This character meal has improved drastically since we have last eaten here. The characters were fun and attentive. Our waiter was the nicest and most attentive that we had our entire trip. He really went above and beyond. The corn bread pudding is to die for. I have to find a recipe for it. I went for seconds and thirds!

I am very pleased to write a review for this restaurant. Not only did we see Handy Manny, Agent OSO, Jake and June at our table but there were multiple opportunities for dance parties during our stay. We did strive to enhance our interactions by bringing pirate patches, rockets, a tool kit etc. but the dancing in addition to the photo op is fabulous. My daughter was VERY pleased that June was there from the Einsteins, judging on the signage I would have to assume she will be replaced by Dr McStuffins or Sofia in the near future. As a side note, I didn't pay to much attention to the food, I remember I ate lunch and had no complaints

We eat here every trip and this year we actually went 3 times twice for breakfast and once for lunch. We were late for our reservations that is how we ended up going for lunch and I was a little nervous because I have heard bad reviews about their lunch but my family and I felt the lunch was very good they had a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and strawberries everyone loved it also their was some kind of breaded chicken that was very good also. I would highly recommened this restarant for the fun atmosphere and good food

This place does not get the credit and flow of people it deserves. If your little one loves Disney Junior characters, then this place should not be missed. This was our first time coming here, because our 2 year old little guy loves Disney Junior characters. They had Special Agent Oso, June from Little Einsteins, Handy Manny and Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He loves them all, so we thought this was a must do. The place is a fun looking place, but most importantly, the food was awesome! They had fresh fruit, pastries, waffles, pancakes, breakfast meats, all sorts of bread, oatmeal and the list goes on and on. The server was very nice and attentive. They had a young person sing and dance with the characters, which was fun and they played all of the Disney Junior theme songs we love. The characters gave the kids plenty of attention and spent a lot of time with them. Everything was excellent, we even wanted to let the manager know how great it was. The place really wasn't full at all and we actually felt bad, because we loved it. This will be a must go from now on. Check it out, you won't regret it.

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant about this place but I have to say it was one of the best meals we ate on our trip! Lots of variety and delicious foods. The desserts were wonderful as well. Definitely one of the best meals in all of Hollywood Studios. I have a 3 year-old and almost 2 year-old who loved the characters, especially June from Little Einsteins and Jake. Also, my kids aren't huge fans of chicken nuggets but they couldn't get enough of the ones here.

We had visited for the breakfast 5 years ago - and the lunch was being prepped as we left, so when we were making our reservations this time, the lunch was on our must-do list even though the characters are a little on the young side for our kids.
The kids did LOVE the attention of the characters who come around and spend as much time as you are up for with you, and the food did not disappoint!
The Chipotle BBQ Chicken was one of our favorites, but everything was yummy and the chocolate dipped deserts were a big hit too!

So I was kind of skeptical about eating here but decided to because my son loves Jake! We opted for the lunch oh and it was soooo good. My second favorite meal the entire week.
We ate here on January 28 2013! The asiago ranch chicken was so good, we all went back for more including my 21 month old DS who stabbed his fork into my husbands stole it and ate it! We very much enjoyed the create your own pasta! Everything there was sooo good I will be back this is one of my new favorites!

We were a party of 12. They had seated us with a long booth on one side and chairs on the other. Was told to put the children on the chair side. Mostly adults and it was really a pain to get up and slide over for the person beside you to get up and get refills. Next time I will ask for all chairs. No sooner I sat back down, someone else wanted to get up. The 2 kids really enjoyed the characters. They were great with the kids and the teenagers. They got the teenagers involved also. Made them laugh. They seem to enjoy it as much as the kids 2 & 5. Will go again.

|

We ate here on 12/6/12. The woman who seated our party was fantastic and let us go back and get our double stroller to bring in as she noticed our 10 month old was getting sleepy, I was very grateful for this. Our server was a different story. Only saw her once and never saw her smile. This broke my heart a little because you pay so much for the whole experience for your children and then you get a very unhappy person at your table. The breakfast food was pretty standard, nothing stood out at me but nothing was bad. The characters were great! DD3 was so happy to see the Disney Junior characters. We were there at the end of breakfast so it wasn't busy and she saw some charcters more than once which was nice. I wasn't to impressed with their dance party. The guys that were "in charge" of it were very happy and upbeat but the kids didn't seem all that into it, maybe it was just the kids that day. If I was going for the first time and my kids liked Disney Junior I would go, but I wouldn't return again...unless they add Doc McStuffins to the mix, then we would have to return!

I had eaten at Hollywood & Vine for dinner before and was not impressed. I was much more impressed for the character lunch. Most kids my sons age love Disney Jr. Handy Manny "snuck" up on my son when his back was turned and surprised him. When the Jake song came on, my son's face lit up. Food was great this time around too! I loved the chicken! I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone with young children!

Grumpy server

It was fun to interact with Jake, Handy Manny and June. The food was quite tasty. Our server was grumpy, however, and seemed annoyed whenever we asked for more drinks, napkins etc. And we didn't ask very often. However, one person shouldn't put a damper on any meal or event and I would recommend this breakfast to anyone who likes Disney Junior.

Went here on 10/12. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, there was also good choices. The service was great and the characters were great. Jake the never land pirate, handy manny, special agent Oso, and some of the Einstines.
The price is getting higher and higher so that's not the greatest but it was a good experience.

What a fun breakfast. My 3 year old son, who loves to sing and dance, was the happiest and most excited to meet Jake, June, Handy Manny, and Oso. Also, the Chef helped us find allergy-free food he could eat. There was an excellent selection of fresh fruits. The potato casserole was delicious. Our reservation was at 8:30am and the restaurant was not very busy yet. We got to see each character many times. Ryan liked it when he was able to go to the front and dance with the characters. I will do this breakfast again!

If you have small children who love Disney Jr., this is a must do. We had a 1 year old, 3 year old, and a 5 year old in our party and they had so much fun. We had an 11 am reservations and were seated promptly on time. This is the best time to go because it is the first seating time for lunch and not too many people had arrived yet. We almost had the characters all to ourselves. I think each character came around 3 times in the hour we were there. Plus they do singing of the characters theme songs and were really interactive with the kids.
The food was typical buffet food. If you go to character dining looking for great food, that is a mistake. But its good food and they have great sections for kids and us adults who enjoy kids good.

Suprised DD6 with lunch here as Jake is her favorite character. This is the best character interaction. Loved that Jake & Oso were added. (Wish that Doc McStuffins is added soon). The singing & dancing with the characters is great. DD6 was dressed like Izzy (Jake's pirate pal) & the interaction with Jake & DD was priceless.
The food was good. Lots of choices - chicken, fish, beef, lots of sides & salad. I like that at buffets DD can choose adult food over the usual chicken nuggets. Even had roasted chicken on the kids buffet.
Server was just OK. We had to keep asking for refills & asking other servers to take away some dirty plates. The place was not crowded either.
I would recommend this location for lunch & will return here for lunch on our next trip!
