Located in Disney’s Beach Club Resort, the Cape May Cafe Breakfast Buffet features Minnie and her friends — Daisy, Donald and Goofy — ready for a seaside celebration.
Cape May Cafe serves breakfast and dinner at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. The dining room evokes New England capes with light, airy colors and an open, spacious layout. The restaurant hosts Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast — a character breakfast buffet with Minnie and friends — and later reopens for a seafood-focused dinner buffet (no characters at dinner).
If you want character interactions, make a breakfast reservation. Breakfast runs roughly from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and characters only appear during that meal period. The dinner buffet offers seafood options but does not include characters.
Cape May Cafe Location:
Cape May Cafe is inside Disney’s Beach Club Resort, adjacent to EPCOT. After entering the resort, the restaurant is located in the lobby area on the right.
How to get to Cape May Cafe:
Traveling to Beach Club is easiest when you stay on property. If you don’t, there are a few options:
- Bus: Use Walt Disney World bus transportation to a park, then transfer to the Beach Club. Depending on timing, this can be inconvenient.
- Car: Driving is often the most straightforward option. Guests with a dining reservation can park at the resort for free.
- Rideshare services like Uber or Lyft are also convenient if you don’t have a car.
Pro tip: If someone drops you off, consider walking to EPCOT afterward (it’s nearby) or take a park bus — you may not need to pay for a return rideshare.
Breakfast Pricing:
Breakfast is a fixed-price buffet. Prices are before tax and gratuity. Children are ages 9 and under.
- $45 for an adult
- $29 for a child (age 9 and under)

Characters:
Minnie hosts the Beach Bash breakfast in a colorful sundress and hat. Daisy, Donald and Goofy join her, all dressed for a day at the shore. The experience includes a surf-style dance party and opportunities for autographs and photos.
Minnie Mouse: Dressed for the beach in a bright sundress and hat.
Goofy: Appears in swim attire and a bucket hat, beach-ready.
Daisy: Colorful and accessorized, stylish as always.
Donald: Wearing resort-ready attire for meet-and-greets.
Character Dining Pricing:
Character dining experiences command a premium because you’re paying for both the meal and the character interactions. Food is typically buffet or family-style; many guests find the food good, though not always as elevated as non-character signature restaurants. The main value is the opportunity to meet characters in a relaxed setting.
Cape May Cafe Breakfast Final Review:
Cape May Cafe delivers a fun character breakfast in a spacious, welcoming setting. The atmosphere and service are strong points, and the omelet station and kid-friendly offerings are highlights. While the food is solid and covers classic breakfast favorites, some other buffets may edge it out on variety or uniqueness. Overall, it’s an excellent pick for families who want character interaction, photos and autographs in a bright, beach-themed space.
