Before the COVID closures, Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast was a popular character dining breakfast, with characters like Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy dressed up for a day at the beach. We’re expecting the characters to return like before the closures, guests will once again be able to dine with Minnie and her pals while eating breakfast.
