal BUT, these really are cute, we promise.

Here’s who you get to meet:

The characters definitely came in waves, and we made the mistake of getting up to grab some refills and wound up missing Donald, but don’t worry, we didn’t have to wait long for him to come back around. Tip: if this happens to you, and you need to leave, let your server know, and they can sometimes work a little magic to get the character back to you faster .

Minnie, of course, is the star of the show, but Daisy hung out and did a little photoshoot that was absolutely adorable:

Other than Daisy, the character interaction was just “fine”. We managed to snap some cute pics, but overall, we felt like the character interactions were a bit rushed. Maybe it was just an off day?

Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast food and drinks

A buffet is served for breakfast at Cape May Cafe.

Here’s what was included in the breakfast buffet during our visit to Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast on July 26, 2023 (keep in mind that menus and prices change, so the following may not always be the same) .

Before you hit the buffet, your server brings you an order of Salted Caramel “Beach Buns” served with vanilla cream:

The Main Buffet Line

There is a decent selection of both traditional breakfast foods along with some heavier entrées that are more in the “brunch” category.

Of course, there are breakfast pastries, including croissants and muffins. Pro-tip: don’t fill up too much on the bread so that you can save room for all the other good stuff.

Plus you’ll find scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, and sausage:

And even carved ham – this was a nice touch and a bit of a surprise. The ham was juicy and flavorful and the perfect compliment for breakfast:

There are also classic breakfast dishes like cheddar biscuits and gravy (this was just okay), grits (not our favorite), chocolate chip pancakes (these were seriously so good!).

There were also some crêpes, which were a disappointment, to be honest. We love a good crêpe, but these were a bit rubbery and lacked flavor.

And even Minnie (and Mickey) Waffles. The Minnie waffles were cute as a button, as you’d expect! Taste-wise, they were the standard Disney waffle (which honestly is pretty good). But let’s be real, you’re mostly here for the adorable Minnie shape, right?

If you prefer something a bit lighter, there is an assortment of yogurt, parfaits, and oatmeal.

Plus, your standard fruit options are also available: melon, berries, and citrus. Everything seemed fresh enough, and it’s always good to have some healthy options on the table.

Like all Disney buffets, there is a section of the buffet line that is lower to the ground that is designed especially for kids. On the day we dined, they had Mickey Waffles, pancakes, potato barrels (aka tater tots), and ketchup all down at a kid-friendly height:

Omelet Station

The omelet station was the star of the show for us.

If you want something made fresh for you, head there where a chef will create a customized omelette just for you.

Since the omelets were cooked to order, we actually preferred this to many of the items available on the regular buffet.

Water, soft drinks, juice, coffee, tea, and milk are all included with the cost of your meal. There is also a selection of beer, cider, seltzer, wine, or cocktails you can order for an additional cost.

Important : If you or someone in your party has dietary restrictions, many Disney World restaurants have accommodations, and they also sometimes list the allergy-friendly items on the menu (online and in the My Disney Experience app). If you have questions, be sure to chat with a Cast Member and they’ll be able to assist you.

Our most recent review of Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast

Cape May was overall a decent choice for breakfast. Let’s talk about the good things first.

Location. The location of Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast at Cape May Cafe is very convenient for many resorts. Of course, any of the Epcot area resorts are within walking distance (Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk Inn and Villas, Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve) and with the Skyliner , all of the resorts on that line (Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, and Disney’s Riviera Resort) also are an easy ride away.

This is a big deal because it can sometimes be a hassle to get to a restaurant that is at a different resort than the one you are staying at – especially for breakfast.

Now, what about the character interactions? We thought the characters were a lot of fun. They have cute outfits, and they spent a decent amount of time at our table. It wasn’t the BEST character interactions we’ve ever had. But it wasn’t terrible.

But, the bad part was it felt chaotic. The characters came in weird bursts (or at least weird to us and not our experience at other character meals), the spacing felt tight – especially around the buffet, and because our table was kind of in the corner, it made it difficult to get in and out.

