Though characters may vary, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy can often be found at Cape May Cafe, all dressed up for a day at the beach!
Though Disney characters are not present during Dinner, the evening meal serves up something unique, as all-you-can-eat surf-and-turf gets the spotlight, with plenty for landlubbers and seafood fans to enjoy!

Nosh or Not
Consider dining at Cape May Cafe if…
- Want a low-stress character breakfast by EPCOT. It’s an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast with classics (yes, Mickey waffles) and easy photos—minus the Main Street chaos. Stroll in from Beach/Yacht/BoardWalk or International Gateway like a pro.
- Craving a casual seafood buffet for dinner. Think peel-and-eat shrimp, roasted meats, salads, kid-friendly staples, and seaside-adjacent comfort. It’s not fussy—just plentiful—and perfect when your crew wants variety without negotiating entrées.
- Dining with kids and mixed palates. Picky eaters, adventurous samplers, and bottomless-waffle enthusiasts can all win here. Buffets mean everyone builds their own happy plate—and you’re not stuck sharing your mac ’n’ cheese (again).
- Staying around Crescent Lake. Location, location, location: an easy hop from your Beach Club room or a quick exit from EPCOT. Great for rope-droppers, pool-day people, and anyone who wants to eat well without a bus ride.
Skip dining at Cape May Cafe if…
- Maybe skip it if you want hushed, chef-driven dining. Cape May is lively, family-forward, and buffet-casual. If you’re after quiet ambience, intricate plating, or a sommelier moment, book elsewhere.
- You’re expecting characters at dinner. Breakfast has pals in beachwear; dinner does not. If your tiny royal is banking on hugs after sunset, redirect to another character meal.
- Seafood isn’t your thing (or allergies are a concern). There are non-seafood options, but the theme here leans shore-side. If shellfish makes you nervous—or just isn’t appealing—this won’t be your best match.
Important Information
- Disney Characters (at breakfast only) are subject to change, but usually include Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy.
- If you do have allergies, you’ll need to make sure to bring it up with your server. If you do have a shellfish allergy, you might want to stay away from here.
- Memberships that are eligible for discounts include: Disney World Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney Visa Cardholders.
- Cape May Cafe offers Mobile Dine Check-In.
- See the Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist.
