Hollywood & Vine

Want a character breakfast that is not all princesses and has the option to not be over-stimulating? This is your place. We came here on a rainy day specifically knowing we needed to eat and had time to spend due to the morning rain. I guess not many people wanted to brave the rain with us because the restaurant was very empty for the hour we were there. I could see it being a bit much if it was full, but it was very nice and easy to have conversation while enjoying our meal. The view from the restaurant is of Echo Lake, which is a nice view for a relaxing morning. The bathroom for this property is shared with Prime Time Cafe, so make sure to return to the proper restaurant upon exiting. The characters we saw were Doc McStuffins, Vamparina, Fancy Nancy, and Goofy. There was a character for everyone to like at our table! Because the restaurant was not crowded, I feel we got extra character time. The characters were so nice and personable. My littles loved them all, but Goofy is a family favorite. This is a buffet and fixed price, but they switch out the buffet items often so they're never mushy or "old". The variety of options was endless it seemed, but their eggs Benedict, donut hole and fried chicken on a skewer (I don't even want to think about how many the five of us consumed), and Mickey waffles were a table favorite. They even have a dessert bar at breakfast, so naturally we got ice cream at 9:30 in the morning. Now the icing on the cake for this experience was the service. Our server, Gus, was fantastic. He made sure we had what we needed, was quick to whisk off the empty plates, and just was the pinnacle of hospitality. When they found out we had a birthday boy at the table, they brought out a birthday cupcake at breakfast. We were at Disney for birthdays last year, but a birthday cupcake at breakfast was extra special. I highly recommend Hollywood & Vine for a character breakfast with a good view and good vibes.

This was the most frustrating dining experience I've ever had at a Disney Park/On Property. We booked this solely for the Fantasmic priority seating. Our reservation was for 8, we we figured since it let us book the Fantasmic dining packing for 8 we'd be seated at the 9 o'clock showing. This was not the case, and no one said anything to us until we asked where we go to be seated. They said we didn't have a fantasmic package, but after checking our reservation we indeed did. The waitress was unsympathetic and unhelpful - just told us that we could catch the next showing but they didn't do seating for the second show only the first. This reflects how her service was as well, she seemed to actively avoid us and several times said she would bring us something only to never come with it. We were one of the last seatings of the night, so it was practically empty in the restaurant and it wasn't that she was busy. The food was mediocre, and the desserts were a disappointment. Only nice thing to say was the character interactions we're great and they went out of their way to see you and interact. In the end we were disappointed and frustrated, we had parkhopped all the way over here and paid a lot of money, we would have been better off fighting the crowds and getting a quick service meal.

I'm always trying different places at Disney and this one was no exception as it was food and characters how do you go wrong?Coming here I didn't really know what to expect because it was my friends choice but what I found was a lot of different options from lots of side dishes to some marinated chicken to some honey ham to some shrimp Mac and cheese all of which was just ok as nothing here really stood out as being amazing while it all was good I just feel like it was pretty standard and that it's all about the characters interaction here and not the food.The desert bar was cool too the apple crisp with the ice cream was yummy and it was definitely one of the better things here for the given night!Overall it was a cute time with friends Disney characters and some food what was good so you really can't go wrong but it's with this that I really feel like I wouldn't be back here again as there are other places that are just that much better!

First things first, if this was not in comparison to other Disney restaurants it would be 5 stars. The inside is clean, the food is good, the characters are AWESOME!!The thing is I didn't love the food very much. I just wasn't super excited by it. I think it could use an upgrade.I LOVED the characters, they were AWESOME! They came around a bunch of times and we had great interactions with them.This is really great for families and I would say definitely go for it.

I really enjoyed our buffet breakfast at Hollywood Vine restaurant. The kids loved meeting the characters. All the food was delicious. There were so many choices. We all over ate!

We had such an amazing experience here. When you do your reservation make sure to select the dinner and Fantasmic package not just the dinner. Do this and you will get FREE VIP tickets to the best show at Disney World. Fantasmic!! The food was excellent and the service was great. You get to meet Mickey, Goofy, Minnie and Pluto! Peal and eat shrimp, maple salmon was amazing and fresh cooked and cut steak. Try the chocolate cake for dessert it is the best! It has a diner feel to it but its a great buffet and great experience!

Walking in, the restaurant has kind of a retro vibe. (I didn't realize until later that it was connected to 50's Primetime Diner!). Today we did the character dining for Minnie's Spring Event. This restaurant is buffet style. Our waiter came over and gave us the rundown of all of the food on the buffet and took our drink order. The food was very tasty and flavorful. I'd always been afraid to try today but when it said "Asian Glazed" I figured why not?! It was absolutely delicious, to the point that I went back for seconds! Food wise - everything was really good and our server was great! We definitely got to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy multiple times as well. Since there were six of us, even though 3 weren't even 3 yet, we were still charged an 18% automatic gratuity. (Which is fine because we usually tip over 18%). Our server was great and deserved it and then some! Overall, it was a great experience. However, I feel It's a bit pricey for the buffet + character meal at $63/adult. I believe 3-10 years old is $39/each.

One those best Disney character buffet. Great food. Mickey and Friends so nice with everyone! Super recommend for families! What a great experience

Earlier this month, we took a trip to Disney World and a while in Hollywood Studios we attended the Hollywood and Vine restaurant for a character breakfast.This is a typical Disney buffet style restaurant, one of many that features character meals to enjoy with family. The restaurant was clean and the ambience was very 50s diner. The food was hot, fresh and constantly restocked to ensure abundance. Hot honey fried chicken and waffles along with cheesy eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, and many other dishes to appeal to all tastes. The service was good, although we were only assigned a single waitress for a large party. She worked hard to keep things running smoothly.Multiple characters appeared several times during our breakfast, so there was certainly no shortage of entertainment with children dancing in the isles and parents vying for pictures with all the characters who are only too happy to pose and interact with them. I give them a very good rating for doing an excellent character breakfast which is no easy feat.

We had the best time at Hollywood and Vine! I've been to a few character dining at the parks and by far, this has been my favorite. When I made reservations, we opted for the Fantasmic dining package. Sure, it's a bit more expensive ($75 as of 8/20/24) but we thought it was worth it. Our lunch reservation was for 1:10 pm and we had the option to check in 20 mins prior on the app or at the hostess stand. We got to the hostess stand around 12:45 pm and the very pleasant and lovely people already made us feel welcome. Not even 2 mins after checking in, we got a text that our table was ready. The restaurant basically changes its theme every season and today it was Halloween themed so all the characters were dressed in their Halloween costumes - it was darling! The restaurant was not completely full so the characters went around our table at least 2-3 times. Food here was pretty good too. Again some of their items are seasonal. They have something for everyone. My personal favorites are the wasabi salmon (fork tender and so moist) and fried tofu (crispy exterior with sticky sauce). Service we received was top notch. Our server, Nicholas was super attentive and was wonderful. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for character dining at HS. I can't wait until I get to come back here again!!