As for the food, it was okay – and we did sample nearly everything. It was breakfast food – and it is really hard to mess up breakfast food, but it is also kind of difficult to have too many “unique” things at breakfast, either.

Pretty much all the breakfast buffets at Disney World offer a similar menu, unlike the buffet service for lunch and dinner. That can be both a plus and a minus, though, depending on how adventurous you like to be when dining.

A food highlight for us was the omelet station. Having something prepared fresh was great, and the serving size of the omelets was perfect (not so big that you don’t leave room for anything else).

And the waffles were delicious, too.

Everything else was good for what it was. There weren’t really any other standouts, aside from the Minnie-shaped waffles simply because Mickey is the typical shape you find which made the Minnie ones extra sweet.

Is Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast worth it?

First off, the food is fine. You’ve got your standard Minnie waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage, grits, biscuits and gravy, etc. They do add a few special items like the omelet station and crêpes. It’s a solid breakfast buffet, but we wouldn’t say it’s anything to write home about. If you’re expecting a culinary masterpiece, this might not be the spot for you. But if you’re good with a decent, hearty breakfast to kick off your day in the parks, then you’ll be satisfied.

But, if you are booking here, you are likely doing it because of the characters. Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, and Donald Duck usually make the rounds, and yes, they’re adorable in their beach gear.

But we’ve got to be honest, the character interactions are not as intimate as some of the other experiences we’ve had. Maybe it was the day we went, or maybe it’s a bit hit-or-miss, but it felt a little rushed and a bit chaotic. You’ll still get some cute photos, but don’t expect an over-the-top, magical experience.

On the topic of cost, you’re looking at around $49 for adults and $29 for kids aged 3-9 as of our last visit. Not the most expensive meal you’ll have at Disney World, but not cheap either. When you consider that you’re getting both food and some time with characters, it might seem like a reasonable deal.

So, is Cape May Cafe worth it? We’d say it depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a simple, decent breakfast with a side of Disney characters, then sure, go for it. It’s a nice way to start your day, especially if you’re staying nearby at an Epcot Area or Skyliner resort or are planning to head to Epcot or Hollywood Studios.

But if you’re after something exceptional—either in terms of food or character experiences—we’d recommend you try out Topolino’s, which is a nearby breakfast character meal located at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends at Topolino’s is not a buffet (so it is less chaotic) and the entrée selections are way better, too.

Cape May Cafe Breakfast Review (Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast Buffet)

This article provides a review of the character breakfast, Minnie’s Beach Bash, at Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort.

Walk through the lobby of Disney’s Beach Club anytime during breakfast hours, and you’ll likely find the lobby buzzing with guests. Most of those guests are waiting to check in or be seated at Cape May Cafe’s Minnie Beach Bash.

When I say buzzing, I mean lots of families with small children. Usually, everyone is hungry and eager to get their seat. But, even more so, later in the morning, you’ll find the guests who sacrificed eating breakfast earlier in exchange for a seat at Minnie’s Beach Bash.

This popular location offers a traditional breakfast buffet and the opportunity to meet several classic characters in fun beach attire. So grab a shovel and pail. We’re off to Cape May Cafe to enjoy Minnie’s Beach Bash.

This article was updated on December 3, 2023.

Earlier in the week, I had plans to set sail on the Disney Wish with a few of my friends from Firefly Travels. Anna Marie flew into town, and we rode to the port together. On our way to Cape Canaveral, we decided to have a late breakfast at Walt Disney World upon our return. So Anna checked the My Disney Experience app, and a character breakfast for two at Cape May Cafe came up after a few refreshes.

We decided it was a great option. She wanted to try the experience for her customers, and I had yet to review Cape May Cafe. When we arrived at the Beach Club, the lobby was bustling. The gingerbread carousel had been installed the day before, and a crowd had formed around it. We checked in for our reservation and spent a few minutes checking out the gingerbread display.

Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast Buffet Pricing

At the time of this update, Minnie’s Beach Bash costs $47.00 for adults and $30.00 for children ages 3-9 years old. You can check the current price of breakfast on Disney’s site . It’s important to note that a family of four with two adults and two children will spend more than $155.00 plus tax and tip for this meal.

Cape May Cafe only has characters at breakfast. In the evening, the buffet transitions to a seafood dinner. Lunch is not served at this location. However, breakfast reservations are available between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. So you could consider this meal for brunch.

Inside, you’ll find beach theming that includes umbrellas and sand castle displays. It’s a cheerful place to enjoy breakfast.

On the way to our seats, we noticed a few breakfast cocktails on a stand near the entrance. Several drinks were available to order at an additional cost. However, coffee, tea, and soda are included in the price of the meal.

Cape May Cafe’s breakfast buffet sits toward the middle of the restaurant.

An omelet station is available in addition to the buffet.

Choices for omelets included:

• Ham and Cheese
• Western (Ham, Cheese, Onions, and Peppers)
• Vegetables (Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, and Spinach)
• Custom (Your choice: Ham, Cheddar Cheese, Mushrooms, Onions, Pepper, and Spinach)

Like most buffets at Disney World, bread service is brought to the table. Cape May Cafe is known for its Salted Caramel Beach Buns. These rolls were soft and delicious. They were served with a vanilla cream sauce on the side.

Regarding the buffet, I took photos of all the items so you could see what’s available. Like most character meals, the food is pretty generic. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s not great either. Most of these items you could order at one of the value resort food courts. But at least there are Mickey Waffles!

Speaking of Mickey, here are those Mickey-shaped waffles and chocolate chip pancakes.

Next, we see French Toast and biscuits.

Those biscuits come with a side of gravy. Per the menu, they were cheddar biscuits and gravy.

Then we have roasted potatoes and sausages. Most of these items are pretty standard at character dining breakfasts.

Here’s bacon with scrambled eggs.

Parker House Rolls were also on the buffet. These were likely from nearby Ale and Compass, which is one of our favorite restaurants. They have a delicious breakfast minus the character interactions.

A carving station with ham was available.

Fruit selections included grapes, strawberries, and pineapple.

Then we have a marshmallow fruit salad and overnight oatmeal with fruit topping and granola.

If you prefer regular oatmeal, it’s available, along with brown sugar and dried cranberries.

On the back side of the buffet, we have shredded cheese and a sauce. You could combine these items with tortillas and eggs to make a breakfast wrap.

There was another section with bacon and sausage. But, unfortunately, there wasn’t any chicken or turkey sausage available.

Next, we have asparagus, more roasted potatoes, and a plant-based item. The asparagus reminds me of breakfast at Boma, which is the best breakfast at Disney World .

Related: Boma Buffet Breakfast Review

Most of the items on the buffet have a label that helps identify them.

For instance, I had no idea what this dish had in it. But I was able to discern that it was tofu with vegetables.

These items that looked like yellow cupcakes with white icing were next to the plant-based items.

Surprisingly, they were poached eggs sitting on top of a potato hash.

On the back corner of the buffet was a kid’s section with Mickey-shaped waffles, pancakes, berry sauce, and whipped cream.

I guess it’s nice to have a few things at eye level for the kids.

Lastly, a selection of crepes with a drizzle of chocolate was available.

For my first trip to the buffet, I got the basics. I felt all of the items on this plate were satisfactory. Unfortunately, I can’t eat a lot of eggs. So, I would have done better by removing the poached egg. After I dove into it, the egg yolk ran everywhere, which kept me from continuing.

I tried a biscuit with gravy, a chocolate chip pancake, and a little fruit for round two. The cheddar biscuit with gravy was one of my favorite bites of the meal.

I grabbed overnight oats to sample but found them mostly flavorless.

And while the crepes looked fun, they were a letdown. I don’t know if this day was the norm, but there wasn’t any filling inside them. Instead, they were strictly crepes with a dash of confectioner’s sugar and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It would have been nice if they had a lemon butter filling with maybe a blueberry drizzle.

