It’s Halloween Time at Minnie’s Hollywood and Vine Seasonal Character Dining! This is one of 5 meals offered throughout the year, and the menus are very similar (if not exactly the same!) while the Character Rotate throughout the seasonal dining options.
This is the only Character Meal at Hollywood Studios. Nearby Character restaurants include Topolinos at Disney’s Riveria Resort and Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club (both are breakfasts!)
Plus the Hollywood and Vine Disney Jr. Character Breakfast! This is a fun first meal of the day, with an AUCE buffet! See the Allergy Menu and Review for the Disney Jr Breakfast.
I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed this meal, as it’s been good in the past but not great. This is now one of my top Character Meals for Disney World. And it was also a winner for the Holiday Theme

Hollywood and Vine Halloween Dine Allergy Review
This is a Buffet, and with any Buffet, Disney has a disclaimer that there is significant cross contact. You are able to use the allergy sheet to talk to a Chef and have the items brought from the back, so that is what we did!
You can see more about dining at Buffets at Disney World in this full guide post.
Chef brought out the rolls and some fruit for us to enjoy. It does take some time, and this time it did take about 30 minutes. The Chef then brought out a big plate for my daughter and I to share. It was very well presented, but I seperated it before taking pictures just to show how much food is served for two people.
We didn’t see the Chef again, but out server did bring out the dessert! We opted for the Chef Special Top 8, Gluten Free, Plant Based Chocolate Cake. This is the same cake served at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. It is a very dense cake with lots of chocolatey flavor.
