I’m so far behind on everything I set out to do in 2020, which makes no sense considering how much time I’ve been sitting at home! January was a huge month for us. We were just getting over a horrendous virus, pretty sure it was covid, and our weekends were jam packed with Girl Scout winter ski camps and our family trip to Walt Disney World. I finally managed to get all the videos we shot on our trip and here is part 1 of our Disney vacation! We stayed at the Old Key West Resort and this video highlights our park days at Epcot and Animal Kingdom!
Character Breakfast at the Hollywood and Vine
It seems like every time we visit Disney World we have to do a character breakfast of some sort. This past trip we did 2! We usually do the Cape May character breakfast and buffet at the Beach Club Resort. This year we decided to add a second character breakfast and try out the
Hollywood and Vine Restaurant.
Hollywood and Vine Character
Breakfast Buffet
It's located in the Hollywood Studios theme park right across from Echo Lake.
The character buffet is also offered for lunch as well, although, breakfast is cheaper at 30 per adult.
We were so excited to dine with the Characters from Disney Jr at the Hollywood Vine Restaurant located in the Hollywood Studios theme park!
I have to say, if you have kids that watch Disney Jr. they will love this character breakfast more than the others!
We decided to do an early breakfast so we could play in the park the rest of the day.
The characters included:
Sofia the First
Doc McStuffins
Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Handy Manny
The Buffet:
It was very good and offered plenty of options for all tastes such as waffles, eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt bar, frittatas.... I could go on but you get the idea. There is also a ice cream sundae bar that the kids will love!
The Scene:
Its set up like a 50's diner with the plastic and sparkly couches. The dining experience also provides some musical entertainment and dancing on the part of the characters in costume. Kids can get up and dance along with their favorite characters.
Overall, I would say we enjoyed this character breakfast the most! The characters are much more familiar to the kids and the food was great!!
Have you tried the Hollywood and Vine before? Have you tried a different character breakfast at Disney World? I'm curious as to what everyone else has tried!

There are endless things to do at Walt Disney World resort, so it's important to plan in advance and know what you want to see and do. Otherwise, you will miss out on some of the timed parades and shows. I'm all for just winging it but this really is not a place you go to without a plan... unless you go multiple times:).