Overall, the breakfast items we received were exactly as we anticipated. Our meal was filling, but the food wasn’t exceptional. But Anna quickly reminded me that we were there for the characters!

Characters at Cape May Cafe

You’ll have the opportunity to meet several classic characters in fun attire at Minnie’s Beach Bash. This was the fun part of the meal, and they didn’t disappoint.

First, Minnie Mouse came to the table wearing a beautiful striped summer dress with a matching hat. I love that bow on your dress, Minnie!

Not long after, Donald Duck made an appearance. He reminded us that he was the number one character at breakfast.

As the meal progressed, a song came on over the speaker system. During that time, the characters gathered the children in their immediate area and invited them to dance. This interaction reminded me of the Princess Processional at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall character breakfast and the Hawaiian Roller Coaster dance at the ‘Ohana Character Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch .

Eventually, Daisy Duck made an appearance at our table. She was as fashionable as ever.

Goofy was the last character to come by our table. By the time Goofy had arrived, we were finishing up. Our meal lasted approximately one hour, and we met all the characters.

If you reserve this meal, I would plan for it to take an hour and a half. We waited about fifteen minutes to be seated after we checked in. Additionally, meeting the characters could take a little longer if they are running behind. So pace yourself during breakfast.

A server will likely mention this, but if a character is nearby when you’re initially seated, you can wait or feel free to go on and prepare your food. That character will come back through by the end of your meal.

To keep things flowing smoothly, the characters at Minnie’s Beach Bash do not sign autographs. An autograph card is presented to the table. One side of the card shows Minnie and her friends at the beach.

On the opposite side, you’ll find the character’s autographs.

Ultimately, the characters at Cape May Cafe made our experience enjoyable. I couldn’t help but notice that others around us seemed to be having a good time.

Funny enough, the dad at the table next to us nearly croaked when he received the check. Anna couldn’t help but notice his “wow” expression when he opened the bill. So keep the price in mind when reserving a character meal. If you’re on a tight budget, you might opt to meet a few characters in the parks.

But if you want to experience a little bit of everything, plan a character breakfast on a morning when you don’t have a ton of other stuff planned. We like to do this kind of thing on a resort day, where we enjoy a late breakfast, spend the afternoon at the pool, and then have a casual dinner.

We have a complete guide that covers every character restaurant at Walt Disney World . Here are some of our recent character meals:

• Tusker House Character Breakfast Review
• The Crystal Palace Breakfast Review
• Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast

What Do You Think?

What are your thoughts on Minnie’s Beach Bash at Cape May Cafe? Do you plan to reserve this character meal during your vacation?

Hi, I'm Amber the owner of Resorts Gal . We have stayed at every single Disney Resort Hotel. Our philosophy? We believe you can have an incredible time at the resorts without ever setting foot in a theme park. We live near the parks and visit weekly and would love for you to follow along.

I am in love with the character outfits. I wonder if you would recommend this restaurant over Topolino’s for breakfast? I like the idea of the buffet more then Top’s menu.. But the ambience might be better. Thanks for a great article!

Hi, I think that Topolino’s is the best character breakfast at Disney in regards to the food. It’s also nice to visit the Riviera and enjoy rooftop dining. With that said, Cape May Cafe is fun and there are more options on the buffet–but they are fairly generic buffet items.

Review: Cape May Cafe Breakfast Review

By Author Ziggy Oskwarek

Posted on Last updated: April 28, 2019

• Pinterest 113

Cape May Cafe is a Table Service Restaurant in the Beach Club Resort which has both a Character Breakfast in the morning and a Buffet Style Clam-bake Dinner in the evening (the Dinner does NOT have Characters).  If you are using the Disney Dining Plan you will need to use 1 Dining Credit for Breakfast or Dinner.  It does participate in Tables in Wonderland which gives you a %20 discount on your food and drinks, which is always a great thing!  Cape May Cafe does accept ADR’s 180 Days in advance and because of the extreme popularity in Character Breakfasts I highly recommend making one 180 days out.

