News: Menu Updates For Disney World’s Topolino’s Terrace Character Dining Ahead of Reopening

There are a LOT of ways that dining is going to look different when some Disney World resort hotels reopen on June 22nd.

In addition to required face coverings, reduced contact menus, and cashless payments, guests are going to see different menu items AND reduced menus. And one of the FIRST Disney World restaurants to reopen is already showing trimmed-down offerings on the Disney World website.

Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera at Disney’s Riviera Resort is showing a smaller menu on Disney World’s website.

One of the biggest changes comes at breakfast. The shared pastries (Chocolate-Chip Muffin, Epi Bread, Croissant, Seasonal Danish, House-made Jam, Honey Butter, Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread) are no longer featured on the menu.

For breakfast entrees, the menu has been reduced from nine items to six, with the Croissant au Jambon, Spiced Sausage Hash, and Wood-fired Butchers Steak gone.

Meanwhile, the Quiche Gruyere, Two Eggs Any-Style, Wild Mushroom Scramble, Sour Cream Waffle, Smoked Salmon, and Fruit Plate remain.

The price remains at $42 for adults and $27 for kids — VERY pricy for a non-park character meal on property. But, guests may be willing to pay the price. After all, we previously reported that Topolino’s Terrace breakfast will be the ONLY character dining experience at Walt Disney World when it reopens, making it a very probable hot ticket.

The dinner menu also looks quite reduced. Previously, there were 11 antipasto and starter dishes offered, but now just four remain: Olives Marinees, Ricotta, Beets Barigoule, and Romaine Insalata.

As for entrees, the menu shows just six options: Rigatoni, Linguine Scampi, Classic Sole Meuniere, Braised Lamb Shank, Filet Mignon, and Tarbais Bean Cassoulet.

Menu items such as the Bouillabaisse, Herb Fettuccine, Tomahawk Veal Chop and others are gone.

Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake, Pistachio Mousse, and Fruits of the Forest are still available for dessert. However, the Apple Tarte Tatin, Profiteroles, and the House Fromage Board are gone from the menu on the Disney World website.

It’s important to note that while the menu is looking very different, it could change again prior to reopening! This is the first menu change we’ve seen at the Walt Disney World Resorts ahead of select hotels reopening on June 22nd, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom’s reopening on July 11th, and EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopening on July 15th. Menus have definitely been reduced at the newly reopened Disney Springs restaurants, however, so this trend seems to be in line with other locations on property.

If more menus are slimmed down, you know we’ll fill you in on all the details!

Will you be dining at Topolino’s Terrace when it reopens at Disney World? Let us know what you think of all the menu changes in the comments!

Indoor Seating Is BACK at This Classic Ice Cream Spot in Disney Springs!

You know that moment when you just feel so happy about something, you can’t help but smile? That’s how we feel about Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop being back open in Disney Springs!

Indoor Seating Is BACK at This Classic Ice Cream Spot in Disney Springs!

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

We’ve eaten a ridiculous amount of ice cream from Ghirardelli so far, with the new Gold Rush Sundae and Nacho Sundae (and we don’t even feel sorry about it!), we were happy to find another surprise when we visited today!

Indoor dining was back, baby!!

Ghirardelli previously had closed off its indoor seating and a Cast Member would bring your treats outside to you…

…but now, indoor seating is back open for guests to chill out in the A/C and cool off with some cold treats! Be aware, there isn’t MUCH seating since Ghirardelli is enforcing social distancing measures. So if you go and it’s full, don’t panic! Guests can still sit right outside the shop and enjoy their ice cream.

With so many goodies to choose from at Ghirardelli, we’re happy to sit anywhere as long as we have a nice sundae or shake in our hands!

Bubble Waffle

Even though we’ve been able to have a Frozcato and flaming cheese since Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district reopened, we really missed those HUGE Bubble Waffles! (Just look at how fabulous it is!)

So, we were super happy to see that AristoCrépes has reopened in Disney Springs so we can snack to our heart’s content!!

While we may not be setting foot in EPCOT again until July 15th, Disney is still making progress on its new attractions and experiences in the parks. And, we’ve got some groovy news for all you Guardians of the Galaxy fans out there!

While many fans have speculated that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind didn’t have a “show” yet, work on the attraction is well underway, according to James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

During an Instagram Q&A session, Gunn confirmed that he’s been helping with Cosmic Rewind. Although he didn’t give any specific details about what the indoor rollercoaster would be like, he did state that it would be “utterly mind-blowing.” (It looks like that doggo is just as excited as we are!!)

There’s been no update on construction lately, but the Cosmic Rewind is projected to open at EPCOT ahead of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021. We’ll keep you up to date on the latest news straight from Star Lord and the rest of the gang! ;D

PHOTOS! Brand NEW Animal Kingdom Bag Check Area in Disney World!

We’re only four weeks out until Disney World’s official grand re-opening!

PHOTOS! Brand NEW Animal Kingdom Bag Check Area in Disney World!

Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The parks will be opening in phases with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom slated to re-open first and Epcot and Hollywood Studios following after them. Although we’ve spotted construction on the McDonald’s, Cinderella Castle, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Walkway, there are even MORE new updates coming to Disney World than we even knew about.

Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we were able to see a first look at the new bag check area coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

While the security check has been under construction for a while with green tarps near the parking lots, the bag check area is projected to (hopefully) open along with the rest of Animal Kingdom on July 11th.

There is a new area for the trams when Disney puts more transportation back into use during the parks’ phased re-openings…

…and enough space for numerous guests to be able to go through security for a smooth entrance into Animal Kingdom.

While there is PLENTY of progress on the new bag check, we can’t be fully certain that the construction will be finished in a month. Disney Springs is also testing a new touchless security check method today that could possibly be used when parks re-open in July as well. However, we will continue to keep you updated on all things Disney World and its re-opening!

Will you be going to Animal Kingdom on July 11th? Let us know in the comments below!
