Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast is one of my very favorite character breakfast in all of Walt Disney World in Orlando! I was lucky enough to snag a last minute reservation on my most recent trip. It is one of the newest character breakfast options and has elevated the experience by offering a fantastic, quality menu with a beautiful view and classic characters. Read more for some tips on planning your breakfast at Topolino’s.

Where is Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast located within Disney World?

Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast is located on the top floors of Disney World’s Riviera Resort, one of Disney World’s newest resorts. It is a beautiful European style resort which opened in December 2019. Riviera is a Disney Vacation Club property, although both DVC owners and non-DVC owners may stay there.

The resort is on the Disney Skyliner route, so guests can access both Epcot and Hollywood Studios on the Riviera Skyliner route. Guests at Pop Century, Art of Animation, and Caribbean Beach Resorts can also easily reach the Riviera on the Skyliner.

How does Topolino’s Terrace Breakfast a la Art with Mickey and Friends character breakfast work?

You will need a reservation for Topolino’s Terrace dining room. Remember, you can currently make dining reservations 60+ days in advance of your trip. Characters circulate throughout the restaurant several times during the hour, and they are great to pause and pose for pictures. Currently, guests stay in their seats and do not approach the characters.

Every meal starts with your choice of beverage (including POG juice!) and a basket of pastries. Diners can also select an entrée and sides. You can request more of any item to be brought out as you continue through the meal. I loved having a whole carafe of artisanal roasted Joffrey’s coffee to myself!

What pastries are included with the breakfast?

What can you order at Topolino’s Terrace Flavors of the Riviera adult breakfast menu?

Adults can choose from the breakfast menu Quiche Gruyere, Wild Mushroom Scramble, Smoked Salmon, choice of smoked bacon, Spiced Sausage Hash, Two Eggs Any Style, Sour Cream Waffles, Fruit Plate, or Butcher’s Steak. I chose the quiche which included a side salad and roasted petite potatoes with a side of Mickey and Minnie Waffles. The orange-maple syrup is a delicious accompaniment with the waffles!

My friend enjoyed the Butchers steak and let me sneak a bite! It was amazingly tender and well worth the price! Breakfast non-alchoholic drinks and cocktails are also available for order. Our neighbors raved about their Riviera Bloody Mary cocktails, so if that’s your thing, it would be worth a shot! Many also talk about how wonderful the Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco Superiore tastes!

What can you order at Topolino’s Terrace breakfast for children?

The kids menu includes scrambled eggs, Mickey and Minnie Waffle dippers, and fruit and yogurt. Their sides include roasted potatoes, fruit cup, sausage and/or bacon. They also have their choice of small lowfat milk and juice options.

How much is Topolino’s Terrace character breakfast?

Topolino’s Terrace is a signature table-service restaurant offering a character breakfast experience at Disney World. Breakfast is $24 for children ages 3-9 and $41 for adults (currently in May 2021). I think it is one of the best character meal experiences I have experienced at Disney World! The character interaction was great, and the food was unique and delicious!

Is Topolino’s breakfast all you can eat?

Topolino’s Terrace offers a prix fixe menu with unique Italian flavors. After receiving your beverages and pastries, you will order an entrée with sides. Feel free to order more throughout the meal as you desire. Believe me, you won’t leave a little bit hungry!

Does Topolino’s have a dress code?

There is a printed dress code at Topolino’s, however, I would say that’s more of the expectation at dinner. Most guests wore park-ready, modest clothing. However, it is a nicer dining experience so I would suggest no tank tops, super short shorts, etc. The official dress code from Disney’s website reads:

“Men must wear khakis, slacks or dress shorts and collared shirts. Jeans may be worn if in good condition. Sport coats are optional.

Women must wear Capri pants, skirts, dresses or dress shorts. Jeans may be worn if in good condition.

Not permitted are tank tops, flip-flops, swimsuits, swimsuit cover-ups, hats for gentlemen, cut-offs, torn clothing and t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics.”

How do you get to Topolino’s?

You can drive to the Riviera resort and show proof of your dining reservation on your My Disney Experience app. Also, you can take a resort bus from the parks to the Riviera or you can take the Skyliner from Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, or Art of Animation.

What can I do at the Riviera while at Topolino’s?

The Riviera rooftop restaurant has a great view of Disney’s Skyliner while you are dining at Topolino’s. Take a minute to walk out on their balcony and check out the Skyliner, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort overhead view while you are there!