If you’ve never experienced a Character Breakfast before then you’re in for a treat and here you get to see Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck!  There is also an all-you-can-eat Buffet at your disposal with classic breakfast items such as: Eggs, Sausage, Bacon, Danish, Pastries, Muffins, Waffles, Ham, Potatoes and even Crepes!   Prices vary a bit depending on if you are there in the busy season or not but expect to pay between $35-40 per adult plus tax and tip.  That isn’t a cheap breakfast by any means and not something you want to do every day of your trip, but something you might do once.

• Tip: If you are on the Disney Dining Plan and go to Cape May Cafe or most Character Meals is a good use of your credits, seeing as it only requires 1 credit and you get good value for it.

It’s been a while so I wanted to do a Cape May Cafe breakfast review to see if any improvements or changes have been made. Let’s have a look….

Atmosphere:

Cape May Cafe is located at the Beach Club Resort , which just happens to be my favorite and what I feel is the best resort in all of Walt Disney World.  If your already staying at the Yacht or Beach Club then it will be no problem getting here you can just roll out of bed and come in your PJ’s if you want!  If you’re staying at one of the other Epcot Resorts such as the Boardwalk or Swan and Dolphin then you can walk right over too as it’s only a 10 minute walk.  It makes sense to come to Cape May Cafe for breakfast then spend the day in either Epcot or Hollywood Studios after breakfast as they are close by.

If you have a reservation at Cape May Cafe but staying at another resort they will give you a parking voucher which lasts a couple of hours.  If you don’t have a car and are not staying nearby there’s always Uber!

Enter into the wonderful Beach Club Resort Lobby and enjoy that Victorian style beach-side atmosphere.  Elegance and relaxed at the same time:

You’ll see some old turn of the century seaside style decorations including these beach chairs:

Is this the kind of bathing suit you wore as a kid?:

If you’re not too stuffed after breakfast maybe we can play a game of croquet?:

The restaurant is very open and spacious.  The beautiful wooden stick style architecture is apparent:

The same light blues, pinks and white color Cape May Cape as the rest of the Beach Club:

You can have your choice of either booths or regular tables:

One of the coolest features of Cape May are the Sand Castles:

There are a variety of them, all of which are uniquely different:

The attention to detail is superb!  I wish I could have been able to make sand castles like this when I was a kid!:

Characters:

While the food is often times good at character breakfasts (and we’ll get to that), right off the bat you need to recognize that the real show are the Characters.   At Disney Character Meals a variety of different characters will come around and visit all the tables in the restaurant, taking pictures with you and signing autographs.

At the Cape May Cafe Breakfast you will find Minnie, Goofy and Donald Duck.   They are all dressed in their swimming outfits and ready for the beach, something you won’t find anywhere else in Walt Disney World.  Right now there are only those three, although from time Disney adjusts which characters go where so it is subject to change.

What makes Cape May Cafe a good choice for a character breakfast is that it’s less crowded than many others like Chef Mickey’s or Crystal Palace, which means you’re more likely to get a reservation and probably will have more time with the characters.

Goofy was funny as usual, posing, giving high-fives and just being his normal silly self!

Minnie Mouse:

and of course the lovely Minnie.  She even had time to help Big Zig out with his smartphone problems:

All the characters took time to take pictures and interact with us.  Sometimes character breakfasts seem rushed and they are in a hurry so much you barely get to say hello before they are off to the next table.  That’s the strong point of Cape May Cafe is it’s usually less crowded so you have more time.

• Tip: The earlier you make your reservation the less crowded it will be and the more time you’ll have with the characters!

Let’s get to the good stuff now…

Some unique offerings to Cape May Cafe are the delicious Chorizo and Four Cheese Scrambled Eggs , Cape May French Toast, Frittata and the Crepe Station!   Make my own crepes?  That’s all you had to tell me!!!  It’s all you can eat, so feel free to get up and have as many plates as you want.

