Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals

Kids? Then you just have to do this. It’s a riot. See for yourself. Worth the cost for a kids adventure they will talk about for years.

Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals is the Four Seasons Orlando’s character dining breakfast at their Ravello restaurant. If you’re looking to character dining option in Disney World, this is the BEST. You breakfast food options are amazing, there are no crazy crowds, and the characters will come around to your table multiple times so your children get a chance to interact with them.
My Overall Rating — 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)
Atmosphere — Located at the Four Seasons Orlando hotel, Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals is a dining option that is offered a few times a week (check the schedule or call the concierge). Like the rest of the hotel, it is a beautiful restaurant. The hotel itself is only a few months old, and everything is still brand-​new. The ceilings are high, the space is bright and open, and you just feel like you’re at an amazing hotel, because you are. 1 Star.
Service — Just like all Four Seasons hotels, the service is amazing. They cater to families, so they will make you feel at home, welcome, and accommodate any of your needs. Seriously, if you have a request 95% of the time they can fulfill it will matter how extraordinary this. But the key to this experience is of course Goofy, Minnie, & Mickey. These three characters roam around the restaurant and will take the time to visit each table. Best of all, it is not a crazy and crowded affair, so on our visit we saw them circle our table at least five times. There were plenty of times for fun poses, hugs, and interaction with the kids. 1 Star.
Food — In all honesty, seeing Goofy and his pals are bonus. Why? Because if you’ve ever been to a Disney resort character dining meal, the food is pretty average to just plain bad. Most the restaurants know that families are coming to dine with the characters, so they do not put much effort into the food. The Four Seasons Orlando does not do that. The breakfast spread here is incredible. There are pastries, yogurt and granola parfaits, fresh fruit, breads, cereals, cheese, Italian meats, and more. There is also a cook to order omelet\egg bar, s ‘mores pancakes, French toast, and of course high quality bacon and sausage. Orange juice and coffee are immediately brought out, but you can also request a pineapple and apple juices if you prefer. Seriously, the breakfast here is amazing. When you add the Disney characters it becomes an unforgettable experience. 2 Stars.
Will I Return? — Yes. I’ll come back to Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals even if I did not stay at the Four Seasons Orlando. This has by far been the best experience I have ever had dining with Disney characters. For once I felt that there was no compromise on the quality of food, and the extra attention from Goofy and his pals was extraordinary. If you are Disney fan and you don’t want to deal with large crowds and bad food, this is the place to go. 1 Star.
My Unilocal Rating Scale (Sum of all parts):
1 Star — Atmosphere — Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I’ll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm.
1 Star — Service — You can have a great meal with bad service. But that’s also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It’s important to the dining experience that service is great and on point.
2 Stars — Food — I’ll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it’s really all about the food.
1 Star — Will I come back? — If I know for a fact I’ll return, I’ll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return.
Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Unilocal score.

This is the first time having a Disney character breakfast outside of the main Disney resorts and it was amazing. Breakfast with Goofy and his Pals is a great character breakfast experience with the quality, details and service that folks come to the expect from a Four Seasons resort. The price is about the same from other character breakfast but the ambiance, character experience and food is ten times better. The buffet include a made to order omelet station, and fruit and salad bar with some great cheese and salmon dishes. There’s even a kid section with PB&J sandwiches. The service was outstanding. Our waiter took care of the parking valet fee. We went on Christmas Day and the hotel had Mr and Mrs Santa for the kids to take photos, make decorations and have hot Cocoa. It was one of the best Santa experiences with Santa sitting with kids and even played «Stump Santa» questions. Ravello is a great place to have a nice meal without too much hustle and heavy foot traffic. Having breakfast there on Christmas Day with Goofy and Mickey made our Christmas morning complete. Highly recommended! #fourseasons #ravelli
