Happy dining news! Another character meal is returning! Find out when the experience returns and the date you can book reservations!

Disney Junior Character Meal

Breakfast is back at Hollywood and Vine! The Disney Junior breakfast was on hold as Disney World reopened. The meal features your favorite Disney Junior friends like Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, Doc McStuffins, and Roadster Goofy!

We enjoyed this meal back in 2018. My daughter was obsessed with Vampirina, and we absolutely loved this meal. In fact, she still loves the show over 2 years later!

Modified Experience

Although this meal is returning, there are some changes to expect. With other Disney World character meals, health and safety protocols will be implemented.

First, characters will be available from a distance. They will not be able to sign autographs, give hugs, or pose for photos up close. However, do not let that stop you! I recently enjoyed the Seasonal Dine at Hollywood and Vine, and I still got great photos of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto.

Second, the menu will look a bit different. Before the pandemic, this meal was a buffet. Disney has completely done away with all buffets and has instead replaced them with family style meals or regular plated entrees.
