Breakfast at Topolino's has been getting quite the hype since it opened, so I was thrilled when I snagged a reservation on our trip to celebrate Magic Kingdom's 50th birthday. This restaurant is located on the 10th floor of Disney's Riviera Resort, the newest to open on Walt Disney World property. The décor is modern and bright, with floor to ceiling windows and a balcony to continue to take in the views right outside. Breakfast is a character dining experience, with Mickey and friends being dressed in their artsy best! Park attire is welcome, but you could just as easily get a little fancy and feel comfortable. We received our bread bucket and everything was delicious! The spreads were strawberry jam and hazelnut chocolate. Chris from Orlando recommended we order the Quiche Lorraine Frittata and the Wood-Fired Butchers Steak, with a side of waffles. We also ordered an extra side of eggs, which was a drop too much. Y’all, everything was SO good. Th...

Let's take a look back at 2021 when Chef Mickey's reopened as family-style dining before returning to the full buffet experience... Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort has been a long-time popular favorite for its proximity to the Magic Kingdom and the ability to see Mickey and Friends while dining.  However, it hadn't been one of my personal favorites because I felt the quality of food on the buffet had been lacking in recent years.  Since it reopened as a family-style meal and we were able to get a last minute reservation on our recent trip, we decided it was time to give it another chance.  Long story short, I'm so glad we gave this restaurant another try and I hope it stays family-style for a while because everything was really fantastic! Okay now let's get into the details.  We were able to secure a same-day reservation for two on a Thursday night earlier that day.  We had no park plans or anything so some cha...

When it is a little prince or princess’s first time dining at Cinderella’s Castle, you know it is going to be a special day!    Upon entering Cinderella Castle, you are in awe of its grandness. Every time I come here, I am still taken with the breathtaking details and beauty of this castle. And of course, I am most thrilled to see my two favorite characters, Jaq and Gus-Gus, hanging out in the castle, keeping a watchful eye over Cinderella.  Do you see Jaq and Gus-Gus? Those who dine here will begin their experience with a photo and an opportunity to meet with Cinderella. Once formally introduced to our host, you will be escorted up the grand staircase to your dining area. After receiving wishing stars, wands, and swords, dinner will begin. Cinderella, of course, did not invite you here to dine alone. On this particular evening, we had the honor of meeting Rapunzel, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel*! Cinderella’s friends may change from time to time. They are busy princ...

Outside at Wilderness Lodge In late 2018, the signature dining restaurant, Artist Point, known for game meats and a romantic lodge feel, transformed into Storybook Dining at Artist Point. The new dining experience features fairy tale inspired decor and menu items, and includes getting to meet some of your favorite characters from Snow White. Ever since the transformation, this has been a hot ticket item to try to get a reservation for, with some of these characters hard to meet elsewhere.  I was able to snag an early dinner reservation here in July and decided to give it a try. Walking into the restaurant, it is a completely different feel from what existed here before.  You feel as though you are walking into an enchanted forest and we really liked the vibes. Immediately upon seating, you'll notice the great level of detail that went into designing this area, from the leaf and vine plate towers, to the well worn look of the menu, every little bit felt special....
