Disney Character Breakfasts at Disney Springs Area Hotels
2023 Update - character dining shut down in the locations listed below when the parks closed due to COVID. While many or all of these restaurants have reopened, characters have not yet returned. We hope they will return in the future. In the information below will tell you what was offered in the past.
I recently visited the Disney Springs Good Neighbor hotels that participate in Disney World resort benefits like Early Entry 30-minutes prior to the general public opening at all four Disney World theme parks. You might be interested to know about the three character breakfast locations available (prior to the COVID closure) on select days. It is important to note that these character breakfasts do not take place at restaurants within Disney Springs itself but are located in nearby Disney Springs Resort Area hotels, all within walking distance of Disney Springs. None of these locations accept advance reservations and are a great option if you’re having trouble getting reservations at a character meal location found in the Disney reservation system. You do not have to be a guest of these hotels to dine at the restaurants.
Which characters are offered: Disney sends over the characters and they usually just list “Disney Friends” or “Disney Pals” but Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Goofy seem to be fairly frequent visitors to breakfast. Brer Bear and Brer Fox were making the rounds the morning we were at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista which I thought was neat because you don’t usually see those two outside of Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom.
How to Get There: If you’re staying at one of the Disney Springs hotels, you can easily walk over. If you’re staying at one of the official Disney World resorts, the free option is to take the bus or boat, where available< from your hotel to the Disney Springs Marketplace stop and walk over. It may be easier to have a taxi, Uber or Lyft drop you off at the resort entrance.
Where were these offered?
Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort - Lake View Restaurant
Hilton Buena Vista Palace Hotel - Letterpress Restaurant
Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Hotel - Covington Mill Restaurant
When will these return?
No announcements have been made at this time.
Most, but not all, of the Disney character meals have returned to the Disney theme parks and at select official Disney World resorts.
We will update this page as more information becomes available.