Tip: Even though it’s a bit more crowed, if you go later in the morning, you can probably fill up, skip Lunch and then not eat again till Dinner.

You’ll find the Buffet Island in the middle of the restaurant.  Let’s get up and see what they’ve got:

Around the island you’ll see normal buffet-style pans which are hot and filled with yummy food.  For example there are 3 kinds of Eggs, Scrambled Eggs on the left and the Chorizo and Four Cheese Eggs in the middle:

The third kind was Eggs with Goat Cheese, Spinach, Mushrooms and Peppers , along with of course Bacon!

Breakfast Sausages and Potatoes :

Hand-carved Ham slices:

Southern Biscuits, Gravy and Creamy Cheddar Grits are always welcome to me! 🙂

There’s always one type of seasonal vegetable, this time Asparagus and Hollandaise Sauce .

Yes… French Toast! :

A selection of Sliced Deli Meats and Cheese.   It doesn’t look like they were hand sliced though:

Your typical Bagels , but there’s also Pastrami-style Smoked Salmon to go with it:

English Muffins along with other Breads upon which you can spread an assortment of Jams and Butter:

Nice selection of Cakes and Mini Muffins:

These Cinnamon Rolls were unbelievable, trust me you’ll be making more than one stop here:

And what Disney Breakfast would be complete without the famous Mickey Waffles ?!?!  I know I could never go without! 😉

There are some nice fixings for the Mickey Waffles too, a Strawberry Compote and Whipped Cream:

And also Chocolate Chips to throw on top!

Lastly and most interesting of all is the Crepes Station , yes, Crepes!!  As of writing this it’s the only Character Breakfast in Disney World where you can find them.  Here you can have them with Nutella or Blackberry Compote inside or also accompany them with Bananas Foster:

They are cooked fresh right before your eyes:

Lastly there’s a Fresh Fruit and Yogurt Station:

You’ll find a variety of Yogurts, Low-fat Strawberry, Low-fat Vanilla, House-made Granola as well as Applesauce and Cottage Cheese:

Fresh Fruit includes Pineapple, Strawberries and Blueberries, Melon, Oranges, Grapes and Grapefruit:

There’s even Granola, Trail Mix and an Apple Walnut Salad:

Before we started eating we ordered up a Bloody Mary , and I’ve gotta say this thing was incredible!!!  Hey we like to start out the day right! 😉

We started off with a plate full of all three kinds of Eggs, Potatoes, Sausage and of course Bacon! :

Sausage was nice a crisp on the outside and greasy and flavorful in.  Bacon was also quite good for a buffet breakfast (it’s no Oscasr Meyer Thick-cut Bacon) it was light and flavorful and neither burnt or undercooked.  Also the Potatoes were very good I thought.  Could really taste the peppers and onions which blended awesomely but were not overpowering.  They were browned but not burnt, and not too mushy either.

Next plate was some B read and Butter, because well, it’s awesome!  Also we tried the Pastrami-style Smoked Salmon which was incredible and gave traditional smoked salmon a bit more kick!  But that Cinnamon Roll…..Wow!  These things are irresistible, really!  They were warm and gooey, covered in s weet cream cheese frosting …yeah, don’t really need to say more than that do I?

Time for some Fruit:

I forgot to mention my Juice which was an Orange, Mango, Passion Fruit Juice which was super yummy.  I think I had 3 of them! 🙂

With my juice of course I had to try some Crepes, made freshly from the crepes station.  I got one Nutella filled and one Blackberry:

You can put Nutella in just about anything and it will taste better!:

I of course am also a fruit lover and of course putting Blackberry inside is the more healthy option!  Was wonderful!

Lastly were the Mickey Waffles which I can never skip!  Perfectly crisp yet chewy, and we loaded up on the Strawberries and Whipped Cream! 

Try to guess which plate was mine and which was my Mom’s…

Overall Cape May Cafe was a success. It’s one of the least crowed Character Breakfasts in Walt Disney World which is definitely a plus.  We came early at about 7:45 and the place was less than half full so we had plenty of time to mingle with the characters without feeling too rushed.  There are only three characters which is a drawback , but the ease makes up for it.

