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.

Breakfast a la Art Pastries

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…

Indoor seating closed

…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.

Ghirardelli Indoor Seating is OPEN!

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!

What’s your favorite thing to get at Ghirardelli? Let us know in the comments below!

Ingredients

Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup walnuts

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • Green food gel dye
  • Edible shimmer dust
  • Red food gel dye
  • Black food gel dye

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the butter, sour cream, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla, until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepped muffin tin. Bake for 17-19 minutes, until a toothpick test comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
  5. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt, until fluffy.
  6. Separate the frosting into three bowls, placing 1/2 in one bowl and stirring in the green food gel dye and shimmer dust to create a metallic icing. In the second bowl place 1/4 of the frosting, stirring in the red food gel dye. Into the third bowl stir the remaining frosting with black food gel dye.
  7. Spread the icing onto the muffins to create Boba Fett’s signature look.

We know we’ll be baking these Boba Fett Banana Bread Muffins to get our Star Wars fix until our next visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
