I recently had the opportunity to have breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace, located on the top of Disney’s Riviera Resort. This is a character breakfast, although it was quite different from character meals of the past.
My first impression of the restaurant is that it is beautiful! The entire hotel is beautiful, and if you’ve ever been to Europe, you’ll be showered with memories of your past trips.
The food was also delicious! Definitely not worth $60 per person, which is the flat rate for dining here. But because it is a character dining experience, I would expect the high price tag.
The characters at this meal are Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. They are ADORABLE! They are all European versions of themselves — Mickey is a painter, Minnie is a poet, Donald is a sculptor, and Daisy is a ballerina.
The characters do NOT come to your table, and there are no physical interactions with them. They each take their turns coming out to dance and play around the restaurant. They will pose to allow you to take their picture, or sometimes they’ll pose perfectly for you to take a picture of them behind your children or for you to snap a selfie (but only while you are seated). Then all 4 of them will come out together to sing a song and do a dance. It’s super cute.
Overall, I am glad to have experienced this new restaurant and have the opportunity to check out a new Disney resort. But because of the high price tag, I won’t be rushing to do another character dining experience right away.
BONUS TIP: After your meal at Topolino’s Terrace, go outside, where there is a large seating area. The views up there are amazing!