The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed , just like being at the seaside.  It’s also bright, cheerful and quite spacious inside.  The convenience if you are staying at the Yacht and Beach Club, or any of the Epcot area resorts can’t be beat.  It also makes a great starting point for a long day in Epcot or Hollywood Studios.

The price of $35-40 is quite expensive for a normal breakfast, but comes in normal for Disney Buffets.  The Buffet itself is big and has a great selection of Hot and Cold offerings with the standouts being the Chorizo Four Cheese Eggs, Cinnamon Rolls, Waffles and Crepe Station!  Most of the offerings won’t blow you away and you’ll find them at most at most buffets, but it was solid.

Overall a few of the Character Breakfasts are still above Cape May Cafe like 1900 Park Fare and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, and I’d say Cape May falls in the middle of the pack .  However if you’re looking for a character breakfast which isn’t too crowded and has a nice quantity of food with some unique items, as well as a good location then give Cape May Cafe a try!

Cape May Cafe is open from 7:30am – 11:00am for Breakfast and 5:00pm – 9:00pm for Dinner Daily.  The Dinner Buffet does NOT have characters.   The Disney Dining Plan is also accepted, it is a 1 Disney Dining Credit Restaurant.  Reservations can be made via the Disney World website or by calling (407) WDW-DINE .

Wednesday 3rd of May 2017

So...last week a good friend visited Cape May for breakfast hoping to enjoy the crepe station. It's a favorite of hers. It WASN'T THERE! Have you heard tell of this elsewhere? I'll be so sad. We have reservations in a couple months as we are staying at Beach Club. We were really looking forward to the crepes

Thursday 4th of May 2017

oh, no!!! that's terrible! It was my favorite part of the meal when I was there too! Did your friend ask anything about it? I haven't seen this anywhere else yet unfortunately, but if I do I'll let you know!

What Characters Will I Find At Each Disney World Character Dining Experience?

When it comes to finding that perfect character dining experience at Walt Disney World , cuisine can absolutely be a deciding factor, but more than likely you’re trying to find a way for your kids to meet some of their favorite characters, pose for pictures and acquire signatures for their coveted autograph books.  If this is the case, knowing what characters usually make an appearance at each character dining meal is a great way of narrowing in on the dining options that are a “must-do” for your family.  Over the past few weeks, Disney World has announced a few changes to the characters you’ll find at these must-do meals. To get you up to speed, we’ve compiled a list for you of the characters you can expect to find at each location.

Magic Kingdom: 

Crystal Palace –   This lovely buffet features your favorite friends from Hundred Acre Wood including: Winnie the Pooh , Piglet,  Tigger and Eeyore an is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Cinderella’s Royal Table –  There’s a rotating cast of Princesses on hand.  You’ll usually find Cinderella (who poses for photos at the entrance), Aurora , Snow White , and Ariel .   Jasmine has also been known to make an appearance and occasionally Belle .  You can make reservations for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Be Our Guest – The Beast is on hand for dinner only (Breakfast and Lunch are considered Quick Service and don’t feature characters.)  It should also be noted that The Beast does not visit each table individually like other character dining experiences.  Instead, he enters each dining room, gives a regal wave and then goes to a separate room for a photo op.

Garden Grill –  This fabulous rotating restaurant is in The Land Pavilion, with classic dishes served family style.  While you slowly rotate,  you’re visited by a few classic Disney friends including Chip , Dale , Pluto and Mickey (dressed in his farmer garb!) The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall  –   A nice alternative to Cinderella’s Royal Table, Princesses are also on hand during this dining experience.  You’ll usually find Belle , Aurora , Snow White , Cinderella and Ariel .   This Norwegian-inspired restaurant offers hearty breakfasts as well as tasty lunch and dinner offerings.

