Character dining is one of our favorite ways to eat. Characters + good food = perfect combo.
Poet Minnie at Topolino’s Terrace
While many character dining spots have returned to Disney World, several restaurants had yet to see Mickey or Minnie visiting with diners since 2020. But that’s changing now, and here’s what you need to know!
Back in February, buffet dining returned to Cape May Cafe in Disney’s Beach Club Resort, but character dining did not yet come back. Before 2020, Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast was a popular character dining breakfast, with characters like Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy dressed up for a day at the beach.

Today Disney announced that Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast is coming back!! On October 4th, 2022, guests will once again be able to dine with Minnie and her pals while eating breakfast.

The Cape May Cafe breakfast buffet costs $25 per adult and $14 per child, and you can eat favorite dishes like the Salted Caramel “Beach Buns,“ Mickey AND Minnie Waffles, Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy, and lots more. As a bonus, Cape May is one of the cheapest buffets in Disney World.
