We tried out the new Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast, and we're sharing…….was it worth the price tag?

This review of the new Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast rates the food, location+character interactions so that you can decide if it's worth booking!

We love a good character breakfast.  In fact, as Disneyland Passholders, we've tried every single Disneyland Character Dining option that exists.   Which means, when we headed to Walt Disney World before our Disney Cruise……we had to schedule a visit to Disney World's latest character dining into our agenda.  The Topolino's Terrace Character Breakfast launched a few months ago at the Riviera Resort, and we'd heard nothing but the best things.

Topolino's Terrace: A full review

We scheduled our breakfast for the morning of our check in to the resort, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.  The Riviera Resort is absolutely stunning, and we had about 45 minutes to wander around before our breakfast.  I'd definitely suggest carving out some time to explore the resort before or after your meal….there is amazing, unique art everywhere plus those mosaics near the Skyliner entrance? A must visit.

Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast: Is It Worth the Money?

Minnie in her Topolino's Terrace outfit is ADORABLE!

Spoiler alert: Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends (aka the Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast) is in my top three picks for ANY character dining experience we've had on ANY Disney property.  It's unique, I loved the food, the location is AMAZING, and the characters? Such a magical and special experience.

Cost: The cost for the Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast is $41 for adults and $24 for children ages 3-9.

Menu: There are two parts to the Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast menu…..a set of shared pastries   ( a chocolate chip muffin, a croissant, and epi bread with honey butter, homemade jam, and chocolate-hazelnut spread) and then a choice of entree (for both children and adults).   The pastries? Let's start with those. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.  In fact I'd go back JUST to have that epi bread again.  The pastries are served in an adorable paint bucket, and fit the theme perfectly.

Disney Food: The pastries at Topolino's Terrace are DIVINE!

When it comes to entrees, Topolinos Terrace has a great variety of options for both kids and adults (you can see the full menu HERE).  Whenever I'm at a fairly new dining experience, and haven't learned a TON about…..I usually ask the server for their recommendation.  And our lovely lady? Recommended the Spiced Sausage Hash.  It's totally not what I normally would have chosen, but MAN am I glad I listened to her.  It was ABSOLUTELY amazing (spicy without being too much and just the right amount of food).  If you're a meat eater, I highly suggest trying it out.

Lydia chose (shocker) the Mickey Waffle Dippers and loved them (can you really go wrong with a Mickey Waffle anything?).

Characters and Interactions: While the food at Topolino's Terrace was amazing and that alone is worth recommending, the characters are the shining stars of this amazing experience.  Topolino's Terrace is the ONLY place you will see Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald in these unique outfits.  Each character is dressed as an artist (Mickey as a painter, Donald as a sculpturer, Minnie as a writer, and Daisy as a ballerina).  I was extremely impressed by how interactive the characters were.  They came to each table multiple times, and were amazing with the younger guests.  Lydia even dressed up in an outfit that matched Daisy's (see all the details about it here in our what to wear to disney world post) and she was SO excited to share it.  Each character's reaction when they saw Lydia's outfit was absolutely priceless!

Planning out your Walt Disney World Dining reservations? Topolino's Terrace Character Breakfast is new, and this review shares all the details about the menu, character interactions and whether it's worth the price tag!

So the verdict? I would go back to the Topolino's Terrace character breakfast again, and again and again.  This is a must book for us and I highly recommend you check it out!

Have you ever attended a luau? This was the first Have you ever attended a luau?This was the first I’ve EVER attended (fun fact, when we came to Aulani 5 years ago we were supposed to and it was rained out). The night before on this trip, we had some storms and I thought….oh no, round 2? But……the Hawaiian sun did it’s job and the weather for this was PERFECT. To be honest, this was not cheap.  I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel it was worth the money but…..WOW was it ever.  The food was amazing, there were really fun activities for kids at the beginning and the cultural performances were phenomenal.  All three of us (including not wanting to spend even more $$$ vacation Robbie) left raving about the experience. Aulani wins for us so far on this trip that I’m so glad I booked in advance (highly suggest doing this as far out from your trip dates as you can)- the luau (try night 2 or 3 of your trip so you’ve had time to adjust to the time change)- Aunty’s Beach House (this is still at limited capacity so you DO need to book in advance, I booked a session for days 2, day 3, and day 4 and we’ve enjoyed having a bit of time each day)- character dining and prix fix dinner at Makahiki (we are one big meal each vacation day people, so DON’T book these the same day, I’d do character breakfast early on your first full day….you’ll wake up early with the time change and the dinner on whichever night you AREN’T doing the luau)Already dreaming of booking another trip here.

We LOVED the character breakfast (so many unique local food offerings) and the Disney Team treated us to the prix fix dinner our first night here….I can’t even begin to explain what a lovely experience it was.  Killer cocktails, a GREAT kids’ menu and I had the best Ahi of my life.Now swipe all the way to end for an appearance from Vacation Robbie.  We love to see it.And place your votes…..pick ONE treat.
Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