Animal Kingdom:

Tusker House – One of my favorite character dining options at Disney, this buffet features amazing world cuisine and guests are visited by Safari Mickey , Daisy , Donald , Goofy and Pluto .  The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hollywood Studios:   Both character dining options at Hollywood Studios take place at Hollywood and Vine .  Each meal offers a buffet with a wide range of classic options. Here’s a rundown of who you’ll meet at both experiences:

Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine –  NEW CHANGES! –  Fans of Mickey and the Roadster Racers will be delighted to know that as of earlier this month Roadster Goofy is now on hand to greet guests at this Disney Junior themed breakfast.  He is replacing Handy Manny and joins other characters such as Sofia the First, Jake and Doc McStuffins.

Minnie’s Seasonal Dine – For dinner guests get to meet Minnie , Daisy , Donald , Goofy and Mickey dressed in their favorite outfits of the season!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – This Disney Deluxe Resort offers two character dining experiences at its 1900 Park Fare restaurant. Both are buffet and the experiences are as follows:

Supercalifragilistic Breakfast –  This breakfast offering features a rotating cast of Disney characters which may include Alice in Wonderland , Mad Hatter , Mary Poppins , Winnie the Pooh and Tigger .

Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner –  The stars of this suppertime character dining experience are Cinderella and Prince Charming before the event gets crashed by Lady Tremaine (the Evil Stepmother) as well as Anastasia and Drizella (Evil Stepsisters).  Fairy Godmother has also been known to occasionally make an appearance.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort – Character dining here takes place at the restaurant Ohana for breakfast only.

Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo & Stitch –  Guests dine on breakfast classics with a tropical twist while being visited by Lilo, Stitch , Hawaiian Mickey, and Pluto .

Disney’s Contemporary Resort: 

Chef Mickey’s – This all-you-can-eat buffet is located in the beautiful atrium of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.  Reservations can be made for breakfast, lunch or dinner and guests are visited by Mickey Mouse , Minnie Mouse , Pluto , Donald Duck and Goofy .

For more information on Chef Mickey’s check out this article .

Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort:  There is a character dining experience at the Yacht and Beach Club’s Cape May Cafe for breakfast only. Here are the details.

Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast – NEW CHANGES!  Guests at this ever popular character dining experience are in for a real treat as Disney recently added Minnie’s BFF to the breakfast line-up.  Daisy Duck will now be on hand to visit your table as you dine on much-loved Disney breakfast classics like Mickey Waffles, scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, fruit and more! Other characters include Minnie (of course) as well as Donald and Goofy!

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn: Trattoria al Forno located on Disney’s Boardwalk is the newest restaurant to offer character dining (for breakfast only).

Bon Voyage  Adventure Breakfast –  This hearty breakfast features amazing dishes like buttermilk pancakes, frittata and my favorite the breakfast calzone.  You’ll also get a chance to mingle with two of your favorite Disney couples: Rapunzel and Flynn Rider and Ariel and Prince Eric .

Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground –  Disney’s beloved campground offers a premium dining experience which is technically considered a Dinner Show with characters.  Here are the details:

Mickey’s Backyard Barbecue – This open-air dining experience features dancing, barbecue and a chance to meet Mickey and pals.  On hand will be Minnie , Goofy , Chip and Dale .

Those planning a Disney vacation should note that character dining experiences at Disney World are extremely popular.  It is strongly advised that you make your booking as early as possible.  Reservations open up 180 days before the start of your Disney package.  Dining reservations can be made via My Disney Experience, by calling 407.WDW.DINE or by contacting your travel agent.

Deep blues and rich woods help to establish the classic nautical setting.

The Yacht Club is the sister Resort to the attached Beach Club Resort .

And it’s all literally just steps away from EPCOT !

However, hot sandwiches, specialty desserts — and even a coffee bar — round out the options nicely.

Bars and Lounges

Ale & Compass Lounge is located just off the lobby of the Yacht Club.

It’s an ideal spot to relax with a night cap while winding down for the evening, or to grab a bite or two from their substantial appetizer menu.
