Hello Rowena! Your birthday boy and I almost share a birthday! And while we miss being “birthday buddies” by just a couple of days, it sounds like we do share a love of celebrating our special days with our favorite Disney characters!
There are several locations in the Disney Parks and in the Disney Resort Hotels that offer character dining perfect for a birthday! Let’s start with the celebratory-themed
Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! Chef Mickey’s is available for breakfast and dinner! Characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto will all make their rounds! Over at Disney’s Riviera Resort, you will find Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy hosting Guests during breakfast each morning! The restaurant is called
Topolino’s Terrace! The breakfast is delicious and the view is amazing!
Opportunities to dine with Disney characters also occur in the Disney Parks! At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, friends from Disney Junior host breakfast at
Hollywood and Vine! Minnie and friends take over duties for lunch and dinner. At EPCOT, Chip and Dale host lunch and dinner at
Garden Grill Restaurant! A few of Chip and Dale's pals jump in on the fun as well! And, over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse greet Guests at
Tusker House for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Rowena, character dining is extremely popular! Be sure to make your dining reservations 60-days prior to your vacation arrival date! You can make reservations on your My Disney Experience app! Keep in mind that characters are always subject to change. Also, upon arrival to your restaurant, be sure to inform the Cast Member at the front desk that you are celebrating a birthday! They will be sure to add a little extra magic to the birthday boy’s meal!
